My translation into Vozgian is also the first sample of this language I
present on the list.
Vozgian is a North-Slavonic language I started working on back in 1996. It
has two sister languages, samples of which will, no doubt, follow later. A
fourth one, that was supposed to be an Uralic/North-Slavonic language,
recently underwent active euthanasia.
I give three versions:
     - the Cyrillic one:
“&#1043;&#1086;&#1076;&#1077; &#1103;&#1079; &#1118;&#1072;&#1110;&#1084;&#1091;&#1093;&#1072;&#1118;
&#1089;&#1083;&#1086;h&#1091;, &#1091;&#1085;&#1091;
&#1079;&#1085;&#1072;&#1095;&#1077;þ &#1088;&#1091;&#1085;&#1086;
&#1076;&#1091;, &#1095;&#1091; &#1103;&#1079; h&#1091;&#1095;&#1077;&#1118;
&#1096;&#1091; &#1079;&#1085;&#1072;&#1095;&#1077;&#1087;þ&#1091;, &#1085;ä
&#1087;&#1086;&#1083;&#1077;&#1081; &#1110; &#1085;ä &#1084;ä&#1085;&#1077;&#1081;."
     - a transliteration with diacriticals:
“Gode jaz &#365;aimuha&#365; slohu, unu zna&#269;eþ runo du, &#269;u jaz
hu&#269;e&#365; šu zna&#269;epþu, nä
polei, nä mänei.”
     - a transliteration without diacriticals (neglect it, if possible):
“Gode jaz uaimuhau slohu, unu znaczeth runo du, czu jaz huczeu szu
znaczepthu, nae polei, nae maenei.”
