I now have a bit ot text to show how the script looks written:
http://student.csumb.edu/dh/garciabarryjames/world/maalamawin.gif
The sentence reads:
Maalámawin ánda ca saalángalgat can sínung - I speak the Saalangal
language.
The breakdown:
Ma.alámaw.in
act.trig.speak.pres
ánda
I.trig
ca
non.trig.part
saalángal.gat
saalangal.adj
can
linker
sínung
language
Note: c = /tS/
In this case, it could have either gone actor or object focus (would put
the trigger on "saalangalgat can sinung"). Either way is correct, but if a
Saalangal were speaking about another person, the object focus would be
used.
