Parauk 2012 Edition (PRKBSM)

Overview

The Parauk 2012 Edition is the Wa Common Language Translation (WCL), a complete Bible in Parauk, an Austroasiatic language of the Palaungic branch and the standard variety of Wa. It is spoken across the Myanmar–China border, principally in Shan State and the Wa Self-Administered Division. Parauk is written in a Latin orthography whose origins trace to Christian missionary work in the early twentieth century. The Bible Society of Myanmar published this finalized edition in 2012, following revision of an earlier trial version.
