MaïthiliLe maïthili (autonyme : मैथिली maithilī) est une langue de la famille des langues indo-iraniennes qui fait partie des langues indo-européennes. Il est parlé en Inde dans l'État du Bihar, et au Népal dans la partie orientale du Teraï. Les linguistes considèrent que le maïthili est une langue indo-aryenne orientale, différente du hindi, alors qu'il a été longtemps considéré comme un dialecte de l'hindi ou du bengalî. Ce n'est qu'en 2003 qu'il a acquis le statut de langue autonome en Inde et depuis 2007 qu'il est reconnu au Népal par la constitution comme l'une des 129 langues népalaises.
TeraïLe Teraï, ou Téraï (तराई, तराइ, tarāī), est la partie népalaise de la plaine indo-gangétique qui couvre également une large partie de l'Inde du Nord. Le Teraï est parsemé de prairies marécageuses, de savanes et de forêts tropicales. Son altitude est comprise entre 60 et 300 mètres. Le climat y est subtropical. Il constitue le grenier à blé du pays ainsi qu'un centre industriel et financier actif. La région est essentiellement peuplée d'ethnies représentant près de la moitié de la population du Népal.
