Everytime I come across some article about Nepal that says ," there are more than 40 languages spoken in Nepal", I get bothered for not getting the exact numbers.It would do some justice to all the languages in practice in Nepal if we could put a number on it. How many spoken languages are there " EXACTLY"? How many of them have their own scripts? Does the Home ministry or any other ministry for that matter maintains any record on it? Here are a few I can think of; 1. Khas Bhasa, widely known as Nepali Bhasa in practice--script-- Devanagiri 2. Newari bhasa..script--ranjana script 3. Tamang bhasa..script-?? 4. Gurung bhasa..script--?? 5. Maithali bhasa..script?? 6. Sherpa bhasa..script?? 7. Manange bhasa..script?? 8. Tharu bhasa..script?? 9. Rai bhasa..script?? 10. Limbu bhasa..script..?? 11. Cheppang bhasa?..script.?? 12. Hindi bhasa..script..devanagiri 13. Tibetan bhasa.script-u-chen & gyuk yig 14. Magar bhasa..script.?? Keep adding on and remember BullShit is not a language..
