Sample text
(John 3:16):क्याकी भण्याँ परमेश्वरले संसारलाई यिसो प्रेम अर्यो, कि उनले आफनो एकै चेलो दियो, कि उनमि विश्वास अद्द्या कोई लगइ नाश जन हऊन् , तर तइले अनन्त जीवन पाउ |
Romanization:kyākī bhaṇyā pareśwarle sasārlāī yiso prem aryo, ki unle āphno ekai celo diyo,ki unmi viswās addyā koī lagai nāś jan haūn,tar taile anant jīwan pāū.
Translation:
For God so loved the world,that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Compare with Nepali:
किनकि परमेश्वरले संसारलाई यति प्रेम गर्नुभयो, कि उहाँले आफ्नो एकमात्र पुत्र दिनुभयो, ताकि उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्ने कोही पनि नाश नहोस्, तर उसले अनन्त जीवन पाओस्।
Romanization:
Kinaki paramēśvaralē sansāralā'ī yati prēma garnubhayō, ki uhām̐lē āphnō ēkamātra putra dinubhayō, tāki uhām̐māthi viśvāsa garnē kōhī pani nāśa nahōs, tara usalē ananta jīvana pā'ōs.

Origin and history
Although Dotyali isn't fully intelligible with standard Nepali, Dotyali is considered a member of the macrolanguage Nepali. In Nepal, Doteli is considered a Nepali dialect. However, local intellectuals and people of Doti, those who speak Doteli, are increasingly demanding their language to be recognized as one of the national languages of Nepal.
