For all of you who have been chomping at the bit to hear that the Kwaya orthography has been finalized, well, that time is drawing near. (If you haven't been chomping at the bit...that is ok too).
Five years ago I was assigned to help develop the Kwaya orthography. Last week I finished my side of the work. It is being reviewed a final time by others and then it will be official, the Kwaya language will have an approved orthography.
Getting an approved orthography is a HUGE step towards being able to print the New Testament in a language. Even if the New Testament was fully translated and ready to be printed, it can't be printed without the language having had an approved orthography for at least two years.
So, this is one barrier to the Kwaya language community getting the New Testament in their language that will soon be removed!
