Smooth translation:

I encourage you to critique human languages.  They are difficult and
illogical, unlike the Advena language.  No one should speak human
languages.  Advena is logical and sufficient for you [or, anyone].  Does
anyone want to ask me a question about anything?

Watching you,
I am,
Slamdakwaq (Waterlover)

[Note Slamdakwaq is a poor stylist -- according to classical Advena
rhetoric, each new sentence (topic marker) resets the pronouns.  Thus,
after establishing that fu represents human language, Slamdakwaq must,
*until starting a new topic* refer to any other languages as fu!.  But
after starting a new topic, he should use fu again before establishing
fu!. We can read from this that Slamdakwaq is probably not formally
educated -- he (she?) was probably assigned to our list as a punishment or
a reward, not because of any linguistic knowledge. Alien nepotism? Who
knows how the Advena would see this assignment?]
