Chug (also called Chugpa or Duhumbi) is a Kho-Bwa language of West Kameng district, Arunachal Pradesh in India. It is closely related to Lish.
Chug is spoken only in Chug village (population 483 in 1971), located a few miles from Dirang (Blench & Post 2011:3).[1]
Chug is spoken in Duhumbi village. [2] Despite speaking languages closely related to Mey (Sherdukpen), the people identify as Monpa, not Mey.
