What I meant as a national language is the language for one person from one region of the country to communicate with another. When there is ethnic autonomy then they will decide the first and second language. First language being their mother tongue of course and the other being hindi, english, nepali, etc... What I am saying is that the second language should be same for every region of the country so we will not have any problem related to communicating with one another no matter where in the country we go. Now since Nepali has been forced or whatever anyone wants to call it, on ethnic groups for so long, I would think people would want another language and the only other language that would be beneficial for anyone is English since its universal, Hindi since people go for employment to India and everyone know how to speak it. Any other language would be useless since it really has no impact on how we live. KNT dont worry about Nepali language being a parasite anymore because all bad things come to an end. Thats whats happening in Nepal. All the imposition to everyone will end. I agree with anyone that says Nepali should not be a language everyone because thats how hatred with different ethnic group would start again. My mother tongue is Nepali and I would definately not want anyone to tell me that forget my language and use someone elses.
