“If any flaid, knowing the nature of Good and Evil..."

[Raphael]

The Almeopedia article on Irreanism

http://www.almeopedia.com/almeo.html?Irreanism

provides, if I haven't overlooked anything, provides exactly one direct quote from the founder of the religion, ʔirran:

“If any flaid, knowing the nature of Good and Evil, chooses Evil, I have nothing to say to him. But I have chosen the Good.”

I was wondering, what's that quote in the original Flaidish? In either the original alphabet or Latin transliteration.

Seriously, I'm not the kind of person who gets tattoos in writing systems they can't read, but if I would be that kind of person...

Liss flaid neck todde mellys churkysen yuunt gaar blaspo churket,

If any flaid, knowing the nature of Good and Evil, chooses Evil,

ʔokem zeckse vott neck.

I have nothing to say to him.

ʔok blaste frett mellt.

But I have chosen the Good.

phpBB unfortunately doesn't support the Verdurian alphabet.

Thank you!

I must say that I always hear Fladish in my head in a Swedish accent. It took a while for me to realize it doesn't even have the /h/ consonant.

Its spelling reflects those of the Germanic languages so I'm not suprised

It does reminds me strongly of specifically Dutch and Swedish. Although, as I mentioned, the most glaring difference with the Germanic languages is the lack of /h/ in Flaidish. (Although who knows, maybe the void was filled in some of the marginal Flaidish dialects... most likely IMO from /g/, which seems most likely across languages.)

Another thing I noticed is that the digraph "ck" actually looks rather like "kc" in the Verdurian alphabet.
