Abstract | Though small in size, Nepal is characterized by much linguistic diversity. • The population census 2011 has identified 123 languages in use among the 125 caste and ethnic groups although Ethnologue (2012) lists 124 living languages spoken in Nepal. • These languages belong to the four language families, viz. Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Austro-Asiatic, and Dravidian and there is one language isolate, viz. Kusunda. |
