Ao Naga Bible

Other Language Bibles

Ao is a language of the Naga group of languages within the Tibeto-Burman family. This language is mainly spoken in the state of Nagaland, India. However, the speakers of this language are found in major metropolitan cities of India. With growing literacy, and with enthusiasm to develop their language and maintain its distinct identity, a good number of the speakers of this language write a variety of literature in this language. Strictly speaking, however, the literacy work between the Ao and other Naga peoples was initiated only after the advent of the Christian missionaries from America in 1872. The spread of the gospel among the Naga peoples encouraged the writing of the hitherto unwritten languages. The missionaries who served these peoples developed script systems for most of the Naga languages.

Ao Nagas appear to have migrated to their present habitat in the state of Nagaland from Mongolia through the Southeast Asia sometime in AD 400 (Bendangyabang, pp. 33-32). Ao Naga was primarily a preliterate language until the missionaries introduced the writing system. Oral tradition of the Ao Nagas indicates that the Ao Nagas had their own writing system in the past, but a dog ate the writings that were in a leather parchment, during the process of Ao migration to the present land. The tradition also states, and we all know it by experience, that the dogs like to eat bones and leather. The Ao Nagas have a good memory of the past, and they transmit this knowledge of the past constantly through narration
