This is a bibliography I prepared on Nepalbhasa dictionaries (dictionaries of Newar language words). I’ve only included the materials published as books, and have not included materials published as articles. Likewise, I have neither included any ancient manuscripts nor any idioms/phrasebooks. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Bal Gopal Shrestha, Kamal Ratna Tuladhar, Rajesh Tandukar, Rukshana Kapali, Sanyukta Shrestha, Sarbagya Ratna Tuladhar, and Shanta Raj Shakya for their help in compiling this list.
