Language Commission (भाषा आयोग) is a constitutional commission in Nepal. [2] Nepal's Constitution (Article 7,1) designates Nepali in Devanagari as the official language for government work. The Commission notes government offices neglect this, proposing laws for mother tongue education (up to 3rd grade) to uphold constitutional rights (Article 31,5). [3]

Constitution of Nepal. According to its sub-clause 6, the following are the rights and duties of the commission.
