... that the Nepali term 'sukumbasi' refers to squatters, but they typically avoid using the word because of its negative connotations?

The {{lang}} template makes the Nepali term italicized, and single quotes are advised by MOS:SINGLE.

LunaEatsTuna was listed on the template but apparently never edited this page before the ping above?
