The Nepali Wikipedia (Nepali: नेपाली विकिपिडिया) is the Nepali language edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation.[1] As of November 2024 it has 31,390 articles and about 69,000 users, of which 6 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.
