As someone deeply connected to my roots, the opportunity to learn my native language, Nepali, on a platform like Duolingo would be invaluable. My journey to learn more about my heritage is important, and I am sure many others feel the same way about exploring their cultural identity through language.

Duolingo is a popular and effective tool for language learning, empowering millions of people worldwide. However, despite its extensive language catalog, it currently lacks Nepali, a significant language spoken by over 25 million people globally. The Nepali diaspora, along with those interested in learning about the rich cultural tapestry of Nepal, would greatly benefit from its inclusion.

Nepali is not only spoken in Nepal but is also recognized in India's regions and has a global presence due to our vibrant diaspora. Considering this widespread use, adding Nepali to Duolingo would foster greater understanding and connection among different communities.

To make this vision a reality, it is pivotal for Duolingo to recognize the demand and cultural significance of Nepali. By collaborating with native speakers and linguistic experts, Duolingo can ensure that the course is both accurate and engaging.

I urge Duolingo to expand its offerings by including Nepali as a language option. This initiative will not only benefit individuals like me, eager to learn and connect with their heritage, but also enrich the platform's diversity, making it a true global leader in language education.
