Linguistics for Bible Translation (with Aaron Wade)

In this episode, we talk with Aaron Wade, a linguist working in Papua New Guinea. He helps us understand why having a good linguistic base for a language is critical for Bible translation. This includes creating a good orthography (writing system), understanding their culture from an insider's point of view, and building relationships with them that help give a good Bible translation footing to work from. Aaron dives into the general principles of linguistics as well as sharing some of those things that he has learned from the language he works with in PNG.
