Description
This is an example text that I created for my newest conlang, Lumaseiuei [loo-mah-SAY-oo-ay], or [lu.mɑ.seɪ.u.eɪ].It is a text that is meant to chronicle/document the history of a conworld that goes with Lumaseiuei. Mind you, I made this all up and it took 2 hours to write, translate, and transcribe. Refer to my other deviation: Writing System - Lumaseiuei if you really want to translate it. I guarantee that there are mistakes.
Oh yes, it starts at the top right and goes left, drops down and goes right, drops down and goes left, etc. etc.
<<< WHAT DOES IT SAY???? >>>
English Order:
The only true entity worthy of worship is the ethereal, unseen force of nature, for nature has the power to destroy and to rebirth. Our people have witnessed the destruction that war and evil can bring on its solemn wings, but nature has been our guiding hand for eons.
We have erected our cities and our monuments to praise the Force, and it has become our sole purpose on an individual level. To give thanks to the Force. One cannot see it acting, but the Force is something present in everything. As rain falls to the ground and wind brushes through the trees, we feel it acting, but do not see it.
Lumaseiuei Order:
Is the higher being only worthy Wakani’atumu our worship (n). Is unseen powerful Wakani’atumu. Possesses power destructive and power rebirth it. Brought destruction war and evil. Saw the wings evil we. For eons has guided us nature.

Lumaseiuei Translation:
Numutei wůŭ maseiuei ‘ama taparu Wakani’atumu majje pupa’atuei. Numutei okute̊ ir̄aij Wakani’atumu. Parur̄ ir̄um uhumuju na ir̄um ematuteiju sem. Jumajai uhům kareimase na yamarxu. Okuyuri ha aeti yamarxuju jje. Lekar̄ ma:a’asai heram yů jje Wakani’atumu.

For some reason it reminds me of math formulas, but not in a bad way... I just love how you made it all flow together. And this is a really good translation considering how few words you have! I am amazed, really.

Haha, thank you! I would never associate math formulas with it, and I can't really see how, but I'll take the compliment!
I'm going to try and create an entire book in this language. Ambitious, I think. Time consuming too. First: I must get a leather-bound book.
Thanks, again!

It's just what it reminded me of....I really have no idea why either.
If you make a whole book in it, I will be astounded. But that seems like a really good goal!

Yeah...It seems like an entire book would be drastic. Mostly because I doubt I'll ever learn my language fluently and I definitely won't remember it when I'm 50.

o,o That's so amazing! Its so clean and pretty! You clearly put a lot of thought into making characters that would flow together. For some reason I didn't so each new word is an adventure trying to figure out how this character would go with that one and etc.
I'm almost at my 100 word mark though, so that's good!
