The Nepali Wikipedia (Nepali: नेपाली विकिपिडिया) is the Nepali language edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation.[1] As of December 2023 it has 32,679 articles and about 65,000 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.

History

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]
