The Nepali Language

• Origin and Evolution: Nepali, originally known as Khas Kura or Gorkhali, belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. It evolved from Sanskrit and has been influenced by various languages, including Tibetan and Persian. Over time, it has become the lingua franca of Nepal, unifying the diverse linguistic communities within the country.
• Official Language: Nepali is the official language of Nepal and is also spoken in parts of India, particularly in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal (notably in Darjeeling), as well as in Bhutan and Myanmar. It is written in the Devanagari script, which it shares with Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit.
• Literary and Cultural Significance: Nepali has a rich literary history with a wide range of poetry, folk songs, and classical texts. The language has produced many notable writers and poets, such as Bhanubhakta Acharya, who is regarded as the first poet of Nepal and is known for translating the Ramayana into Nepali, making it accessible to the general public. The language continues to be a vibrant part of Nepal's cultural identity.

About Bexley

Bexley is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Bexley is located 14 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Rockdale and is part of the St George area.

James Chandler named the suburb after his birthplace, Bexley in London, England. Chandler bought Sylvester’s Farm in 1822, from Thomas Sylvester who had been granted the land about ten years earlier. That year he was also granted 1,200 acres (490 ha) of land which stretched from what is now Bexley North to most of Rockdale and Kogarah. The estate was heavily timbered and a track through the centre, used by timber-getters, is today called Forest Road. Queen Victoria Street, Gladstone Street and Beaconsfield Street commemorate the British Queen and two of her prime ministers. Chandler was a well-respected citizen and became known locally as the Squire of Bexley, but his property attracted bushrangers, escaped convicts and other odd types. Chandler was not happy with his ill-assortment of neighbours and sold the land to Charles Thompson in 1836. Later it was bought by Charles Tindell, who began subdividing the land by 1856 for home sites. Lydham Hall, the oldest surviving residence in the area, stands on part of the original land grant of 1822. Joseph Davis settled in this historic residence in the late nineteenth century. Herbert and Frederick Streets are named after his two sons. Henry Kinsela lived on Kinsel Grove. George Preddy occupied Besborough, part of which became Bexley Park.
