What language do people in Nepal speak?

The language spoken in Nepal is Nepali.

Nepali is an Indo-European language and is spoken in some parts of Nepal, Bhutan and India. It is the official language of Nepal. About half of Nepalis use Nepali as their mother tongue, and the rest use it as a second language.

Nepali is the easternmost Pahari language. It is a group of languages ??spoken in low altitude areas of the Himalayas. Nepali language has very close ties with some Tibeto-Burman language groups during its development.

The most notable is the Newar language, which shows Tibeto-Burman influence. Nepali is very similar to Hindi, but slightly more conservative. It has fewer loanwords from Persian and English than Hindi, and more words are derived from Sanskrit.

Extended information:

The pronunciation of Nepali still retains some important features of ancient Indian languages; for example, it still has retroflex uh (camel, in Bengali) and voiced The aspirated sound is bhat (rice is also called bhat in Bengali and Gujarati, but is called bat in Kashmiri).

Since more than half of the population in Nepal speaks Tibeto-Burman language, Nepali language is deeply influenced by Tibeto-Burman language, especially in terms of vocabulary. The Nepali language is written in Devanagari script.

In China, the Communication University of China, the PLA Foreign Studies University and the Beijing Foreign Studies University are the only three institutions in China that teach Nepali, and China Radio International also broadcasts in Nepali. Most people do not learn Nepali language, so there are fewer schools open. Mainly Tibetans learn more.
