Kochila Tharu, also called Septari or Saptariya Tharu, Madhya-Purbiya Tharu, and Mid-Eastern Tharu, is a diverse group of language varieties in the Tharu group of the Indo-Aryan languages. The several names of the varieties refer to the regions where they dominate.[2] It is one of the largest subgroupings of Tharu.[3] It is spoken mainly in Nepal and India, with approximately 250,000 speakers as of 2003.[4] In addition to language, cultural markers around attire and customs connect individuals into the ethnic identity Kochila.
Heavily concentrated in the eastern area of Terai,[4] speakers of Kochila Tharu live in linguistically diverse regions and are generally multilingual (with the exception of some elderly female speakers).[5] A 2013 survey by SIL International found that the language was being taught to children as their first language and used conversationally between multiple generations of speakers, characteristics of a "vigorous" language as defined by the Ethnologue Expanded Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS).[2][5]
