Nepalese phrase translated (6)
I believe the answer is:
sherpa
'nepalese' is the definition.
(Sherpas are a Nepalese ethnic group)
'phrase translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'phrase' anagrammed gives 'SHERPA'.
(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "- - Tensing" , "guide to range" , "Member of the Himalayan people famous for their skill as mountaineers" , "Phrase for Himalayan mountain climber" , "Mountain dweller" .)
