#'''Intro:''' In theory, you should be able to get a good Minhast translation from the expatriate communities.  An added bonus is that many dialects are represented.  And if you’re pursuing a doctorate in Minhast dialects (like me), they provide an invaluable source of the Salmon Speaker dialect, a dialect that displays many conservative features.  Such a dialect would be a boon to someone working on the diachronics of the language.  Now the Salmon Speakers are renowned for other things besides their variety of Minhast, considered by many as a prestige dialect.  The Salmon Speakers are also known for their generosity and hospitality, and their cuisine is acknowledged to be among the finest in the world. But if you hire them for translation work, be careful not to of fend them.  Unfortunately, the Salmon Speakers have a dark side, namely they have a vindictive streak and can get very passive aggressive.  Unfortunately, my friend in Texas found out the hard way after he contracted out work to a Salmon Speaker to translate popular Western fairy tales to sell in Minhay, and ended up getting…A BAD MINHAST TRANSLATION!™

First of all, don’t buy this stupid MAGABanana book.  The publisher screws you over after they hire you for translation work, and these stories are pretty stupid anyway.  I don’t even know why I signed up for this contract!
