Nepali is an Indo-Aryan language, and thus part of a linguistic grouping which

includes
other South Asian languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and Gujarati. Modern
Indo-Aryan
languages are related to Sanskrit, much as modern European languages are related to
Latin.
Nepali is written in the Devangar (or Nagari) script, which is also used for
Hindi,
Marathi
Sanskrit.
Nepaliand
Devangar has 12 vowels and 36 consonants. The script is
essentially
phonetic,
meaning that the pronunciation closely resembles the written form. The script is
written from left
to right, with a top line indicating the word
boundaries.

Introduction to the First Edition
The Nepali language program at Cornell faces several challenges that are likely to
characterize
similar programs elsewhere. The number of students taking Nepali changes every year,
each
student has a different level of ability and there is a scarcity of published Nepali
texts
and
dictionaries.
Most importantly, most Nepali language students have specific but
widely
diverse
fields of interest. Some students come from the Peace Corps, some come after study or
travel
abroad, and increasingly some come from Nepalese-American families. This means that
they
have very different language backgrounds and very different reasons for wanting to
learnwant
Nepali.
Some
to work in development on irrigation or healthcare; others want to do PhD
research
questionson
of religious change or womens issues; others simply want to be able to
talk to older
members of their families.
It has been our goal at Cornell to teach not only basic skills in spoken and written
Nepali
but
to try to make our students linguistically competent in their chosen fields of
specialization
well. Because ofasthe difficulties in locating texts and reference books to suit all
their
needs,varying
we have tried to create new kinds of instructional materials for Nepali which
could:
(a) teach increasingly complex grammatical structures
(b) tailor additional vocabulary and dialogues to individual students professional
directions
(c) wherever possible utilize material from Nepalese school books, folk stories,
literature, songs, proverbs, Radio Nepal/Nepal TV, taped conversations, or other
sources not created solely for the classroom
We began the Nepali Computer Project in 1988 with support between 1988 and 1992
from the Northeast Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning, Cornell South Asia
Program, and the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics. Our objective has
been
to an integrated system to provide Nepali language instructors with flexible

Acknowledgements to the First Edition
The Nepali Computer Project at Cornell owes thanks to many people. First, of course,
is the South Asia Program which is making this publication possible and which has

the
Nepali
offerings at Cornell since 1984. We would like to thank the Northeast
Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning for their financial support of this
project.
Theof Modern Languages and Linguistics at Cornell, too, provided invaluable

support
both in the basic support of the Nepali language program and in the person of Ann
VanDeMark,
without whose administrative savvy any of this work would have been unthinkable.
Professor

But above all, we are indebted to all the students through the years of Nepali
teaching
at Cornell
who have read,
revised, and added to this work. And of those students we are
especially gratefulfor the special assistance of Christopher Scott and Bhushan
Tuladar.
We are glad to be able to offer this printed version of our Nepali language
materials.
However,
please bear in mind that this is a first edition and may contain spelling or
other
errors.
We
would
deeply appreciate feedback both on technical and methodological presentation
so that
we can make the second edition better.

Technical Notes
Work on the first edition of this glossary started in 1988 using an early Apple
Macintosh
computer, a database package called FileMaker+ and the Knchi NR Devanagari font. The
glossary was subsequently published in 1992.
The second edition was prepared in May 2004 by Shambhu Oja and Mark Turin, using the
Nepali
Unicode environment devised by the Madan Puraskr Pustaklaya library in Kathmandu,
Nepal.
The original glossary was retyped as a tabulated Microsoft Word document, checked and
then
sorted according to the Nepali and English alphabetical orders. We have used a
Unicode
Nepali
font
called
Kalimati, which is freely downloadable from the Madan Puraskr
Pustaklaya
website
along with the
keyboard layout <www.mpp.org.np>. The updated version of this
bilingual
glossary is currently being formatted as a searchable database for online
delivery.
