Example text

The Lord's Prayer
English Hanga
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Ti ba Naawunni n ba Alizaana puwa,

ka e naalim o ta,
niriba ba niŋuba e kiperi,
a yi durinye ŋa puwa,
a maa seema ba n niŋina a,
