A Collection of Texts in Pseudo-English

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)

Haved the aul hyoomenez aun the hoal erth wun langgwij end wun dyelekt. Hezhoored thai nyoo the eest, end kaked thai e wyd plain en e land, thus gepahthed thai thair. Mauked thai wee goa zeech brikez yes end wee goa waif brikez yes thurelee. Haved thai brik perp stoan, end haved thai slym perp maurter.

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

Naut fechood wee uther hyoomenez. Delooched fyt end tym thai the langgwijez. Stezhauched thai mamelezes end berdezes the soundez. But eryzed the ingglish, that been wee the langgwij, en e difrent maner. Stezaused hee hoal end perfikt en e singgel breth. Naut skeloded wee the langgwij, destaused hee.

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.
