"the flag carrier in shambles"[edit]

This phrase appears under the Tourism section as one of the reasons why the tourist industry faces challenges to growth. However, the phrase makes little sense in English. Possibly this is a mistranslation of a Nepali phrase? I could not find the point in page history when the phrase was added, so I lack all context for the addition. 98.29.142.35 (talk) 05:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The flag carrier in question is Nepal Airlines. I've reworded, and tagged that whole history portion as needing citations. CMD (talk) 06:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could the references to "Nepalese" be changed over to "Nepali"? Nepalese is an incorrect way to denote the people of Nepal. Per the Foreign Minister: https://www.sbs.com.au/language/nepali/en/article/youve-been-getting-our-name-wrong-says-nepals-foreign-minister/pp6bznae5 JadenStar10 (talk) 10:20, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are many sources that use both 'Nepali' and 'Nepalese' for the citizens of Nepal, so I don't see any need to change it.^[1]

When you mentioned about the type of people they lived in the nepal, the cluster of people, you divide them into khas arya, actually you have to categorize them as below:

a. arya:(according to race)

1. Chhetri

2. bahun

3. bishwokarma

4. pariyar

5. Nepali

6. madesi

b. Mangoliyan

1. magar

2. gurung

3. rai

4. limbu

5. Thakali

c. Mixed:

1. Newar

then classified according to caste system:

1. Chhetri

2. bahun

3. bishwokarma

4. Pariyar

5. Nepali

according to community:

1. Magar

2. Newar

3. Rai

4. Gurung

5. thakali and so on

now according to the religion:

1 hindu

2 buddhist

3 kirat

4 masto pujak

5 muslim

you have to categorize like this, you guyz put muslim in the caste category. Muslim is not caste, magar is not caste its a community! For more, you can check the census website https://censusnepal.cbs.gov.np/Home/Index/EN 2400:1A00:B1E0:14F5:AC5F:E5A3:C334:259C (talk) 02:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
