Learning the language of a people group is a thrilling investment and will allow you into their hearts and homes.

Kayah Li is the name of the language that many Karenni people speak.  Two .pdf files are available to help those who need some assistance in interacting with Kayah speakers:
1. "Helpful Phrases" will be most useful to resettlement agencies, school teachers, etc.  For those unfamiliar with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), this is the place to start.
2. "Learning Kayah" makes use of the International Phonetic Alphabet and includes sentence drills.  With a little investment of time to familiarize yourself with the sounds and a little practice, it's a very useful language learning book for those who want to study Kayah more in-depth.

While all the materials are based on the Western Kayah Li dialect, they can still be understood by other Kayah speaking dialects.  Most of the refugees who are being resettled are from the Eastern dialect but are familiarized with the Western dialect and writing system while in the refugee camp.
