"Fight linguistic extinction, invent a language!"
In Druni:
"Tá degrimóva sholárun khoryáte, sholóva deykyáte!"
Tá: non-declinable definite article [the].
degrimóva: accusative singular noun from "degrím" [estinction].
sholárun: genitive plural noun from "shól" [language]
khoryáte: third person singular active imperative from "khórya" [to
battle/combat].
sholóva: accusative singular noun from "shól" [language].
deykyáte: third person singular active imperative from "déykya" [to invent].
Hence, literally: "The extinction of languages combat, a language invent!"
