The research provides important background information and introductory analyses on the distinctive features of the language based on authenetic data, fact and minute observations rather than superficial observations and hearsays. This small-scale sociolinguistic profile will enable us to develop informed conclusion about the use of the Maithili dialect, attitude of the native speakers towards Maithili language, their attitude towards other languages and similarities and differences in lexical and syntactic structures across the Terai region of Nepal. Thus, the focus of the present study has been both to display the reality concerning the Maithili language and to provide at least some ground work for further studies.Item Speech Acts in English and Bajhangi(Department of English Education, 2012) Bohara, Ammar BahadurThis research entitled "Speech Acts in English and Bajhangi" has tried to find out the different direct, indirect and non-polite speech acts and the main purpose of this studywas to list and compare,the different speech acts used by English and Bajhangi native speakers.I listed and compared the speech acts used while taking to neighbours, guests, friends, strangers.

Until and unless the study of this Verb Agreement, is not solved, we cannot understand language. Limbu language is also scientifically proved language like other languages. Its spoken form is well developed but written form is not developed well. Though it is one complete language but also its grammatical forms are not studied yet due to the lack of Researchers. Many native and foreigners have tried to study about many grammatical aspects of Limbu language but relating this Verb Agreement in Limbu language is not studied by Researchers. Really it is very difficult to understand the Limbu language without knowing its grammatical aspect. Although many Limbus speak Limbu language but they have very poor in grammatical aspects. Limbu grammatical items are really difficult than English grammatical items. If some one deeply wants to understand Limbu language, he should know Limbu grammatical items. It is related with Himalayan pronominalzed language group. When nouns and pronouns come as subject in Limbu language then these different nouns and pronouns as take different verbs forms. Though the topic is verb agreement but it is better to say that relating on topic Subject, Object verb agreement because when we write Limbu language object has also direct connection with subject and verb. In Limbu when three persons and three numbers come as subject, then they take different verb forms even is same tense. It is really problematic tasks in Limbu language. It isalso very difficult to study for non-native Limbu speakers. So in this dissertation these grammatical item are tried to study systematically.
