A Collection of Texts in Hin

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)

Ñaa pan rajaaz beeng squeğw zhiiqu ğer tzam squeğw chaw chaz ñiin hağw chaz dalozh. Kiziqu pan tyez hag tyot squeğw chaw, hağw ñaim pan tyez thashitz duugw dooğw quağw chaw, bigej shtatzang pan tyez zbiif. Char pan tyez tzukhwojğwu zhaf jangw ku lakam hağw shib zhaf jangw ku ratzukhwoj daj lakam huquon. Ñaa pan tyez tzukhwoj pasizh shiğw chaw, hağw ñaa pan tyez shquazbesh pasizh zhiwaw chaw.

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

Squath giğep ku rajaaz zhal. Ñufub pan liikhw hağw pop rañiin squeğw tyez wiz. Zhgwatzof pan tyez rabeb squeğw rasizaij hağw rachad wiz. Tyiib thağwauty pan hin squeğw, quish rain ñiin squeğw ku wiz, dooğw rish zdaağ chaw. Zhdamuw pan thah tzam hağw ñiğwaw dooğw sazhaap gwoch chaw. Squath satyaum pan ñiin squeğw ku, zaringw pan thah.

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 0.02 seconds; writing the texts 0.03 seconds.
