尼泊尔语
Sakya’s primary interest is in designing systems to operate in the Nepali language. Because of the difficulty in programming in the Nepali language, Nepalese software was limited to word processing. He did his first demonstration of computing in the Nepali language on a microcomputer with the display of the Nepalese National Anthem in Devanagari script in 1983 on a CP/M-based computer. He received the Science Award in December 1983 for this work. He developed a software package complete with all Nepali characters. Certificates and checks were printed in the Nepali language using it. Commercial Nepali software can be developed. Sakya is working towards software with Nepali menus and commands so that Nepalis can work with computers without knowledge of English.
