Linguistics and development in Nepal

Man has designed ways where he can stand taller than a giraffe, travel faster than a gazelle and tunnel deeper into the eath than any rodent. This has become possible not because he has grown a long neck, swifter legs or sharper claws, but because he possesses certain faculties which make him uniquely man. One of these skills is the human language skill as a communications medium. Without the everyday use of human language the further development of science and technology as well as the dynamics of routine living would soon grind into one massive deadlock.
