I am a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male who is so attractive. I speak so many languages that it isn't even fathomable by the average monolingual beta. If you are a monolingual beta, you should be looking forward to my book.
These are the craziest alphabets in the whole universe.

This video was filmed and edited 95% before I went to the hospital. Still taking it relatively easy, but I'm already doing so much better. It is wild how some people actually thought I was joking about having medical issues lol. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement to those who believed me! I'm working hard to finish The Hyperpolyglot Handbook which will be the ultimate language learning guide that will change human history forever. Stay tuned.

Fun fact: The Vai syllabary was invented in about 1833 in Liberia by Mɔmɔlu Duwalu Bukɛlɛ, who was inspired by a dream to create a writing system for the Vai language. In 1854 a German philologist, S. W. Koelle, met Duwalu Bukele while researching the Vai language. He was told that in Bukele's dream a tall, venerable-looking white man in a long coat appeared and said "I am sent to you by other white men ... I bring you a book." Bukɛlɛ was then shown many signs, but couldn't remeber them when he woke up, so he made new signs with some friends. Another theory is that the Vai syllabary was inspired by the Cherokee syllabary. A number of Cherokee emigrated to West Africa in the early 19th century. One of them, Austin Curtis, married a Vai woman from an influential family and became a Vai chief. It is possible that he was involved in some ways with the creation of the Vai syllabary. The syllabary proved popular with the Vai and by the end of the 19th century most of them were using it. In 1962 the Standardization Committee at the University of Liberia standardized the syllabary. A Vai version of the New Testament in the Vai script was published in 2003.

The church-slavonic cyrillic alphabet has a lot of interesting features. There are 3 different systems of writing: poluustav, vyaz and skoropis. Poluustav was used as a main script in books, it has a lot of diacritics and acronyms for holy words. Vyaz was used for the titles and represents the ligatures of multiple cyrillic characters. Skoropis was used for handwriting.

Љ - ly, normie letter (ль) Њ - ny (or ñ), a bit different (нь) Ћ - light cousin of Ч (чь) Џ - dzh, a Д and a Ж combined Ђ - dj, a letter not even satan can grasp (џь) Ј - seriously we just took the american J and turned it into a Й Hope that sums it up!

The languages written in my sketchbooks are my favorites. For liturgy, we have Anlai which consists of iconic symbols like chinese, but they're pronounced as a stack of pictures of your mouth, like korean. Next, you have Anguli which is those Anlai symbols, but with American and Hebrew words thrown in in an alphabet halfway between the Anlai mouth pictures and the American alphabet. It's used to define new words in Anlai covertly.

1. ŋ What it's called: Eng. Who uses it: Many African languages (e.g., Bambara, Bemba, Dinka, Ewe, Ewondo, Fula, Ganda, Maasai, Nuer, Shilluk, Tuareg, Wolof), several North American languages (e.g., Nuu-Chah-Nulth, O'odham), and a few others. What it stands for: The "ng" sound as in "sing." Where it comes from: The letters n and g merged; it was designed by a typographer in 1619. In English: We should have started using it as soon as it was invented, because we need the darn thiŋ. But it only shows up in pronunciation guides. 2. ɔ What it's called: Open o. Who uses it: Mainly African languages from several linguistic families; e.g., Aja, Akan, Bambara, Dinka, Ewe, Ewondo, Nuer, Shilluk, Twi. What it stands for: The vowel sound you hear before the "r" in "or"; or, in some accents of English, in words such as "caught." Where it comes from: The International Phonetic Alphabet. It was made by turning the letter c 180 degrees. In English: The English alphabet has never had a place fɔr it, except in some pronunciation guides. 3. þ What it's called: Thorn. Who uses it: Icelandic. What it stands for: The consonant you hear at the beginning of "thin." Where it comes from: The Elder Futhark runic alphabet. It was borrowed by Old English and Old Norse because the Latin alphabet didn't have a letter for the sound. In English: This used to be an English letter. It and the letter eth (ð) stood for the sounds at the starts of "thin" and "this," and were often used interchangeably. (Icelandic also uses ð, just for the consonant you hear at the beginning of "this.") Why did we stop using it? Because Europeans didn't use it, and European-trained scribes didn't like it. When we got moveable type, the letter sets didn't include it. For a while the letter y was used to stand in for it, as in ye for þe (yes, the word the - it was not pronounced "ye"), but finally th won out. Advertisement 4. ƿ What it's called: Wynn. Who uses it: Old English did. What it stands for: "W." Where it comes from: Those runes again. Notice that this letter lacks the ascender you see on þ, and the bottom of the loop angles down like in a y rather then up as in a p. In English: The letter w has only been its own letter for a few hundred years. Before that, languages that needed it often used uu or vv (which used to be the same letter - u was just a variant form of v, and both were used for the sounds we now write u and v), but Old English scribes decided it made more sense to borrow a proper distinct letter for it. But it fell out of use. In fact, today even in modern printings of Old English texts the letter w is used, because ƿ looks too much like p. Wynn? More like can't win! 5. ƕ What it's called: Hwair. Who uses it: Gothic did, but no one has spoken Gothic for about 1200 years. What it stands for: "Hw." Where it comes from: The letters h and v merged. In English: Although we used to have hw (or hƿ) all over the place - respelled now as wh - we never used this letter. Don't know ƕy not! 6. ƣ What it's called: Gha. Who uses it: various Turkic languages used to; they've all replaced it with other letters now. What it stands for: Usually a voiced velar fricative - which is like the "ch" in German "ach" but voiced. Where it comes from: A modified version of a handwritten q. In English: We've never even thought about using this letter. English did used to have the sound it stands for, but it used a different letter for it. 7. ȝ What it's called: Yogh. Who uses it: No one now, but English and Scots used to. What it stands for: A voiced velar fricative (see above) or the "y" sound, usually. Where it comes from: A handwritten form of g. In English: At first, English didn't need this letter; then it did, so it used it. Then it replaced the letter with gh because of those darn Europeans (see þ, above). Then it stopped using the sound. Meanwhile, Scots, also under the influence of European letter sets, replaced the letter with z, giving rise to names like Dalziel (pronounced like "deal"), Menzies (pronounced like "mingis"), and Kenzie (which used to be pronounced like "ken ye"). 8. ʒ What it's called: Ezh. Who uses it: Some kinds of Sami, which is spoken in Norway and a bit of Russia; also, some African languages. What it stands for: In the International Phonetic Alphabet, this stands for the "zh" sound you hear in "pleasure" and "Zhivago," but Sami uses it for a "dz" or "j" sound. Where it comes from: A handwritten form of the letter z. In English: We've had the sound in our language ever since we borrowed it from French, but we treaʒure our leiʒure too much to exert the effort to use a new letter for it. 9. ʔ What it's called: Glottal stop. Who uses it: Mostly North American languages (e.g., Klallam, Nuu-Chah-Nulth, Chipewyan). What it stands for: The sound between the vowels in "oh-oh" and "uh-uh," and the sound we usually make in place of the "t" in "button" - and that Cockneys (among others) regularly replace "t" with in many places. Where it comes from: A development of the form of an apostrophe to look pretty much like a question mark without a dot; it's the symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet for this sound. In English: Where we need to represent this sound explicitly, we usually just use an apostrophe. So do many languages. But apostrophes are used for so many other things… Do I think we'll ever start using this in normal written English, though? Nuʔ-uh.

Hi nice video, im from sweden and I need to share a fact about our wonderful letter å. It is pronunced 'ao' and yes that little oreo ring above the a is in fact a little o.
In actuality though, I think the ancient Sumerian script is a contender for the weirdest. Even if you ignore that it's the first script ever, it's done in a similar style to hieroglyphs, where they try to combine smaller pictograms to make bigger words in a way that's so awkward that they would often need to include clues to help the readers figure out the meaning, but they also had to do this in a script where you could only draw golf tees.

In Africa you did forget about the Ge'ez script (Ethiopia, Eritrea).
I enjoy your videos and your humor, but I would like to humbly offer a small correction: "ä," "ö," and "ü" are not considered separate letters in the German alphabet. However, letters with diacritics are considered separate letters in some languages, like Hungarian, where the letters a, á, e, é, i, í, o, ó, ö, ő, u, ú, ü, and ű are all considered to be separate letters. It seems strange, I know, but it helps to think of it like this: in Hungarian, the letter “á” is really no more a letter “a” with a mere accent than is the letter “m” merely an “n” with an extra leg. And could you speak a bit faster? It makes uptake of videos quicker and, unfortunately, You Tube does not go higher than double speed.

@@deutschesmanutter1395 And this is it! The key of pronouncing the letter ح is to avoid overexerting yourself and straining your throat. Instead, focus on learning the language as a whole and practicing with native speakers on a regular basis. With time and consistent effort, you'll find that your pronunciation will naturally become more like that of a native speaker.

In France they have more accented letters unless the string is capitalized, and they magically turn into regular letters. The A-ring-above letter is a Stargåte. That's a strange lowercase Beta in a more-or-less Times typeface. The Psy looks like a candle holder. Most of these foreign alphabets recycle similar shapes for different letters that are hard to tell apart. The Indian alphabet looks like the letters have been hung to dry on a clothes line.

2:27 It's kinda true. In early 18th century cyrillic alphabet was redisigned by Peter the Great to make it look more -latin- american
I'm learning Akkadian and Sumerian right now, love the Cuneiform symbols! Sumerian is proving to be crazy though, tons of ways to read the same symbols. So it's always a mess trying to find the right combination that makes up real words and a sentence.
Interestingly the Kannada Language has two letters that also look like among us characters, the ಡ and ಢ 😀😃.

@@julianwitkowicz9783 honestly, kind of. Because in our country (Morocco), our first language is arabic and tamazight/tashelhit (Berbers' language), and Berbers are the original people of Morocco, but not all of Moroccans can speak it or understand it. And the problem is, we don't even teach tashlehit/tamazight in schools nowadays (expect in few regions (ex : Agadir..etc )). Also to mention that most of the elder population are illiterate, so they can speak it, but doesn't know how to write or read tifinagh... Fortunately, there are tv channels that are dedicated to broadcast movies/series in tamazight/tashelhit with arabic subtitles, and educational programs teaching the language. Sorry for long comment, but I tried my best to answer your question and explain the situation in here (Morocco). Btw, Berbers were not only in Morocco, they were in North African/Maghrebin countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya), but they are a lot of words differences (but still same letter ofc).

For phonetic writing system, it's [meaning]→[pronunciation]→[writing]. i.e. you first decide how to call a thing, then use an alphabet to write down how you pronounced it. For Logogram writing systems, it's [meaning]→[writing]→[pronunciation]. i.e. you first decide how to write down a thing, the meaning stands, different groups of people pronounce them differently. For example the character 雪 pronounce as [xue] in Chinese, [yuki] in Japanese, [nun] in Korean. Chinese characters (also Kanji) is not alphabet. Because alphabets are representing sounds. Mandarin do use Latin letters alphabet in Pinyin, which is phonetic writing system for Mandarin.
