English is a Germanic language (Indo-European family), spoken in countries around the world; in India it is used alongside Hindi for the official work of the Union government, in courts and in higher education. It is written in the Latin alphabet: an alphabet in which vowels and consonants are separate letters.
Nepali (नेपाली) is an Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European family), descended from the same roots as Sanskrit, spoken in Nepal, where it is the official language, and Sikkim and the Darjeeling hills in India. It is written in Devanagari: each consonant carries a built-in "a" sound, other vowels are added as signs (matras), and a line across the top (shirorekha) joins the letters of a word. About 29 lakh (2.9 million) people in India speak it as their first language (Census 2011).
How English and Nepali compare
- English is written in the Latin alphabet and Nepali in Devanagari, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- English and Nepali are distant relatives in the Indo-European family (the Germanic and Indo-Aryan branches), but most everyday words are different.
- English usually puts words in the order subject–verb–object; Nepali uses subject–object–verb, with the verb at the end, so sentences are reordered in translation.
