La historia del hombre y su naufragio.

Naveg� este ombre en la mar, y durante navegaba,
vinio a esta isla, y se rompio su barca. Viv�a
alli varios a�os; y salvo-lo la Flota Real. A el
pregunt� el capitan: "Por que ay aqui las dos
iglesias?" Sab�a el capitan (que) van a iglesia
los Gal�s, pero tener dos iglesias dos es
absurdo! Indic� a la una iglesia y dixo: "Ahi,
voy a la iglesia los domingos." "Y la otra?"
pregunt� el capitan. "Oh, esta. Ahi no nunca
jamas voy a iglesia los domingos!"

In Modern Jovian (with some artistic license for the
sake of style...  such as to avoid the repetition of
|naehare|):

Son bliri, i Caembrindses.

I ended up with a few new words that I like, such as
|dowingu| [dA'viNg] "Sunday" or |naubrahu| [no'bra:x]
"shipwrecked", although for the latter I had to
neglect the original stress placement a bit...  but
_n�ufragus_ is rather irreducible into Jovian!
