Comments: The source states that the described variety is spoken in the village Kvar (Квар), which we could not locate. Glottolog coordinates are adopted. Nasalised vowels are mostly found in borrowings. Phonemic /ʈ, ʈʰ/ are found in Nepali borrowings but are in free variation with dentals in native vocabulary. Suprasegmental phenomena in Dunwar have not been investigated.
