Sutii!
Hello all! Im sort of a conlang-list-lurker, but I
thought I would pop out this time just to introduce my
new (sort of) conlang, Bakoyu, on the celebration day
marking its 1,000th word. Thought I would include the
first translation of the babel text, little summary of
the languge and maybe even a song I wrote, if I find
the space. Also thought I would give a little summary
of the language. I think I will do this in separate
emails. Here it goes-
Babel text (I will try this interlinear, sorry if it
doesnt come out right after I send the email)
