Abstract

This chapter investigates how Nepali people demonstrate colonized thinking in their responses to a speech by a former Minister of State for Health and Population. Nepali people seem to be influenced by standard language ideology. Therefore, this chapter argues that Nepali people should come out of their colonized thinking, which adheres to standard language ideology. They should rather embrace translingualism in order to appreciate their own cultural and linguistic heritage when communicating in English.
