I mean, I'd start by making the entire consonant inventory all of the sounds that the IPA considers theoretically pronouncable by humans, but which no current language uses. Then I guess you could use latin characters, but shuffled just so your intuition from any other language is always wrong. I suppose for vowels you'd have to avoid 'a', 'i', and 'o', and maybe also have nasal and aspirated vowels that encode wildly distinct meanings. Even then, though, sooner or later someone reading that document is going to realize you're just taking the piss.

For the record, the only way I know of to typeset the overlapping letters in a modern context is to use latex, the commands "v\makebox[-5pt]{t}" seems to function correctly for the eth, and "p\makebox[-8pt]{w}" for the weird ass pw sound. They do look absolutely horrible.

I like how they publish their work in Esperanto so that, when Poliespo fails to bring your point across, you can just fall back on Esperanto.

In the interest of keeping information up-to-date, it is perhaps worth noting that Billy Ray Waldon's conviction and death sentence were overturned in January 2023, partly on technicalities in the previous proceedings and partly because of his own "delusional" self-representation in court. He is currently awaiting a new trial. This does nothing to inspire confidence in Poliespo itself, of course, but the story still isn't over.

I wish the guy who made Thandian still had the document so you could review it.

thandian doesn't use the letter x or the number 2 as a vowel so it's already better

I like the idea of a conlang that serves as a stepping stone towards more endangered languages, idk if it would just be easier to bite the bullet and learn the languages themselves though.

there's a bit of irony to one of the only borrowed roots meaning "peace"

(6:30) A diacritical mark over a miniscule letter with an ascender is something I rarely find pleasing. Neither does other people either because miniscule Ť is ť, looks like an apostrophe, but isn't. But I do prefer diacritics over digraphs, that is I like š/ś/ş over sh.

I fully expected Anthony McCarthy to show up and defend Poliespo.

I think "pwtro" has the same energy has "humxn"

I've watched a few of these videos as I've been getting back into conlanging, and my biggest suggestion is that you should pronounce the consonants in your consonant charts *between* vowels. It makes it easier to hear the consonants.....and it helps when somebody seems to think that nasalized preaspiration is a good thing.

So you're telling me someone made Malbolge as an auxlang? I'm a bit excited.

Hey, at the very least you have to agree that the Disney movies did do what they were meant to, i.e. make Disney money. Poliespo's goal accomplishment, on the other hand...

The scan being slanted certainly doesn't help with the ugliness of the text

poliespo literally sounds like a medicine with a 2 minute long commercial listing all the consequences of taking poliespo

dude you're the only channel I'll watch as soon as a video is put out I LOVE this series thank you for what you do

Violence warning "I feel it necessary to mention something so violence warning". What could possibly be that bad, is it such a bad language it hurt somebody? "The creator is on death row for violent crimes". EXFUCKING CUSE ME. "Including three murders" HEY THAT SENTENCE COULDVE STOPPED AT THE FIRST STATEMENT FROM 1 TO 100 TO 200 HOLY SHIT.

At 8:22 to be fair, some Arabic speakers use numbers to transliterate too: 2 - ء 3 - ع 5 - خ 6 - ط 7 - ح 8 - ق (e.g. Bidde aru7 3lsou8 hal2, bidik teeji ma3i? = بدي أروح على السوق هلا, بدك تيجي معي؟) Admittedly it's clsr to a txt speech simulacrum frm the early 2000's, but still, it's functional; and as long as you separate your actual numbers with spaces between words then it's pretty contextually clear which are meant to be read as letters and which should be read as numbers. That said, this is faaar more sophisticated than Poliespo's singular number replacement. Poliespo really does seem like the creator just threw everything into this language. Reminds me of the Biblaridion video about 'How not to make a language'.

Years from now, when you've already reviewed every good conlang in existence and are stuck reviewing garbage, you will still be using Poliespo as a reference for just how bad a conlang can be.

You should try to set up an interview with Sequoyah to get all the missing details and explanations of the language! That would probably be really interesting!

i was about to fall asleep and then i heard "he is on death row for violent crimes" way to wake me up

All things considered, the only thing I like in this language is the word banant̂ⱥn2plaĉqlx.

Me in the beginning: Worse than Votgil? How?? Me at the end: oh...

A whole lot was going through my head during the consonant inventory and none of it was the consonant inventory!!

oh, i had a scrapped conlang it had stroke order, it had like 4 basic shapes, simply just to chisel in with a 2-sided tool. it was a plus side, and a square side, and to make the p and r shapes, you had to use the edge of the plus side. it had the h in hue, and the vowels somehow, in my 5yo brain, were yelling faces, the schwa was somehow on a table, and the w symbol was two x shapes next to eachother, because it made a w shape. i also had regular words, like ho, 2 cross shapes on top of eachother, to make a HOle shape. it also meant santa. why? i have no idea. i didn't make any grammar whatsoever, before i went "this is dumb" and scrapped it.

Polio + Esperanto = the blissful realm where baby boomers ascend after death.

Nasal pre-aspiration is actually something that exists in my variety of Spanish. I’ve actually found myself doing it and was like wtf??? In many Spanish dialects coda /s/ gets debuccalized into a sort of /h/, and in my variety (Rioplatense) it occurs pretty much only before consonants. But some Spanish words have an /nsC/ consonant cluster in them, like “instrumento”. In these cases we sometimes aspirate the /s/ but keep the nasality of the /n/ and have a pre-aspirated /t/.

It reminded me about the first writing system I tried to create in the 4th grade. I was trying to be original as hell, so I decided to make a box, add in some lines in there, choose a few lines for each letter (of my native Russian language) and call it a new language. Different letters could be written with almost the same lines, and it was impossible to say in which order the letters were or what they were at all. I don't remember it well, but I could have a letter "|_" m, "_|" s and "|_|" a, and then get a word "|_|" and wonder, was it just "a"? Maybe "sa"? "As"? "Mas"? Maybe, there were a couple of as? It could even be something like "masam"! I never know! And I knew that I was not able to read this thing, what was my explanation? "People who knew the language would just remember the way each word look and read them easily". And I was so proud of this clever invention! So, yeah. I don't know about a whole language, but I am just sure that I am a creator of one of the worst writing systems (He used 2 as a letter, i placed ь in the box because I had no more ideas of how to write letters, I ran out of lines. It was placed in the right upper corner. No other letters had a similar shape. I remember it so damn well. And oh, you know what this letter do in Russian? It indicates that the consonants before it is palatalized. It played the same role in script. Except, there was no way to say which letter goes before ь, so in a word with this sign one or more letters was meant to be read soft)
