Scripts

The kateinu yiréb is the modern script used to write Asha'ille. There is even a basic font available!

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

Corpus

Note: The texts below are maintained as they were originally written. Asha'ille grammar has likely changed in some details since the older texts were written. The grammar description is the canonical reference, should any text here disagree with it.

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.

The "Relay" column in the table below designates the number of the relay, as well as distinguishes which group organized the relay:

#
Relay list (a spinoff of the CONLANG-L list)
I#
Inverse relay (in which someone else writes in your conlang!)
LCC#
Language Creation Conference
Z#
Zompist forum
CBB
Conlanger forum

The "Date" column in the table below corresponds to when I wrote the text; sometimes I translated an old relay after it had officially completed. If the date has an asterisk following it, that means I was not a relay participant; I merely translated the relay text later.

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. ;)

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.
