Re: Conlang T Shirt

I'm trying to decide which language to send my sentence in. Which sounds
the best?

dage tageaty d'esop'n neam
toma ilom delye teryek arya
nonbitandelenadezanan tanlikinekame

The first one is in a quirky, inconsistent personal language.  The middle
one is from a medium-developed sketch of a language with more consistency
to it, written under the influence of LeGuin's Kesh, high-school Russian,
and an article (from Scientific American?) about Creole grammars.  The
last one is from an old sketch in which I tried to make a language without
nouns :)
