[RNLD] REQUEST: community-based language programs social media

[Randy J. LaPolla]

Hi Andrew,
The Rvwang community, a group in Kachin State in Northern Myanmar, is active on line, on YOUKU (e.g. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQ4OTY0MTUyNA==.html) and YOUTUBE (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk2VclhVY_c), on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Rawang-Rvwang-People-258557667551657/), a Rvwang song downloading site (https://www.emp3z.co/mp3/chan-khin-memà-jèjú-rvwang-song.html), even teaching Rvwang songs on Chordify (https://chordify.net/chords/rvwang-love-song-vngang-mekvma-bayzi-kong), and they have some blogs (e.g. http://rvwangmvring.blogspot.com, http://rvwang1.blogspot.com, http://www.rtgmyanmar.com).
There is the Rvwang Dictionary (Rawang Dictionary <http://rawang.webonary.org/>) which I created with a local member and they turned into an Android app (Rvwang Dictionary - Android Apps on Google Play <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sil>). They also have an app for the Rvwang translation of the Bible (Shànshér Kàru (Rvwang Bible) - Android Apps on Google Play <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rvwang.bible.committee.shansher.karu.rvwang>).

Hope this helps!

All the best,
Randy
