sanila texts
babel text
Danuka nupe ura edi sani da e hatese lugu.
Loda so šigo oda sa čame ekisi, su aveše wenulu ni sipu Šinaru e ba dičope suna.
Su osu, “Te lapi, te la ti jema kurupi e vetinu nupe su.”
Su osu tada, “Te lapi, te la ti jema masiwa e temono hi iseni ni remeda, e te la ti jema þupi ci la ti, ži so dosuva la ti sowi nifanu to danuka nupe.”
Dagane lapi kivi ci so uza masiwa e temono, ku supo oda jema oru me.
Dagane osu, “Te esi, su ti ba dakuli da, e su zeti ura sani da, e di ba tuli seri to þe ku su ti leši me.”
Te lapi, te šigo kivi la e žukara sani su, ci so su ti unota þota va so osu či.
Tuda dagane dosuva su ti sa suna sowi nifanu to danuka nupe, e su ti uleši so jema masiwa.
Tuda þupi su ba Babelu, þegi dagane žukara sani to danuka nupe. Dagane dosuva su ti sa suna sowi nifanu to danuka nupe.
conworkshop translations
Below are several Sanila sentences I posted on ConWorkShop, back when I was gravitated to the idea of shoving all my conlangs into contrived pieces of software instead of just writing documents about them. These were written in chronological order from Febuary 2018 to February 2019, and as such are written in an older version of the language (and some also contain errors), so they have been altered to conform to modern Sanila.
