The little singular words like "today", "good", and "sure" are enough to gaslight me into thinking this is actual english

This is like when someone’s having a conversation in another room and you’re not really tuning into it but still hearing their words

I am a retired speech therapist. I have listened to more gibberish than most people. Listening to this was fun for me. My analytical side kicks in and I start to dissect. “What’s going on here? What sounds am I hearing? What sounds might be missing? What is the context of the conversation and what can intonation tell me?” The first thing I noticed was the lack of consonants. I worked for many years with children from 3 years to 10. Listening to this reminded me of a three year old who spoke only in vowels, but all the intonation was there, for example, having them the sing the ABC song. I knew what they were saying because of the context, which only highlighted what was missing. Another thing I noticed was how slurred the words sounded, words sliding into one another without definite boundaries. I love listening to other languages that I don’t know. You can sense the rhythms, some sound very staccato and others like waves lightly going up and down.

It's should be criminal to not have subtitles in a video like this

It's the way they speak it that makes it sound like English. The cadence, and the tone, the emotion. Everything. Helps that they put real words in there occasionally, or write gibberish that sounds like real words when said quickly.

As a Turkish, this was the language that i was using when i was prentending like "I'm singing an english song" when i was a child.

This is so well made. You can almost make out what they’re saying but there’s also just enough of a dissonance for you not to know what they’re saying.
