Western Magar is a Tibeto-Burman language of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is spoken mainly in Gandaki and Lumbini provinces of Nepal. Despite some dialectal variations, Western Magar is reportedly highly intelligible across its different forms.[1]

Western Magar is characterized by its SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order, utilization of postpositions with a prevalence of case clitics, and a noun structure where the head comes at the end. It exhibits both alienable and inalienable noun classes, incorporates content question words in situ, and allows for the attachment of up to 3 prefixes and 7 suffixes to words. The marking of clause constituents is achieved through case markings, and verbal affixation is employed for indicating person and number. Ergativity, tense, aspect, and passives are distinctive features of this language, which lacks tonal distinctions. It encompasses 33 to 37 consonant and 6 vowel phonemes.[1][3]
