This thread is dedicated to translating texts other than heroic legends and short poems. I wish to explore the full stylistic reach of dragontongue, and its suitability to rarer forms of text.
For instance, consider this quote:
---
Faal Avaan Maljunaar do Brom drey zorox nilveysun do pogaan wundun.
Us kiinsewundun veysun kriist voth luft wah lok. Pogaas do pahii dein yolrii.
Veysun gaar lot yolos ahrk bo naal fus.
Mindin daar fin dahikke agaan pah yolrii. Nust govey mah wah gol, ol dreh fin sahqo yolriideiniik. Voth laat do suleykii veysun nimaar bo nol su wah vedsenil.
Ko daal veysun ov qahii wah spaan nol frin nos do su. Nii bo voth viingii wah hofkiin pindaar kolos nii saraan.
This translates directly back to English as:
---
The United Small-Kingdoms of North created a void-ship of many voyages.
Before the voyage's beginning the ship stands on the ground with its face to the sky. Much of its entirety holds fire-essence. The ship unleashes a great flame and is made to fly by the force.
After this, the pushers have burned all of their fire-essence. They are removed and fall to the earth, as does the red fire-essence container. With the last of its power the ship itself flies out of the air into the blackness of the void.
During the return, the ship relies on its armor plating to shield it from the hot strike of air. It flies using its wings to its home plain, where it waits.
What unlikely meanings will you convey in draconic? Creativity, stretching of definitions and linguistic trickery are all encouraged!
