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 Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a town to the north of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 51 kilometres from the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Hornsby Shire.

Brooklyn is sometimes considered the northernmost suburb of the Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area, as it is located on the Sydney side of the Hawkesbury River, and Mooney Mooney Bridge. It is part of The County of Cumberland, in which Sydney city is located, but Brooklyn is seldom considered part of the city. Brooklyn occupies a narrow strip of tidal waterfront land aligned east – west along the southern bank of the Hawkesbury River.

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park borders the suburb to the south and the F3 Sydney-Newcastle Freeway crosses the river just to the west. Long Island runs parallel with the suburb on the opposite side of Sandbrook Inlet and is joined to Brooklyn by the railway causeway. Dangar Island is sited to the north east. The general area was known as Peat's Ferry crossing for a long time until January 1884 when a plan of survey for the subdivision of land owned by Peter and William Fagan was registered with the suburb name of Brooklyn. A hotel of the same name followed later in the year. The town owes its existence and location to the main northern railway line with the railway arriving in Brooklyn in 1887 when the single track section north from Hornsby was completed.
