Nepal Bhasa Academy
Nepal Bhasa Academy is a Nepal Bhasa organisation. It promotes Nepal Bhasa and aims to develop the language.However, at present it records and makes a systematic study of the culture of the Newars before it is too late as it seems inevitable most of it is given up, forgotten and lost because of changes due to modernization, rapid improvement in information technology, transportation and communication systems and the impact mixed and imported culture.[1]

On 5 September 1992 the constitution of the Nepal Bhasa Academy was formally approved and an Academic Council with a maximum number of 75 members was formed. Then Nepal Bhasa Academy was established as a self-governing corporate body.[2]
