Asia: Bible translation and distribution progress

Nepal

The Trinitarian Bible Society’s (TBS’) work translating, publishing, and distributing Bibles and evangelical texts spans continents. The countries of Nepal and Myanmar, and the state of Karnataka in South India are just some of the places TBS is working to translate God’s Word into people’s heart languages.

Nepal

“The need is very great in Nepal,” says TBS. More than 120 languages are spoken in the country, and many are without their own translation of the Bible.

One of these languages is Desauri, spoken by the Tharu people in the Terai region of Nepal and in neighbouring regions of India. There are about 450,000 Desauri speakers in Nepal and a further 500,000 in India. It is written using the Devanagari script.
