Swahili NT online - kinda

Post by linearconcepts »

I was in the Congo last week when a friend mentioned a need for a Swahili digital Bible. I installed The Word on her laptop and then hunted high and low for a Swahili module. Argh. So I made one.

Like all others from this same source, it's missing the book of Philippians, but it also has some corrections to some errors I found, namely some mungled verses.

Swahili is NOT Kilswahili. As I understand it, Kilswahili is a totally different dialect of Swahili, popular in places like Zambia and Tanzania, but not in use in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the DRCongo (at least in the southern portion where I was), they use Swahili.

This missionary promises that she'll get the book of Philippians from her public domain Swahili Bible, send it to me in a text file, which I will then add to the item I've posted online.

I'm new to all this, so if there's a better place to post this kind of stuff, let me know.

Thanks.
