[sword-devel] Bisaya-Inunhan New Testament (Philippines)

[Mike Hart]

I'll try to get it from msword to VPL. If you are concerned about paragraph formatting, WOC, etc. and someone with more experience volunteers, go with them. I would be stripping everything but scripture, chapter headings, and verse numbers. (i.e. no footnotes, etc.)

My wife and her sister are Visaya (Misamis Occidental) and will be able to do cursory proofreading of my work. Bisaya, Pisaya, Visaya, and Cebuano are sub-dialects or just spelling variations, right?
