Longaksama kitsi - Brief update

Sjal naihti viiđa, međa longaksan bloogikad kaitsi etsi tuutsi ąŧademõ. Ireen oulauja loųi ono oran vaikod sjalke, kuu se riita oraasku on molin.
Hron amentanuuma se sehksa "tau" taudeku uųoi, aka amen siode erjuut eõ "sioli".

Sjal is still alive, even though I update this blog maybe once or twice a year. I go through long periods without doing anything in Sjal, but it's still a project I enjoy.
I'm thinking of renaming it to the word for "language" (Tau) like in many languages, and the name for the people would be just "people" (Sioli).
