Hat's off to your commendable knowledge on Khas

You know lot of facts about the khaskura. I hope you also know how original khas kura (language jumli / sinjali speak) sounds. It is way different than present day Nepali language. In fact, Nepali language is a medley of many ethnic Nepali languages. You can find countless of words imported from Newari, magar, gurung, rai, limbu and even maithili language. It flourished when parbate/ gorkhali people came in contact of ethnic people.Look at the widespread populartiy of kauda, ghatu, maruni, sakewa etc. Would they be so popular if confined in mother language only. I am a chhetri and a die hard fan of Magar's Kauda songs and sunuwar's Maruni songs. So, Nepali language, though originated from khaskura, is a common and fortified equally by all of ethinic people and their language. I do not think khas people imposed their language on any other group. Bahun, a class of khas community, used to use sanskrit language regarding DEV-VANI among themselves. Since Bahuns were above the law by religious belief nobody imposed  KACHHI BAAT (Khaskura) to them. What made them use Nepali language? It's easyness and commonness helped in its growth.

Let me ask you a question. Almost everyone in Nepal knows Hindi language. Has anybody imposed it on us? No, it's us who learn it from its widespread accesibility through media, entertainment and literature. To add, in a group of people comprising of a Nepali, a chinese, Indian, Thai, Korean, cameronian, and a turkish nationals. Which language you use? Uninamously, a language that is more or less known to all. May be English.

I do not agree with your view, however I really appreciate your information on Khas and origin/developement of Nepali language.
