Overview

This is the New Testament in the Tavoyan (Dawei) language, published by The Word for the World International in 2024. [1] Tavoyan is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by approximately 461,000 people in the northern Tanintharyi Region of southeastern Myanmar, centered around the city of Dawei (formerly Tavoy). [2][3] The language has 87% lexical similarity with Standard Burmese but is considered a distinct variety, and its speakers are classified by the Myanmar government as a subgroup of the Bamar. [4] The Word for the World International, founded in 1981 by Dr. Véroni Krüger, focuses on empowering nationals to translate the Bible for their own people.
