Proposal to collaborate on making Nepali Wiktionary more structured and resourceful

Hello!

I am Ananya Gupta, and I am originally from Nepal. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Human-Centered Computing Department at Clemson University in the United States of America. My current goal is to build a comprehensive Nepali dictionary in order to create a solid foundation for getting computers to understand the Nepali Language. I realized that there are very few Nepali words in Wiktionary. Therefore, I am developing a standard word entry template to add words to Nepali Wiktionary so that we have complete information about each word which is important when getting computers to understand Nepali.

I noticed that you have been actively contributing to Nepali Wiktionary and I would like to know if you would like to help out in this long-term endeavor. Information about my vision for this project can be found at https://nepalinlp.org/ and https://nepalinlp.org/category/wiktionary/. I have also created a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/446813650585729/) that will be our discussion or forum area for this initiative. I would be happy to collaborate with you on making Nepali Wiktionary more resourceful and structured so that we can build the foundation for doing natural language processing in Nepali. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are four words I have contributed to Wiktionary in the format I am proposing:

पर्याप्त

प्रयास

माध्यम

सादा

Please feel free to look at the above words in Wiktionary or on my website to become familiar with the format.

Thank you!
