Nepali or Nepalese (नेपाली) is a language in the Tibeto-Burman languages o. It is the official language and de facto lingua
franca of Nepal and is also spoken in Bhutan,Nepali has official language status in the formerly independent state of Sikkim
and in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. Nepali developed in proximity to a number of Tibeto-Burman languages, most notably
Kirati and Gurung, and shows Tibeto-Burman influences. Historically, the language was first called Khaskura (language of the
khas 'rice farmers'), then Gorkhali or Gurkhali (language of the Gorkha Kingdom) before the term Nepali was taken from Nepal
Bhasa. Other names include Parbatiya (mountain language, identified with the Parbatiya people of Nepal) and Lhotshammikha
(the southern language of the Lhotshampa people of Bhutan). The name 'Nepali' is ambiguous, as it was originally a pronunciation
of Nepal Bhasa, the Tibeto-Burman language of the capital Kathmandu. |
