A Case Study from Nepal
Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 13 (July 2017) Documenting Variation in Endangered Languages ed. by Kristine A. Hildebrandt, Carmen Jany, and Wilson Silva, pp. 152-179 http://nlfrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 8 http://handle.net/24753 Areal Analysis of Language Attitudes and Practices: A Case Study from Nepal Kristine A. Hildebrandt and Shunfu Hu Southern Illinois University Edwardsville This paper has two aims. One aim is to consider non-structural (language attitude and use) variables as valid in the field of dialect and linguistic geography in an inner Himalayan valley of Nepal, where four languages have traditionally co- existed asymmetrically and which demonstrate different degrees of vitality vs. endangerment. The other aim is an application of modified spatiality as it aligns with speaker attitudes and practices amidst recent and ongoing socio-economic and population changes. We demonstrate that variation in self-reported attitudes and practices across languages in this region can be explained as much with adjusted spatial factors (labeled ‘social space’) as with traditional social factors (e.g. gender, age, formal education, occupation, etc.). As such, our study contributes to a dis- course on the role and potential of spatiality in sociolinguistic analyses of smaller language communities. 1. INTRODUCTION. In a recent paper on sampling in dialectology research, Buchstaller and Alvanides lament that until recently, “The majority of sociolinguistic work [could] be described as spatially naïve, using geographical space merely as a canvas…on to which the results of linguistic analysis [could] be mapped.” (2013: 96). This need for inclusion and testing of different types of spatial factors alongside social ones is increasingly being addressed in regions like the United States and Great Britain.

Annapurna Circuit
ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT COUNTRIES VISITED: NEPAL TRIP TYPE: Trekking TRIP LEADER: Local Leader TRIP GRADE: Strenuous GROUP SIZE: 2 - 10 people TRIP STYLE: Tea House NEXT DEPARTURE: 03 Apr 2022 NAN Based On 0 Reviews 32 Trees Planted for each Booking KG Carbon Footprint This is the classic Annapurna Circuit trek crossing the high pass of Thorong La at 5,416m. On this Annapurna trek we follow the Kali Gandaki valley then ascend to the viewpoint at Poon Hill. Trekking Annapurna Circuit offers a cross section of Nepal Himalaya. The mountain views throughout encompass some of the highest peaks in the world. They include Lamjung, Himalchuli, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Machapuchare. The Annapurna Circuit walk starts several hours driving beyond Besishar town at the village of Jagat. You hike through Gurung villages surrounded by terraced fields in Marsyangdi valley. The trail enters pine forest and higher up into the alpine zone around Annapurna. There has been debate about the recent road construction in the Annapurna region. It is still worth trekking the Annapurna Circuit trek as it is possible to avoid walking on the road. By hiking on alternative trails you will enjoy the experience on this classic trek. We follow Natural Annapurna Trekking Trails (NATT) where possible. We organised a recce trek following NATT for outdoor journalist, Terry Adby. Take a look at his article "The Return of the Annapurnas". in online magazine Outdoor Enthusiast starting on Page 46.

This updated M&E has added/revised/updated targets to systematically align additional earthquake recovery funding added into the award through 8th modification of Hariyo Ban award to WWF to address very unexpected and burning issues, primarily in four Hariyo Ban program districts (Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot) and partly in other districts, due to recent earthquake and associated climatic/environmental challenges. This updated M&E Plan, including its added/revised/updated indicators and targets, will have very good programmatic meaning for the program’s overall performance monitoring process in the future.
