Talk:Nepali language

message: Hi everyone, I just thought I'd mention I've recently created an IPA help page (Help:IPA/Nepali) for the Nepali language because there were a few Wikipedia pages with IPA's for the Nepali language and I believed a separate page would be more useful. However, I would request anyone fluent in the language or who is a linguist to please check it and if necessary, correct any mistake present as I don't speak the language myself and had to do a lot of research on the alphabet and phonetic sounds. Thank you. Broman178 (talk) 09:09, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I can tell you which Devanagari character matches which sound in English words, to the best that that can be done. But I can't be much more help than that currently. I might find some time to study the relevant works soon, perhaps, then, I could offer more. However, it looks like IPA/Sanskrit already does a pretty fine job (in offering what I could offer). Nepali is substantially (perhaps completely) identical to Sanskrit, both phonetically and in script. So, IPA/Nepali should be expected to agree with IPA/Sanskrit at least 80% of the time, assuming both pages have some errors. My thanks for your efforts! Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 11:18, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

message: I removed the following from the "Number of speakers" section:
:Since the late 1980s, over 100,000 Lhotshampas have been forced out of Bhutan, accused by the government of being illegal immigrants. A large portion of them were expelled in an ethnic cleansing, and are now being resettled to various first world countries from their refuge in eastern Nepal.
The information is not relevant to a section about numbers of speakers, but may be relevant elsewhere in the article, so I'm leaving it here. --Atkinson (talk) 18:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Until 19th century the vernacular language of indigenous Dravidian people of Kerala was Malayanma which was devoid of Nepalese words but had few Sanskrit words. Philipose Rambans Bible was the last Malayanma book printed in 1811 AD. 
After 1815  British missionaries changed policy and started promoting the Grantha Malayalam exclusively used by Nambuthiris and some Nairs, then used by less than 5% of the population. Church Mission Society Kottayam and the British Missionary Benjamin Bailey and German missionary Herman Gundert were instrumental in the promotion of Nepalese colloquial words as Sanskrit. More than 3000 Nepalese words were added to Malayalam, a Dravidian language. 
The place origin of these words is Ahichatra, capital of ancient from where Kadamba king Mayura Varma brought Aryan Brahmins and Naga warriors to Karnataka and settled them in Tulunad in 345 AD. Banapperumal a Tulu prince from Alupas Kingdom invaded Kerala in 1120 AD with a 350000 strong Nair army.
After the invasion of Malik Kafur in 1311 AD all the Tamil Kingdoms cane to an end. The Matriarchal kingdoms which followed after 1340 AD had  this Tulu-Nepalese heritage. 
In the 19th century Malayanma was deliberately mixed with these Nepalese words. The resultant language was popularised as Puthu Malayalam.

thread_title:  NEARLY HALF OF MALAYALAM WORDS ARE NEPALESE LOAN WORDS 

message: In the 19th century Christian missionaries such Benjamin Bailey replaced the Dravidian Malayanma language with the Tulu Grantha-Malayalam used by Nambuthiris and some Nairs. Since Nairs and Nambuthiris were migrants from Ahichchhatra their dialect was ancient Nepalese. More than 3000 Nepalese words were added to Malayalam in the 19th century.

thread_title:  NEPALESE LOAN WORDS IN NALAYALAM 

message: I dont think adding Ranjana and Prachalit scipt in The infobox is valid.
Nepali is mostly written in  Devangari. Like in Urdu where roman urdu script's picture isnt added. Besides that Only Newars of Kathamndu 'may' write in Ranjana or prachalit. PN27 (talk) 06:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing prachalit and ranjana script 

message: Hi, it is regarding the pied chart title in this section. It says - "", giving of a vibe that these represent the percentage of Nepali speakers in the whole state, when in actuality they represent state wise percentage based on the total number of Nepali speakers in India. I believe it should be more clear. Hope you are getting what I'm trying to convey here. Regards - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:49, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
