Translate a Phrase into Seglandic

Postby Segland » Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:00 pm

Interested by Azrael's "translate a phrase into standard Azraen" thread, I decided I'd create a similar thread, but instead for the Seglandic language. Again, it is Seglandic, not Seglish.

Post a phrase in English, and I will reply with its closest possible translation into Seglandic. If you would like a pronunciation of the Seglandic phrase, please specify in your post. Our government is interested in spreading Seglish culture and giving foreign nations a general idea of our language, so here goes.

In order, followed by the plural:
Le felis, les felise
Le canis, les canise
Le voinc, les voinces
Le çompane, les çompanes
Le saladde, les saladdes
L'aqat, les aqats


Edit: I added the definite articles as well as the pluralized versions.

Our current records have a text in Old Scripture Seglandisian (OSciSeg), a language that our linguists consider close to Seglandic and its derivatives. The text reads as it follows:

"Felisae amelium homanim compane sunt; aqat ot voincat saladde, preferiti manggere darent est. Septentrio marcas in volunes quo pri".

We believe the translation is:
"Cats are the best friends of humans; water and fish salad, are the favourite foods of them. The south marks indicate us such."

To improve our knowledge of OSciSeg, we'd like a translation to modern and Old Seglandic for the above phrase. Thank you.

Here is an Old Seglandic translation, which is very rough and may contain inconsistencies because very few records of it are left.

Felishe ame homae superir* compane, aqua avoin inget*, superir* inget desel. Sho este sepetrio inscribia.

*Indicates that it is a rough translation. Inget = food, superir = best.

It seems similar to Old Scripture Seglandisian, and it literally translates to: "Cats are best human friends, water fish food, best foods them. Indicate by south marks."

Here is a modern Seglandic translation:

Felise ere homo superio çompanes, aqa (e) voinc saladde, ere dae prefìes consummablès. Le futhois inscribia fole traum.

Literally translates to: Cats are human's best companions, water and fish salad, are their preferred food. The south marks indicate such.

That is the longest sentence I've ever written in Seglandic, and it took me 30 minutes to construct it since I had to go back and forth between NS and my Microsoft Word document with all the Seglandic vocabulary and grammar rules. :p
