In Riven, the Stranger has a bit of dialogue with Cho right after linking, with Nelah while prisoner on Tay, and hears phrases from other members of the Moiety. No trascriptions or translations were ever released. Explorer KathTheDragon attempted the transcriptions[1] that follow.
 | This paragraph is written from an OOC point-of-view. Events and elements in the D'ni Universe are regarded as fictional. |
Rivenese is reportedly based on a dialect of Papua New Guinea. However, no one has yet managed to identify which one, let alone acquire a translation.
