We love this service to get our documentary fix and we know you will too!
The English language is quite confusing... silent letters, letters have multiple sounds, different combinations of letters change pronunciations... why you gotta be like that, English? To solve this issue, I'm creating MY OWN written language/alphabet, that is better and simpler than English, so check it out and let me know what you think. Definitely stick around for 17:06 when you get to see my singing skills put to the test!

honestly I think my favorite thing about your language is the inclusion of emotive notations as a formal method of communication. It feels like something heavily overlooked in writing and communication when body language isn't available to give you those context clues of if someone is being playful or angry, and I particularly appreciate the option to use the emotive notes without need for words to pair with them- my default when texting with people I care about is, when a conversation is done and I have nothing to add, I send a last emoji that sums up a general tone, usually a smiley(cat smileys tbh) or a heart, just to stand in like how I would typically nod or give a thumbs up or shoulder bump or headbutt to finish a conversation in person. I think wordless communication or emotive communication is something that the world could really benefit from bringing into mainstream and professional settings, instead of restricting it to extremely casual and informal situations.

@GameCarpenter 2 жыл бұрын
The emotional context element would be helpful for dialog. When writing, I often rush to add context to dialog with description as early as possible (and sometimes clarify the speaker). As a reader I know how annoying it is to have the tone of the dialog shift on me when the writer comes in with a descriptive element at the end of a paragraph.
@user-xm2nb7qj1t 4 жыл бұрын
The reason why /ð/ and /θ/ sound similar is because of voicing. They're a voiced & unvoiced pair. Also, I wouldn't call this a new language, since it's just writing, with the speaking being done in English. Just a cipher. Another thing would be the heart, which was this ❤️ shape. Chances are you wouldn't find that in anything of the sort in old texts from real life, but who knows, it could be a thing in the universe you're creating here. Regardless, I'm glad that you went the route of writing things as they're said, not how they're spelled in English.

Diego R. It really depends on _where_ you write it. If you write, say “woah man spoilers” under a comment on a video containing said spoilers, it’s usually gotten. (unless you’re me, cause that example was encountered by me and I took it seriously, I wasn’t an ass about it though, so it ended nicely.) but if you write, say “ham sucks ass and anyone who likes is it a hoe” under a video talking about the benefits of ham, it’s very hard to get and most will just take it seriously, and if you do that you’re bad at sarcasm and are more like a Schrödingers Douchebag than a practicer of sarcasm at that point.

That's because you used them as mere placeholders, devoid of real meaning other than sounds. This is precisely what makes an alphabet work; an a is literally just a sound placeholder.

When I was in ninth grade, me and some other people at school got bored one day and decided to make our spare cardboard and art materials into weapons for fun. The eighth graders did the same after seeing what we did so we had this little cardboard war going on. It escalated into a situation where we formed 'kingdoms' that used cardboard technology where everyone had to figure out how to make more durable cardboard swords and armor. We would discover breakthroughs like how crossing the corrugations in sheets of cardboard boxes would make more durable tools or how coating weapons in tape completely would reduce their ability to tear from stress. At some point we wanted to be able to write war documents without letting the others know what the text meant. This necessity gave us the idea to create our own written language and teach the rest of our kingdom how to read it. This whole cardboard war became a thing that the whole highschool took part of. Those were fun days. Anyway, finding your channel started to remind me of it a lot. Thank you for doing what you do.

I made up an alphabet to write English with once, mainly so I could write personal stuff and not worry about others reading it. Some of the characters take too long to draw though, so I'm looking at re-creating it; this video is really helpful! To save on letters though, I'm planning to do something I've noticed with two other languages I've learned a little of (Spanish and Hawaiian) and give each vowel one sound: a like in "Pa", e like the first e in "melee", i like the second i in "miniature", o like in "motive", u like in "duty". Other vowel phonemes are then made by combining more than one vowel; "lei" in Hawaiian sounds like "lay" in English because of the way the e and i sounds combine.

May as well have taken out /b/, /d/, /v/, /g/, /z/, and /ʒ/, too, if we're just letting people guess if a sound is voiced or unvoiced.

Can you call it a new "language" if it's a new phonetic writing system for American English as spoken where you come from?
@tenpotkan7051 4 жыл бұрын
Short answer: No. Long answer: No, you can not. You most certainly are able, and do posses the necesairy power and skill, to do so but such action will inevitably lead you into the unpleasant state of being wrong.

yeah, this is creating a new writing system, not a new language. creating a new language would be a massive undertaking, just look at David Peterson and other conlangers/linguists (youtube as well, Bibloridian, Artexifan, Xidnaf, NativLang, Langfocus etc)

one of my friends literally made an entire language once, the most unique part of it is that the way you read it isnt from left to right, or right to left, it was a spiral that you read outwards. but the best part was, it didnt look like a spiral, it was just a multiple layered circle, idk what he did to make you know where to start, or to go to the next layer though.

(16:20) 1. It's not a translator, it only changes English spelling to its phonemic values. 2. It's not a new language, it's only English with a different writing system. 3. Did you properly use the Unicode private use characters, or at least replaced the IPA characters? So you don't make "T" represent the /θ/ sound.
@zacharymentz2949 3 жыл бұрын
One thing I'd add would be to simplify the characters by frequency of use... For instance, the most common phoneme "ə" I would reduce to a dot or a slash so it's quickest and shortest to write. That way, you're writing as efficiently as possible like in shorthand and conserving time and space on the carving block / papyrus. Fewer resources required (and faster). I'd probably also turn the most commonly used words like "and" and "the" into glyphs like a triangle or square.

We used to have that second letter as well, called thorn. I believe it was the invention, or importation, of printing presses from other places in Europe that did not have this letter that spelled its demise.

@@dhayes5143 Indeed. The printing press was invented in Germany, where the "th" sound (voiced and voiceless) didn't exist. German publishers who saw the letter Thorn didn't recognize it but thought it looked similar to Y, which is rarely used in German, so they replaced Thorn with Y-hence why "ye" as in "Ye Olde" exists.

This might be the first time I've seen a truly integrated ad. The sponsor isn't just relevant to the video, but crucial to it. And the video wasn't just made for the sponsor, it was a natural part of the ongoing series. Well done! I want more of this type of advertising on KZfaq, and less of those intrusive, out-of-nowhere ads. Not that this channel ever do them out of nowhere, you're always upfront about having sponsors and give ample warning before transitioning into the ad section of the video. I think I might even dare to say that this is the only channel I've ever seen an ethically performed RAID: Shadow Legends sponsorship on.
