Moru is a Central Sudanic language spoken in South Sudan by the Moru people. Dialects are Agi, Andri ~ ’Bali’ba, Kadiro =
Lakama’di, Miza, Moruwa’di. The Moru language has been maintained through the use of the language in the church, particularly
the Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS). A number of editions of the Prayer Book (Buku Mätu Ro) and the hymn book (Buku Loŋgo
ro) have been published over the years. The Moru primer 'Kito Lusi ro Luka be' was first published in 1953 and has been reprinted
many times since. This is primarily a primer for use in schools. An adult literacy primer 'Buzevosite' was also produced in
the 1970s and published by New Day Publishers in Juba. This primer, in keeping with the strong Christian commitment of the
Moru people has a Christian theme. The New Testament and Psalms, 'Taobaro To'di' was first published in 1951. The full Moru
bible, 'Baibolo Alokado', with both the Old Testament and the New Testament was published by the Bible Society in Sudan in
1999. |
