The Bible translators, Matt and Rosemary Ulrich, began the Chamacoco New Testament project in Puerto Diana, on the edge of the Pantanal. They analyzed the sounds of the Chamacoco language and proposed a workable alphabet for these sounds. The Chamacoco community leaders and school teachers approved this alphabet and, once approved, the Ulrichs began the translation project. The Chamacoco New Testament would be published twelve years later in 1997.
