Ald-Chimeris
Ald-Chimeris is the ancient precursor tongue to modern Dunmeris and was spoken by the Chimer, the progenitors to the Dunmer prior to their transformation. The Chimer lived alongside the Dwemer, the Deep Elves, and later in history, their relationship was plagued by frequent conflicts when the First Council got shattered as Indoril Nerevar found out about Kagrenac's, the Chief Tonal Architect of the Dwemer, to construct and activate the Numidium, their mechanical god. To achieve this, they would have to tap into the power of the heart of Lorkhan. In the end they did, but the Dwemer would, inexplicably and without a trace, disappear, never to be seen or heard from again.
We don't know much about the language of the old Chimer save for the fact that it was quite different to modern Dunmeris, which it eventually evolved into. The only thing we have is a set of lines written in Ald-Chimeris, together with its corresponding translation. Apart from this, however, we possess nothing at all. No vocabulary, no grammar, no alphabet. What we are left with is knowledge of purely historical quality and value. A thing that may be of note, however, is the fact that the Chimer only turned into the Dunmer after Azura's Curse in 1E700, they adopted the Daedric alphabet perhaps only after their transformation. But we can't be sure, as the original Chimer also heavily worshipped the Daedra, more so than their Altmer brethren whom they left on the Summerset Isle.

The artistic quality of your calligraphy is nutty~
What ES universe language is the translation written in? Is it in the same alphabet as Ald-Chimeris for some lore reason, or was it less of a headache to do it this way?
We don't have an alphabet for Ald-Chimeris so I wrote it all in normal letters. All the other symbols are either Elder Script or Divine Script.
