| English Paraphrase 1 | The world had one language. |

| Paraphrase 2 | While men moved east, they found a plain in Shinar. In the plain they settled. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 3 | They said to one another "Let us bake bricks in the sun." Brick replaced stone. Tar took the place of mortar. |
|---|
| Paraphrase 4 | Then they said "let us build a city for us with a tower. Let the tower reach to heaven. Then we will become famous and not be destroyed. |

| Paraphrase 5 | But then God came to Earth to see the city and tower. |

| Paraphrase 6 | He then said "As one people they can do anything. |

| Notes 1 | Notice how, like french, the adjective follows the object. Same rule for adverbs. |
|---|
| Notes 2 | Pretty self explanatory. |
|---|
| Notes 3 | note how 'va' added to end of verbs implies a 'let us' kind of attitude. This I borrowed from Japanese (which I am studying). |
|---|
| Notes 4 | Same as above |
|---|
| Notes 5 | Pretty simple. |
|---|
| Notes 6 | Simple |
|---|
| Notes 7 | I am thinking of making the 'i must' a form of conjugation. |
|---|
| Notes 8 | Pretty simple. |
|---|
| Notes 9 | I like the ease of which Rassih Khang (kh sounds like a more quiet version of the northern german ch (like baCH)) molds itself into a storytelling manner. |
