Jirel is a Southern Tibetic language spoken by about 4,800 people mainly in Bagmati Province in eastern Nepal. In particular, it is spoken in the Jiri Municipality (जिरी) and nearby villages in Dolakha District in the north of Bagmati Province. There are also speakers of Jirel in Darleeling and Sikkim in northern India, and in Bhutan and the Maldives.
There are ways to write Jirel with the Tibetan and Devangari alphabets. The Tibetan alphabet is used mainly for religious texts by Jirel Lamas. The Uchen version of the Tibetan alphabet is used in printed texts, and the Ume version is used in handwritten texts.
