In Gevey:
Mik iñgleske nedz jaakra ë zharhi-skone, mañ ke nets te ë zharhi-skone
mik - if (switch conjunction)
iñgleske - English (subject noun)
nets - for (possessive coordinating conjunction)
jaakra - god (subject noun)
ë - is (equative verb)
skone - good (adjective)
zharhi - just enough, perfect (selective adjective anchor pronoun)
man - then (switch conjunction)
ke - it (subject personal pronoun)
te - I (subject personal pronoun)
Of course, the citizens of Gevilla would certainly disagree: God would
naturally speak "gheve" - English being just some mad constructed
language invented by a small group of acedemics and their drinking
friends who should know better.
