RE: New member
Greetings,
qaltho'...and thank you for your warm response.
Truth be known, I would appreciate these messages NOT being translated. Although I appreciate your concern, I think the best way to learn is to dive right in...these messages are excellent practice for me during some of the periods of "dead time" throughout the day.
And it's more fun!
I'm glad to see so many are so passionate about this tlhIngan Hol. I am a practicing Buddhist, and have learned a little bit of Pali for religious reasons. But even though Pali is a sonorous and perfect for lalDan and abstract philosophy, it is also very much a "dead" language, in that it has not changed much in 2600 years. Happily, I can see here that all of you have not only invigorated tlhIngan Hol but have actively caused it to blossom in less than a generation! As an amateur philologist, I must say majQa'!
Looking forward to more fascinating messages,
qoleQ
