Hmm...in Rokbeigalmki:
AoléLesnám uzoi-dadeiyus oi-ilkao.
Which is actually slightly different, it means "artistic-creation of
languages makes [people/someone] happy every-where/when".
AOLÉ = artistic-creation (construct form)
LESNÁ|M = language|s (construct form)
UZ = it (neuter)
OI = present-routine tense
DA_ = (causative, from DAL "give")
DEIYUS = happiness
(DADEIYUS = [to] gladden)
OI- = (same tense marker as before, used now in both a time and place
"general, all over / routinely" sense)
ILKAO = everywhere-and-everywhen
