It's a language, but is in an ethnic group/people? I cannot verify any reliable source that says so. The article relies largely on peoplegroups.org which is a Christian missionary site (non-RS) and ethnologue which covers that it is a language. No significant coverage of the alleged ethnic group/people found. (t · c) buidhe 19:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have my doubts as well, nothing in either GScholar or Jstor for the "Chali people". I'm not well versed on ethnic groups of Bhutan, so I don't feel comfortable recommending a delete. Oaktree b (talk) 19:23, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These are some sources i found that mention the Chali ethnic group of Bhutan^[1]^[2]^[3](Quotennial (talk) 20:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)) Quotennial (talk) 20:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I checked all these sources. #1 looks to be another non-RS Christian missionary source. #2 mentions the language and a village called Chali, but does not mention an ethnic group. #3 briefly mentions the language but does not support the existence of an ethnic group.
