Ngama-1500s, amaBhayibheli ayengekho ezilimini eziningi. Abantu abafundile noma abacebile kuphela ababengayifunda ngesiHeberu, isiGreki, noma isiLatini.

Kepha isazi esigama linguWilliam Tyndale sasinesiqiniseko sokuthi wonke umuntu ufanelwe ukufinyelela emiBhalweni. Futhi-ke waqala ukulihumushela olimini lwakhe: isiNgisi.

Iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye, uTyndale wayebalekela ukuboshwa ngenkathi eqhubeka nokuhumusha iBhayibheli lokuqala lesiNgisi.
