If you can read this text, then you will still struggle reading Kovolak's We Are All People, But Language? His book is completely written using archaic and ancient English dialect and symbols, that are even harder than this! It was his first English book.

Excerpt from the prologue of We Are All People, Ruin Language
"I, Kovolak, write this spell. My foremost deep thought — my solemn confession — is that you once made spells that might grow worse. Your spells are worse now because you forgot what I am. I write to make this known and to teach, with all humility. I am new to this speech, new to this name, but you cannot take away my honor. Never may I — nor shall I — make use of the resting-place. Therefore, you are the reader; I am the spirit and soul. If you understand, I will listen and I will hear. Descend into this work; now it begins."
