and scharchop is only a spoken language, there might not be any records of such language, nor even on the internet, there
is not necessary information, however, with the help of the Bhutanese people, this website will be a starting point
to those whom might wish or attempt to learn this amazing language, that has its connections to the hearts of the bhutanese
people, may you have an endeavour to the heart of true learning
a very useful website which contains a rare story
