Ayeri: Ang mea tavisaya dipakanas sang paronayāng sa yomareng miran men-nama tiyayam naranoas.

I guess the person in question would still object that our languages are not extraordinary enough to count. IMHO people who think that anything fictional is an idiotic waste of time should be left to themselves, any effort to proselytize them is a waste of time as well.
