Nepali language
Nepali or Nepalese is an Indo-Aryan language. It is the official language and ''de facto'' lingua franca of Nepal and is also spoken in India, Bhutan and Myanmar. Nepali has official status in the Indian state of Sikkim and in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. Nepali developed in proximity to a number of Indo-Aryan languages, most notably the Pahari languages and Magahi, and shows Sanskrit influences. However, owing to Nepal's geographical area, it has also been influenced by Tibeto-Burman languages. Nepali is mainly differentiated from Central Pahari, both in grammar and vocabulary, by Tibeto-Burman idioms owing to close contact with the respective language group. Nepali language shares 40% lexical similarity with the Bengali language. British Resident at Kathmandu Brian Houghton Hodgson has observed that it is, in eight-tenths of its vocables, substantially Hindi.
Historically, the language was first called the Khas language (''Khas kurā''), then Gorkhali or Gurkhali (language of the Gorkha Kingdom) before the term ''Nepali'' was coined. Other names include ''Parbatiya'' ("mountain language", identified with the Parbatiya people of Nepal) and Dzongkha ''Lhotshammikha'' ("Southern Language", spoken by the Lhotshampas of Bhutan). It is also known as Khe language among the Newar people and Tapare language among Sherpa people.
==Literature==
(詳細はAdhyatma Ramayana; Sundarananda Bara (1833); Birsikka, an anonymous collection of folk tales; and a version of the South Asian epic ''Ramayana'' by Bhanubhakta Acharya (d. 1868). The contribution of trio-laureates Lekhnath Poudyal, Laxmi Prasad Devkota, and Balkrishna Sama took Nepali to the level of other world languages. The contribution of expatriate writers outside Nepal, especially in Darjeeling and Varanasi in India, is also notable.
In the past decade, there have been many contributions to Nepali literature from the Nepali diaspora in Asia, Europe, and America.
