This article explores the emergence, features and practices of Nenglish. Globalization is the cause of the emergence of world Englishes and Nenglish. Along with the emergence of world Englishes, Nenglish has also gained its space in Nepal and Nepali diaspora. This research paper is based on phenomenological research design. The primary sources of data were collected through interviews from two participants. Secondary sources were also studied for theoretical literature. The findings include the lexical, morphological, syntactic, phonological and semantic features of Nenglish. It also includes the existence and status of Nenglish in Nepali diaspora, features of Nenglish, and the practices for its promotion as the major themes.
