why do nepalis in nepal talk like that...?

so im tryna get my 3rd generation nepali niece to listen to nepali songs because she asked me to introduce her to some gems. anyway, she found a song on youtube (linked) and she can’t get past the title lmao she keeps laughing at the vag part. i was wondering why did yall switch to writing words with ‘bh’ to ‘v’?

  1. Omggg yesss. I hope all of these nepali actress/ actors or self proclaimed elite community have great British accent when they’re talking in English but while talking in Nepali suddha boldiye hune ni. Is if too much to ask ? Or parents don’t talk like that, this is self taught and maybe thought it’s cool.

  2. I dont think there is the exact ‘v’ sound in the nepali language. It is phonetically closer with the ‘wa’ sound. va = wa. Thats why indians pronunce it such way. Nepalis learned ‘v’ as ‘bhi’. Down the line, wannabes (including some major rock and pop singers) started thinking they had a foreign accent when using ‘va’ instead of ‘bha’.

  3. Many Nepali people lack the understanding of difference between ph and f, bh and v, sh and s, etc. Tei vayera “she” lai “see” vanira hunxan, “nation” lai “nason”, etc and hence our English sounds so cringe.
