As the number of Nepalis living abroad continues to grow, a new app named Lipimala has been developed to help preserve Nepali art, culture, and traditions by teaching the Nepali language. The app was created by Kiran Adhikari, an IT engineer based in Sydney, Australia, with the aim of helping second-generation Nepalis learn the Nepali language.

He shared this information during a program, stating that Lipimala was launched to make it easier to learn and teach Nepali. The app was jointly inaugurated by local youth and Sanjeev Sharma, the Honorary Consul of New South Wales. Sharma emphasized that language is a crucial link to one’s homeland and that such an app could become an important tool for the younger generation. “Without language, younger generations cannot connect with art and culture, and our identity itself depends on it. That’s why Lipimala can help connect Nepalis and the younger generation not just in Australia but across the world with Nepal,” Sharma said.

IT engineer Adhikari explained that the app was designed to allow children and parents to learn Nepali from the comfort of their homes using digital tools.

Leaders of the Australian Nepali community, including Indra Ban, NRN Australia president Anil Pokhrel, writer Nishprabha Saji, and ICC member Delhi Dhakal, praised the app and extended their best wishes for its success. Nepali language researcher and expert Baldev Adhikari also sent his greetings via video message.

It was announced that the app is available for download and can be used anywhere in the world. According to Adhikari, it is designed to make it easy for second-generation Nepalis living abroad to learn Nepali effectively.
