Friday Flash Fiction: U gondola-pe

If you ask about artificial languages, or constructed, auxiliary or international languages as they're also known, most people will mention Esperanto as the most widely-spoken. There are others with equally long histories too, and each has its advantages. One such is Glosa, known as the most scientific language.

This is the Glosa translation of The Gondolier - its 22nd langauge.


U gondola-pe

Ex Gareth D Jones

U melano nasa de mi gondola ki glisa trans no-turba aqa de plu kanali. U glabronavi fo-funktio tem poli anua. Mode id pa fero plu viagia-pe epi plu aqa-via decivita per plu duce-manu de mi plu pre-parenta.

Intra paleo civita, u heli-kata sti feno u aqa u melano tinta banda inter plueleganti domi ex arena-li. Mi fo-spira u fresko aero de vespera.

Qe ali-lo habe ma kali de u-ci mira civita de plu kanali? Kron u navi kine dulcead id statio, mi pausa te vide ana kon hedo u kresce-skoto urani de Mars.

U fini
