नेपाली शब्दकोश

… which means, Nepali Dictionary.

It’s not like there already aren’t a few sites out there that provide services of a Nepali word look up. Except .. the word count on those sites is laughable! We easily have more than 145,000 words in the Nepali language; and I quote an expert here who has over 20 books authored in Nepali. In this day and age when people can tweet from the top of Everest, what a bitter little travesty this is!

Therefore, yours truly felt the need to satisfy this great void of Nepali words in the Internet and came up with Nepali Dictionary – to begin with (O there will be more). There are exactly 71,280 words in the dictionary currently. By the end of next month, I expect the count to reach 80,000 and by the end of this year hit the coveted 140,000.

Yes, the site is cranky, pale, boring, slow (audaciously LOL-ing right about now) and doesn’t let you search .. yet. But hey, you have the very handy auto-suggest feature which should take care of your immediate needs. In due time, I will put a search provision there along with plenty of cool hand-drawn images – you watch! And for heaven’s sake use a 21st century browser like IE8 or above, FF (latest), Chrome (latest), Safari (latest), etc!

If I were using MS technology (which for a long time helped me earn my bread and butter), I’d have put up the nifty little features overnight (yes, bragging!). But after ditching Microsoft in favor of open source technology quite recently, it’s been a challenge to accomplish even the little things – so learning here as I’m yearning here.

By the way, you can get updates on what’s happening with the site as well as Nepali words by subscribing to my blog (in Nepali) at blog.abui.com
