That's an idea! In Wenedyk (UTF-8):

"Womień punie si mędu, prokód portretar mąd. Par onie ił popła
szpac ku imażeni prowięczar, rzeniór, męciór, bajar, nakłar,
izłar, pieszczór, kębrar, wycięźlar, ściołar, kawałór i
ludzi. Kart prze mrocie, ił dziekoprze, kód labirynt pacięci
liniar szekwie imażeń łu faczeje."

"The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be
born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future
or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."
     — G'Kar quoting G'Quon, Babylon 5
