In Tokcir (aka NGL), with traditional verb system.
Dikava sase à tokes: xomava òl tok.
dik-a-v-a : fight-2nd person-imperative-present
sase : death
à : of
tok-es : language-plural
xom-a-v-a : create-2nd person-imperative-present
òl : a/an/some (indefinite article)
tok : language
Using PVS would be rendered as:
Da dika sase à tokes: da xoma òl tok.
Where {da} is the present imperative proverb.
Using VTT, we will have:
Vu xa dik sase à tokes: vu xa xom òl tok.
Where {vu} is you-singular, and {xa} is the VTT justative modal.
Probably usign {ni}: first person inclusive, would be better.
(all letters have their IPA values, except for <x> which sounds /S/
All words stressed on first syllable).
