Santa Teresa Cora Bible (COKWBT)

Overview

New Testament and Psalms in Santa Teresa Cora, published in 2005 by Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. The Cora are an indigenous people of the Sierra del Nayar in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, and were the last indigenous group in the region to be subjugated by the Spanish colonial administration — their isolated, mountainous territory long protected their independence. [1][2] Cora divides into two main dialectal groups: El Nayar (eastern) and Santa Teresa (western), which are distinct enough to require separate literary and translation resources; the Santa Teresa variety is spoken by approximately 7,000 people in the communities around Municipio del Nayar. [3][4] SIL Mexico conducted linguistic fieldwork with the Santa Teresa Cora community; Donald Roth served as linguistic advisor from SIL, and Cora community members Andrés Due Teófilo, Ponciano Gervacio Due, and Servando Gutiérrez Gervacio collaborated on literacy materials including an alphabet booklet published in 2008.
