Lyrics in latin (this language officially uses latin alphabet)
Čoma eht,
Oli eglei mugoi čoma eht,
Hillei langez’ male sügüz’ leht.
Ka, oli mugoi čoma eht.
Sinun täht,
Minä olen necen taivhan al,
Minä astun meiden vepsan mal.
Mä elan vaiše sinun täht.
Tuleb aig,
Sabutam meid mugoi hüvä päiv,
Kazvab änikoid-ki čomid äi,
Möst tuleb mugoi čoma aig.
Kus sä oled, kus?... Linneb pigai vihand leht.
Кaiken muštos om minei nece čoma eht

Can Swedes understand this? I speak a bit of Swedish but couldn't understand anything apart from a few words here and there.

imo Elfdalian is one of the most beautiful European languages. It actually used the runic alphabet until the 1900, and contains a lot of features that don't exist in other Scandinavian languages.

Most (all?) of the Indian, Eskimo, and Hawaiian languages are trying to bring themselves back. They're teaching schools in the native languages again, all that.
