Their numeration system is based on 20. They did simple mathematical operations orally but large number of problems could not be solved by illiterate persons. Sherpa people used different measurement system such as bitta, inch and hatt for length measurement, kosh for long distance measurement, tulo for weight measurement etc. On the other hands, they have no any concept of geometry but they prefer to construct and use geometrical objects to make their life easy.

They, who live in the northern highlands of eastern Nepal, have their unique language with thirty consonants, six vowels sounds and ten diphthongs. They acknowledge "Sambota" as their own script. It is spoken in different districts. Thus, It's pronunciation and word meaning are being differed with geographical distance, communication and globalization which have been the central issue for the comparative study. This language is similar as maximum level. Very few differences have been found in terms of nominal morphology, verb morphology and to some extent in lexical words. Plural markers, possessive case marker and locative case marker are different in these two Sherpa variants. Similarly, tense, aspect and honorific markers are also different. But these differences don't bring hindrances in bilateral communication.Item Social and Economic Impacts of Tourism in the Sherpa Community of Simigaun, Gaurishankar Village Development Committee of Dolakha District, Nepal(Faculty of Sociology, 2017) Sherpa, PemdomaTourism has become prime industries in the world that employs in a large scale and generates income.
