Namo Audio Bible Portions (MXWTBL)

Overview

This resource contains audio Bible portions in Namo (also known as Dorro), a language of Papua New Guinea's Western Province, distributed through the Faith Comes By Hearing platform [1]. Namo is a Papuan language spoken by a small community of approximately 700 people in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea [2]. The language has historically been associated with Global Recordings Network audio materials, and SIL Papua New Guinea has documented it as part of the broader language survey and documentation work in the region [3]. No full Bible or New Testament had been reported in Namo at the time of production; these audio portions represent the first Scripture materials made accessible to the Dorro-Namo community [2]. Papua New Guinea is home to more than 800 languages, and the Namo-speaking community is among the many smaller language groups for which audio resources serve as the primary means of Scripture access [4].
