We're Getting So Close!

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!

My Office Today

I have one question about the Kwaya orthography that I've been trying to answer for six months. In an attempt to get an answer I set up office for a couple of hours here:

Despite the lovely setting I was unable to get a clear answer to my question. So, tomorrow I'm heading out to a different market and I'll try again. Wish me luck!
