Feeling lazy, so I decide to kill the proverbial two birds with the
proverbial one stone. T-Shirt and daily translation.
English: Fight linguistic extinction... invent a language!
amman iar: nasivas in urgoirvar iardainnion ermaethuliel... nasivas in iar
erdaghiel
nathya: inhocorwar yadhano nas mesulus... inya nas ethagus
Both of these may be too long for a T-Shirt so I would suggest the second
half of the phrase only.
English: Invent a language!
amman iar: nasivas in iar erdaghiel
nathya: inya nas ethagus
When we are ready, I can provide these using my tal eglar conscript.
