[sword-devel] Fwd: Pwo Karen

[David Haslam]

Hi everyone,

Has there been any further communication with Paul Rich regarding the Pwo Karen translation?

And is the dialect Eastern or Western Pwo Karen?

I just observed that there are these two dialects - as evidenced by certain Unicode character names in the Myanmar script.

Aside: Pwo Karen is not to be confused with S’gaw Karen.

Best regards,

David
