"In the homes of Yohlmo in the villages of the Yohlmo area Yohlmo is still the dominant language. Outside the home, however, some especially he men, prefer to use Nepal.... some of the younger families in the villages used Nepali as much as possible with their young children, so that they would not be at a disadvantage in school. But in the religious and cultural context Yohlmo is preferred." (p. 6)

"Using Nepali exclusively with the children was also very fashionable for a long time among the families who had managed to settle in Kathmandu or temporarily in India... But in the last ten years or so this trend has been reversed a bit. More and more Yohlmos have become aware how closely their personal and group identity is linked with their language; therefore children are now encouraged to learn and use Yohlmo." (p. 6-7)

Educated speakers tend to write Yohlmo down using Nepali.
