?????? – Facts about the Nepali language
Nepali, sometimes known as Nepalese to English speakers, is an official language of Nepal. Estimated numbers of native speakers of Nepali range between 16 to 35 million, as the distinction between the numbers of first and second language speakers is not clear. Outside of Nepal, Nepali is widely used in India and Bhutan. There are also populations of Nepali speakers in Burma.
Nepali belongs to the Indo-Ayran branch of the Indo-European family of languages. It is related to other South Asian languages such as Hindi, Bengali and Gujarati. However, as it developed in close proximity to a number of Tibeto-Burman languages, in particular Nepal-Bhasa (another major language used throughout Nepal), influences from these languages are evident in Nepali.
Linguists commonly classify Nepali dialects into seven groups: Baitadi, Bajhangi, Bajurali (Bajura), Doteli (Dotali, Gaunle), Soradi, Acchami, Darjula These dialects can vary greatly and in some cases are not mutually intelligible with standard Nepali.
Nepali is written in a Devanagari script, which derives from the Brahmi script of Ancient India. Nepali script possesses 11 vowels and 33 consonants.
