Kumal (Nepali: कुमाल) is a caste or ethnic group in Nepal, traditionally associated with pottery.[2] Their traditional profession is endangered due to competition from cheaper, more durable industrial pots.[3] Fewer youths learn the skills.[2]
Kumal people speak the Kumal language;[4] their traditional dance, the Pangdure, is considered endangered.[5] According to the population census of 2011, 121,000 Kumals live in Nepal; there are 12,000 native speakers of the Kumal language.[1]
