Babel text



As a sample of how danga looks, here is the Tower of Babel text in 
Toki Pona and danga.  I don't use spaces except around names and 
foreign words and after punctuation.  Toki Pona doesn't use capital 
letters except in names, and I have copied this usage.  This may 
change.

1. ma ali li jo e toki wan en sama. 
      zecuatuedancaigi. 
2. jan ali li kama tan nasin pi kama suno, li kama lon ma Sinale, li 
awen lon ni. 
      vacuadundondaindunqi, adundize Sinale, atodibo. 
3. jan li toki e ni: "o kama! mi mute o pali e kiwen tomo, o seli e

And here it is without Toki Pona: 
1. zecuatuedancaigi. 
2. vacuadundondaindunqi, adundize Sinale, atodibo. 
3. vaadanebu: "odun! bacootaejazo, oganebi." 
4. vacoadanebo: "odun! bacootaezazoezokehi. wiinzokeadimanjo. 
5. odeinbacoadunhi! bapeciebo: bacoaun. bacoadizecu." 
6. vaman Yawe adunma, aponezazoezokeinvahinco. 
7. vaman Yawe adanebo: "vaboatuezeca, atuedangi, ataezoke. 
duboabicoauntacogan. bapedoma, basaedaninvacobo. 
ovaapaciedaninvagin." 
8. vaman Yawe ataebo: vacuaxuciva, adizeco, auncitaezezo. 
9. deinzezoboa Babe donbo: vaman Yawe asaedaninvacu. donzezo Babe 
anvaman Yawe adoevadozeco.
