Hi, Nice thread...but it should have been put in a different way without targeting any particular Nepalese community. Well, in almost every language there exist this kind of so called different level...of course it may not be that distinct like we have in Nepal..but in English there is always Queen's language...and there exists still few Brits, Scotts and other people who uses English in a different form for being more polite and respectful..and yeah besides, there is French, Italian , Spanish and other languages which has some respectful way of speaking..though not very difffernt from the casual ones.Even the socialist nordic countries have some variation in their language when they speak to someone with respect.So it is just a twist in the language...and we should be proud that our language has different forms and protocols of speaking...of course some not so good sides are always there. And I find all these levels or so called variation of Nepalese Language very beautiful..and I agree that this kind of languages should stick around the personal homes or certain community.when communicating in public in general a plain simple Nepali shud be spoken...but there is nothing funny about all this...use it properly and u will love it...every word is so beautiful...elegant yet simple.
