[Translation of New Testament.] A translation of New Testament in the Tabare dialect the Sinasina language was completed and printed in 1975 by Charles Turner who at that time, was a member of New Tribes Mission. Charles also put together a Tabare dictionary which a copy of, I believe is in the library at the University of Port Moresby. Also there were primers written to help the local people read and write their own language. Rosalie Ranquist and Nell Dreghorn were primarily responsible for these. I do believe copies of all these are still available. |
