Since Nepal is secular state and no one religion, culture and language can be opposed what should the National language be. There would be ethnic autonomy in which they will speak their own language but what about associating with other people from another region. We need one language so that we can all talk to each other on. I personally proposed for ENGLISH. I want to hear everyones serious opinion on this.

Yesterday, the senate approved an amendment that makes English the national language of America. That is just malarkey and stems from xenophobia. Nepal's mainstream language is Nepali. America's mainstream language is English. If you don't want to speak Nepali in case of the former, or English, in case of the latter, then have it your way. Why does it bother you so much? Give people the choice to do what they want to do. It doesn't make any difference whether Nepali is Nepal's national language or not.

is this serious thread or what??? English re U say nepali being imposed. Why now English be imposed.Let everyone speak whatever they want .we are one by one loosing our identity anyways . Nepali be another option with Hindi , English, tharu, newari etc... etc.. OPTIONs are always good after all we are building new nepal and our great leaders are going to guide us in right direction.

Urdu should be our National language. We can communicate with india and pakstan where we can import cow meat

why not make hindi as a national laguage. It is the favourite laguage of girija who probably loves inida more than nepal and he prefer talking in hindi with indian news channel than in english. I heard Prachande speaking in hindi as well in bbc today. so i guess maoist will have no objection.

What I meant as a national language is the language for one person from one region of the country to communicate with another. When there is ethnic autonomy then they will decide the first and second language. First language being their mother tongue of course and the other being hindi, english, nepali, etc... What I am saying is that the second language should be same for every region of the country so we will not have any problem related to communicating with one another no matter where in the country we go. Now since Nepali has been forced or whatever anyone wants to call it, on ethnic groups for so long, I would think people would want another language and the only other language that would be beneficial for anyone is English since its universal, Hindi since people go for employment to India and everyone know how to speak it. Any other language would be useless since it really has no impact on how we live.
KNT dont worry about Nepali language being a parasite anymore because all bad things come to an end. Thats whats happening in Nepal. All the imposition to everyone will end. I agree with anyone that says Nepali should not be a language everyone because thats how hatred with different ethnic group would start again. My mother tongue is Nepali and I would definately not want anyone to tell me that forget my language and use someone elses.

ENGLISH SHOULD BE THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE LIKE IN INDIA.

People in south India do not speak Hindi. Prefer English over Hindi. Why??

I have seen discrimination from Nepali speaking people to others like Nyars, Bhotes and Madises who are not fluent in speaking Nepali. Language discrimination sucks!!!

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE FREEDOM TO SPEAK THEIR OWN MOTHER TONGUE!!!! PERIOD!!

Even in america English is not a 100% required language, you can always get translation in Spanish and other languages.

I AGREE: NEPALI language AND HINDUISM STATE ENFORCED THINGS. There should be FREEDOM to carry on with your own RELIGION and LANGUAGE. I am not in favor of conversion also but you should have choice LIKE IN AMERICA --

IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THE NEPALI AND HISTORY COURSEBOOK IN NEPAL WHICH SAYS BULLSHIT GLORIFICATION OF PRITHVI NARAYAN SHAH AND OTHER SHAHS AND ALSO FREAKIN
NEPALI NATIONAL LANGUAGE***** WHO MADE THIS NATIONAL LANGUAGE
FREAKIN SHAH KINGS*********** SO FIGURE OUT YOURSELF

IT IS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND******************************************
**************************************************************
STOP HATING NEPALI CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT HINDUS AND WHO DOES NOT SPEAK NEPALI********************************************************

I would like to hear more opinions or support for English as a national language. If we have different language for different region of the country, if one needs to communicate with another region then english should be the medium. Plus if Nepal tries to develop all language at once then it will take Nepal another 300 years to develop. Each ethnic group should bear the responsibility of promoting and advancing their mother tongue.
