Re: Who wants some conlang audio? Yeah, I thought you did.

These are wonderful, Thomas, and you read them so naturally.  You have a
gift for this, and a good speaking voice.  I think I like the Jafo text the
best, but I think you read the first one the best.  I don't think anybody,
listening to these casually, would guess that these are not natural
languages and you the native speaker!
