One would think, growing up in Nepal, speaking Nepali should not be a problem. After all, that is the medium through which virtually everyone communicates. From parents talking to their newborn babies to the framing of the constitution, Nepali is the language used everywhere. All these reasons would make one think that any ordinary Nepalese citizen can speak the official lingua franca of the nation. While that has been a simple fact for many decades, the case may be changing among the Nepalese youth, especially in more developed parts of the nation.
