Nepali is the national language of the kingdom of Nepal, which is stretched east-west on the southern slope of the Himalayas. It is one of the Indo-Aryan languages. Some of the syntactic features like ergativity are closer to the western group of new Indo Aryan languages like Hindi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Rajastani, Punjabi, and Urdu, while some other grammatical and phonological features take Nepali closer to the eastern group of NIA languages like Bihari, Bengali, Assamese, Oriya and E-Hindi. Nepali is spoken in the contact area of Tibeto-Burman and North Indo-Aryan languages. Thus there are traits of grammatical convergence between Nepali and some of the Tibeto-Burman languages.
This paper covers the serialisation rules ranging from morphones to sentences.
