Khas language alone not Nepali – Memorandum to Nepal’s premier against the unfair language policy

Mar. 23, 2009

A delegation of Nepal’s native language advocacy group told Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” that referring to KHAS language alone as NEPALI was not fair. The delegation led by Prof. Prem Shanti Tuladhar, the head of Nepal Bhasa Dept of Tribhuwan University, told so in a 17 point demand memorandum handed over to the prime minister at a meeting held on 13th this month at his official Baluwatar residence in Kathmandu against this unfair practice being continued by the government.

Prof. Premshanti Tuladhar reading out the memorandum

While the delegation comprised of Human Right activist leader Padma Ratna Tuladhar and many activists from several communities and organizations, the demands included 1. Federal system must be based on language as well; 2. Mother languages of Nepalese people must be made compulsory in schools and colleges; 3. Referring to KHAS language alone as NEPALI is not fair; 4. Need of establishing multi language universities among other. Acknowledging the memorandum, the Prime Minister was said to have taken the demands positively and added that after Maoists came into power, Gorkhapatra introduced pages in various languages of Nepal.

Nepal Script Unicode Project - Update

Update Announcement
As we have announced Universal Encoding of Nepal scripts last year, we are pleased to inform you that finally, necessary initiatives have been taken to encode Prachalit and Ranjana while two Unicode fonts are being nearly completed. The Newah is happy to announce that it will be launching its website and release the fonts in October this year in conjunction to the New Year day of the Nepal Samvat 1130. A guide to Nepal script and dictionary is being compiled, which is also to be distributed on the same day free of charge to donors and supporters and participants to the opening ceremony. Further detail of the schedule and inquiry for contribution are available on request at The Newah: thenewah@gmail.com
