Kailali District
Kailali District (Nepali: कैलाली जिल्लाⓘ), a part of Sudurpashchim Province in Terai plain, is one of the seventy-seven districts of Nepal. The district, with Dhangadhi as its district headquarters, covers an area of 3,235 square kilometres (1,249 mi2) and has a population of 911,155 (2021 census) and (775,709 in 2011 census), (616,697 in 2001 census).
Before the reunification of Nepal by Gorkha King Prithivi Narayan Shah, this district was part of the Doti Kingdom. Nepal lost it to the East India Company after the Anglo-Nepalese war (1814-1816) between the then Kingdom of Nepal and the East India Company followed by territorial concessions under the Sugauli Treaty. Later on after the treaty of 1860, Nepal recovered this land along with Kanchanpur, Banke and Bardiya.

Khas people make up a majority of the population with 55% of the population. Tharus and Rana Tharus are the largest minority (and largest single community) with 38% of the population. Hill Janjatis, mainly Magars, are 5% of the population.
At the time of the 2021 census, 36.47% of the population spoke Nepali, 35.86% Tharu, 14.16% Doteli, 4.33% Achhami, 2.27% Rana Tharu, 1.15% Magar and 0.90% Bajhangi as their first language. In 2011, 27.3% of the population spoke Nepali as their first language.
