Sample Texts
Harrison reports that La Langue Bleue Bolak gives the Paternoster as:
Nea per ev seri in sil!
Vea nom ey santigui!
Vea regu ey komi!
Vea vil ey makui in sil, so il greo!
Nea Per, ev ra seri in silu,
vea nom sy santigui,
vea regu ey komi,
vea vil ey makui il gev so in sil.
Ev givo day nes pan taged ana.
It ev solvi nae fansu ana
so ne solvo aye re unifanso na.
It ev nu lefti na to temt,
lo ev bevri na om mal.
The only other sample on the Web is via Jay Bowk's Auxilingua Project:
Ak vop sfermed pro spes maned, if om pobl to pobl, ne ei mnoka pfo an am lane.
"What an immense advantage for mankind, if from people to people we could communicate through the same language."
