I Am at My Ease - Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ

I am at my ease
in my own house.
What disguise
do I need?


[Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ]

aya gesvase tsosedve
aqua otseli galitsode hawina.
gado igolisdodi-adisgalodione
aya uduladase?

Note: This may look like Cherokee (Tsalagi), but it is not. It is a constructed language based on Cherokee vocabulary and a very simple, Esperanto-like grammar. The name of the language is Udugi (ꭴꮪꭹ), which means "hope." I believe that, as the generations pass, it is the best hope to preserve at least some lexical elements of the Cherokee/Tsalagi language, Your comments will be very welcome either here in the blog, or by e-mail: exolinguist at gmail dot com. Thanks. ꮹꮩ.
