Okay but can we change its name?

Okay, but importantly: Who's that character on Agma Shwa's pillow? 😳

People need to chill for real

An anti abugida but the vowels are historically logograph that has been jumbled up (preferrably to 3) and the consonant are just radicals that also denotes grammar that is based on the vowel letter, and make a few of them diagraph because of historical spelling, i'll call it "radicalize anti abugida"

As far as i know every country has its share of "extremely patriotic" people that think their language started all others and dates at the beginning of Human kind for example in countries like Greece italy, arabic speaking countries, china, turkey ,israel, even in Bulgaria and albania there are such myths

I think reviving all the ancient Canaanite and Levantine languages would be amazing. I mean the Levant used to be so lingualy diverse, with Phoenician, Amorite, Edomite, Moabite and Hebrew, and so bringing this diversity back would be so cool

You could’ve cheated and used thorn or Þ for the th sound, even if it isn’t Cyrillic, is a letter tailor made and exclusively for this sound

Are you Joe from tall hallway

Me also a Japanese learner: Learns hiragana fully in a day and around a hundered kanji in a week Also me: been studying for 7 months and still only know 2/3ds of katakana...

I heard to speak Arabic and speak Esperanto cuz had no Arabic long words or anything like that and you should get better at words

What I find extremely funny about Nylands Theory is that the Story of the Tower of Babel would end with: and thats why we have different Languages… only there wouldn‘t have been any different Languages at the time of writing

This is probably the oddest way I've seen someone inform others about an ongoing genocide and cultural suppression

Add the heavily disagree with what you said about Islam we do not agree with the Christians about the language and what languages came from we disagree Islam says something totally different

They did that to save us lol

What if he turned out to be right

is Nyland inspired by Rudbeck, like Homer's stories are set in Scottland vs Atlantis is in Uppsala

I love the idea of Zamenhof, to have more respect for other cultures and languages and to understand eachother better. But Esperanto can only be a European language, never a universal one, because it only took from European languages. Also, claiming to be an easy language is correct, but claiming to be THE easiest language ist manifestly wrong. As an Esperanto learner, I like the idea of allowing everyone their language(s), and have Esperanto as an extra. But I am extremely vexed at the low quantity of interesting Esperanto books. Like, come on, Harry Potter and Warrior Cats have been translated in almost every language but not in Esperanto. Even the books of Roald Dahl have only seen the recent translation of Matilda into Esperanto. Most Esperanto books are old, or not very interesting (especially to non European readers). The only reason I still continue is because I like the idea behind it of trying to connect to people while simultaneously not trying to force them to become like you. Esperanto is centuries behind in amount of books, youtube channels, apps,... I found an Esperanto club not too far away from where I live...most people are 65+. Some 50. I feel very much out of place there. Everything just feels so dying out. I prefer learning Esperanto on my own and be busy with it at home. I should not blame Esperanto for the little attention it has gotten. English has taken the place Esperanto imagined itself. I still like the language, though. Ne gravas la lingvo kiu ni parolas, sed gravas la amo por la lingvojn kiujn ni parolas

Indian numerals are derived from Egyptian hieratic numerals

You should try studying the “Enochian” language. Apparently it is the language of the angels according to some medieval english magicians or something. Really fascinating language, whether it is really the language of angels or just made up by nerds in medieval times is up for debate.

We should also being back the language that existes in chalcolithic iberia. Which is said to be the oldest written language ever found. It is written in runes before any runes in scandinavia or elsewere.

as an indian, it drives up the f*cking wall how linguists can't pronounce "devanagari". come on you guys can pronounce everything else but not that? just a small rant i had. love the video. please enjoy your day.

How does a a dog without a nose smell?... "it stinks"...lol...

I am outraged that you've omitted the most important and comprehensive linguistic theory: all languages have been seeded by aliens. This elegant theory also explains appearance of life, evolution, pyramids and coconuts.

UA-cam, for GOD SAKE I love linguistics change my alghorithms NOW !

To pros and cons. 1. Problem with wierd symbols is exagregated. Now I can see so many cool symbols in my German keyboard that you probably cannot find as well (ä, ö, ü, ß), but you can still change a keyboard layout and apply some stickers if you need them. 2. East asiatic languages have so few cognates so if Esperanto replaces dankon and saluto with arigato and nihao it will not change a lot for japanese and chinese (don't even mention karean, vietnamese etc) feel any better. They aren't sharing as much as romano-germano-balto-slavo-hellinic anyway. 3. Real problem: people are not generally into learning and not into learning language in paricular (just check for school basics could prove my words, few people can few years after school e.g. balance a chimical equetion, solve a square equetion, answer trivial history questions and yes make a conversation in a forign language learned in school). Which will create a precondition there is no strong base to create content ans services to (English has natives, Esperanto not quite and wierdly distibuted), no content and services -> no reason (immediate reward for a casual user) to spend time and energy learning it -> no monetary reason to create content and services.

I still like the Germans killer joke: "Two peanuts were walking down the strassa and one was "a salted," peanut...

Macedonian = Bulgarian, Czech = Russian

someone's educational background and date of death has nothing to do with the validity of a hypothesis

wtf. no one cares about your opinion of dolphins and sharks in a linguistics video.

BOCK SAGA!!! Di a blo

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.

God confused the tongues after the tower of babbel. it's really obvious if you aren't a godless redditor.

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/

I have an English translation of this joke below.....if you dare to read. ,

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

What's up with the Belgian flag at 7:34 when you clearly say German?

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.

altaic is not genetically false, it is controversial but the consensus that it's only a sprachbund is nowhere near universal

check out the yi script, looks like alien
