Book Description
Nepali is widely spoken in the Himalayan terrain. Like many other Indo-Aryan languages, Nepali took its birth and grew in the Indian sub-continent long before India and Nepal took their present political shape. The story of Nepali literaturrebegins from the thirteenth century rock inscriptions and has a chequered course. Prose writing in Nepali began earlier than in many other languages of India, and has steadily developed. Other genres appeared gradually and flourished.
