In Chleweyish:
fonno fonno beysye cuttit ... fonno djomit
/"fOn:O "fOn:O "Bi:S@ "kut't_hIt'/
/"fOn:O "dj\o:mIt'/
fonno : language
beysyi : become extinct
cutti : actively oppose to something, make something against something
djomi : create, invent
-e : indicative verb ending
-it : imperative verb ending
Translating into English:
Languages are becoming extinct, stop it! create a language!
