Nepali: A Beginner's Primer Conversation and Grammar
Written by Super User
Nepali is an Indo-Aryan language with around 17 million speakers in Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and India. Nepali was originally known as Khas Kurā and was the language of the Khasa kingdom, which ruled over the foothills of what is now Nepal during the 13th and 14th centuries. This site contains some resources from Cornell University for learning Nepali, including audio and text of original dialogs written and recorded by Cornell's language instructors, interlinear transcripts and translations, grammatical explanations, a bi-directional glossary with audio pronunciation, and supplementary videos scripted and produced in Nepal.
