Description/Abstract: With over one hundred languages from four major families (and at least one isolate), and a similarly high number of caste-clan and ethnic groupings, Nepal is a country of undisputed ethno-linguistic diversity. It is also a country of increasingly rapid social, cultural, political and economic change with ensuing geographic movement and language displacement. This study examines the intersection of traditional language practices and cultural diversity with these modern changes as they are relevant for a group of four languages spoken inside of the political boundaries of Manang, Nepal.
