New Book Published of Austronesian Stories In Mandarin, Illustrated by Austronesian Children

Only the story titles are in the original Austronesian languages. You will note the same problem -- they do not capitalize or make complete sentences with the Austronesian languages so as if to say it cannot be written in complete sentences but only the sounds represented.

I nam tu tama sia dihanin,
（我們的天父）
（衣－ㄋㄤn－肚－大媽－西阿－底哈您）
Mahtuang su a ngan atumashaingun,
Mahtuang a kasu kunastutin min ungti,
Mahtuang su a iniliskinan kapimaupaun mas bunun nastutin.
Masdang isia dihanin.
Saivavang kaimin aipmas nakaunun madami. Pin ukavang inamtu inulivan,
Mas dang madami tu mapin unka mas itu duma bunun tu inulivan.
Katu pun sainun kaimin sia kuang sidang kadavang kaimin sia hanitu.
Aupa kasu hai taimi dalah taimi tamasad taimi taishang.
Sau habashabas. Amin.
