Describe the bug

ne locale is not actually in Nepali (written in Deva Devanagari script). For example the cities and names at https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/ne/location/city_name.ts or https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/ne/person/first_name.ts are English transliterations

I feel the current data should be moved to en_NP leaving ne free for a proper Devanagari locale.

I think this is reasonable.

Should we create an alias now and remove it in the next major version similar to these one?

• refactor(locale)!: remove deprecated locale aliases #2787

[matthewmayer]

I think we could copy the data to en_NP and then replace ne with actual Devanagari content.

v10: rename ne -> en_NP, add deprecated ne -> en_NP alias
v11: remove ne -> en_NP alias, potentially add actual ne content
