Reviving Nepal Bhasa | A documentary about the Newar people of Nepal

Reviving Nepal Bhasa is a story of the indigenous people of Kathmandu Valley called Newars. They speak a language called Nepal Bhasa and they are considered to be the original inhabitants of the valley. They are mostly known for the creation of many of the art and architecture that decorate the valley. Newars have their own set of unique ritual activities and cultural norms. The history of the Newar people is full of legends, foreign invasion, and political oppression.#Newar #Documentary #RevivingNepalBhasa #Nepal

I am deeply moved and impressed by this documentary on Newari people and their identity. I strongly feel that all the educated Newaris outside and inside Nepal become aware of their dying cultural heritage, and so they must pull together all their intellectual and material resources to help revive the identity and heritage. I love Newars.

Newari language aka Nepal Bhasa is a highly Aryanised language, it has huge loan words from Sanskrit, Arabic, Farsi & Maithili languages despite of being part of Sino-Tibbetan language family.

The Jyapu community is the most active among the Newars of Kathmandu valley. From farming to pottery and from playing music to taking part in festivals, their activities are invaluable to Newar culture. From farming to pottery and from playing music to taking part in festivals, their activities are invaluable to Newar culture Jyapu literally means "competent worker" in the Newari language and is numerically the largest group of the Newar community. Some of the prominent Jyapus are Maharjan, Dangol, Awale, Suwal, Duwal, Singh, Prajapati,etc. They have provided significant contributions to Nepali society and have been seen as the backbone of the Newar community. Today Jyapus are known to be the descendants of the Kirat dynasty, the first settlers, and rulers of the Kathmandu Valley. When the Kirat dynasty came to end at the hands of the Licchavis, the majority of Kiratis left the Kathmandu valley and resettled elsewhere. Those Kiratis who were left behind or opted to stay behind became part of what is known as Newar today.

Gopalas (cowherd family) and the Mahispal(buffalo herder) was a fake dynasty created by some Brahmins in Nepal during the time of Shah. the truth is already out. lookout for the video नेपालमा पहिलो राजा नै किरातको थियो इतिहासमा अझै पनि छ अरुको राजा आज सम्म देखिएको छैन इतिहासमा in the youtube.

The movie will reveal the true fact about Nepal ancient history and educate the Nepali people and people around the World.

Kirats are native dwellers of eastern Nepal, not Kathmandu Valley. KTM always belonged to Newars. Nepal Mandal was a Newar country. Newars community was formed by assimilation different races and linguistic groups. Kathmandu Valley is a civilization & no civilization can be formed without assimilation of various Tribesmen in the beginning.

Due to cultural and political influence, newar people language and culture are shadowed by state dominant people culture. We need to form group and discuss plan and action to revive our language. We cannot go back to old ways but we can go forward with the flow of time. We have to define ourselves in a new way and move forward, also remembering our history. We can change our citizenship but we cannot change our identity. Nepal mandal is birthplace and soul of newa people. We should start raising awareness. #JayMaaBhya

I guess Tibetan word for Newari and Nepalese is Belpo . བལ་པོ།. Bel-yul (NEPAL) བལ་ཡུལ་ Tibetan and Newari relation started back in 7AD when princess Brikruti became the queen of Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo. NEWAR artisans have been coming to Tibet to built temple and monasteries.

Hinduism came to Nepal along with the Avadhi language so Nepali language became Nepali language mix language of avadhi and newari bhasha

[@DeusEstAmor________137]

If you have seen map of Nepal then you wouldn't made this comment. Avadhi is spoken near the border of West Nepal and Kathmandu is in East so how avadhi and newari mixed to form Nepali language? Nepali language is much more older than newari it was spoken in Himachal Pradesh and Garhwal later many dialects and language influence this to be different language

[@homelesslavie_vlogs9600]

​@@DeusEstAmor________137That was not Nepali, Nepali was originated within Nepal only. However those Pahari languages and Nepali are sister languages but have similarities. Influence is always two ways. Old Khas Kura influenced old Nepal Bhasa or vice-versa, which gave you the present form of Nepali & Newari. Newari is highly Aryanised , thanks to Khas Kura.
