The "Be one of your conpeople" Thread

Post by Egerius »

On behalf of Ahzoh, I, Egerius, open the "Be one of your conpeople" Thread.
(N.B.: If this is not the right place, please move the thread - I think the conpeople part will be prevalent. Also, this is a great opportunity to flesh out one's conpeople.)
This thread is basically meant to discuss everyday things as a member of your conpeople in his or her conlang (adding a tiny English translation under the conlang).
It might be fair to advise any participants to pick only one con-alter-ego. If one wishes to write about another con people, he may do so in third-person view.
I will not require another pseudonym here. And as I'm lucky enough to have a nick deriving from a real name, I will stick to it. :P
Edit: An IPA transcription between the conlang and the English translation would be nice (but not mandatory) - I will add one to my posts soon.
Edit: As this thread has been created on Ahzoh's wish, he may add/modify rules.
Premodern concultures (= Medieval/Renaissance) are welcome and preferred!

Without further ado, let's get this thing rolling.

Me clamo Egerius et só dela citate Bonavallis. Iljá est buono et sont multas gente. La lingua ke parlo est Romanz, que est latinitate vecina.
[mɛ ˈkɾaːmɔ eˈd͡ʒɛːɾius e ˈso dela t͡ʃiˈtaːde ˈbwɔnaˌvalle] [iʎˈʎa ɛs ˈbwɔno e son ˈmuɫtaz ˈd͡ʒɛnte] [la ˈliŋgwa ke parlo es rɔˈmant͡s ˌkɛ ɛs latiniˈtaːde veˈt͡ʃiːna]
My name is Egerius and I am from the city Buonavalle. It is good here and here are many people. The language I speak is Romanz, which is close to Latin.

Ke potzo dicere plú? Nostru poplu non comet carne, sed Carnomannos, qui sunt barbarosos in aliquandas cosas.
[ke ˈpɔd͡zo ˈdi:t͡ʃeɾe ˈpɾu] [ˈnɔstɾu ˈpɔplu nɔn ˈcɔːme ˈcaɾne, sed caɾnoˈmannos ki ˌson ˈbarβaɾoz en aliˈkwandas ˈkɔ:zas]
What more can I say? Our people doesn't eat meat, but the Carnomans do, who are barbarous in certain things.

I try to make this text look as if the spelling isn't quite standardized, as it was with the Romance vernaculars in the Middle Ages; latinisms included.

I am Sumteuval and I speak Ljavelitjak, a dialect of Ythovatjak. I live on the moon Ljaveloskja, and my name comes from an Old Ythovatjak (Ysatosjka) word, sḿtuval, meaning "dream".

I don't like meat because it is too sweet here. Ljaveloskja meat ruined all meat for me after I started living here.

Panis, hoc est, frumento con aqua et pauco de sale in padella pones. Illa padella supre lo fogóne manerábet et quando todo est duro, habes pane.

Bread, that is, put wheat with water and a bit of salt into a pan. This pan must rest over the hearth and when everything is hard, you have bread.

This interests me. This "wheat" you speak of, where can I find it?
It is not sold in any of the major agricultural planets I know of, but maybe it seems like that because it has no translation in my language.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

On Earth, "frumento" is wheat. On Hra, we call it "khillah". At least, khillah is like wheat. Khillah has more sugar than wheat, and it is sweeter.

King? The Carnomans have kings who rule with an iron hand.

La gente facet votos caduno quattresimo anno.

We don't have kings here in Buonavalle, but four judges and a senate of 64 (representatives) (which we call "the Commodores").
The people vote every fourth year.

Nos beuemus la aqua, ke venit de montanjas; beuemus lo lacte de vaccas, spezialmente illos iffanes beuen illo con melem, porcá est dulce.
We drink the water which comes from the mountains; we drink the milk of the cows, especially children drink it with honey, because it's sweet.

Vecli et viri beuent aqua con poco de vino; illi Canomanni beuen "birra", ot commo li Saseluáni dicent, "ceruessa".
The elder people and men drink water with some wine; the Canomans drink "beer", or as the Saselva people say, "cerveza".
