Off topic, I get why ne.wikipedia.org is in Nepali, but why does new.wikipedia.org have different content in the same language?

  new is nepal bhasa or NEWari which is the language of the Nepal valley (also commonly known as Kathmandu valley).

      There 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.
