The Fourth Linguifex Relay was a conlang relay, a game of conlingual telephone, on Linguifex. The relay text was written in Wiobian by the relaymaster IlL. The text passed through eight translations before being retranslated into Wiobian.

Texts

The original text was provided by IlL in his conlang the Wiobian language. The text is a religious poem, written after a devastating tsunami, describing the impermanence of worldly matters and exhorting the audience to be charitable.

ei! jån' kähne Jündemruoger - O how quickly the sculpture of life

The relay ran from July 8th until July 24th, and included 9 languages on the wiki (Wiobian, Sceptrian, Van, Kandi, Alaia, Dyrel, Minhast, I Kronurum and Rennic).

Original text

Original Wiobian IPA English

ei! jån' kähne Jündemruoger
snirre ure nungnung Troh;
Sioner röbes ƕieme Puoger',
ind' enwülze Þafte quoh'.
ei! lind mause bückne mungel,

Kuobs mes pepen, Ƕeiges miten.

/ˈʔionəm xʷind bəˈnusːəç ˈcuŋːəl/
/kuobç meç ˈpeːpən ˈxʷeigəç ˈmiːtən/

O how quickly the sculpture of life
Shatters into tiny little fragments!
The splendor of the king on his throne
Is completely swept away by sea-waves.
Ye who are come hither stationed here,
By Heaven's grace ye sojourn.
Just like us, ye act in order to be judged;
Therefore let us be generous to the pauper, and give to our fellow man.

Sceptrian

Sceptrian IPA English

O Monarch of Greatness, the great garden of life has broken the harmony

You are the one whom the spirit was looking for, and he made a request,
He made a request to the Great Spirit of the Heavens,
And then he gave me (this) **custom;
