Have you ever wondered what it takes to write down a language for the first time? In this episode, we interview Mike Cahill, the Orthography Services Coordinator for SIL. He helps us walk through the factors that need to be considered when creating a writing system, or orthography, for a language. When an orthography is usable and acceptable, it goes a long way in making a Bible translation usable and acceptable as well! Support the show

This is the first episode in a series exploring the process of Bible translation. In this episode, we talk to Gary Simons and Dave Eberhard, who are the lead editors of the Ethnologue, the largest and most trusted language database in the world. We will explore how we define a language and how we can classify languages in a meaningful way. Ultimately this will lead to strategic decisions about starting Bible translation projects.
