Literature


Two Gospels were translated by E. and A. Haller, both of Mission de Mangungu. The Gospel of John was published in 1935, as Lasang Labve la afun kangi Yone; and the Gospel of Matthew in 1951, as Lasang Labve lafun Matayo. These were published by the Société Biblique Britannique et Étrangère (British and Foreign Bible Society). A collection of proverbs with French translations and explanations has been published.[3]
