  • Chapter 2 Language Use in Nepal
    CHAPTER 2 LANGUAGE USE IN NEPAL Yogendra P. Yadava* Abstract This chapter aims to analyse the use of languages as mother tongues and second lan- guages in Nepal on the basis of data from the 2011 census, using tables, maps, and figures and providing explanations for certain facts following sociolinguistic insights. The findings of this chapter are presented in five sections. Section 1 shows the impor- tance of language enumeration in censuses and also Nepal’s linguistic diversity due to historical and typological reasons. Section 2 shows that the number of mother tongues have increased considerably from 92 (Census 2001) to 123 in the census of 2011 due to democratic movements and ensuing linguistic awareness among Nepalese people since 1990. These mother tongues (except Kusunda) belong to four language families: Indo- European, Sino-Tibetan, Austro-Asiatic and Dravidian, while Kusunda is a language isolate. They have been categorised into two main groups: major and minor. The major group consists of 19 mother tongues spoken by almost 96 % of the total population, while the minor group is made up of the remaining 104 plus languages spoken by about 4% of Nepal’s total population. Nepali, highly concentrated in the Hills, but unevenly distributed in other parts of the country, accounts for the largest number of speakers (44.64%). Several cross-border, foreign and recently migrated languages have also been reported in Nepal. Section 3 briefly deals with the factors (such as sex, rural/ urban areas, ethnicity, age, literacy etc.) that interact with language. Section 4 shows that according to the census of 2011, the majority of Nepal’s population (59%) speak only one language while the remaining 41% speak at least a second language.

    JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Riveting Nepal: A Cultural Flash! By Ms. Mahua Sen [email protected] Abstract “A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal, it was easier to take life day by day.” -Jane Wilson-Howarth, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows: A Journey of Love and Loss in the Himalayas. We do sniff the essence of Nepal in these lines! Squeezed in between China and India, Nepal is one of the most fascinating places to visit on earth. Home to the awe-inspiring Mt. Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, this exquisite country stretches diverse landscapes from the Himalayan Mountains in the North to the flat expansive plains in the south. The birth of the nation is dated to Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of the Kathmandu Valley kingdoms in 1768. Deep gorges, sky-scraping mountains, exuberant culture and charismatic people – Nepal is the ideal destination not only for adventurers but also for people seeking a peaceful sojourn in the lap of serenity. Keywords Nepal, culture, festival, Hindu, Buddhism 1 JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Festival Flavors Customs and culture vary from one part of Nepal to another. The capital city Kathmandu is drenched in a rich drapery of cultures, a unique silhouette to form a national identity. Nepali culture portrays an amalgamation of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences, the result of a long history of migration, conquest, and trade.

  • Theatre and Life Heatre at the Intersection of Art, Politics and International Development
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-41611-5 — Rehearsing for Life Monica Mottin Excerpt More Information 1 Theatre and Life heatre at the intersection of art, politics and international development his book is about social and political theatre in Nepal. In particular, it Texamines how everyday social problems and macro-political conlicts are both represented and challenged through drama-based performances. How are theatre and social reality (dis)connected? How can relexivity and ambiguity allow for the aesthetic space to become a transformative place? What diferentiates street theatre performed in planned development from street theatre performed within social and political movements? How can performance and dramatic action move communities towards social action? To answer these questions I delve into both aesthetic and social performance contexts of three types of theatre and performance for social change available to Nepali audiences in the mid-2000s: kachahari natak (forum theatre/street theatre), loktantrik natak (theatre for democracy) and Maoist political cultural programmes that may include krantikari natak (revolutionary theatre). In other words, the political theatre for democracy performed by Aarohan heatre Group, development forum theatre performed by both Aarohan heatre in Kathmandu and by the Kamlari Natak Samuha, a haru activist group, in the rural areas of western Nepal, the political performance of the Maoist cultural groups, all aim to bring about social change, but how are they similar and how do they difer? Aarohan heatre Group, a Kathmandu-based professional company and Gurukul, the theatre school associated with the group, is at the core of this ethnography. It is the main ield site from which I tried to understand the world of theatre for social change in Nepal.

  • Neupane 1 Chapter I Locating Setting and Its Role in Drama a Setting Is
    Neupane 1 Chapter I Locating Setting and its Role in Drama A setting is just a beautiful thing, a collection of beautiful things. It is a presence, a mood, a warm wind fanning the drama to flame. It echoes, it enhances, it animates. It is an expectancy, a foreboding, a tension. It says nothing, but it gives everything. (Jones 26) An American scenic, lighting and costume designer, Robert Edmond Jones in his book The Dramatic Imagination (1941) exposes the basic sense of setting in drama. In another context, Jones states, "A stage setting has no independent life of its own. Its emphasis is directed toward the performance. In the absence of the actor it does not exist. Strange as it may seem, the simple and fundamental principle of stage design still seems to be widely misunderstood. " (Qtd. in Cohen, 122). The visions of setting and its significance are not defined clearly. On the one hand, Jones explains setting as an element that describes every emotion of the performance. On the other hand, he describes setting has no independent existence in absence of the performance and actor. Therefore, there is no clear perception on the importance of setting in drama. Since the setting is the crucial part of any text, it cannot be omitted or analyzed separately from the meaning. Kari K Pitkanen in The Spatio-Temporal Setting in Written Narrative Fiction brings the references of various researchers to introduce setting. He presents setting as such: For several researchers including e.g. Labov & Waletsky (1967), Rumelhart (1975: 213) and Van Dijk (1980), a setting is a text-initial, structural macro- unit that describes the starting point and surroundings for a story by providing the main character, the spatio-temporal location and other necessary information.

It has been accepted for inclusion in HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@Macalester College. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Introduced and Translated by Theodore Riccardi, lr. Modern Nepali literature has received very little attention from scholars in the West. There have been no studies, and only a few translations. One thinks immediately of Sandra Zeidenstein's translation of Parijat's Sirishko Phul, entitled Blue Mimosa, Greta Rana's White Tiger, a translation of Diamond Shamsher's Seto Bagh, and David Rubin's admirable translations of the poetry of Laksmi Prasad Devkota, entitled Nepali Visions, Nepali Dreams. Beyond these, there is very little. Why this should be so is not very clear, particularly when one thinks of how the study of Nepal has grown in Europe and America over the last thirty years. Part of the explanation I think lies in the general tendency of some literary scholars to revel in the past and the traditional only, to value the classical and the medieval text and to denigrate the modern as somehow less worthy of attention.

  • Comparative Constructions in Suansu and the Languages of Northeastern India
    Linguistic Typology at the Crossroads 1-1 (2021): 94-123 Comparative constructions in Suansu and the languages of northeastern India JESSICA K. IVANI1 1UNIVERSITY OF ZÜRICH Submitted: 16/11/2020 Revised version: 05/05/2021 Accepted: 10/05/2021 Published: 31/08/2021 Abstract This paper provides a first description of comparative constructions in Suansu, an unreported Tibeto-Burman language spoken in northeastern India, and frames the characteristics of Suansu comparative constructions from a typological perspective (following Stassen’s 1985 classification). To this purpose, comparative constructions from a sample of 28 Tibeto- Burman languages of the area are collected in an ad-hoc designed database and typologically discussed. Results reveal the presence of two main types that cluster geographically in the region, as well as high internal variation with respect to the subtypes. Based on the classification, Suansu is assigned to the Exceed comparative type, the only representative of this type in the sample. Keywords: Suansu; Tibeto-Burman; typology; comparative constructions; language documentation. 1. Introduction Comparison can be defined as a “mental act where two elements occupy a symmetric or asymmetric position on a specific property predicative scale” (Treis 2018: I): this mental act is linguistically encoded by comparison constructions. Several types of comparison structures have been distinguished in the literature. Based on the subdivision proposed by Fuchs (2014) and implemented in Treis (2018), this study focusses on comparison of inequality, and specifically on comparison of relative superiority. The default template for constructions of relative superiority (hence, 94 Ivani Comparative constructions in Suansu comparative constructions) is exemplified by structures such as X is bigger than Y or X is more intelligent than Y.
