Are we in the same RANA Era?? Think about it??
Nepal Bhasa was the national language of medieval Nepal. After Shah dynasty ascended to Nepalese throne, Khas language was used along with Nepal Bhasa. During this era, Khas language was renamed "Nepali" and Nepal Bhasa was renamed "Newari".
During Rana regime, in 1905, a law was formulated which allowed only Khas language to be the official language of Nepal and banned the official use of any other languages.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepal_Bhasa_movement
