Reference:Rivenese transcriptions
In Riven, the Stranger has a bit of dialogue with Nelah while prisoner on Tay. No trascriptions or translations were ever released. Explorer KathTheDragon attempted the transcriptions[1] that follow.
OOC: 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.
