Sascha mentioned the UDHR examples; here is Article 1 in all three languages/dialects: Twi (Akuapem) Ahyɛde 1 Wɔawo adesamma nyinaa sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ ahofadi. Wɔn nyinaa wɔ nidi ne kyɛfa koro. Wɔwɔ adwene ne ahonim, na ɛsɛ sɛ wobu wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ anuanom. Twi (Asante) Ahyɛdeɛ 1. Nnipa nyinaa yɛ pɛ. Na wɔde adwene ne nyansa na abɔ obiara. Ɛno nti, ɛsɛ sɛ obiara dɔ ne yɔnko, bu ne yɔnko, di ne yɔnko ni. Fanti Asɛmpɔw 1 Wɔwo adasa nyina to fahodzi mu, na hɔn nyina yɛ pɛr wɔ enyimnyam na ndzinoa mu. Wɔmaa hɔn nyina adwen na tsibowa, na ɔwɔ dɛ hɔn nkitahodzi mu ndzeyɛɛ da no edzi dɛ wɔyɛ enuanom. I think it's clear that all three of these differ in more than just orthography. Michael said these examples didn't form the strongest use case, but to be fair, we've all agreed there aren't very many examples of Akan or other African languages on the Internet. Perhaps this is the best we can get for now. It's certainly not the weakest use case I've seen. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, CO, US | ewellic.org _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
