Nepali is an Indo-Aryan language of the sub-branch of Eastern Pahari. It is the official language of Nepal and one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. Also known by the endonym Khas kura (Devanagari: खस कुरा), the language is also called Nepalese, Gorkhali or Parbatiya in some contexts. It is spoken mainly in Nepal & by about a quarter of the population in Bhutan.

In India, Nepali has official status in the state of Sikkim and in the Darjeeling District and Kalimpong district of West Bengal. It has a significant number of speakers in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram and Uttarakhand.

It is also spoken in Myanmar and by the Nepali diaspora worldwide.

Nepali developed in proximity to a number of Indo-Aryan languages, most notably the other Pahari languages and Maithili and shows Sanskrit influence.

However, owing to Nepal's location, it has also been influenced by Tibeto-Burman languages.
