Can you imagine the joy when brothers will see the articles added to the website. 

 

I was wondering where is the Maguindanao language spoken? Is it only in Philippines? Or in other areas as well?

It is spoken mainly in the province of the same name (Maguindanao) in Mindanao Island, very far south from Manila. It is a Muslim-dominated area. I don't think it is spoken in other countries.

The two new languages are:

 

Hawai’i Pidgin

Hawaiian Pidgin English is an English-based creole language spoken in Hawaiʻi.

Although English and Hawaiian are the co-official languages of the state of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiian Pidgin is spoken by many Hawaiʻi residents in everyday conversation and is often used in advertising targeted toward locals in Hawaiʻi.

Native speakers: 600,000 (2012)

Native to: Hawai‘i, United States

Content: Extensive website 

 

And Maltese Sign Language

it's a young sign language of Malta. It developed into its modern form c. 1980 with the establishment of the first deaf club in Malta and subsequently with its use in education for the deaf.

 

Content: Video - Why study the bible

Yes, the website is very effective in attracting interested ones. The July broadcast mentioned that about 250 Bible study requests are received daily. By my calculations, that is almost 92,000 Bible study requests a year! When I heard the daily figure the first time, it sounded impressive, but when I calculated the total number a year, I was just blown away. So now I think the website is a very important tool not only for our use, but also in spreading the good news.

It’s amazing that the website is being translated in a language that is spoken by only 1,500 - 2,100 persons. This shows that Jehovah wants everyone to hear the message and that we are not motivated by financial gain.
