A Nepali-English Dictionary: The Gift of Language

By Jon Greenberg on Friday, December 26, 2008.

As NHPR's Jon Greenberg was working on that story about the Bhutanese refugees, he came across an unexpected case of creative generosity. When Doug Hall began volunteering with the Bhutanese, he discovered that a general purpose English Nepali dictionary did not exist. The children had none to use in school. The parents had none to help with everyday life. So Hall took it on himself to publish a dictionary for them. As he explained later to Jon, his first step was to track down the options out there.
