Maithili (/ˈmaɪtɪli/ MY-til-ee,[3] Maithili: [ˈməi̯tʰɪliː]) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in parts of India and Nepal. It is native to the Mithila region, which encompasses parts of the eastern Indian states of Bihar and Jharkhand as well as Nepal's Koshi and Madhesh Provinces. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India.[4][5][6] It is the second most commonly spoken native Nepalese language constitutionally[7][1][8] registered as one of the fourteen provincial official languages of Nepal.[9]
It is spoken by 21.7 million people. Of those, 3.2 million are Nepalese speakers.[1] The language is predominantly written in Devanagari, but the historical Tirhuta and Kaithi scripts retained some use until today.[10]
