LipiMala: Reviving the Nepali Script, One Swipe at a Time
In an age where English dominates our screens and conversations, reconnecting with the Nepali language – especially its elegant script – can feel like a distant goal. Enter LipiMala, an innovative app designed to make learning the Nepali script fun, interactive, and beautifully simple.
Developed by ZeptoSky Pty Ltd, the app is the brainchild of Kiran Adhikari, a Nepali innovator based in Australia. His vision? To bridge the growing gap between modern tech habits and the cultural roots of the Nepali language. And LipiMala does exactly that – by turning script learning into a colorful, engaging experience for both kids and adults.

Where & By Whom
LipiMala is designed for a wide range of learners:
- Children learning Nepali letters at home or school.
- Nepali diaspora members seeking to reconnect with their language and script.
- Non-Nepali speakers such as travelers, volunteers, or language enthusiasts wanting to learn basic Nepali letters and words.
Thanks to offline functionality and global availability, the app is accessible both inside and outside Nepal, making it a versatile tool for anyone interested in the Nepali language.
How It Works
LipiMala’s approach is simple yet effective:
- Start with basic vowels and consonants, with step-by-step visual guides showing stroke order and direction.
- Interactive tracing allows users to draw letters on the screen, receiving instant feedback on accuracy.
- Audio pronunciation by native Nepali speakers helps learners improve their speaking and listening skills.
- Lessons are progressive, moving from simple to more complex letters and combinations.
- Offline access lets you continue learning anywhere, anytime.
- Progress tracking and rewards make the experience motivating for learners of all ages.
Beyond teaching letters, LipiMala is a tool for cultural preservation. It reconnects users with the Nepali script (Devanagari) and promotes literacy among younger generations while providing an accessible learning platform for global audiences.
