Eastern Magar is a variety of the Tibeto-Burman language Magar which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is spoken by the Eastern Magar people who inhabit Nepal and India including in various districts and towns in Bagmati Province, and Koshi Province as well as the state of Sikkim in India, and is also spoken in Bhutan. Phonologically, it includes a range of consonants and vowels, with specific tonal features that contribute to its distinct sound patterns.[1][2] [3]

Eastern Magar typically follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) structure, where the subject is followed by the object and then the verb. This is a common feature in many Tibeto-Burman languages.[3][5]
Ethnologue reports that the variety of Eastern Magar spoken in the Eastern Development Region of Nepal differs from the variety spoken west of Kathmandu and that intelligibility between the three main dialects of Eastern Magar differ.[1][6]
