Izkaironki

Vowels
In Izkaironki there are only five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and they are pronounced like in Spanish, never like in English. In addition, in some context, it is pronounced the vowel ə, a neutre vowel like in English the. However, some dialects have eight vowels, because ending -e and -o are pronounced ɛ and ɔ; and some dialects do not have u, they pronounced it y, like in French voulu.

Φιτζεν δυγύ ζαβα ικα ζαβα λυττυζας, σατιβυ Γραεκιαβυ, κιριδιτὐα βυ θυβεντινιτ, ζαβα φυγαντεσκινιτ ικα ζαβα νἰινιτ βιλών. Ναρκίς ωηωσυν διτὐα.

(Many years ago, in the ancient Greece, there was a young, very proud and nice boy. He was called Narcis)

Ζαβα βιλαναρ βυλάζιγιφ ύλτεχιν βεἁμιτζεν διτυρετ, βαrε υλτυ εκ ιτζακιτζεν διτὐα ωσγύκ, νε Γαδα Εκω ιζκενιακα καπτάιενα υλώζ ιδισγωλας.

(Many girls fell in love with him like fools, but he rejected them all, even Godness Echo couldn't captivate his heart)

Βυ δἰωμαβυ, αγρωνἁντ ιριρμαν, βυκ ιβαλταρι πχωμπιτζεν διγί ικα, πεπχωμπιρμαν-ι λᾳλεγάιενι νυνίνιτιλ, σιακα βυ πτεκικ ιηα ῃ αζrακνιτζεν διγί. Κυλκυμ εκτελαγυς κιριδιτὐα βυ λἰαμαηαρεν βιλωναρεν πτεκικ, λυβάνκιγιφ. Ακῃνα ιωνβεακαρεν λἰαμαηιβιλα șιδιτὐα ζιζατίνιτικ.

(One day, walking through the field, he approached to a river and, when he approched there to drink, he saw an image which surprised him. On the water there was an image of a beautiful boy, perfect. The beauty of that face was wonderful)

Γάτιχιν παδζιτζεν διγί παἅιενα, βαrε κυλκυμ εκτελαγυς ἁθ κιριδιτὐα ακικ ιωνβεάκ ᾦπενιρμαν μκιλαγ γιρεμβω, βαrε ιλ ιζαἱδιτὐα ιδας. Ναρκίς ενγαπιτζεν διγί λαζυνακιγ, ικα ακυ βιλών υλτυρακα ῃ ενγαπιτζεν διγί γιρεμβω. Βαrε, σιμπιρμαν ῃ ανιδιτὐαλα τᾆșάιενες ικα εκτελαρια φεφτινιρμαν λαζυνακιγ, πτεκα ᾳσιβιριτζεν διγί.

(He tried to talk to her, but on the water there was only that face opening its mouth, too, but it told him nothing. Narcis held out his hand, and that boy held his hand to him, too. But, when it looked like he was about to touch him and he touched witer, the image disappeared).

Φρακ δἰωμυ șιδιτὐα χαζταβινιτ, γυιζίν πιεσλιλε rεκυιτζεν διτὐα. Νε σκυτιτζεν διτὐα Εκῳζ ᾆτζεκαγ ιηα παδζιτζεν διγί ιλ αἅιενα ύλτεχιν ζαβα βεἁμιτζεν διτὐαλα ικα εράιενα șω ιηις εκτελαβὐα σιδιτὐα, εrβᾴνιγιφ șιδιτὐαλα υλώζ ζεφτεζας. Βαrε Εκῳζ ᾆτζέκαγιρ ἁθ βυρδυσκ ιηιζτυσκ Ναρκίς υτ-υτ ᾳ ιτζακιτζεν διτὐα κενζωșλιτζεν διτυρετ.

(Everyday the same thing, it always happened like that. He even didn't listen to Echo's voice which was trying to tell him she was in love with him and warn him that the image he saw on the water was his reflection. But from Echo's voice only the words with which Narcis rejected her could go out).

Βυ δἰωμαβυ, Ναρκίς, ακῃνα ιβαλτεω λἰαμαηιβιλίκιζι βαλεζωμεν, ιβαλταριε τυμιτζεν διγί συγανδιρμαν șιδιτὐαλα υνικυψι ιηις κενφιτζεν διτὐα. Εκτελαηαγα, șεγșετζεν διγί ακας ζεφτέζ ικα, έζιγιφ, περμυνιτζεν διγί.

(One day, Narcis, gone mad by that beauty of the river, hurled himself into the river thinking that it was the only thing he could do. Down the water, he looked for that reflection and, finally, he drown)

Ικα ακαβυ βκειεβαβυ, ὑεr Ναρκίς πrωζιτζεν διγί αν εζκαλαλ γαδιρμαν υλώζ ζεφτεζας ικα ὑεr, έζιγιφ διρτιτζεν διγί, βυ ζαβα νἴισαρ αμνύκ ι ῃϧκιτζεν διγίζ, Ναρκισαρεν αμνυκυσκ.

(And in that place, where Narcis spent so many hours looking at his reflection and where, finally, died, some very nice flowers were born, the flowers of Narcis)
