Lord's Prayer: Trithe Feyns

Latin	High Arithide	Phonetic
Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.	Fābā rikin, saluminn hero, histamesit illos ayn. Enura lisgas ayn. Reskeresit deiros ayn, halaginn saluminnena. Emnatim hareg omnat kreruras, nam kansaruras rīkei syndrereg, syndrīkeine syndironei kansariena. On latagave rikeg orgrei, nig makraruras rīkeg vokyrorō. Amen.

Social Contract: Artrem Etilidas

The following is a translation of the first paragraph and a footnote of Chapter 4, Book 4 of Du contrat social by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

French	Arithide	Phonetic
Nous n’avons nuls monuments bien assurés des premiers temps de Rome ; il y a même grande apparence que la plupart des choses qu’on en débite sont des fables* ; et en général la partie la plus instructive des annales des peuples, qui est l'histoire de leur établissement, est celle qui nous manque le plus. L’expérience nous apprend tous les jours de quelles causes naissent les révolutions des empires; mais comme il ne se forme plus de peuples, nous n’avons guère que des conjectures pour expliquer comment ils se sont formés. Le nom de Rome qu’on prétend venir de Romulus est grec, et signifie force ; le nom de Numa est grec aussi, et signifie Loi. Quelle apparence que les deux premiers rois de cette ville aient porté d’avance des noms si bien relatifs à ce qu’ils ont fait?	Rik ou Roma ne lesim nevos in peribale fensegrēs eg nieve; dairusa lethēs a sēholē libren-gēs* he balvalos myra lepsere; on, lefkithē, nabathereryns ablum in sagsissastim tikos, antopoi ethūstaroris soestos, ou othrakastere. Davartos pannatē heiravaes in verkonneg-tēs a zeike silos eg karsi; sina eri nabatherēs ou thūstimeve van, rik ou nossenim a thūste roithos paro verim febradei bale. Roma meta Romulus o avene pathryns illos ou Hellenero didekos meta julle; Numa meta illos ou sines Hellenero dīmotos meta julle. Sit allas in irīga des oin ja irō agna lethēs sūs ognē filamos sena illos eg souna balvalos ou isseda?	(tbc)

Sinews of Peace: Valonin Tistēs

This is a translation of an excerpt of Winston Churchill's Sinews of Peace speech, more commonly known as the Iron Curtain speech.

English	Arithide	Phonetic>
A shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the Allied victory. Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organization intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and proselytizing tendencies. I have a strong admiration and regard for the valiant Russian people and for my wartime comrade, Marshal Stalin. There is deep sympathy and goodwill in Britain - and I doubt not here also - towards the peoples of all the Russias and a resolve to persevere through many differences and rebuffs in establishing lasting friendships. We understand the Russian need to be secure on her western frontiers by the removal of all possibility of German aggression. We welcome Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world. We welcome her flag upon the seas. Above all, we welcome constant, frequent and growing contacts between the Russian people and our own people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is my duty however, for I am sure you would wish me to state the facts as I see them to you, to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an "iron curtain" has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.

Les feuilles mortes: Revēs Ossim

The following is a translation of Yves Montand's famous song.

French	Arithide	Phonetic
Oh, je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes Des jours heureux ou nous étions amis. En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle Et le soleil plus brûlent qu'aujourd'hui. Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi. Et le vent du nord les emporte Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli. Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié La chanson que tu me chantais... C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble Toi tu m'aimais, et je t'aimais Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais. Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment Tout doucement sans faire de bruit Et la mer efface sur le sable Les pas des amants désunis.	Ō, ao sofionēs hē ria natēs eg Fenesunei ognē deire. Sit nevum, legnatō ra arie ou rīsoreri Nam simar ou lasioreri. Revēs ossim ou tauvol ibat sthere Tygnura, abyssav Revēs ossim ou tauvol ibat sthere Eg fenesēs sines perhistēs.

Denim ou verdesē bat soni, Deg sofii aos, ag sofii de. Sina arie ou kesofionēs eg optage, Rea kinnē, jou nie. Nam as a aratum in Ebreronerin tos eg niare.	(tbc)

Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: Ersag, Abrad, Nīs nam Bosen

This is a translation of an excerpt of Winston Churchill's Blood Toil Tears and Sweat speech.

English	Arithide	Phonetic
I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."	House i ou ok therepsyrros i kelyna midrēs iena palle: skaribale lethos ou verim ersag, abrad, nīs nam buos. Rikin ultum ou kantadurastim polyns stritos eg sene.
