Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

Maintaining consistency with the improved translation for 'null', 'rikta' (रिक्त) is the most appropriate term for 'nil' as well. It represents the absence of a value or reference.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy As with 'null', using 'shunya' conflates the concept with the numerical zero.
  • specificity Lacks specificity; 'nil' is often used to indicate the absence of a pointer or reference, which 'shunya' doesn't directly convey.
  • consistency Inconsistent with the improved translation for 'null'.
