Nepali...
"Nepali is spoken by the Gurkhas, a name
loosely applied to all
native Nepalese of eastern Nepal.
However, the term ‘Nepali’
is misleadingly inclusive, for Nepali is only one of the languages
of Nepal; Khas, as the people call themselves, or Eastern
Pahari,
are more accurate names. Mountainous Nepal has a population
of about 10 million, including speakers of both Tibeto-Burman
(Sharpa, Gurung, Murmi, Sunwar, Newari,
or Pahri, etc.)
and Indo-Aryan (Palpa, Nepali, etc.)
tongues. The more than 20
languages of Nepal are not mutually intelligible. A distinctive
script, thought to be related to Bengali writing, was in use in
Nepal as early as the 12th century. Devanagari character is now
employed."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

"The only version of the Scriptures
that had, until very recently, been attempted in this dialect,
was commenced at Serampore in 1812; and an edition, consisting of 1000 copies
of the New Testa-
ment, was issued in 1821. A few copies were placed, soon after
publication, in the hands of the
Goorkhas, but as there are no mies. stationed in Nepaul, opportunities for
general distribution
of this Testament in that country were not at that time found. Lately,
however, a new translation
of portions of the New Testament into the Nepalese dialect has been made by
the Rev. W. Start, and
an edition of 1000 copies of the Gospel of St. Luke, from this version, was
printed by the Calcutta
Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1850. An edition
of 1500 copies of the Acts,
also from Mr. Start's version, has since issued from the press. Many
circumstances combine to render
it highly probable that opportunities for the distribution of these versions
may rapidly increase."--The Bible of Every Land. (1860, Second Edition)
