About Nepali

Nepali is a member of the Eastern Pahari of the Indo-Aryan language family spoken mainly in Nepal and northern India by about 25 million people. In 2011 there were about 20.9 million speakers of Nepali in Nepal, where it is a statutory national language. About 45% of the people in Nepal (12.3 million) speak Nepali as their mother tongue, and another 33% (8.6 million) speak it as a second language. It is the main language of government, education and the legal system.

There are about 2.9 million Nepali speakers in India, mainly in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal, where it is a statutory provincial language, and also in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram and Uttarakhand.

Other countries with significant numbers of Nepali speakers include Myanmar (299,000), the USA (94,200), Bhutan (85,000), Australia (62,000) and the UK (52,800) [source]. Nepali speakers in Bhutan make up about 35% of the population and are known as Lhotsampa .

Historically, Nepali was called Khas Kura, spoken by the Khas people of Karnali, and Gorkhali, the language of the Gorkha Kingdom, before the term Nepali was adopted. The origin of the modern Nepali language is believed to be from Sinja Valley in Jumla. The Nepali dialect Khas Bhasa is still spoken among the people of the region.

Nepali was first written in the Brahmi script in about 981 AD during the reign of King Bhupal Damupal. From the 12th century, the Devanagari alphabet, which developed from the Brahmi script in the 11th century, became the primary script for Nepali.
