Mr. Mazeman,
Obviously has a very good point about distinctness of the word, NEPALI and NEPALESE. I had read an article (probably in Nepali Times, sorry forgot the writer's name) which mentioned about the confusion of these two words, which are sometimes used interchangeably in English. Many historians, prolific writers in the issue of NEPAL have either used Nepali or Nepalese to mean a group, origin or a particular citizenship.
However, i believe there hasn't yet been any distinction made in dictionaries that we give a distinct meaning to each of these words. But its good that Mr Mazeman brought this issue into light to delve upon.
Good discussion though.
