Wrik Chatterjee Well I forgot that I won for four days. I'd do a Bangla round, but I feel like Christian, Billy, or Andy would demolish it in, like, twenty minutes. So here you go, from what happens to be my favorite language family on Earth:
Философияда авайди тек са проблем я, амани жува-жув кьин я.
Философияда авайди тек са проблем я, амани жува-жув кьин я.
Wrik Chatterjee Tagging Jake, Andy, Arief, Sarah, Helene, Zev (because screw you), Ed, Maria, Ava, Nicolás, Edmund, Brad, Thatcher, Justyna, Bérnard, and lots of other people.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter The Cyrillic script above is the new round.

Wrik Chatterjee Well that one's fairly transparent, but you also need to pay attention to the word's ending
Adrian Baxt-Dent Sally: I found this...
International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses: Friday 17 October to Sunday 19 October 2014

Adrian Baxt-Dent тек wouldn't be tech, as in technology would it? (Going for the easy stuff here...)
Jake Kissinger I reminded Wrik, and then he said "I was going to post my *insert language family here* one--oh, $#!+, I just told you!" so I'll stay out of it until someone guesses the language family, though it should be pretty obvious. 
Adrian Baxt-Dent Wrik Chatterjee, it isn't Russian is it? I am not all that familiar (i.e., I have no idea) bout other Cyrilic scripted languages. 
Wrik Chatterjee Nah, not as far as I know. It would really help to identify the language. I think I gave you a hint in that this language is a member of my absolute favorite language family on Earth. And no, it isn't Russian.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Hmm ic...
But still, not an enormous event. All the hotels including the expensive ones are fully booked. From ibis budget to hyatt. Even in Dandenong!! Very unusual.

Adrian Baxt-Dent No, Dandenong is a thriving tourist hot spot. (please note, I am being silly. No offense to Dandenongians.)
Wrik Chatterjee Bam, you got it. Now you have a one-in-32 chance of getting this language on the first try.
yayThatcher Ó Donnabháin xD just going through a list of northeast caucasian languages. I know of some of them, but I never paid much attention to the group
Thatcher Ó Donnabháin Here yothers: http://www.peterlin.pl/lezgi/chal.html This could be of great help.
Wrik Chatterjee Here's a descriptive treatment for the language; granted, you can probably access only part of it here, but it might help you: http://books.google.com/books?id=jBC6fSMh6wYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=a+grammar+of+lezgian&hl=en&sa=X&ei=F8EwVN6DFoO2yATP8YHoBQ&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=a%20grammar%20of%20lezgian&f=false
Wrik Chatterjee And I *think* you might just be able to figure out the sentence's first half from context alone; if not, you really only need one word.
Thatcher Ó Donnabháin So according to wikipedia, inessive is "at", "in", "during". So "In philosophy (avajdi) lonely (sa) problem is, (amani žuva-žuv k'in) is"
Wrik Chatterjee Erm, no. Really the last word is the most important, but it's also sorta tricky. Maybe it'll help you to know that this is a line from one of my favorite writers a Lezgi-speaking friend I made over the Internet translated.
Wrik Chatterjee Really the important parts here to point out are the "yourself," "die," and the ergativity, and also what you had from the first half.
Thatcher Ó Donnabháin Yeah, do a passage that you can explain okay in another language than english. Doesn't have to be obscure, but something that you could explain and understand how it works enough to do this.
Adrian Baxt-Dent Congratulations Edmund Yong. I got distracted, or I am sure I would have stalcjuried (yeah...however it is spelled) (Actually, I had no idea...)
