Examples

• "A nof difrant langwij de iina di worl an iina evri wan a dem, di wod dem miin sopm, so piipl kyan andastan dem."

  There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning,

• "Kaaz wi tel unu bout Jiizas an unu tek di Uoli Spirit we Gad gi unu an unu biliiv di mesij we wi priich. Bot mek sumadi nyuu kom an tel unu bout wan difrant Jiizas an unu redi fi lisn an tek di spirit we dem a gi an biliiv di mesij we dem a priich."

  For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.
