List of endangered languages in Nepal
# List of endangered languages in Nepal

An endangered is a language that it is at risk of falling out of use, generally because it has few surviving speakers. If it loses all of its native speakers, it becomes a language that it is at risk of falling out of use, generally because it has few surviving speakers. If it loses all of its native speakers, it becomes an extinct. UNESCO defines four levels of language endangerment between "safe" (not endangered) and "extinct":

* Vulnerable
