Limbu is passed down to children. In Nepal, Limbu is used in all sorts of non-official domains such as at home, in villages and in worship though Nepali is also used at home and in markets. Multilingual dictionaries, religious rituals and texts, radio programs, and newspaper written in Limbu are found. In Sikkim (India), Limbu is one of the official languages and is taught in school till class 12. "Limbu vitality is still strong, but the Limbu spoken commonly today is showing the increasing influence of Nepali." (p.66)
