Interesting Facts

Dobu is a significant Austronesian language that serves as a bridge of communication across the D'Entrecasteaux Islands. The language's importance is reflected in its wide use as a lingua franca, reaching far beyond its native speaker population. The beautiful complexity of the language is evident in its translation of John 3:16:

"Ta Yaubada saꞌi tomota maiboꞌadi baleꞌuya ꞌiobobomedi ga natuna tebweuna ꞌitagwalena be ꞌenega yaisigedi tauna ꞌena siemisa, geyaꞌabo simwawamwawasa ta esi yawasidi ataya sida loba."

This translation uses the Latin script with special adaptations for the Dobuan alphabet, including unique characters that capture the language's distinct sounds and meanings.
