In Nepal, local schools are encouraged to offer instruction in the first languages of their students. But even in linguistically diverse regions, the only words they still hear and read are in Nepali.
Over 100 languages are spoken in Nepal, a country of nearly 31 million people that is bordered by Tibet and India.
