Nepal Bhasa Wikipedia
Posted on February 11th, 2007 in general, nepal, newar by amritSeveal months ago, I wrote how nice it would be to have a Wikipedia in my mother language Nepal Bhasa. Now, thanks to a medical student from Kathmandu (English Wikipedia user page, Nepal Bhasa Wikipedia user page) there is one. It uses the Devanagari script (Nepal Bhasa has her own scripts but they are not supported by Unicode yet. It sure is nice to be able to contribute to an encyclopedia in your language, and get encyclopedic knowledge in your own language!
As I mentioned in that earlier post, the Nepali wikipedia has already been in existence for some time now. If you know either language and wish to contribute, click here to learn how you can type in Devanagari on a Windows machine. Also, check out this Roman to Unicode Nepali Converter, developed by Deepak Khanal and Carleton alum Sujan Rajbhandary.
