Lepidopteran History in a nutshell...

The Lepidopteran Isles have long recited the poem you see behind this text. Until recently it was never written in any script or translated into any other language. It is recited in class by children, on special occasions by the Da, and to music by Roze. From the time the islands split no one has added to it.

It reads as follows in English:

Zeza was the first butterfly person and united the Ze and developed the Ze language
Taza was her daughter who met Zayi, the first Ye
Tazi made the writing, but still there was no "Ve"
Kahe was strong and had the Zehe
Xeli was kind and tamed a Vere
Kaza lived in a ve time, her son, Tozu, was her family and he married a Ye
Kaya,the ye, was kind and saved the ze and the ye
She became Da of the ye and peace filled the xe
Kayi, her daughter, ruled the keye
Kazi, Kayi’s sister, became the Da of the Ze
Kazi had 3 daughters, one son and when the island became 3 they ruled
From then the story is 3 stories

And romanizes as...

Zeza a zesa, a Da qe ge Zeye
Taza, Zeza zi, ge Zayi, a ye
Tazi ge ge, re ve bese "ve"
Kahe se we qe se Zehe
Xeli se ze qe ze a Vere
Kaza se Vebe, zu Tozu se ze,
Tozu Ze qe a Ye
Kaya ye se ze qe pe ze qe ye
Cese ye da qe xe se ze
Kayi, Kayazi, de keye
Kazi, Kayize cese daze
Kazi aa zi a zu qe be Zena se aa zizu de
Se be a ge se aa ge
