Bushyasta is an iranian demon.  He prices himself through long hairs and belongs to the Daevas.  As such, it stands in the services Ahrimans.  It embodies the laziness and slackness.  At that tomorrow if the persons should rise and work, fights he against the good industrious persons in that he to persuade tried it in addition to remain in bed.  

Pretty much the same, except it replaces putridness and schlaffheit with laziness and slackness.

By the way, I am a native speaker of American English.  Reading definitely helps.  I can also read and write spanish well, but cannot speak or listen to it.  I also know a little bit of french, from traveling to Paris this summer.

Thanks for the help! It's so hard getting decent info on this guy!

at risk of derailment, I'm very curious as to why you are looking.

My very own translation (woohoo for translation German to English when your mother tongue is Dutch :)):

"Bushyasta is an Iranian Demon. It is characterised by long hair and belongs to the Devas. [I suppose that's a class of Demons?-Túrin] It embodies "faulheit" and "schlaffheit" [Not sure what those two mean, though I suppose the online translators have gotten those right-Túrin]. In the morning, when people should rise and go to work, he fights good industrious people by trying to convince them to stay in bed."

The free translators screwed up the grammar in the last sentence. I'm positive my version is better regarding the last sentence.

Well, there's this horrible, bright yellow thing in my bed and...

Nah, just kidding. I was just looking up Persian demons and divinities on wikipedia, and there was very little info on this guy (it pretty much just mentioned that it was bright yellow, had long fingers, that it was a demon of sloth and tempted the devout away from their faith, and that it was an evil genius). So... I dunno.. I just looked in other places. May or may not use the guy in my campaign.

My first language learned was Arabic. I grew up in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but moved to the united states at 12. I started learning English before I moved here, but for the most part my English is self taught.

I'm a lot more proficient in English than I am in Arabic, with the exception of knowledge of formal grammar. It's difficult to develop a good vocabulary when you're not exposed to the language anymore, and my mother, who's first language is English, doesn't speak much Arabic around the house. But there's also the fact that I'm autistic, and my language development was severly sub-par before I hit the magic age of sixteen when a lot of different things finally clicked in my head. So despite having learned Arabic first, I'm not all that proficient in it.

I've studied French, Latin and Spanish in school as well. I don't remember much of them, but Latin stuck with me the most of them. I have a bad habit of sprinking my Spanish with Latin words. I've all but forgotten French.

[Tangential]

My first language would be American English. I know enough German to get by in a basic conversation, as well as a decent grasp on Irish. Elements of understanding are present in Japanese, Latin, French, Spanish/Portuguese, Italian and Mandarin Chinese. I can recognize the language or at least language family of almost anything spoken or on paper around me. Go IB language study/epistemology courses.

Yet I am hardly fluent in anything after being up for 28 hours at 2 AM with no caffeine. "Guild newbie needs sleep badly," seems to be sounding from the sky.

[Wensleydale]

My first language is english, followed by welsh (which I'm still not remarkably proficient in now, but I can get along). I speak some french and some ancient egyptian.

I speak english, a dwi'n siarad cymraeg, et je ne parles pas francais bien.

[Jharviss]

I was born speaking American English (though I wasn't born very fluent), I have grown up speaking American English, I ventured into French for two years, triumphantly learning to say 'Je ne peux pas parle francais' and nothing else, and am now loosely studying Spanish.  But American English speaker I am, and I'm an English major in college.  I like English (even though it is one of the most disturbed languages I have ever seen).

[Hibou]

In addition to my original knowledge of languages (see page 1), I am now taking an Elementary German course in university as a distribution credit, and I plan to continue my study of the German language (and maybe some other ones I am particularily interested in, like Russian and Arabic) in the future, though not directly through the university. If I do take any other language-related courses in the future, they'll be from Linguistics.

I also am a little better at French than I was a few months ago, though I can't understand why.

[Elven Doritos]

I took for years of French, and I can still speak a smattering. My reading comprehension and written translation skills (from French to English) are my strong suit.

I'm going to be taking a very basic course in Mandarin this semester. If I enjoy it, I may pursue it whole-heartedly.
