Translation

I, your messenger, and servant of Kchaanee

Uufèm, the people with language,
have been brought to our recent attention.
Their path is their choice or maybe from the will of Kchishèn,
achieved with conversation or magic,
with or without their souls.
They are black or white,
good or evil.
Thus they are strange!

There are no snakes in the heaven of Pee and Seel.
That must be remember forever.
That must be remember by every woman and every man.
For that was once the word of Kchaanee,
that shall be and remain our word.

May Kchaanee be with us forever.
This took like forever!

But I'm really glad with the way it turned out, so I'll be posting a translation soon enough,

I'm so glad I finished it just in time,

WARNING:
DO NOT PRONOUNCE "PEE" THE WRONG WAY!!!
IT SHOULD BE "P-A(Y)"

EDIT:
fine-tuned the use of numbers a bit,

Wow, umlauts and grave accents and apostrophes! I really love the look of this language, and if I could pronounce it I would probably love the sound of it too.
