Nar Phu, or ’Narpa, is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the two villages of Nar and Phu, in the Valley of the Nar Khola in the Manang district of Nepal. It forms a dialect continuum with Manang and is "probably intelligible with it". The Nar and Phu share a secret language intended to prevent Gyasumdo and Manang from understanding them.
Famous quotes containing the word language:
“The language I have learnt these forty years,
My native English, now I must forgo,
And now my tongue’s use is to me no more
Than an unstringèd viol or a harp.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
