Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to address the need for a systematized orthography when working with unwritten languages, particularly for use in the translation of religious text. The author looks at the activities of various international missionary organizations and their attempts to create standard languages and alphabets. The author also examines the historical development of written language systems in regions such as Africa and Asia. The author suggests that the universal application of a standard orthography would increase the ease with which people could be introduced to Christianity and Western culture, eliminating confusion that arises from dialects and non-standard orthography.
