The Interim Constitution of Nepal (2007) grants numerous linguistic rights to the citizens of Nepal, and recognizes the linguistic diversity by recording 92 languages in the Census Report of 2001. There are however varying reports on the number of languages spoken in Nepal, and to clarify the linguistic situation in the country the National Languages Policy Recommendation Commission (1994/2050 V.S.; its English version 2008) had recommended a Linguistic Survey of Nepal to be carried out to determine more precise identification of languages spoken in the country. To date there have been two attempts to survey the languages of Nepal, namely the Grierson-Konow Survey (1898-1927) and the German Research Council Survey (1981-84). These however lack the detailed and comprehensive nature needed to address the current issues facing Nepal. The first Survey did not include all the languages spoken by the indigenous nationalities, and the second remains tentative and inconclusive due to inadequate documentation. There are thus several reasons why a more reliable survey is needed namely, (1) to develop orthographies for unwritten languages, (2) to determine the role of language in primary and adult education, (3) to identify and document minority languages facing extinction, and (4) to implement the socially inclusive provisions made in the Interim Plan, National Planning Commission 2007. The society is going to organize its 32nd annual conference on November, 2011.
