The Evolution of a Maori Word #Shorts
NOTE: This is a short, but RUclips are still rolling out 1+ min shorts, so it may display as long-form for a week or two. Hopefully they're working on it. Watch it as a short here: ruclips.net/user/shortsoALCyqXNZc4
In my recent video, I really wanted to include a certain word, but due to the way I do those videos, I couldn't. So here it is on its own!

This video begins our series on how to make your own constructed language! This episode looks at phonology - sounds and sound systems. What are sounds? How are they produced? What types are there? Which do you add to your conlang and how? This is episode one of the series, but I highly recommend you watch the introduction video - a kind of "episode zero" if you will.

      Oddly enough, it actually doesn't I thought the leave section was an umlauted form of loaf, but nope It's from Latin Specifically through French it was levayn in Middle English (probably pronounced luh-VINE as French loans weren't as anglicised yet) Got that from Old French levain Which inherited it from levāmen in western dialects of Vulgar Latin, being a noun forming men suffix attached to the verb levo meaning to raise. Which is also the root of levitation, distantly) Noun forms because leaven was a noun first, and a verb later even though that's the most common use of it today

      It survives in many Philippine languages, usually in the form 'tao' or something similar. The Yami people of Taiwan's Orchid Island call themselves the Tao and their native name for their language is 'ciriciring no Tao', literally "speech of the people". The Toraja, an ethnic group on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, also preserve this root in their name, "to riaja" meaning "people of the upland".

    Forgive my voice in this one - I'm just coming off a nasty cold/freshers' flu. When I make my 22 words videos, there are always words I want to include, because they capture some important aspect of the language's evolution, but can't because of my personal rules for which words I include. Here's one such word from my recent Maori video! RUclips are currently updating shorts to be able to be up to 3 minutes long, which is great, as I couldn't do this one without that. However, they haven't fully rolled it out yet, so this may display weirdly for a few weeks until they figure it out. You can see it as I intended with the link in the description.

    Can you make a similar video on Indo-Aryan branch? There’s not a lot of content for it on RUclips which is a shame.

    • @LexisLang
      @LexisLang 17 дней назад

      It is a shame. I'm hoping to do a video on one member of the branch in the next few months (currently thinking 3-4 months time). I do really want to look into it more though. I'll try to do a few bits here and there. :)

      @@LexisLang Oh, cool. In that case, Hindustani would make for a good video. I think that you’ll have fun with it, especially the phonology and the evolution from Sanskrit to modern IA languages might even resemble Latin to Romance languages. Indo-Aryan branch is the only one (afaik) that kept the voiced aspirates of PIE which gives it a unique look amongst other IE languages. Later, it also developed voiceless aspirates, possibly through the PIE laryngeals + surrounding consonants (you’ll have to read some studies to fact check). And also, the additional series of sounds like retroflex sounds. By the time of Vedic Sanskrit, we get the four-way distinction that is still present in most IA languages.

    12:17 Interesting, kwetwor/petwor seems to correspond to Irish/Welsh ceathair/pedwar (Also, pempe and Welsh pump are almost the same)

    • @LexisLang
      @LexisLang 18 дней назад

      Yes! In Celtic, kw stayed distinct, then became /k/ in Goidelic and /p/ in Brythonic. Celtic correspondences to other IE branches are often obscured, but I think numbers is one area they're quite clear. :D

    lima stayed the same until the "L" became a french R

      @LexisLang 20 дней назад

      Maori's R is an alveolar tap - French's is a uvular fricative. But yes, until that one change,it was very stable. :)

      I suspect the early scholars on the subject. Remember that the capitals were probably originally unknowns and other parts are based primarily on Malayo-Polynesian (hence s and S). But it is a funny one. :)

      @@LexisLang Fair, really unlucky that 2/4 of the capitals are _identical to their lowercase counterparts,_ which are _also_ letters in the notation. I guess you'd get used to it after a while so it's not worth the effort to update, but.. jeez...

    1:20 I as a Russian-speaker can perfectly understand Proto-Slavic language. Litteraly, every single word. What I can't say about Proto-Germanic. I also speak English (B2) and German (C1), but I hardly understand anything at all😂 And it's interesting, actually. Apparently, the Slavic languages (or at least Russian) changed more slowly than the Germanic ones 🤔

    • @LexisLang
      @LexisLang 20 дней назад

      Don't forget, Proto-Slavic was spoken more recently than Proto-Germanic (at least the form presented here). Perhaps you'd understand West Germanic a little better, or Early Slavic a little worse. Rate of change may well still be different, though. :)

    If you could add a mainland Scandinavian language to the list, I'd appreciate it -- sometimes I get the feeling that only specialists take the North Germanic branch seriously.
