You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Etymology==
''Tamang'' may have been derived from the Tibetan  word ''Tamang'', where ''Ta'' means "horse" and ''Mak'' means "warrior" in [[Tibetan language (standard)|Tibetan]]. However, there are no written documentations of Horse Riders. Some scientific research claims the Tamangs have Pand Genetic roots with tibetan.<ref name="Chronicles of ADVENTURE TRAVEL">((Cite news|url=https://advancedadventures.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/tamang-people-of-nepal/|title=Who actually are the Tamang People?

== History ==
Historical accounts show that the Tamang ethnic group originated in [[Tibet]]. The word "Ta" in the [[Classical Tibetan|Tibetan language]] means horse, and "Mang" means traders; hence, their original way of life evolved around horses and trade.<ref>https://lib.icimod.org/record/11231/files/6185.pdf</ref> The Tamangs, who have lived on hills outside the [[Kathmandu Valley]] to the southern slopes of [[Langtang]], [[Ganesh Himal|Ganesh]], Jugal Himal and [[Rolwaling Himal|Rolwaling]] probably since prehistoric times, have been mentioned in various Nepalese and colonial historical records under a variety of names, such as Bhote, Lama, Murmi, Sain, some of which terms erroneously conflate the Tamangs with Uighurs.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Tamang |first=Ganesh |date=2003 |title=An Ethnobiological Study of the Tamang People |url=https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/ON/article/view/303 |journal=Our Nature |language=en |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=37–41 |doi=10.3126/on.v1i1.303 |issn=2091-2781|doi-access=free ))</ref> The Tibetans called them ''Rongpa''.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Paudel |first=Dinesh |date=2021-09-20 |title=Himalayan BRI: an infrastructural conjuncture and shifting development in Nepal |journal=Area Development and Policy |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=1–21 |doi=10.1080/23792949.2021.1961592 |s2cid=239242919 |issn=2379-2949))</ref>

Various Gorkha rulers led campaigns against the indigenous Tamangs. The Gorkha Vamsavali provides details of battles with the ''Bhotyas'' of a variety of principalities between 1806 and 1862. In 1739, a ruler named Ghale-Botya attacked [[Nara Bhupal Shah|Narabhupal Shah]] as he was marching towards [[Nuwakot District|Nuwakot]], and Narabhupal Shah also fought several battles against Golma Ghale. In 1762, [[Prithvi Narayan Shah]] attacked the Tamangs in [[Temal Rural Municipality|Temal]], the Tamang cultural heartland. Tamang oral history says that the local chief, Rinjen Dorje, was killed by the Gorkhas. Gorkhali forces had hidden their weapons in the sand on the [[Sunkoshi River|Sunkoshi]] riverbank in order to attack the Tamang forces. Afterwards, the Gorkhas washed their weapons in springs at [[Dapcha Chhatrebangh|Dapcha Kuwapani]], and this is why the modern-day Tamangs do not drink there. Similar stories appear in oral histories throughout the region.<ref name=":0">((Cite book |last=Gellner |first=David |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N9CGAwAAQBAJ |title=Ethnic Activism and Civil Society in South Asia |date=2009-09-10 |publisher=SAGE Publications India |isbn=978-81-321-0422-3 |language=en))</ref>

After the attack on the Tamang region, their traditional homeland area, known as ''kipat'' to the Gorkhas, was granted to Gorkha generals or government officials who had pleased the king in some way, displacing the Tamangs from ''kipat'' lands. Previously Tamang landholdings had been divided up by clan. Tamangs also had various forced labour obligations, both in times of peace and war, that differed significantly from other regions of Nepal. One reason is the proximity of the Tamang homeland to the centre of royal administration at Kathmandu.<ref name=":0" />

Tamangs were also involved in the [[Sino-Nepalese War]] (1788 to 1792). ([[Nepali language|Nepali]]: नेपाल-चीन युद्ध), also known as the '''Sino-Gorkha war''' and in Chinese the '''Campaign of Gorkha''' ([[Traditional Chinese characters|Chinese]]: 廓爾喀之役).The war was initially fought between Nepalese Gorkhas and Tibetan armies over a trade dispute related to a long-standing problem of low-quality coins manufactured by Nepal for Tibet. A few hundred eventually settled in Tibet, they are known as [[Daman people]] in China. Previously stateless, since 2003 the Chinese government has classified them as ethnic Tibetans.<ref>((Cite web

Their typical song and dance style is known as [[Tamang Selo]], and includes songs representing humor, satire, joy and sorrow. It has a brisk movement and rhythmic beat specific to the Tamangs.<ref name="EmergentNE" /> A distinctive musical instrument is the [[damphu drum|damphu]], a small, round drum covered with goatskin. Traditional Tamang songs are known as Hwai.
