i’ve finished something that i’ve been working on quite a bit recently: the babel text in enaselvai. if you aren’t familiar with it, the babel text is genesis 11:1-9, and it tells the story of how god gave people different languages and spread them over the earth.
for any conlanger (person who makes constructed languages), it’s a traditional thing to translate the babel text into his or her language. it’s sort of symbolic…in fact, one webring (“scattered tongues”) of conlangers refers to the text, and there’s a whole archive (the babel text archive) of the passage in different constructed languages. so, i thought i had better get around to it, and i did.
there are two files that you can look at if you’re interested (these are links):
enaselvai-english verse by verse
enaselvai-english word by word with grammatical help
make sure to make your browser big enough for the second one to ensure that you don’t cause line wraps.
let me know what you think!
