Where the suggestions come from
Suggestions are words that really appear in Nepali writing, most-used first, from the Leipzig Corpora Collection's Nepali news corpus (2020), used under the CC BY licence (D. Goldhahn, T. Eckart, U. Quasthoff, LREC 2012), with a short list of business words by SAHARA Labs ranked first. The word list is downloaded once to your browser; what you type never leaves it.
