Which one is the correct? Nepalese or Nepalis. I have noticed most of the online news use Nepalis for people of Nepal. I am confused,is it alright to use Nepalis instead of Nepalese. How do you describe yourself? I am from Nepal so we are Nepalese or Nepalis. I think like Japanese, Chinese, we are also Nepalese too. But if Nepalis is new version of Nepalese then its all good to roll. There are various ways and names we people from Nepal are known as.Just want to know from others.
