Last week I met with the Zinza language committee, presented the Zinza orthography to them, debated a couple of choices that have been made, and in the end, received their approval for the orthography that we've developed over the past 25 years!
Why is this such a huge step?
Because it is the final piece (of many) needed to submit the application for "Approved Orthography Status". This status gives us a lot more freedom in printing Zinza materials, and an orthography has to have this status for at least two years before the New Testament can be printed. This status also means that this way of writing Zinza is becoming accepted by the community and is being used more.
Praise the Lord for preparing the way to reach this important step.
Pray that the application will be accepted and that we are granted "Approved Orthography Status".
Here is a picture of the language committee that gave us their approval:
What a beautiful picture! I love the way the woman has her hands on your shoulders!
