This is my new A Posteriori Conlang(not the Celtic/Germanic one, but a new
one).  I'll reveal more about it in the near future, but for now..the first
few verses of the Babel text!

Zoß lei Zer zeneirun una sol Link  Los Omos eirun eil Orienz, eß illos
inkonzeraß una Pflänzei in Shinar, eß ineil abißeirun. Illos tischerun los
"Nos fachamu laßeris, eß nos zorramu los." Illos üßiliseirun laßeris loco
lei Läffis, eß Pißumen loco lei Mozer.  Illos tischerun los, "Nos fachamu
unu Stat, kum una Tur, pfe produscherebit eil Keil."

A few notes on the language - This is the northern dialect.  In this
dialect, the languages name is spelt 'Läßin'.  The southern dialect spells
it 'Lessinu' or 'Leßinu'.  In the north of the southern dialect, it is
sometimes spelt 'Läßinu', which, for some reason, is the version I usually
use.

There are three major spelling conventions - those that use the characters
|ä|, |ö|, and |ü|, as well as |ß|, those that use |e|, |oe|, |y|, and |ß|,
and those that use |e|, |oe|, |y|, |ss|.

It's spoken in the middle of Germany.  No-one's quite sure how it got there.
