I already made sure before via Ethnologue that there is no language of that name. However, a Altavista search (Google stinks) brings interesting results: - there seems to be a river, a mountain and a location in Mongolia named "Choton", but I could find neither in my world atlas. - It seems to be a Nepalese first name (perhaps also in other countries in that area). There were many links about a Dr. Choton Basu, a college prof in WI-Whitewater. - Choton is a precint of NY!? Someone can confirm that? Found it here: http://athletics.vassar.edu/crosscountry/w-roster.php -- Pascal A. Kramm, author of Choton official Choton homepage: http://www.choton.org
