This monograph describes the language situation in Nepal in its historical and social perspective as well as language planning and policy implemented by the national government over the last fifty years. Discussion is included on the local languages, multilingualism and lingua franca. Consideration is given to languages in specific domains such as national and private education, the military and the Gurkha regiments, literature, the media, tourism, trade, international affairs and daily life. The relationship between caste, class, ethnic groups and language is also outlined. Case studies are incorporated to illustrate certain language issues. Ecological variables affecting language use and register, language death and language revival are considered. Finally, recommendations are suggested in regard to the future of language planning in Nepal.
