Right now I have only one: the T-shirt sentence. In Reman it is:
Kombat i delecho i lengar : feng leng !
/kOm'bat ide'leSjo i'lENgar 'fENg 'lENg/
and in "Roumant":
Bat-te contre a mouert das lingues : bastie-ti une lingue.
/'bat@ cO~tra'mwEr da'lE~g bas'titi yn'lE~g/
Even without explanations, you can see the differences, besides the difference
in vocabulary used. "Roumant" looks more "classical" than Reman, at least as a
Romance language :) .
