Nepali or Nepalese

Wandershare

Nepali and Nepalese can be used interchangeably in modern usage, however, the people of Nepal predominately use the term “Nepali”.

If you’d like to be on the safe side, follow the rule from National Geographic and use Nepali for the people, language, and as an adjective referring to Nepal. Only use Nepalese in set proper names, like the Royal Nepalese Army.
