My entry into Agma Schwa's Cursed Conlang Circus.
This is my first published video, hope people enjoy!
Apologies for any mistakes in historical accuracy or any intricacies of any of the languages. I did my best to research but I'm sure someone with more experience will catch cracks in the video.

Corrections: 1. 爱 does not break down into a 心. This was from the traditional characters, which itself doesn't break down into 友. 2. 汉子 should be 汉字。Can thank the pinyin keyboard suggesting the wrong one to me every time for that.

It would be easy enough if it had an accurate romanization that allows you to see how it is supposed to be pronounced, but the system that is widely used just makes it more difficult...

@whohan779 9 ай бұрын

@@Tasorius I don't quite get that. Why are the several Pīnyīn inaccurate for formally speaking their respective dialect? I realize that adding ш, ж & ч equivalents into Latin or vice-versa q, ü/v & x (maybe even ŋ) into Cyrillic (preferably not with needless diacritics as they're mainly used for vowel tones) could help, but otherwise the system seems perfect. How would any phonetic writing system ever satisfy any relevant dialect? I guess, the CPC just wants to eradicate them slowly, which solves this problem.

With the quite important difference that Ithkuil was made for utmost briefness (the speech should be formed & arrive immaculately - which almost any human is incapable of), while here the quite stringent rule of one syllable per character gets replaced by "Hope your characters don't have lots of strokes, otherwise you'll suffer one.". This basically introduces all the trouble of by-heart calligraphy into speech. Though I must admit, I understand how Ithkuil is supposed to work, but not Kay(f)bop(t).

Stroke order in actual Hanzi is just a didactic tool to help with learning and retention of characters. There's no difference on how the character looks, whichever way you wrote it (unless with a brush, in which case the direction of a stroke matters).

@xXJ4FARGAMERXx 9 ай бұрын

It does affect the way that it looks, just in a subtle way. This applies to any written work, so stroke order (to me) also matters in English; it's very important that you write p with a down stroke THEN do the circle, otherwise it'll look like a ƿ (wynn) or ρ (rho).
