Writing

Scripts

The kateinu yiréb is the modern script used to write Asha'ille.

Another script, no longer in use, is the sarapin.

Corpus

McGuffey Readers

Based on the revised editions of McGuffey's classic graded readers, you can practice your Asha'ille reading skills with these monolingual readers. While not available yet, I will also be making these texts into the interlinear format, for those of you who can't read straight Asha'ille just yet. ;)

Interlinear Texts

To better understand Asha'ille sentence structure, you can study these interlinear texts. In these pages, each sentence is broken down into the smallest components of meaning. They are also translated word-for-word, as well as for overall meaning.

Relays

Conlang relays are run every now and then. Like the children's game of telephone, the goal is more or less to see how contorted a story can become as it's translated from one language to another.

Readers

For practice in Asha'ille, try translating the Review section from either language into the other. Since the actual translations are included at the bottom of the interlinearizations, you can self-correct your translations.
