A Collection of Texts in Nyoes

What follows is a collection of texts intended to illustrate the language in more natural and extended use than the glossed examples found in the grammar.

The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9)

Khilynn pozh nam sanzh tum mœg naj das, gap ñæmym, gap jakov, zhynw ñot kœj zhynw ñunañ. Mœnilynn pozh khœl zhaj dym nen sós, kœj gajynn pozh khœl vój shoñan tum dym vój vip, gap tanjym, kómom næshöğynn pozh khœl mang. Khæğynn pozh khœl kiwynn shœkh gözæm ğuñ kœj vindynn shœkh gözæm shógynz ğuñ. Khilynn pozh khœl gözæm ñœnyk khiğ, kœj khilynn pozh khœl ñutus ñœnyk mæfiñ.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

A Creation Myth

Nutætynn jus ğuñ sanzh, gap fansov. Sófinğynn pozh mod kœj wynñ nef ñot khœl. Khiğöwynn pozh khœl nef bóg bykhym kœj ñum. Junt pówinsynn pozh nef ñös, gap kuğul nef ñot ğuñ, tum dym vef wöj, gap wöful. Ğepösynn pozh jœkh, gap ñæm, kœj, gap shylæm, tum dym vef fósig, gap dœmul. Tedepynn pozh jus nef ñot ğuñ, kænævynn pozh jœkh.

We are not like other people. Their languages were shaped by struggle and time. They copied the sounds of beasts and birds, and they learned to speak like that. But our language arose in a different way. It was born whole and perfect in a single breath. Our language did not evolve; it was created.

Language creation took 0.04 seconds; writing the texts 0.04 seconds.
