@hojanson7331

Жыл бұрын

Actually, in new ithkuil (not the one in the video, this one isn't tonal and there is a smaller consonant inventory), there is a word for "not wanting to get out of bed", which I believe is the word "ainkluilwalzi’ö" (i'm not sure if it's correct, but i know nobody is gonna verify it because i had to suffer through the new ithkuil webpage for hours) here's the breakdown: ai- means three things: 1. the verb is processual, means it isn't focused on a final outcome, 2. the main root is the stem 1 meaning, and the third is something we'll get to later. the main root is "nkl" which means 'BED/SOFA BED/CHAISE-LONGUE', whose stem 1 meaning is 'bed'. -ui means it is in the dynamic, basic, functional form. Dynamic means the verb involves change/motion/movement/action. Basic is a specification for the meaning of the root, still meaning 'bed'. Functional means the bed has a purpose in the sentence. (it wouldn't work if i had said something else) -lw means five things: 1. it is in the associative affiliation, meaning there is a purpose, 2. it is in the uniplex configuration, meaning... uh one bed, 3. it is in the delimitive extension, meaning there are clear boundaries of the noun, 4. it is in the the nomic perspective, meaning it is a generic concept (we are referring to a generic concept of bed, not one specific bed), and 5. it has the normal essence, meaning it is actually a real-world event, instead of a representation. -alz is a suffix meaning 'want to'. now let's get back to the third meaning of ai-, which is that it functions as a shortcut for negation. -i’ö marks the ablative case, meaning away from something. So the final meaning of "ainkluilwalzi’ö" is 'to not want to physically move away from bed for some purpose.'

I love ithkuil. It's not meant to be used for ordinary communication, but it achieves its goal of compacting everything by being extremely synthetic very well. While it's grammar is so complicated, it is all completely logically consistent, and all the inflections are very well chosen in my opinion, and it's possible to see the amount of thought that went into it, unlike with e.g. lojban and vötgil

In the original 2011 version of Ithkuil, tone begins with the stressed syllable and continues to the end of the word. Words have penultimate stress by default but ultimate stress is common, antepenultimate and preantepenultimate are less common but also exist. "Each word carries one functionally significant tone, pronounced beginning with the stressed syllable and continuously carried through any following syllables until the end of the word. Unstressed syllables prior to the stressed syllable have neutral mid tone." ithkuil.net/01_phonology.html#Sec1o3o2 Now tone will be used for the morphological category of Register but I think it still starts on the stressed syllable (he doesn't contradict this in the update). "Register will be indicated phonologically by tone distinctions. The first word of a phrase carrying a specific register will have one of five tones, and the last word of the phrase carrying that register will have rising tone to indicate termination of the register." ithkuil.net/updates.htm

Blackfoot is another polysynthetic language where tone applies across a whole word. It's actually really important to understanding stress and word boundaries, and this is basically true of Ithkuil as well; it's not just about the semantics but the prosody and how the overall shape of the word fits in your brain.

Theoretically, if you could somehow surmount the hurdles of teaching the parents (idk, maybe the child is raised by cybernetic humanoid surrogate parents?), it might actually work. Tom Scott mentioned in one of his language videos, about analytic vs. synthetic languages, that some studies seem to indicate that children learn polysynthetic languages the easiest because of their redundancy. To be fair, Ithkuil still makes Ojibwe look like Toki Pona, but it's still fun to think about. EDIT: Here's the Tom Scott video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKx1tMxpZ82soJM.html Also, now that I think about it... if the theory is correct, that polysynthetic languages have that learnability because of redundancy, then Ithkuil might be even more difficult than it seems. Missing any part of that example word substantively changes the meaning, which is great if you want an extremely efficient language with as little redundancy as possible, but probably detrimental for acquisition.

I wish it could have been possible to go into a bit more detail re: the writing system. It's one of my favorite parts of the language, and it's a possible answer to the "why digraphs" question: because writing Ithkuil based on how it sounds, using the Latin alphabet, kinda misses the point in the first place. The native characters are designed to reflect as many shades of meaning as possible, rather than just transcribing phonemes. This means that a word like the hard-to-believe-clowns thing only takes a few glyphs to write.

Ah yes, my favorite criminal investigation show, Law & Order: The Experience of Being Afraid of Something

This reminds me of something that comes up in Dungeons and Dragons. There is a spell called "sending" that allows the caster to send a message of up to 25 words to a known recipient an arbitrary distance away from you and allows them to respond with a similarly sized message. There are also other spells that have similar word count restrictions. Since a caster in D&D has a maximum number of spells they can cast in a day of each level. Since each casting of sending is one fewer fireball (or similarly potent spell), efficient communication would be very beneficial. I figure that a scholarly mage in such a world would attempt to make a more efficient language for magical communication. Non-linguist players will just drop articles and the like, but I imagine the compound words of German would be a way to cheat the system as well. The laws of magic probably wouldn't allow you to cheat the system by just removing spaces between words and calling each sentence a word in your language, so there might be a syllable, character, or time limit instead of words. There could also be a data limit that happens to roughly equate to 25 English words. Regardless or the system, presumably there would be a way to improve efficiency over English. This would only work if you were communicating with another individual who knows the language, but if you're sending reports to or from an organization, this could be ideal. Intelligence reports from military scouts, researchers collaborating with a university, etc.

I feel fear and intrigue

This would probably be a good language for a stenographer to learn.

"yes, you can type with it, you just need to make your own custom font" doesn't count as being able to type with it

well, doesn't that apply to everything that isn't in the formal HTML font library?

I think you're thinking harder about this than I was it's impossible to type with the ithkuil script, not because it structurally can never be possible, but because nobody's bothered to make a system for typing with the ithkuil script (as far as I know!)

Well, then i accept your challenge. if the image showing the alphabet was COMPLETE, then you'll find it on my account PreCambrian Writing on fontstruct in about a day.

After watching this several times, I’ve only just now noticed that the Critic in Conlang Critic is misspelled

The consonants part is just pure ASMR.

This is the most fantastic channel idea I have ever heard of, Bravo old boy!

I love this language's sheer audacity. It's amazing

I love how you could replace the vowel section with minecraft villager noises and it would be the same.

Mainly the â/ɑ/ open-back thing.

"Ithkuil's constants are" *someone with a lot of mucus trying to get it all out*

It’s impressive someone came up with something so specific. Ithkuil does a lot in one word.

To be fair, Ithkuil is primarily intended to be spoken. Writing was an afterthought.. I played with a writing system called HIOXIAN (google my blog). While primarily intended for an English/ Chinese interlang, it can be fairly easily expanded to function with Ithkuil. Cheers!

i saw the vowels and thought "that's not that many," then remembered "oh right" "i speak english"

Have you considered doing a review on elvish? If I remember right their are multiple types of it sindarin etc. So it would be nice to hear a review of all of them or at least splitting them up into dialects. I have never seen a decent video on that. Also could you start adding a few small examples of the language in each video? would be lovely to hear a sentence or two of each language.

Anyone else watched this video before the HAI one before watching it?

A whole complex sentence with a ton of random detail can be said in 2-3 words. But, to create those words takes like 5 minutes, and to read them probably takes roughly the same, so…

I tuned out a bit during the consonant segment and at one point I thought that you were opening several different sodas, each contained in a different way (glass bottle, twist cap, can, small can, tapping on the top before opening, that kinda stuff)

We really sat here and listened to him make a bunch of sounds for nearly a minute

Ithkuil’s writing system looks like the font Roger Dean’s art is drawn in, if that makes any sense at all

listing the consonants of this conlang like the tough one dropping every weapon they have

... this is the kind of language we will speak in 10 million years from now!

him reading the consonants sounded like the preview part of an asmr video

Yes! I've been waiting for this

Awesome. Looking forward to the Wolflandic episode.

The perfect language for any kid to develop perfect pitch.

man that consonant collection looks like if Polish and Hindi had a very evil child.

1:09 that sound that Peter Gregory on "Silicon Valley" made when he was upset.

I'd like to see the keyboard for Ithkuil containing all the letters.

listening to you go through the fricatives was entertaining... I guess that's just midnight me

The feature of being able to be precise or less precise is the BIG WIN feature. Hell yeah.

ASMR at 0:29

This language would literally take a LIFETIME to master...

YES! Haha I've been waiting :D How did I not see this in my subscriber box though? KZread... *sigh*

Your pronunciation skills are awesome

THAT CONSONANT INVENTORY THOUGH

3:24 The moment you were waiting for

Imagine being fluent in both Ithkuil and Toki Pona... Anyway, I complained about German and its very long words, but after a passing glance at Ithkuil I just shut up now and try gearing up my memory.

that cut from asmr to w is hilarious

Cthulhu nods in approval

this consonant inventory, incedentally, is also my cymbal and hi-hat sample collection.

God this is the best conlang ever

"being hard to believe, after allegedly trying to go back to repeatedly inspiring fear using ragtag groups of suspicious looking clowns, despite resistance" Why would you ever need one word for horribly specific situation.
