<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">It was either by necessity or accident or by both that a vernacular literacy program was started way back in the late 1990s among the Luqa speakers of the Western Province in the Solomon Islands. When a young
man of the Luqa language, who had just graduated with a Masters Degree majoring in Bible and Linguistics, came up with the idea of translating the Bible into his vernacular, the Luqa speakers were no doubt thrilled about the possibility of having a very important
but foreign book written in their own language.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">For the young man and the other speakers of the vernacular, the goal of translating a foreign book into the familiar vernacular is so that they could understand it. However, achieving that goal seemed remote
and the hope of reading the book in their own vernacular seemed unrealisable when it became obvious that most vernacular speakers themselves could not intelligibly read the first book, the Gospel of Mark, even when it was translated and published in their
own language. </span><a href="http://www.dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au/news-and-media/events/article/?id=lecture-studying-the-vernacular-in-the-vernacular-by-the-vernacular-speakers-27-november"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#4472C4">Read more…</span></a><span style="font-family:Arial"><br>
