I've started a Java applet that shows the Jesus Prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner") in various languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, and French: I would appreciate help in adding versions in other languages. Leo |

Here it is in my native language, Tsalagi (Cherokee): Unelanvhi Tsisa Galonedv, Unelanvhi Uwetsi, uha adadolisdi nahna asgani nasgiyai ayv. Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son, have mercy on sinner like me. (had to slightly change it as some words have no equal in Tsalagi) |

quote:Almost none ;c) Cherkoee is actually written in two different ways. The most common way (today) is as I provided using the English alphabet. I can read and write that fluently. Not so common today is using the Cherokee alphabet, I have a lot of difficulty reading/writing it myself. |

I will be happy to write it out (may take ma a couple of days) and send it off to you via snail mail, but I haven't the foggiest on how to do it on the computer. |

I have Arial Unicode MS at home, but it doesn't seem to want to show me Cherokee ;-( Leo |

No, all it should show is little boxes unless you have the cherokee font actually installed. I tried that once a long time ago, but the font wasn't too compatible with more current keyboards. |

quote:I wouldn't call it a significant gap. What is the world up to now? 6 Billon or more people? There are only around 700,000 Cherokee people in the world, and only a small percentage of these will be able to read and write the Cherokee language using the Cherokee alphabet. The majority of Cherokee read and write the language using the English alphabet as I did for you. [This message has been edited by Miami Brice (edited May 13, 2004).] |

Today, Holy Thursday, speaking in these tongues: English, French, German, Latin, Italian, Spanish, Cherokee, Jesus Prayer in Several Languages Would be nice to add a few more for Pentecost. Leo [This message has been edited by LeoWong (edited May 20, 2004).] |

Add a couple more versions: Jesus Prayer: Choose Language and Font Will not work with MS JVM or early Sun JVM. Leo |
