After more than half a century of civil unrest, cruel military rule, unspeakable atrocities, and displaced people groups, we are witnessing a crack in the door of this isolated country. Myanmar, with its 142 recognized people groups speaking 131 different languages, is fractured on political and ethnic levels. 54 people groups remain unreached, and Christians continue to be ruthlessly persecuted. Nevertheless, the Church is growing and the number one request is for Bibles and Christian resources.

The need to equip Myanmar's millions is imperative. The Burmese Treasures library of digital resources launches this multi-ministry effort to equip believers with a tool that can be shared and distributed on devices such as personal computers, tablets, smart phones, and Mp3 players. Burmese Treasures contains bibles, the Jesus film in two languages, the Hope Video, the Story of Jesus for Children, literacy tools, and a variety of Gospel recordings for inspiration, teaching and evangelism.

The People's Republic of China is now the world’s most populated country with well over 1 billion people. Long before the 1949 Communist takeover, China was closed to the gospel, both because the cross was seen as a symbol of foreign oppression and because of sheer logistics. Now, with the explosive growth of Christianity and the rise of thousands of house churches, the need for Bibles and resources is unprecedented. Conservative estimates are that there are more than 100,000 believers in China – most still without Bibles. Moreover, China is emerging as a world leader in technology making the digital option the obvious method for equipping the Chinese churches with the resources they desperately need.

Since 2001, the Digital Bible Society has been serving the Chinese church with the production and distribution of Chinese Treasures – a digital Bible library loaded with a variety of Chinese Bibles, books, commentaries, tools, and resources contributed by over 30 organizations all beautifully presented in both Simplified and Traditional typeface. These free and free-to-copy libraries have placed priceless resources in the hands of millions of believers, enquirers, and leaders.

The Korean Treasures Library consists of resource and media that reflect both dialects of South Korea. Korean, the standard language of both South Korea and North Korea, is based on the dialect of the area around Seoul, though the northern standard after the Korean War has been influenced by the dialect of P'yŏngyang.

The separation of the two Korean states has resulted in increasing differences among the dialects that have emerged over time. Since the allies of the newly founded nations split the Korean peninsula in half after 1945, the newly formed Korean nations have since borrowed vocabulary extensively from their respective allies. As the Soviet Union helped industrialize North Korea and establish it as a communist state, the North Koreans therefore borrowed a number of Russian terms. Likewise, since the United States helped South Korea extensively to develop militarily, economically, and politically, South Koreans therefore borrowed extensively from English. The differences among northern and southern dialects have become so significant that many North Korean defectors reportedly have had great difficulty communicating with South Koreans after having initially settled into South Korea.

Christianity in Korea includes both Protestantism and Catholicism, accounting for 8.6 million and 5.3 million members, respectively. The growth of both denominations was gradual before 1945. In that year, approximately 2% of the population was Christian. Rapid growth ensued after the war, when Korea was freed from Japanese occupation by the Allies: by 1991, 18.4% of the population (8.0 million) was Protestant, and 6.7% (2.5 million) was Catholic. The Catholic Church has increased its membership by 70% in the ten years leading up to 2007. Numerous unorthodox sects, such as the Unification Church founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon, have also developed in Korea.

As of 2014, about 30% of the South Korean population is Christian.

The Marathi Treasures Library is a free-to-copy resource that consists of biblical resource and media created for the Marathi speaking people of India. It contains material from multiple organizations.

Marathi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly by around 83.1 million Marathi people of Maharashtra, India. It is the official language and co-official language in the Maharashtra and Goa states of Western India, respectively, and is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India. With 83.1 million speakers in 2019, Marathi ranks 10th in the list of most spoken languages in the world. Marathi has the third largest number of native speakers in India, after Hindi and Bengali. The language has some of the oldest literature of all modern Indian languages, dating back to around 600 AD. The major dialects of Marathi are Standard Marathi and the Varhadi dialect. Koli and Malvani Konkani have been heavily influenced by Marathi varieties.

Marathi is one of those languages that are less known abroad, simply because of the smaller amount of emigration from the Indian state of Maharashtra. It may be that Marathi coexisted with KANNADA as a spoken language for an extended period during the first millennium AD, and that heavy influence from both Kannada and Telugu led to its rather rapid differentiation from Sanskrit, as compared with the more conservative Hindi. Standard Marathi is based on dialects used by academics and the print media. Indic scholars distinguish 42 dialects of spoken Marathi. Dialects bordering other major language areas have many properties in common with those languages, further differentiating them from standard spoken Marathi. The bulk of the variation within these dialects is primarily lexical and phonological. Although the number of dialects is considerable, the degree of intelligibility within these dialects is relatively high.
