Nepali Dictionary - Learn Nepali - Sites

Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya
Maintain Nepali Unicode. Thanks to them.. now typing in Nepali is very easy.. and consequently lots of sites/blogs in Nepali is emerging. Recently, they launched NepalLinux 1.0 (Linux OS in Nepali) on 22 Dec, 2005.

You can download Nepali Unicode from their site by clicking here

Also.. i found some good Nepali to English Dictionaries.

Cornell's Nepali-English/Nepali-English Dictionary
Mark Turin's Thangmi-Nepali-English Dictionary
Bruce Adcock's 420-word Unicode Nepali dictionary
Nepal Homepage's English to Nepali Dictionary
Ralph Turner's Comparative Dictionary of the Nepali Language
Ruth Laila Schmidt's Practical Dictionary of Modern Nepali

There are a handful of interactive language learning tools for Nepali which are worth exploring:
How to Learn Nepali by Janak Education Materials Center Limited (for which you will have to download and install their custom font)
Webshaala by Thamel Dot Com
Hindi Script Tutor designed for SOAS, which is also largely appropriate for Nepali
Sanskrit Alphabet Tutor
Audio files of correct pronunciation of Sanskrit characters
