About this file: Natural, reliable Lepcha sentences need a native speaker, so this file does not guess at them. Each wish opens with a Lepcha greeting : Khamri (greetings) or Achuley (cheers) : and continues in Nepali, the shared language of Sikkim and Darjeeling.
Khamri! तपाईंको आँगनमा बलेको हरेक दियोले मनको हरेक कुनालाई उज्यालो पारोस्, कञ्चनजङ्घाको हिउँजस्तै तपाईंको जीवन चम्किलो रहोस्, र अन्तिम दियो निभेपछि पनि घरको हाँसो कहिल्यै नओइलाओस्। Khamri! May every lamp in your courtyard brighten every corner of your heart, may your life shine like Kanchenjunga's snow, and may your home's laughter never wilt even after the last lamp goes out.
Khamri! जोङ्गुको जङ्गल र रङन्यु नदीले सिकाएझैँ, प्रकृतिसँग मेल गरेर बाँच्नु नै सबैभन्दा उज्यालो तिहार हो। Khamri! As Dzongu's forests and the Rongnyu river teach us, living in harmony with nature is the brightest Tihar.
Khamri! प्रिय साथी, यसपालि सँगै दियो बाल्न पाइएन, त्यसैले यो सन्देशसँगै एउटा सानो ज्योति र धेरै माया पठाउँदैछु। Khamri! Dear friend, we couldn't light lamps together this time, so I'm sending a small flame and lots of love with this message.
Achuley! दार्जिलिङदेखि गान्तोकसम्म सबै साथीहरूसँग मिलेर देउसी-भैलो खेल्दा जुन रमाइलो हुन्छ, त्यो रमाइलो वर्षभरि रहोस्। Achuley! May the fun of playing Deusi-Bhailo with friends from Darjeeling to Gangtok last all year.
Khamri! चरा-चुरुङ्गी र जङ्गली जनावरलाई नतर्साउन पटाका कम पड्काऔं। Khamri! Let's burst fewer crackers so we don't frighten the birds and wild animals.
Khamri! तपाईं र तपाईंको परिवारलाई शुभ दीपावली तथा तिहारको शुभकामना। Khamri! Happy Deepawali and Tihar wishes to you and your family.
