:chn: Mandarin

如果他们想知道我死亡了怎么样,就告诉他们:《还生气了》。
Rúguǒ tāmen xiǎng zhīdào wǒ sǐwángle zěnmeyàng, jìu gàosu tāmen: “Hái shēngqì le”.
if 3PL want know 1SG die-PERF how, then tell 3PL: "still angry PART"
If they want to know how I died, tell them: "still angry"

This is a little clumsy, maybe someone can come up with a more elegant solution.

:deu: German

Wenn sie fragen, wie ich gestorben bin, dann sag ihnen: "Immer noch wütend"
[vɛn ziː ˈfʁaːgn̩, viː ʔɪç gəˈʃtɔɐ̯bən bɪn, dan zaːk ˈʔiːnən: "ˈʔɪmɐ nɔχ ˈvyːtʰənt]
when 3PL.NOM ask-3PL, how 1SG.NOM die-PP AUX.PST.1SG, then tell-IMP.2SG 3PL.DAT: "still still angry"

If they ask how I died, tell them: still angry.

Note that this sentence is ungrammatical in descriptive grammar: A classifier like "ándegas" (furious) cannot stand alone. However, as this is a spoken sentence it's fine, albeit a little odd.

"When they want the reason of my death, you will say to them that I was still angry."

(This uses maré, the second person plural pronoun ─ but that was just how I imagined it; mar, the singular informal, or afakó, the singular formal, would both also work.)

Houston, we have pharyngealization. Officially, now. Should probably update the phonology post to talk about it. Eventually.

Rireinutire does not have oratio obliqua. Instead, oratio directa is used, preceded by the quotative particle hi.
