| Description | The United Nations recommended system was approved in 1972 (II/11), based on a report
prepared by D. N. Sharma. The note on the system was published in volume II of the
conference report.
There is no evidence of the use of the system either in Nepal or in international cartographic
products. The resolution IV/17 (1982) recommended association, inter alia, with Nepal in
carrying out further studies on the system. In Nepal a system of romanization is employed by
the Nepal Survey Department (NSD). This system has been applied to names appearing on
national mapping, and it is also used in the Geographic Information Infrastructure Programme
(NGIIP).
Nepali (Nepālī) uses the alphasyllabic script Devanāgarī.
