| there it is in its original language - 'Good Morning' in Naturim, the language of the Amadii |
There has always always been some sort of way for kids (especially girls) to jabber while in the company of adults without the adults understanding a darn word that is being said.Ememberay Igpay Atinlay? Not making heads or tales of this gibberish? Ask a Baby Boomer to translate.
Hivow ivabivout Ivivy Tivalk?.... Same?.... In this case, consult a Gen X-er.
Today's youth have relied on text & IM acronyms at their disposal when trying to pull a fast one on their elders. But then those self same elders found the social network pot o gold, Facebook, and learned how to text in order to keep tabs on their kids and now OMG they can cyberspeak with the best of 'em LOL... J/K kids are still much better at it. Either way, the parents of today clearly know too much. So how then to conspire right under their noses?
Go old school. I mean reeeeeeeeeeeeeally old. Yep, way before this millenium! Hard to believe there was life then, huh. Actually, I am talking about going somewhere around 'oneu-annen sekkls' before the dawn of of the Common Age - to the time of the Amadii, the sea folk of Amadun. Described as nymphs, elves, faeries, you name it, their language had a little bit of everything, and looks to have links to the later Romance Languages. Though only a few thousand words of it have been discovered so far, the Amadii language, Naturim, boasts a rich and logical alphabet and numeric system. The words tend to run long, but the same can be said of Ent..... or Dutch for that matter!
Have a 'potenn lum,'

P.S. Naturim classes will be taught as part of Siren School's Fae Folk camps in 2012
