I guess there are at least some people who are not able to support this claim. There are still a lot of languages without the Bible, or a part of the Bible. There are still many languages which we are not able to write, simply because the written version of the language has not yet been defined! I guess this is one of the main goals for Wycliffe Bible Translators: To define rules and a grammar for writing the 'rest' of the languages of this world. I do not see that any of them will have any reason to become unemployed during the foreseeable future. (Provided they get their neccessary support!) And still they are one of the 3 largest missionary organizations of the world. Bjorn -- ______________________________________________________________________ s-mail: e-mail: | | | Bjorn B.
