Bahing is a language native to Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu District of eastern Nepal which speaks by Bahing Peoples. It was first studied and described by Brian Houghton Hodgson in the middle of the nineteenth century. Hodgson provided detailed documentation of the most elaborate verbal agreement morphology encountered in any Tibeto-Burman language to date, with Bahing transitive verbs distinguishing 58 distinct forms in each tense. In the 1970s, Boyd Michailovsky visited the Bahing area of Rangadip Okhaldhunga and described the degenerate conjugational system of a dying language. Research by George van Driem resulted in a morphemic analysis of the old and modern Bahing verbal agreement systems, and the Bahing conjugation has been studied in the comparative context of historical Kiranti and Tibeto-Burman morph syntax. Bahing is a language spoken by 11,658 people (2011 census) of the Bahing ethnic group in Nepal. It belongs to the family of Kiranti languages, a subgroup of Sino-Tibetan.
