\nNepali¹,the official language of the Kingdom of Nepal,is widely spokenthroughout the Eastern Himalayas,where it functions as one of the majorvehicles of communication.Nepali has also been adopted by peoples of theHimalayan region who belong to different linguistic groups,and is now under-stood throughout the whole of Nepal,the Darjeeling region of West Bengal,Sikkim,Bhutan and parts of Tibet,where it has functioned as a language oftrade and commerce for well over two centuries.  \nLike most of the languages of the northern subcontinent,Nepali belongs tothe Indo-Aryan family,being ultimately derived from Sanskrit,the classicallanguage of India.The Indo-Aryan languages are historically related to manyof the languages of Europe,including English,though atfirst sight the relation-ship may appear to be remote.Linguistically,Nepali is most closely related toHindi,with which it shares a large proportion of its technical vocabulary,and ascript,which differs from that of Hindi in only a few minor details.The twolanguages are in fact so close toeach other(Italian and Spanish would be a fairEuropean parallel)that early Western grammarians
