    As someone who is interested in both quantum physics and linguistics, the fact that someone put the word "quantum" and "linguistics" together sends shiver up my spines. I cannot describe how much hedonia this collocation stimulated inside my brain. I will not experience such ecstasy again even if graviton were discovered or we finally understand what is on the other side of an event horizon in the future.

    For /dʒ/ you could use Џџ (dzhe), which is used in the Macedonian alphabet. For /h/ you could use Һһ (Shha/Ha), used in the Kazakh alphabet. For /θ/ and /ð/ there are Ҫҫ and Ҙҙ, both used in Bashkir. For the vowels you could try transcription, maybe use Іі (Dotted I) for /ɪ/ and Ии for /i/

    My favorite crackpot language family theory is the Dene-Caucasian family. It proposes that the Na-Dene langs, Sino-Tibetan langs, Caucasian langs, Basque, and a few North Asian languages are part of one family. That's right- Basque, Chinese, and Navajo are relatives according to this theory

    I think it might be a good idea to incorporate the character "ð" from Icelandic for "th". We should take "ж" from Russian for the "zh" sound. We should also borrow "ñ" from Spanish. May make our lives easier after the period of adjustment.

    i will speak for languages ​​that are completely extinct (languages ​​that can be revived), phoenician(i am very surprised that no one wrote about it in the more than 600 comments), akkadian, some south arabian peninsula, some native american languages and maybe some anatolian languages(by hellenized anatolians) should be revived. because the direct genetic heirs of those who spoke these languages ​​at the time are still alive and their numbers are millions.

    IMO the closest macrofamily to be widely accepted in the near future would be Austro-Tai (rather than Dene-Yeniseian), actually. Like, the list of core cognates is pretty robust, and the regular correspondences are plenty, including even the tones of Kra-Dai languages with the final consonants of AN...

    Thank you for the video! One mistake you made though about the Dutch use of grammatical gender. We did not actually drop all our genders. There used to be neuter, feminine and masculine but we dropped the feminine and replaced it with masculine. Feminine “Den” got replaced by “De” Meaning that “Het paard” has always been “Het paard”

    Nyland is the Swedish name of Uusimaa and is pronounced [ˈnyːlɑnd] (in the Finland Swedish dialect), both meaning "New land". According to Wiktionary the surname actually comes from Norwegian, but still has the same the same meaning and doesn't list any other uses in Norwegian. edit: why tf does agma schwa have a Lapis body pillow?

    I know Basque and I'm sorry to tell you that batua is probably not a good source as it was designed by a nationalist 100 so years ago called Sabino Arana. Yeah it's true he took things from here and there with little adaptation but in some cases i feel he butchered the languages that were before. I mean, all of our verb declinations, times and modes fit into one side of an A4 sheet of paper (except trinkos, which are like compacted due to heavy use). And nowadays it's mainly used as a means of indoctrination. Everything thanks to some terrorists that have stain the region forever IMO
