Nepalis

Nepalis are the citizens and nationals of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal under the Nepali nationality law. The term Nepali strictly refers to nationality, meaning people holding citizenship of Nepal. Conversely, people without Nepalese citizenship but with roots in Nepal (such as Nepalese Australians), who speak Nepali or any of the other 128 Nepali languages but hold foreign citizenship, are referred to as Nepali-language speaking Foreigners (). The term Nepali is also not generally used to refer to non-citizen residents, dual citizens, or expatriates.

Nepal is a multicultural and multi-ethnic country. Bagmati Province is the most densely populated province, holding approximately 20.97 percent of Nepal's population.

Nepali diaspora

The Nepali diaspora, or non-resident Nepalese, are Nepali people living overseas. The Non-resident Nepali Act, 2064 of Nepal defines a non-resident Nepalese as someone who is a foreign citizen of Nepali origin including a Nepali citizen residing abroad.
