Here's the Babel text in Speedtalk. first *with* the needed markers to
show the different types of sounds. Latin alphabet just can't handle
Speedtalk very elegantly.  :(

1. ei:bjef:j dhei/paahco-uu dje/cuu

2. a/?f:jaa/?pi) djo-cei/ei: "shinar" djuupue)

3. dou?p "a)kaa.\ei-\f:j djo-/duu-/" dau-?$$$e.) t|jaa.? dau-?i.:

4. ue\(dou?p "a):kau\~cou\? SsSkei). nrHa):HHHe(:rcaa/( ue\(kou/~rei

5. t|jei.i.poe:cou\? djca(:xHHHa/?au\~ngp

6. ei.ou?p " fau(HHHe~ce/o\zhhau\~bj  ue\(oe-)di./reia.:  mue-~rn|o\

8. ue\(no\:G  "Babel" uu\)ei.Gue-~cei/aauu  ue\(ei.ei/?pcau(  au):dhaa

Now the same passage but I'll take out all the differentiations so you
can get a better idea of how compact this is

1. eibjefj dheiaahcoo djecuu

2. afjaapi djoceiei "shinar" djuupue

3. doup "akaaeifj djoduu"

4  uedoup "akaucou $ke nrHaHercaa uekoure djei$auaa

5. tjeiipoecou djcacxHaaungp

6. eioup "fauHeceozhaubj ueoedireia muerno uecouruu$aou

7. ueeieipdauaa djaungdeipdhou
