Tairezazh: Dashen laists seizh ai dashen kendz seizh. "To have a second language is to have second soul/mind." I purposefully made the two phrases more entirely parallel 'cos I think that makes it sound more like an easily memorized saying. If you prefer it to sound more technical/legalistic (think a robotic philosopher-accountant!) you could go for the gerund instead; _Ez dashent laists seizh ai ez dashent kendz seizh_ "The possession of a second language is the possession of a second soul/mind".
