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 Brookvale

Brookvale is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Brookvale is 16 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Warringah Council. It is part of the Northern Beaches region.

The first development in the area was in 1836 when 64 hectares of farmland was granted to William Frederick Parker. In this period further land was sold to the Malcolm, Burns and Miles families. In 1883, Sydney Alexander Malcolm built what became known as 'Brookvale House'. It eventually was sold in 1961 to the Hooker Investment Corporation paving the way for the construction of Warringah Mall, which is the largest shopping complex in the area. Brookvale Post Office opened on 1 June 1888.
