Hi All, What are different words for mother in different languages spoken in Nepal? I want to write an essay on it. For example, sanskrit - mata nepali - aama Rai - Limbu - Tharu - maithili - and more. Thanks for your help!

 I call my mother - Mai    Contemporary Nepal Why have people forgot   "mummy"  ... its the most used word for mother in Nepal..... it may have now been included in "brihat nepali sabdhakosh" as "aagantuk sabdha". Aama is now a days used to call Grand mother.
