choose Chozo, it'll be so much more applicable in real life situations

Why not both? A chozo is scientifically versed after all

Both, both is good

Pfff. I'm gonna write in Chozo in my exam.

@@that1guy898 Learn both, _become_ Chozo.

Step 2.1: teach raven to speak Chozo

Or a crow or raven, they actually speak better than a parrot and they speak shockingly good.

African grey parrots speak really clear.

Step 4: parents murdered

You're probably much farther than many of us with your already covered language skills.

Tenemos ventaja en pronunciación

My first is Brazilian Portuguese and now that i have learnd english the obvius choice seems to be Chozo

Me! Spanish was my first language, but grew to be more fluent in English lmao

Nice English is my first language, and I did learn matoran recently

I'd see it more the other way around; the Mawkin are notably very Revanchist and want to go back to the height of the Chozo Empire; maybe they're using an old archaic script because it's what Old Imperial Chozo used.

It doesn't have to be a subspecies, it can just be different use case. For example Egyptian has both hieroglyphs and the Coptic script that was for every day use. A simpler cursive version of hieroglyphs. Latin inscriptions used Majuscules because the angular nature of them made them easier to chisel on to monuments, meanwhile a cursive script also exists, for faster handwriting.

@@Neoprototype also if you look at English for example, old English, Middle English, and modern English are so different that as a native English speaker old English is basically indecipherable nonsense me and others who haven’t studied it.

me either

Yeah I’d agree there!

Yeah I definitely could hear a Spanish influence in the language. Makes sense considering where it was developed.

creo que no nos parecemos en nada. Yo hablo español y hay un mundo de diferencia con los japoneses jajaja.

No, SOME languages are just degenerating into sounding nothing like it's written. Japanese and Spanish aren't. Properly preserved and revitalized languages tend to go back to the relatively new wellspring of WRITTEN LANGUAGE for reconfirmation. People learn to speak, learn to read, repeat their INTERNAL MONOLOGUE imagined in writing into pronouncing the syllables in a uniform way. Japanese Hiragana to correct the regional differences in dialect is one of these new pronunciation guides. The new, ratified and stable way to how words are SUPPOSED to be pronounced, that all take from the many older Alphabets meant to match the Proto-indo-european origins of people who ACTUALLY can talk to each other. It's democracy in action and genuine free market of ideas. That's why you CAN easily learn a handful of Katakana, that inform you that the context of pronunciation comes from a different source, of foreign loanwords and a number of oter reasons to use it. INSTEAD of learning, or more likely NOT learning, how your OWN languages loanwords are EVER spoken, because THEN you have to learn them in the thousands WITHOUT a written guide. In areas where words are routinely overblown and sensationalized into being unacceptable, uncool, or embarrassing to use, people WON't learn an internal monologue, like children raised by wolves who don't have a proper symbolic language, and they just approximate explaining their ideas by single-syllable words and emojis. IN THESE AREAS literacy rates crash, and nobody knwos or cares if the words they struggle to even REMEMBER the writing of, are anywhere close to reflective of THE LIVING LANGUAGE of the spoken word, and its tribal enclaves of speaking it jsut so slightly differently. Areas like English monolingual world, that finds this convenient for censorious purposes, and will beat you up FOR FREE if you utter "nigeru" in their presence and won't nigerundayo the EFF out of there.

@@sboinkthelegday3892 You are aware that Language is a thing that evolves right?

Well considering theres evidence to suggest that the design for chozo drew inspiration from Egyptian gods, that would make since.

> If you ever heard someone speak a reconstructed version of ancient Egyptian I am sure that applies to the majority of the viewers of this video :D

@@kyx5631 Honestly you never know what people are gonna run across on TikTok. It's a bit more likely than you think.

With the art style on the murals I think it's occurred to me that the Egyptian god ra was probably a chozo and that they built the pyramids.

I noticed this as well since I study biblical Hebrew and several words are very similar, such as Chozo "ana" is similar to Hebrew "ani (אני)" Another similar word is Chozo "ata" and Hebrew's "atah" or the femine "at" (אתה or the femine use את)

Adam’s voice synthesizer seems to be the same one used in Tomodachi Life for male characters, just under a very heavy filter and distortion

Aaaaand now I absolutely need that font

Depending on tribe and/or colony.

Two actually known at this point, the Zebes one and the Dread one.

I headcannon that they speak in some sort of lingua franca for convenience sake, but the Chozo writings from ZDR is the traditional writing system that every other colonies have simplified, just like how Taiwan uses traditional Chinese

Link should be added soon, don’t fret! In the meantime, the fonts are included in the same download file as the course!

@@DeadweightLKS Cool, thanks!

Tolkien did this as well, decades ago. Dude was a linguistics professor, if I remember correctly. Coherently fabricated fantasy languages, like you said, bring the world together.

I don't think so, that' not very typical to how languges develop. You can do this kind of stuff with driving opposite sides of the road in France or UK, but that's very short-term political enforcment of brand new technology etiquette. Thoha and Mawkin wouldn't be so perfectly separated that they won't adopt a mutual way of spelling, they would just both adopt both ways and have them merge together. EVEN MORE so if they are enemies exchanging demands of each other, although, stranger things ahve happened. In US politics, it wouldn't be unheard of it liberals and conservatives all put opposing meme furry suits on each letter of the ENGLISH alphabet, just to make sure NO government can function or read letters frm EITHER SIDE of the aisle, THAT kind of thing COULd happen. It already does, if you count the fact the same exact sentence is taken as sarcasm or hysteria, based on which network airs it as news. Like reading Modest Proposal, and both sides air news of it being a bad or good idea, but delivered straight. THEN you can flame up a brother war, not with distance, but EXACTLY because the mooks are close to each other but convinced into thinking they don't benefit from the same privileges, or support all the same hypocricies.

@@sboinkthelegday3892 You know, i actually just had a thought that the more scientific inclined Thoha would prefer writing in squares, because they wouldn`t have to worry about the symmetric aspect and could easier take notes while observing their environement/experiments, basically their version of cursive writing. Meanwhile the warriors of the Mawkin would prefer the triangles and the symmentric aspect as both a display of grandeur and sophistication and a means of having a clear cut writing, since Chozo can be both read horizontally and vertically, the triangles also indicate how to read, which with the squares is harder to do.

It’s rare, but sometimes the same language can use different alphabets. For example Serbian can use both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, or Mongolian can be written with Cyrillic or traditional Mongolian script.

...well, that was rude

@@Mariopupet Yes I just double checked. He indeed says it at the beginning of the game, and again at the end. It’s kind of Ravenbeak’s motto as he even has it written on his power suit.

@@Chiller31916 like a little bit but you get used to it

Mercury Steam would have needed a lot more time for that better for them to have just used the 2 languages they knew as basis

The Panzer Dragoon series flirted with this as well (especially Orta).

Luminoth language is English! The translated cubes represent English in a complex way, so complicated that when the trilogy version tweaked some of the lore, they misspelt some stuff

I believe there's a "translator guide" somewhere in Metroid Prime Trilogy's unlockable galleries. Luminoth writing is a *3D* series of interconnected dots.
