New Testament in Nahali (NLXWFW)
Overview
The New Testament in Nahali, titled खेरलो वचन (Kherlo Vachan) in the Devanagari script, was published in 2020 by The Word for the World International and Nahali Vishwaseen Mandli (Nahali Believers' Assembly) in Toranmal, Dhadgaon, Nandurbar, Maharashtra. Nahali — endonym Kalto — is an Indo-Aryan language of central India.
