In English:
Two people were sitting by a fence. The first says:
"Tell me, if I'm looking at you, and thinking of something, and you
know that I'm thinking of that thing, and you're thinking of the same
thing, isn't it just as if we had said it?"
"Well, yes..."
"Then, which of us is it like he had said it?"
Translated into Zoinx:

= silali ga fen go, en nebasi go he`i ga, san fermisi go man xiruli,
san esasi ga mse`i fermisi go man set, san fermisi ga man tira, i`aneka

The
Zoinx
language (invented in 1993), does not have a fictional population of
speakers or a corresponding history, yet "quite a bit of cultural
information can be gathered from the language itself."
