Introducing Nepal Bhasa Bites

Hello everyone,

I am starting a series of posts on learning Nepal Bhasa called Nepal Bhasa Bites.

Nepal Bhasa, also known as Newari, is the language of the Newar people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. The language has a rich history and deep cultural significance, reflecting the heritage and identity of the Newar community.

I cherished learning this language from my grandmother during my childhood. However, after moving to Australia, my proficiency in Nepal Bhasa has waned over the years due to a lack of practice. I’ve decided to compile some Nepal Bhasa resources here for anyone interested.

If you spot any mistakes, please don’t hesitate to correct me. I greatly value your feedback and suggestions.

Please check all Nepal Bhasa posts here.

  1. I shall look forward to this! I recall you often giving a smattering of Nepalese in your former posts of long ago and I noted then how similar most of the words were to Bengali, which I speak! I suspect others are similar to Hindi too (which I’m not so good at!) and the basis is probably rooted in Sanskrit. I know nothing of Nepalese script however – I would love to learn it. Will you cover reading it too?

    • Yes, I am including videos to help with the pronunciation as well. Thank you for being interested; I am trying to improve what I did before. Please visit the latest post and provide feedback.
