Kulung (autonym: Kulu rɩŋ, [kulu rɪŋ]) is a Kiranti language spoken by an estimated 33,000 people in some ten villages along the upper reaches of the Huṅgu or Hoṅgu river (a tributary of the Dūdhkosī), in Solu Khumbu District of Sagarmāthā Zone, Nepal. The main Kulung-speaking villages are Chemsīṅ and Cheskām. The particular dialect of the language spoken in these two villages is considered by the Kulung to be the most original form of their language.
