The Nepali Wikipedia ( Nepali: नेपाली विकिपिडिया) is the Nepali language edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. [1] As of April 2024 it has 33,061 articles and about 67,000 users, of which 7 are administrators. [2] As of 8 November 2022, the Nepali Wikipedia is the 110st largest Wikipedia. [2]
Nepali, using the Devanagari script, requires complex transliteration aids to be typed on devices. Thus, it has a phonetic Latin alphabet converter to Nepali, without having to use any special Nepali-typing software.
The Nepali Wikipedia was established on 3 June 2002, one year after the English Wikipedia was started, and it was among the first languages of South Asia to have its own Wikipedia. [3] [4]
As of April 2024, the Nepali Wikipedia has about 33,000 articles. The overwhelming majority of its readers originate from Nepal.
