New Book of Austronesian Stories Published in Mandarin with Only Austronesian Titles and Illustrated by Austronesian Children
Only the story titles are in the original Austronesian languages. You will note the same problem -- they do not capitalize or make complete sentences with the Austronesian languages so as if to say it cannot be written in complete sentences but only the sounds represented.
