Nepali Sign Language or Nepalese Sign Language is the main deaf sign language of Nepal. It is a somewhat standardized language
based informally on the variety of Kathmandu, with lesser input from varieties of Pokhara and elsewhere. As an indigenous
sign language, it is not related to oral Nepali. Although as yet unofficial, in practice it is recognized by the Ministry
of Education and the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare, and is used (albeit in a somewhat pidginized form) in
all schools for the deaf. In addition, there is legislation underway in Nepal which, in line with UN Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) which Nepal has ratified, should soon give Nepalese Sign Language equal status with
the spoken languages of the country. |
