"Gyanimaya Kusunda and her sister Kamala Kusunda, who are among the handful of people who can still speak their native language in its original form, were delighted to see a group of people from their community learning their language in a classroom of Aadarsha Secondary School in Lamahi, Dang, on Thursday.
The class, which will be held regularly from now onwards, was organised by the Language Commission in a bid to preserve the dying Kusunda language. The commission has assigned 80-year-old Gyanimaya and 43-year-old Kamala as the resource persons for the language class."
"At the moment, 20 people from the Kusunda community are taking the language course, but Awasthi said the class was open to anyone who wanted to learn the language."
