A linguagem dos Sawis

Como pregar o evangelho para este povo?

A língua deles é extremamente difícil e nunca um ocidental havia conversado com eles. Na verdade, nunca tinham visto um homem branco.
A língua contém 38 terminações verbais, um número interminável de sufixos e sufixos de sufixos. Cada verbo tem 19 tempos apenas no modo indicativo.

Don Richardson afirmou no livro O Totem da Paz que o vocabulário sawi é extremamente específico. Por exemplo, em português nós temos a palavra abrir, abrir o coração, abrir os olhos, abrir a porta, abrir uma tampa qualquer, abrir os olhos. Em sawi, eles falariam em fagadon os olhos, anahagkon o coração, tagavon a porta, tarifan a tampa, dargamon os olhos de outra pessoa.
