Translating Dune

[Caid Ivik]

Not sure if anybody here can read this, but anyway - I found translating Dune into Church Slavonic of the 15th century quite rewarding in terms of fun. One also learns a bit of Latin along the process.

I can't understand it but impressive work!

Good job

I assume this is the language?

любо! (lubo!)

I mean "like" (in Old Slavonic).

What can I say... wow. I studied OCS at the University exactly 20 years ago, and I can more or less imagine the amount of work required to pull of such a feat. Congrats!

Thanks, in fact after 2 years I regretted writing it with later orthography (ѫ > ꙋ and the like), but it is still more comprehensible than anything else I wrote in the time...

I'm still working on the Terminology of Imperium (Словесезнанïе Царствïа), which is one of the harder parts.
