History of Nepali
Nepali (originally Gorkhali) spread from the Gorkha kingdom during Nepal's unification in the 18th century. It became the national language over diverse local languages. Nepali is also spoken in Bhutan, Myanmar, and Indian states of Sikkim and Darjeeling. The language uses honorifics extensively reflecting Nepal's hierarchical society.
Is Nepali Hard to Learn?
Nepali uses Devanagari script like Hindi, making it accessible for Hindi learners. Grammar is similar to Hindi but with distinct vocabulary and honorific systems. Nepali verb endings differ and the language has its own idiomatic expressions.
