Preliminary data on language "Eastern" [For Valles' fantasy project]
 
#2
Okay, getting this written down in a somewhat public space.

We've added a new phrase, or at least a proto-phrase:

Das Dheda: Luko! Dhera za gazera alu!

Darth Vader: Luke! I (Formal, male) your father am/is!

Darth Vader: Luke! I am your father!

New Vocabulary

dhera -- I (formal, male)

gazera -- father

za -- your (intimate/condescending)

al- -- to be

thisera -- mother

nirau -- cat

dadhagi -- a type of drum, either a bodhran or tympani
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
