We are orphans and fatherless; our mothers are like widows.
“We are orphans and fatherless; our mothers are like widows.” skrives ပမ့ၢ် ပှၤဖိၣ်ဃဲ ဒီးပပၢ် တအိၣ်ဘၣ် ပမိၢ် မၤသး ဒ်ပှၤမုၣ်ကမဲ အသိးန့ၣ်လီၤ på Sgaw Karen, lest på en grov måte som pa may phgā hpòh xeh däw pa pa ta òh bà pa moh mā thä da phgā mù ga meh a thöh này lāw. Knyaw hjelper deg å lese og forstå ord, ikke å si dem høyt. Karen er et tonespråk, så lydene i engelske bokstaver er bare en grov hjelp.
