The most part of Sora people today are Christians. At first, IPA-based graphics was used for writing christian texts, but later the orthography was simplified and the younger generation of Sora people uses Roman symbols only. The New Testament in Sora was published in old orthography, but the Bible exist in the new ortography only. Here we present one of the most important christian texts. It is “Lord’s Prayer”, or “Pater Noster” (Matthew 6: 9-13) in both old and new orthographies.
