Sample text (Lord's Prayer)

Amun Tatay nga sa langit, Kabay pa nga taodon kaw ang mga tao, Kabay pa nga magari kaw ron digi kanamun, Kag kon paiwan nga imong kabubutun ginatoman doto sa langit; Kabay pa nga tomanun ra digi sa kalibotan. Tawi kami amun kinanglan nga pagkaun sa adlaw nga dia, Patawada kami sa amun mga sala, Ay ginpatawad namun ra ang nagkasala kanamun. Indi mo kami pagipadaug sa mga pagsolay, Kondi lowasa kami kay satanas.
