jiVoqu - Babel Text Profile	Advanced
Site jiVoqu Language jiVoqu Translator Mark McGrath Introduction This is the Babel text for a language I've spent a while developing. The language is called jiVoqu (that's j i V o q u , pronounced "jee-voe-koo"), and it employs grammar coding for everything except pronouns, proper nouns, the negator, and other little particles and articles. To prevent confusion if you're trying to figure it out word for word, jiVoqu uses postpositions, not prepositions. Pronounciation notes, jiVoqu->English: uu->w, c->sh, x->ch, zj->zh (French j), q->k or c or q, s->s or c ng->song sound also, all vowels are pronounced separately, therefore aa->ah-ah uu->w is distinguished from uu->oo-oo by a mark, therefore uù or úu or u'u -->oo-oo th->t-- (the 'h' after t denotes a lengthening of the t sound, almost like pronouncing 'h' right after 't'). Verse 1 Togi diji ji tayra hai esu ngi tongua togi upli moa qo. Verse 2 Togi Xen hai esu qirasi Roz hai yavorsu Qedem/ji esti duas, Roz hai asu geheva ji nasona Cin'ar fias togi Roz hai leyfu xiatzi. Verse 3 Togi unioi sapea hai voqu E lis tresa jas, "Uvasu! Syo ori zegu nia qo toqi fayru fayra jas." Togi ji nia hai esu Roz lis pira, togi ji zja hai esu Roz lis zegu qeza. Verse 4 Togi Roz hai voqu, "Uvasu! Roz ori zegu Syo voras zeria togi singa togi Xen lis roca ji sia fias, togi Syo ori fetu noma Syo voras, puui Syo hai ori esu haidiui ji feroca dui eqi tayra loras." Verse 5 Togi YHWH (Omna) hai uvasu unongas speqtu ji zeria qinaf ji muga qo dui Sapya (pu) hai zegu. Verse 6 Togi YHWH hai voqu, "Ngia speqtu, unioi nasona, togi ngi tongua eqi dui Roz voras, togi cia Roz esu hai qomansu fetu. Togi cirasi, Xen u ori esu haiuperu Roz duas, eqi qinaf Roz (ori) iu. Verse 7 Uvasu! Syo ori uvasu unongas togi Syo ori qonfauundu Roz lis tongua xiatzi, togi u ngi sapea ori qaytu ji tongua dui E lis tresa. Verse 8 Togi YHWH hai diuù Roz xiatzi duas ji feroca dui eqi tayra peras (through, rather than on), togi Roz hai uqomansu zegu ji zeria. Verse 9 Duixo hai nomu Xen "Babel" qxo xiatzi YHWH hai qanfouundu ji tongua dui eqi ji taira, togi xiatzi duas YHWH hai diuù Roz ji feroca dui eqi tayra peras. Notes 8 Note: The ù is aesthetic, 'u or no mark can also be used. These marks are to indicate that uu is not pronounced like a w in English, but like "oo-oo".
