Indo-Portuguese Version Of The Scriptures <ref name="term_45040" />
<p> Indo-Portuguese is a dialect spoken by the Portuguese settlers and their descendants in [[Ceylon]] and various parts of the Indian seas. A translation of a part of the [[Scripture]] into this dialect dates back to the year 1817, when the Wesleyan missionary, Newstead, stationed at Negombo, in Ceylon, commenced a translation of the New Test. for the benefit of this people, which was printed at London in 1826. A second edition appeared at [[Colombo]] in 1831, and the [[Pentateuch]] and Psalms were printed in 1833. A revised edition of the New Test. was published in 1853. (B.P.) </p>
