Okay, here we go with Wenedyk. It is my first translation into that language
since an already hopelessly outdated Pater Noster, so be mild!

> 1) This tavern/bar isn't as good as it used to be.
> 2) What are you doing? I told you to leave them where they were!
> 3) I would embrace the world if I could.
> 4) The cat ate the mouse I gave her like a tiger [would].
> 5) Yes, I've heard you, and no, I don't want to buy it.
> 6) Welcome! Here's your room key. -- Thank you. -- You're welcome.
> 7) Sir, could I please have a glass of water?
> 8) Your mother was a prostitute. (Or equally insulting idiom.)

In the Venedic text,
read £ as l-stroke
ã as a-ogonek
e~ as e-ogonek
n' as n-acutus
z' as z-acutus
Or better, come and see it the way it really looks like:

The X-SAMPA not 100 % correct, but at least gives an impression. I'll try to
record something, but I have never done that before, so it might take a while.
That makes 11 new words. Thanks, Christian!
