Gnu Doyng, is there a chinese form of fuzhou hua? I'm a fuzhounese, but i have difficult time reading romanized fuzhounese, it would be really helpful if you put up a chinese version of fuzhounese. I know there is one, cus i saw it on a teaching website... —unsigned by 66.21.135.231 04:44, 26 November 2006.

This is where I put Min Dong Bible text before the "cdo.wikisource.org" is granted. --GnuDoyng 11:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
