Excerpt from A Grammar of the Rong (Lepcha) Language, as It Exists in the Dorjeling and Sikim Hills

Before presenting to the public a grammar of a language, it may be considered meet to give some information regarding the country and people, especially where, as in the present instance, little is known respecting either. Relating to the Lepchas and country, however, little information can be imparted. Sikim is in Lat. 27� 2' 53 N. Lon. 88� 18' 41 E. And is bounded on the North by Tibet; on the East by pr1i(b1'1tan) on the West by Nepal; and formerly extended on the South to near Titalyah in the Plains.
