CONLANG T-Shirt: "Your yahzick could be in this mesto."

"Your yahzick could be in this mesto."

I'm not sure what to use for "language".  The word 'yahzick' is "tongue"
(the body part).  Since Nadsat's an English relex, I think that's the best
candidate, and extending it to mean "tongue, a language", is okay.  However,
there's also 'govoreet', "to speak or talk"; 'skazat', "say"; and 'slovo',
"word" to choose from.

"Your language here."  :-)


I also tried to translate the phrase into Barsoomian or Lapine, but neither
language was developed enough for me to do so.
