plz edit Newari bhasa to Nepal bhasa or Newar bhasa
I want learn newari i feel shame for being newar i don’t know to speak newari
It takes time but I am sure if you are willing to learn, you will :). Good luck..
Hello,
I was going through this and realize this is almost exactly like the vowels and consonants in Nepali language. Are there any differences in pronunciation or is it ditto like in Nepali?
Thank you for the lessons. I have been meaning to learn my own language for a couple of years now and this helps immensely.
Keep up the good work.
I think they are very similar but Newari has strong tha , ta and sha.
Thank you Saurav.
Thanks nelle…
Your language ability is one valuable skill…
