Peshpeg: Difference between revisions

The Širkattarnaft was eventually adopted by the Peshpegs, to which they added diacritics and additional vowel signs to represent sounds not represented in the original orthography.  During the late 1870's, an Evangelist missionary, Aldous Green Huntly, sneaked into Minhay aboard a Chinese merchant vessel returning from the United States.  Hounded by hostile Gull Speakers who discovered him in the port city of Kissamut, he fled west, skirting around the major villages in Dog Speaker Country until he stumbled upon a Peshpeg settlement.  There, he was welcomed, and he began to preach and he successfully converted many of the villagers to the Evangelical sect.  He transcribed their language into a modified Latin script in order to translate the Bible to them.  The script came to be known as the Evanjalista, and soon this script was adopted by Peshpegs throughout Minhay, almost displacing the Širkattarnaft.
