About this listen

Have you ever wondered what it takes to write down a language for the first time? In this episode, we interview Mike Cahill, the Orthography Services Coordinator for SIL. He helps us walk through the factors that need to be considered when creating a writing system, or orthography, for a language. When an orthography is usable and acceptable, it goes a long way in making a Bible translation usable and acceptable as well!
