Miscellaneous Translations
This is a page for whatever translations I've done into Lasat, as well as original texts written in Lasat.
Fanfic-Based Translations:
- Chapters 2-12 of The Lasat Language Project translate dialogue from chapters of Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft and Moonchild (Little Ghost), in cases where the Lasat dialogue consists of a majority of the chapter.
- Various chapters of Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft also contain shorter snippets of Lasat dialogue.
- Although there are fewer of those short snippets in Moonchild (Little Ghost), there's one or two, and of course you can see the context for the translations in The Lasat Language Project.
- For a fanfic that is more heavily focused on the Lasat language itself, there's also talking heads, in which all of Zeb's dialogue is in Lasat.
- I also made a podfic of talking heads - like an audiobook for fanfics - if you want to hear Lasat spoken (mostly) as intended.
Other Translations
These are translations that do not appear in fanfic, although they may be of a fannish nature. They will take the following format:

The Last Message
This is, apparently, the last message aired by interwar Polish Radio. I thought it would be very appropriate for Lasats, it definitely feels like the sort of thing that would have happened during the Imperial massacre. I adapted the location and names to ones that closer fit things theoretical Lasat speakers might be familiar with, and adapted the name "Hel" to Lasat phonology.
"Hello! Hello! Can you hear us? This is our last message. Today, German troops entered Warsaw. Our thoughts are with the Polish soldiers fighting on Hel and all the other soldiers, wherever they are. Poland has not perished yet! Long live Poland!"

Drums in the Deep

Litany Against Fear
From Dune by Frank Herbert.
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."Ve zivafadh orra.

Ring Verse
From The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein.
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

All that is Gold
From The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein.
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;

The Gates to Hell
The start of Canto 3 of Dante's Inferno.
"Through me the way into the suffering city, for me the way into the eternal pain, for me the way among the lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; my creator was divine authority, the highest wisdom, and the first love. Before me there were no created things if not eternal, I endure eternally.

Dialogue
A short original dialogue between two senators, Tombafampe and Nuadu, speaking to the leadership of Lasan.This one is formatted a little differently, due to the nature of the dialogue.

Annoying Things
This is an original text in which a Lasat has just been asked about things that annoy them. The word for "annoy", roskir, also means "worry".
"Things that annoy me? How (do) I start... These shitting Imperials, for one. When they leave, all Lasan will celebrate. I'm tired of fighting, and I haven't eaten for two days. They are making us starve, really. Aya, and the Empire is blocking our messages, we can't talk. And the noise! All the explosions, every night, all night, wake me up. I want to sleep! I worry myself always - (what) if they kill my family? The Empire should stop meddling with our planet! Well, what else...? Bad weather. Now (it's) too dusty. I want more rain, it('s) too dry. The Empire's making fires everywhere. The plants won't grow! How can we grow more food?"

Historical Event
This is an original text about a historical event - in this case, the massacre on Lasan. It's perhaps the longest text I've written directly in Lasat, rather than translating from English..
"In the time of Queen Ayonmasyi, the Galactic Republic became the Galactic Empire. Because Lasan was far away from the Galactic Centre, and because Lasan didn't join the Galactic Republic or the Seperatists, many people thought that Lasan was safe from the conflict. But (that) wasn't true. The Empire became more selfish and more cruel. More planets lost, and the Empire grew like rot. It even defeated the Wookies, and many of them became slaves. And after, the Empire came to Lasan. First they pretended they wanted peace. They promised money and strength, if Lasan joined the Empire and gave the whole planet to the Empire. They promised trade and metals and weapons. But they asked too much of Lasan, and Lasan refused.
So, the Empire attacked. They blocked Lasan's roads and trade. They made Lasan starve. They trapped Lasan and when Lasan refused again, the Empire revealed their worst weapon: T-7s. They are like guns, but worse, because they shred only living creatures - only machines and buildings remain. T-7s shredded hundreds of people shooting once, and every Stormtrooper had a T-7. If they didn't kill Lasats, they trapped them and brought them to concentration camps.
All Lasan died. All? No. Some Lasats love across the Galaxy. Some Lasats live to tell their stories. And more - the prophecy of Lira San is true! A safe place for Lasats to love. It's far away, but it's real. Hope lives! Lira San lives! Lasan will live again!"

During Queen Ayonmasyi-GEN, Galaxy-GEN Republic become-PST Galaxy-GEN Empire-ACC. Because Lasan, Galaxy-GEN centre-ABL far, and because Lasan join-PST NEG Galaxy-GEN Republic-ACC or Seperatist-PL-ACC, many person-PL think-PST that Lasan COP.PST safe conflict-ABL. But true NEG. Empire become-PST more selfish and more cruel. More planet-PL lose-PST, and Empire grow-PST like rot-IPF-ACC. 3 defeat also Wookiee-PL, and many 3PL.GEN become-PST slave-PL-ACC. And after, Empire come-PST Lasan-LOC. First 3PL pretend-PST 3PL want-PST peace-ACC. 3PL promise-PST money-PL-ACC and strong-ACC, if Lasan join-PST Empire and give-PST all planet-ACC Empire-DAT. 3PL promise-PST trade-IPF-ACC and metal-PL-ACC and weapon-PL-ACC. But 3PL ask-PST too_much Lasan-GEN, and Lasan refuse-PST.
So, Empire attack-PST. 3PL block Lasan-GEN road-PL-ACC and trade-IPF-ACC. 3PL do-PST Lasan-ACC starve. 3PL trap-PST Lasan-ACC and when Lasan refuse more, Empire reveal-PST 3PL.GEN most bad weapon-PL-ACC: Teeseven-PL. 3PL like gun-PL-ACC, but more bad, because 3PL shred only live-IPF creature-PL-ACC - only machine-PL and building-PL remain-PST. Teeseven-PL shred-PST sixty_four-PL.GEN person-PL-ACC shoot-IPF once, and all Stormtrooper-PL have-PST Teeseven-PL-ACC. If 3PL kill-PST NEG Lasat-PL-ACC, 3PL trap-PST 3PL.ACC and carry-PST 3PL.ACC prison-PL-DAT.
All Lasan die-PST. All? NEG! Some Lasat-PL live Galaxy-LOC across. Some Lasat-PL live tell 3PL.GEN story-PL-ACC. And more - prophecy Lira San-GEN true! Safe place for Lasat-PL live. 3 far, but 3 true. Hope live! Lira San live! Lasan live-FUT more!
