After a gruesome timberwolf attack, Rarity awakes to find herself cornered by a strange bipedal creature. At least it's a better way to die than timberwolves. That is, assuming the creature is even hostile.
This is a short story snippet I wrote in my free-time to get it out of my system. And yes, the Greek on the cover image is real Greek that actually says something.
Here's a guide to the two constructed languages used in this fic.

That was a neat little read. I remember doing similar sorts of writing for linguistics classes years back, but nothing this elaborate... or cute. Nice work!
Not bad,sir.
your equestrian language dound like belonging to african group... which certainly would be separate from proto-indian origins.

It definitely has that sort of feel to it. That's likely because African languages and Polynesian languages are the ones I have the least experience with, and thus sound the most "alien" to my brain. So Equestrian here likely sounds like what my brain thinks said language families sound like.

BTW, my notes on Equestrian got lost ages ago, but I posted a quick guide on the languages just now as a blog post.
I liked this!^_^ It's really good!^_^ Hope to see a sequel sometime soon!^_^
P.S. It's revealed in "Sounds of Silence" that the ponies official language is "ponish".
P.S.S. Also called "modern ponish" to distinguish it from the "old ponish" and "ancient ponish" of Starswirl's time.

That was actually revealed in Season 7, if memory serves, during a CMC episode. But yeah! I initially had plans for a sequel, but I can't put a narrative together that's satisfying enough. Maybe someday.
This was a fun read! Especially with the cheat sheets.
I hadn't even though of it sounding like from an African language group but it kind of does, doesn't it? I thought the particular sounds that Ahe'eyo was making sounded pretty horse-like too. What with the frequent h's, labials and nasals. And the lack of consonant clusters it makes it seem more airy.
I'd bet money a longer mouth from having a muzzle would mean more places for vowel articulation but keeping it simple for a story was definitely bet.
Very fun!
Well this is an interesting little story I came across. Love the pacing itself as it has me curious on what happened to Rarity up to this point.
The interaction itself doesnt feel convulated but very meaningful.
It appeared to have been written awhile ago and completed to boot so Ill enjoy this for what it is.
Oh it appears Im not the only one to use Swahili prununiations haha.
Though it appears that I have mixed the two with myself thinking Richard used Swahili/ Russian prununiation.
And Rarity using Navajo and Japanese prununiation.
This was a cute little story if woefully short, its how it goes sometimes though huh? Still this was enjoyable!

Clever indeed! Those were my thoughts as well though I mistaken that 'Airyness' for Navajo myself.

Thanks for reading!! This is my favorite story I've worked on, but also my most underappreciated, I think. Always glad to see readers enjoying it.
fact that no body is interested in:
"ihayo ekwabon palua" means to give equities twice
9939516
In what language?
9939566
Hawaiian
9940653
I doubt that... NONE of those words are accurate to Hawaiian according to a Hawaiian-English Dictionary I checked. Don't always believe Google translate, lol, it translated both words for equities as "Well, fair".
And that is how you get on my good side. Well done!
Someone went the extra mile.
