Nepali Vocabulary Words Containing ण (Na) | Learn Nepali Words and Sentences

Ruthmerry Shrestha — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:36:28 +0000

Introduction

ण has a retroflex “Na” sound. When you pronounce it, your tongue curls slightly backward.

It is different from न, which is a dental sound. ण is pronounced further back in the mouth.

ण is rarely found at the beginning of common modern Nepali words.

Inside words

You can see ण clearly in words such as:

गणना · गणित · गुण · पूर्ण · वर्णन · कारण · निर्माण · प्रशिक्षण · प्राण · प्रणाम

In letter combinations

ण्ड → दण्ड, पण्डित
र्ण → पूर्ण, वर्ण, कर्ण
ण्त → गणतन्त्र, निमन्त्रण
ण्य → पुण्य, प्रणय

Learning these combinations will make it easier to recognize ण while reading longer Nepali words.
