Newar people
The Khas people originally referred to their language as "Khas kurā" ("Khas speech"), which was also known as "Parbatiya" (or "Parbattia" or "Paharia", meaning language of the hill country). The Newar people used the term "Gorkhali" as a name for this language, as they identified it with the Gorkhali conquerors. The Gorkhalis themselves started using this term to refer to their language at a later stage. The census of India prior to independence used the term "Naipali" at least from 1901 to 1951, the 1961 census replacing it with "Nepali".
