Overview

The Ledo Kaili 1999 Edition is the first New Testament translation in the Ledo Kaili language, published by the Indonesian Bible Society (Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia). Ledo Kaili is a member of the Kaili-Pamona branch of the Malayo-Polynesian language family, spoken in Central Sulawesi, particularly in and around Palu, the provincial capital, as well as the Donggala and Sigi districts.
