My translation doesn't come CLOSE to doing justice to the original mistranslation...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

For anyone that doesn't want to (or can't) translate the whole thing, just look at this sentence:

FALUKAN: Ayngeyä helutral nìwotx lu pum awngeyä.

That should give it away.

AHAHA this is great! ;D

QuoteAyngeyä helutral nìwotx lu pum awngeyä.
Question: Shouldn't it be ayoeyä instead of awngeyä? Or are you doing that to add to the wrongness?

Pure win.

I was loading the page on the train on my phone, and while it was loading I was discussing with him what it might be - I said that it's probably something nerdy and hilarious, and he replied with "yeah, it's probably AYB or something"... and Lo and behold, it is!

If you want to be true to the poor translation, shouldn't it be kelkutral in the singular?

Grammar seems too good. :P

I'd have been tempted to go with "ayngeyä fraykelutral lu pum ayoeru" with a badly done plural ("all your bases"), and a messed up possessive ("are belong to us") by combine your "are ours" construction with the usual "to have" construction.

It's hard to come up with something grammatically wrong!  It goes against everything I stand for, no matter how much I try.

Yeah that was an unintentional grammatical mistake, not an intentional one.

Right, time to look through it more thoroughly:

Wouldn't "war was beginning" be more like Tsam sngarmä'ì?

Um... that's it... I sort of expected me to have more comments, but never mind :P
