The Language Creator
– from linguistic questionnaire to grammar, lexicon and texts.

A Collection of Texts in Aja

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)

टिः ङ्त़दिः दिदिः त़ू निच दुदिः त़िभ स़ीदिः सिः ह्यु स़ीबः न्युः शि ङ्यू नकःतु शि ॥ टिः टफ़दिः फ़िः नमि न्युवः स़ीऱ ऱि क्त़ः । ङ्यू टिः फ़ीदिः फ़िः युःदिः त़ानुटि नमि नःद़ सिः ह्यु । ऽअग्वि टिः टयुदिः फ़िः वि ॥ टिः नदिः फ़िः न्यूत़्युक़विःडिदिः मु फ़्यू ङ्यू न्यूत़्युक़विः जःदिः मु निऩ्यु फ़्यू ॥ टिः ङ्त़दिः फ़िः न्यूत़्युक़विः नाऩि सिः कडा । ङ्यू टिः ङ्त़दिः फ़िः निःचिङ न्युयऽअ सिः कडा ॥

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

ऩिऩिहुः फ़्यू ब्युदिः त़ू ॥ टिः ऱऽइदिः न ङ्यू न्यूव क्व्युः स़ीबः फ़िः ॥ टिः क्विःवःदिः फ़िः ऩु स़ीदिः निसःच ङ्यू ना ॥ ङ्तु टिः मिःफ़िदिः द्युः स़ीबः क़व्युदिः त़ाज स़ीऱ नमि ञ्युःदिः त़्युच्षः सिः ह्यु ॥ टिः क्विग्विदिः फ़िः दुदिः ङ्यू षत़्यूदिः नमि हदिः त़िहिङ्वि सिः ह्यु ॥ टिः जक़वाहुः द्युः स़ीबः । टिः णदिदिः फ़िः ॥

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.
