The article describes reduplication in Bantawa. Bantawa is one of the pronominalized languages of the Tibeto-Himalayan branch of the Tibeto-Burman subfamily. It is widely spoken in the eastern part of Nepal. Bhojpur, Dhankutta, Panchttar, Illam, Jhapa, Morang, and Sunsari are the major districts of Mechi, Koshi, and Sagarmatha zones of eastern Nepal where Bantawa is spoken. It is also spoken in some parts of Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Sikkim, and Bhutan. Reduplication is one of the most productive morphological processes in Bantawa.
