Sample of Nepalese
Nepali was first written during the 12th century AD using the Devanāgarī alphabet, which developed from the Brahmi script in the 11th century AD. Nepali is closely related to the Hindi languages and is sometimes considered mutually intelligible to some extent, yet is more conservative, with more Sanskritic derivations and fewer Persian or English loan words than Hindi or Urdu.
Nepali developed a significant literature over a period of one hundred years in the 19th century, instigated by the author and poet Adhyatma Ramayana. Almost one-third of the population of Nepal speak Nepali as a mother tongue.
