Editing Newar language (section)

====Post-2006 People's Movement====

A second People's Movement in 2006 ousted the Shah dynasty and Nepal became a republic which gave the people greater linguistic freedom. The 2007 Interim Constitution states that the use of one's native language in a local body or office shall not be barred.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ccd.org.np/new/resources/interim.pdf|title=The Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2063 (2007)|publisher=UNDP Nepal|page=56|access-date=19 February 2012|date=January 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219220657/http://www.ccd.org.np/new/resources/interim.pdf|archive-date=19 February 2012}}</ref> However, this has not happened in practice.

The restoration of democracy has been marked by the privatization of the media. Various people and organizations are working for the development of Newar. Newar has several newspapers, a primary level curriculum, several schools, several FM stations (selected time for Newar programs), regular TV programs and news (on Image TV Channel), Nepal Bhasa Music Award (a part of Image Award) and several websites (including a [[Wikipedia]] in Nepal Bhasa<ref>{{cite web|url=http://new.wikipedia.org/|title=Nepal Bhasa Wikipedia|publisher=new.wikipedia.org|access-date=6 December 2008|archive-date=14 February 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050214105531/http://new.wikipedia.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>).
