The Chepangic languages, Chepang and Bujhyal (perhaps divergent dialects of a single language), are Tibeto-Burman languages of uncertain affiliation spoken in Nepal. They are often classified as part of the Mahakiranti or Magaric families (van Driem 2001).
The Chepang people were until recently hunter-gatherers.
