Introduction to the Nepali Language

This Open Educational Resource (OER) is designed to be a self-paced, self-study course undertaken by the learner. The site will not be actively monitored and no assignments will be graded. If you notice that any links have stopped working or any other problems with the site, please contact the UBC Himalaya Program: himalaya.arts@ubc.ca

To continue your Nepali language and cultural learning, please visit the Himalaya Program’s Language Learning website (https://himalaya.arts.ubc.ca/language-learning/) to learn about the course offered during the summer semester.

The development of the Nepali and Tibetan Open Educational Resources was made possible through funding from the Institute of Asian Research (IAR) at UBC’s School of Public Policy & Global Affairs and an UBCV OER Rapid Innovation Grant. The UBC Himalaya Program is grateful for additional support from the Centre for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL), Go Global, the Teaching and Learning Engagement Fund (TLEF), and the Department of Asian Studies. Special thanks to Graduate Assistant Patrick Dowd and Undergraduate Work Learn Assistants James Binks and Belinda Suen for their support of this project.

We also thank our community partners at the Nepal Cultural Society of British Columbia, the Nepali Canadian Women’s Society of British Columbia, Hindu Buddhist Foundation of Canada, and Thrangu Monastery for their ongoing support.

The land it is situated on has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam people, who for millennia have passed on in their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site.
