*In emails and letters you must use pronouns because it needs to be made clear on who you are talking to and the fact the Karani teachers teach this from when Karani speakers learn to write and type letters and emails. Something that can be avoided otherwise like in literature, movies, music (lyrics), etc.

Cool! I like the idioms and other realism. (I've never gotten that far... stare )

And I read this,
Quote:
Zanoria- Primitive, uncool, out-of-date

and immediately tasted a carrot. Ugh... hehe.

Haha! I think I borrowed that word from a dialectical word that originally meant carrot. Come to think of it.
Yeah, I think this is my most developed conlang I've ever created.

The recordings are coming but they'll be on either Tuesday or Thursday next week. Hopefully!

If All the World Were Paper by Anonymous

If all the world were paper,
And all the sea were ink,
If all the trees were bread and cheese,
What would we have to drink?

Duhi Kuen Senpu Seigai Kami

Duhi kuen senpu seigai kami,
Duhi kuen senpu umi sabaiche
Duhi kuen senpu kauchi re oostii
Kamas mono (napiwachi) nozkaiz shoan?
