Nepali, an Indo-Aryan language, has evolved over centuries, influenced by Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Tibeto-Burman languages. Its roots trace back to the 12th century, with early forms of Nepali emerging in the Kathmandu Valley. Officially recognized in 1950, Nepali is now the national language of Nepal and spoken by over 17 million people.

Its rich literary history includes works from saints like Bhanu Bhakta Acharya, who first translated the Ramayana into Nepali, cementing the language’s cultural significance. Nepali serves as a unifying force in a diverse nation, where over 120 languages are spoken.

Nepali culture is deeply rooted in values of community and respect. One such word, “Namaste”, symbolizes the warmth and hospitality that define Nepali society. This greeting, which means “I bow to you,” reflects the cultural emphasis on mutual respect and spiritual connection.

Another important cultural element is “Lakhpati”, referring to the traditional practice of philanthropy in Nepali villages, where families donate a portion of their wealth to support the community.

In recent years, the Nepali community has faced challenges, including the 2015 earthquake, which devastated parts of the country. Yet, Nepalis have shown remarkable resilience. Cultural events like the Dashain festival continue to showcase unity, with people from around the world celebrating the bonds of family and tradition, highlighting the enduring strength of Nepali identity.

How much does Nepali interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Nepali interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.

Are Nepali translators and Nepali interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Nepali interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Nepali into English and English into Nepali). Interpreters Nepali serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Nepali translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.
