The English Wikipedia has a lot of contributors but smaller siblings such as new.wikipedia do not have this luxury. To be fair though, the problem isn't unique to Wikipedia as few people read and write in the language.

- prodigal_erik 11y agoOff topic, I get why ne.wikipedia.org is in Nepali, but why does new.wikipedia.org have different content in the same language?
- pooper 11y agonew is nepal bhasa or NEWari which is the language of the Nepal valley (also commonly known as Kathmandu valley).
- prodigal_erik 11y agoAh, different language, same script. TIL.
- thanksgiving 11y agoThere is Ranjana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranjana_alphabet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranjana_alphabet and Devnagari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari From what I understand, language and alphabets are related but not the same. For example, you can write in Japanese with roman alphabets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese Thus, it is possible to write in Newari (also known as Nepal Bhasa which literally translates to Nepal Language) in devnagari as well as ranjana. I cannot read or write in Ranjana. I can read or write Devnagari.
