Dotyali (Doṭelī, "language of Doti") is a Pahari Indo-Aryan language of far-western Nepal, spoken across eight districts in the historical Doti kingdom region. Closely related to Kumaoni and Garhwali (Indian Pahari) and to Nepali, but distinct enough that the Government of Nepal recognized it as a separate language for the 2011 census (codified as a separate ISO 639-3 language in 2012). The Dotyali Wikipedia (launched 2018) helped establish a standardized written form.
