“Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding comes with long life.” is written တၢ်ကူၣ်သ့အိၣ်ဝဲ ဒီးပှၤသးပှၢ် ဒီးတၢ်သူၣ်ဆးသးဆး အိၣ်ဝဲ ဒီးအါနံၤအါသီလီၤ in Sgaw Karen, read in a rough way as ta koò thay òh weh däw phgā thä phga däw ta thoò hsä thä hsä òh weh däw ah nēe ah thaw lāw. Knyaw helps you read and understand words, not say them out loud. Karen is a tone language, so the English-letter sounds are only a rough help.
