The vocabulary to know for a trip to Nepal

Nepali is the official language and is spoken by the entire population.

Try to learn and remember greetings and learn to count. The Nepalese will be touched and delighted to see you make such an effort.

Your relations with the population will be all the more sincere.

Start without fear, nobody will hold you rigor of your faults or your approximate pronunciation.

There are as many languages ​​spoken in Nepal as there are ethnic groups.

So you do not speak Nepali but Newari, Tibetan, Bhojpuri or Maithili.

Except in some very remote villages, everyone speaks English in Nepal.

Those who are in close contact with tourists speak for themselves very good English.
