Yokohama: Yokohama Bunsha for the Bible Societies' Committee for Japan, 1897. — [1] 706 p.The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in Ainu. Translated out of the Greek. The Ainu language is unrelated to any other and today is spoken by only perhaps 100 people. Ainu is written both in the Japanese katakana characters, and in the Latin alphabet. Missionary work among the Ainu commenced in the late 1800's and is primarily due to the hard work of the Rev. John Batchelor, of the Church Missionary Society. He translated both the New Testament and the Book of Common Prayer into Ainu, and became the foremost expert in the people and their language of his day.
