As the members of the community attain literacy in their native tongue, this same phonemic alphabet is used to teach the people to speak and write phonemically in the national language. The use of the identical alphabet for both languages encourages an easy transition from one tongue to another. In this way can the doors to cross-cultural and intranational community be opened for a two-way, mutually beneficial exchange ER -
