Aliit Ori'shya taldin (Family is more than blood)
Hey! This is a story I'm starting written completely in Mandoa! Reason? Why not! It follows a young Mandalorian (we meet him at age 14) through his life. It's an odd backstory but I had trouble deciding what it would be so here. Note I couldn't find dictionary words for certain words so I had to find them by Google translate. That horror. I have to do a lot of studying on mandalorian culture. Oh dear. Well, I hope you enjoy the low quality thing this'll turn out as. Bolded paragraphs are the translations to the paragraph above them. It takes place during the Clone Wars even though it may seem weirdly off era.
"Olar's tion'jor gar liser't exterminate mhi, aruetii. Vi're not huddled o'r solus place—we span te galaxy. Vi linibar nayc lords ra leaders—so gar liser't naastar cuun command. Vi liser oyacyir ures technology—so vi liser akaanir ti cuun bare hands. Vi ganar nayc species ra bloodline—so vi liser rebuild cuun ranks ti others tion'ad copad at to mhi. Vi're or'atu than shi a adate ra an akaan'ade, aruetii. Vi're a culture. Vi're an idea. Bal gar liser't kyr'amur ideas—but vi liser troch kyr'amur gar."
"Here's why you can't exterminate us, aruetii. We're not huddled in one place—we span the galaxy. We need no lords or leaders—so you can't destroy our command. We can live without technology—so we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodline—so we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army, aruetii. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideas—but we can certainly kill you."

Ba'vodu sherd Ru'kel remind ni. Everyday Ni was reminded. Everyday. She told ni bic Ru'kel solus tuur save ner oyay.
Family is more than blood.
Aunt Sherd would remind me. Everyday I was reminded. Everyday. She told me it would one day save my life.
Ner gai cuyir zaj sherd. Ni draar thought ner ba'vodu Ru'kel cuyir proven true. Ni guess ibac goes at tengaanar pehea idiotic Ni cuy'. Ni nayc longer stay ti ner clan. Ni payt them a munit ca'nara ago. Sh'ehn years. Bic's urakto at urmankalar. Ibi'tuur cuyir te anniversary be ner clans Nusur'la. Bic brings norac memories Ni hoped forgotten.
My name is Zaj Sherd. I never thought my Aunt would be proven true. I guess that goes to show how idiotic I am. I no longer stay with my clan. I left them a long time ago. Eight years. It's hard to believe. Today is the anniversary of my clans destruction. It brings back memories I hoped forgotten.
And cut! So, did you like it and should it be continued? Review and relax!
