01-03 CHALLENGE
Annnnnd it's time for challenge 3!
As promised (at least to those who helped me out by answering polls in the planning stages of the comm), it's time for dead language week! You'll be working in Gaulish this week.
challenge
This challenge will be a little different, in that you will be working with a dead language. Because a single word in this language can make up part of a sentence, you will be using at least one line from the Gaulish lyrics instead of using three consecutive words. Other than that, go wild!
You can gain bonus points by using the following extra criteria, for a total of up to 2 extra points.

English translation
Grim battles
Against countless foes
Have steeled you
From the shores of the Rhine
To the top of the Alps,
Your fair meadow
Your rank heathlands
The choirs of bards
Sing the glory
Of the undying names
Of fallen heroes,
That gave their lives,
Their blood
For the freedom of their fatherland.
Oh Sovereignty of my fathers
Oh land of my countrymen!
From your root sprang
A glorious nation
Of dure heroes.
Oh dulcet blossom of the living world!
Oh my fatherland, oh my Helvetia!
Your woman and maids
Noble and fair,
Your highest men
To this bravesong
They join in
The sword in my hand
Stand up and sing:
Oh Sovereignty of my fathers
Oh land of my countrymen!
From your root sprang
A glorious nation
Of dure heroes.
Oh dulcet blossom of the living world!
Oh my fatherland, oh my Helvetia!
♫ give it a listen
