Here are my few points,

1. It is important that each and every tribes accept the fact that Nepali language (khas language as some call it) is the language of the Nation and trashing the National language in the name of preserving and promoting their own regional language should not be welcomed.

2. It is also important that each and every tribes should have full rights to preserve and promote their culture/language without trashing their higer identity, the identity of being a Nepali National.

3. Nepali (Khas language) is not superior than any other language in Nepal it just happens to be our common language. It is equally important as every other spoken dialects in Nepal.

Lets look at India and Hindi language, what percentage of India has Hindi language as their mother tounge? 10%,  20%, 30%???? There are so many other tribal languages which are sustained among themselves with rich culture...Telegu...Tamil...Madrasi, Gujrati, Bengali..urdu...and so on. Do you see indians fussing about Hindi being their national language????

Question for those tribal language advocates....is there a way you can promote/preserve your mother tounge without trashing our National identity????
