It is written in the article :
  • "Sikkim state: Dzongu district; West Bengal state: Darjeeling district, Kalimpong."

But Dzongu (Djongu) is not a "district", but an "assembly constituency"

Official site: https://northsikkim.nic.in/dzongu-sub-division/

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djongu_Assembly_constituency

Also, it is unclear if it is the city of Kalimpong, its area, its municipality, or its district.

Editorial Action

We will update the location information for Lepcha [lep] in India, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
