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.

Using 'rikta' (रिक्त) which means 'vacant' or 'empty' is a better fit for 'null' as it represents the absence of a value. This avoids the ambiguity of 'shunya' (zero) and aligns with the concept of an empty container or slot.
Issue breakdown
- accuracy While 'shunya' (शून्य) is a valid translation for zero, using the English loanword 'null' directly is common in programming contexts globally. However, for Maithili, a native term is preferable to avoid confusion with the numeral zero.
- specificity Using 'shunya' conflates the concept of null with the numerical zero, which can lead to errors.
- consistency Inconsistent with the goal of using native Maithili terms where possible.
