The Karen Language. “The missionaries, headed by the great Judson, have rescued the Karen language from oblivion and given it a certain permanency by reducing it to writing in the Burmese character.”
*The Loyal Karens of Burma.
Today all the Karens should read and write their language in the golden script or universal script, the roman letters, as so many great languages spoken today in the world, like Indonesian, Vietnamese, English, French, Spanish, Polish, Turk, Portuguese, Italian, and hundred others The use of Burmese letters or Thai letters will keep the Karens divided and hence weak.
" No people can long survive the extinction of their language. "(The Loyal Karans of Burma)
