Present language called as nepali is actually khas language , the mother tongue of khas people (bahun chhetri) originated in sinja , karnali
Till rana period this language was called gorkha bhasa
Pm chandra shamsher established gorkha bhasa prakashini samiti, at present it's known as sajha publication
संस्कृत भाषा धनी भयो त्यसैले जनतामा जान नदिने नीति लियो राज्यले। जनजाति,दलित,महिलालाई मात्रै होईन जनै लगाउने तागाधारीमाथि समेत पढ्न त के सुन्नमात्रै पनि प्रतिबन्धित गरे,उपाध्यायले बाहेक अरुले नहुने गरे, क-कसको मिलेमतो भयो होला त्यसबेला? प्रचार गर्नु स्कुल,कलेज खोलेर घरघरमा साहित्य र भाषाको पहुँच पुर्याउन त कता हो कता उल्टै प्रतिबन्ध लगाउने कति बैमान होलान् त हाम्रा पुर्वजहरु?
You talked about how an infant can learn and grasp a certain language if it is spoken around him/her during his/her childhood and can understand it easily without someone actually teaching him/her. However, what is the explanation behind the infant understanding a language but not speaking it?
For example, someone growing up in a Tamang family hears people speaking Tamang language throughout his childhood. He understands it. But he is not able to speak the language as he grows up.
आहा!
He is man of letters. His ideas are worth getting through.
Please invite the Dr Baldev Gaule for Nepali language experts

1:28:00 142 languages acc. to 2078 census
You are right. But I was interested particularly in the Nepalese languages, not all the languages enumerated in the census which, you know, also includes foreign languages. By foreign languages, I mean those languages which are not considered native.

Ram sir is an Ocean of Knowledge ❣

OnE thing is rightly said here is Sankrit Grammer is same as it was written by Panini first time because it was never used informal way that means it was Never used by any community. Another thing, this gentle man said wrongly is Sanskrit is not as old as he said because Sankrit is written in Devnagari which was developed around 9-11 century. Before that, it was hybrid Sanskrit which mix with Pali Pakrit language. It is so clear that Sankrit is developed from Pali Prakrit language. For instance, vikku to vichchhu, pasen to Prasen, khatiya to chhetriya etc.
@@sparsaofficial7631 Right. But we are told thst Sankrit language is so so old is not true. Claims can not be true. Asok piller inscriptions sre in Pali Prakrit language. Many Pali Prakrit ords are Saskritized like Dhamma to Dharma, Budha to Buddha and Sutta to Sutra.
Language and script are two different things. A language can be written in various scripts. Yes, devnagari has become defacto method of writing sanskrit in medival time but brahmi was used to write sanskrit before.
@@milan9357 well, Dhamma alphabet was renamed to Brahmi was developed to write Pali Prakrit. It was not useful to write sanskrit fully in Dhamma script. That's why we found rarely. People claims stone inscription in Sanskrit turn out be in Pali Prakrit. Well, we humane have spoken one language since humane history
@NiranjanMalakar in the indian subcontinent, writing was done in palm leaves. And up to what date a language was written from and from when was language spoken. How do we know?
@@milan9357 well, we take historical records, archeological artifacts and other findings as basis to make any decision. Not basis on any body's claims.

Oh! Yes, thank you. I'd sensed while talking some mistake - a tongue slip, if I may say - in pronunciation had occurred. But it passed. I replayed it now and found it a ridiculous mistake - not once, but twice. Thanks once again.

@@N3S497 and C also 😅😂😂
Sanskrit university must be renamed to Ancient Language University where any body can go and study ancient Nepalese and religious languages like Pali Prakrit , Sanskrit, Latin, Arabic etc. This is DISCRIMINATORY and NOT FAIR to have one university for one ancient language but other ancient languages have none. This is still Apartheid system even in modern time with new constitution.
Brother we have to understand that majority of ancient texts are written in Sanskrit today not Pali prakrit.Many texts which were written in Pali language had translated t sanskrit.so it is more logi
It is more logical to learn Sanskrit and Pali and Sanskrit both are indo Aryan language so majority of words are similar but yeah Buddhist monstries should allow to teach Pali language
@@dipakmandal2248 Buddhist monastaries already do teach Pali languages but we have one university that dedicates o ly to Sankrit language funded by the state. This is not justified. This must be for other ancient languages too.
@@NiranjanMalakar At least somewhere Pali language is taught.We Maithils don't have a single place dedicated for maithili language and Mithalakshar script.Even many of us don't even know about our Mithalakshar script.I think this is more injustice to us even when our population is about 15% of Nepalese.
@@dipakmandal2248 yeah yeah. I MEAN IS PRESENT SANSKRIT UNIVERSITY MUST BE TRANSFORMED TO THE UNIVERSITY WHERE ALL ANCIENT AND RELIGIOUS LANGUAGES ARE TAUGHT. THIS MUST BE DONE. LIKE PALI, SANSKRIT, ARABIC, LATIN ETC ETC.
One humble suggestion for you, your videos are too long, try making it 1 hour or around it.I think Fairly even 1% of your total viewers don't watch till last.. Nobody is gonna watch this type of long podcast.
We do.
We do bro
Bro shut up and put your phone to charge.
We do , sometimes even 90minute is short for knowledge seeker.
Haha😂😂😂😂 he need to study more brother..fake kura garcha bahun baje
Yo pani dollare rahexa . कसरि एउटै हुन्छ ? फुल र फूल मा , जुन र जून मा बाबु र बाबू
Nonsense talking and nonsense argument. Just shut up.
Dainik jiban ma sarbasadharan haru le chai eutai ucharan garxan bhanne kura garnu vako ho wahale. Tara tyo vandai ma sabdakosh ma pani eutai banaunu parxa jasto chai lagdaina malai chai
@@ashi1279 well, this is problem with secondlanguage speaker. Every language has such complications. That's why Khas Parbate language must be called in its original name. Calling Nepali only to Khas Parbate language is second main DISCRIMINATION in Nepal after caste discrimination. This must be STOPPED.
