The Kassirian Language--A Translation Guide for the Average Speaker

This is a very basic (and currently incomplete) guide to the ancient language of Kassir. Many people, although Arynethian is the worldwide language, choose to know their native tongue well, if not have it be their only language entirely. Knowing it will aid us in making our character seems more realistic. After all, if your character should want to speak his/her/its native language, I'd rather have the native language written rather than the Arynethian words said to be spoken in Kassirian. To make it simpler, the Arynethian (English) translation or phrase is what is listed, and the respective Kassirian word follows with a pronunciation
