<b>Description:</b>
 
Nepali (नेपाली) is a language in the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family.
It is the lingua-franca of Nepal and is also spoken in Bhutan, parts of India and parts of Myanmar (Burma). It is one of 23 official languages of India incorporated in 8th annex of the Indian Constitution. It has official language status in the formerly independent state of Sikkim and in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. Similarly, it is widely spoken in the state of Uttaranchal, as well as in the state of Assam.
Nepali goes by various names. It was also called Gorkhali or Gurkhali (i.e., the language from Gorkha, which later gave its name to the famous Gurkhas). Other names for the language include Parbatiya ("mountain language", identified with the Parbatiya people of Nepal) and Lhotshammikha (the "southern language" of the Lhotshampa people of Bhutan).
Historically, the language was first called Khaskura (literally, "speech of the Khas," a people who were peasants in the Karnali-Bheri basin of far western Nepal since prehistoric times). Khaskura exists in opposition to Khamkura, a group of Tibeto-Burman dialects spoken by Kham peoples in the highlands separating the [Karnali-Bheri basin<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=63366 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
