The Bhojpuri Wikipedia (Bhojpuri: भोजपुरी विकिपीडिया) is the Bhojpuri language version of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The site was launched on 21 February 2003.[1][need quotation to verify] Bhojpuri is today written in the Devanagari script. Bhojpuri is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in northern-eastern India and the Terai region of Nepal.[2] It is chiefly spoken in western Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh.[3] The language is a minority language in Fiji, Guyana, Mauritius, South Africa, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.
