Its just three languages in a trench coat that hangs out in dark alleys. Hits other languages with a lead pipe. Then digs in their pockets for loose grammer.
This is the best version of this, though I'd say it's closer to five or six languages - Welsh, Germanic (Anglo-Saxon invasion), French (William of Normandy), with both ancient and liturgical Latin and scientific Greek for flavour.
bro just sounded like he was speaking early-middle english by the end. insane how many sounds in our language have mushed together and mutated through the centuries
@Oke Ihenacho We all had to memorize and recite the introduction to The Canterbury Tales in the original Chaucerian English in my High School English class. I can still recite part of it today -- more than 40 years later.
i used to think accent marks were simply added confusion to languages, especially w so many like in french, but now i realize how much theyre actually helping us by literally LETTING US KNOW what sound to make!!!!
Oh 10000000% bro. Those are incredibly helpful in Spanish and Portuguese. Every time I work towards learning Portuguese especially I’m thankful for accent marks. That’s what convinced me that English would be greatly improved by them! You just chose French, which is automatically gonna be a confusing written language to read as a non speaker lol Their rules are also insane to me.
If you think about the evolution of England it's a Celtic pronunciation of a small mix of German, a handful of Latin a lot of French and ideas that it's stole.
I'm not a native speaker, but to me it sounded definitely like a german trying to speak latin (or vice-versa)! Awesome (and pretty funny) results, btw!
@@bfurquim A German wouldn't have a hard time pronouncing Latin though as they are basically phonetically identical. An "A" makes an "a" sound, an "E" makes an "e" sound and so on. "ae" is a somewhat controversal topic but the generally accepted standard is that it's ponounced like the German additional vowel "ä", which also happens to be alternatively written as "ae" if, for example, your typing on an international keyboard that doesn't have these additional vowels. The most unintuitive things a German might find in Latin I'd say is the lack of the letter "k" and the use of "c" instead and, if one is looking at original texts, the fact that "u" and "v" were both written as "v" making Gajus Julius Caesar look like that: Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar.
Actually, accents are due to English having different phonemes (sound libraries) than their native language and having to substitute the closest equivalent.

In Czech Republic we also pronounce everything with phonetic consistency. When you see a word written on a paper you automatically know how to pronounce it. It is so natural to me, that at the end it was very easy for me to follow the Shakespeare's Hamlet and predict in my head how you'll say it just from the text. Funny how brain works.
I started practicing Czech on Duolingo and I can confirm that this is true, based on my limited experience. There are no pronunciation tricks with Czech. And the accent marks you use are simple and meaningful. I happened on Czech accidentally, and I just love the language. It is really beautiful.
This is reminiscent of the phonemes from the TRS-80 voice synthesizer introduced in 1979. I spent hours at the keyboard creating combinations of letters that made the pronunciations correct.
ahahahahahahahahahahaha. This one thinks english was ever consistent. Consider that the culture of the british Angles was a conquering tribe from Germany, taking over the romans. The angles had a germanic history born from the gaulic celts of france, the romans, and the norse danes. It was a brew of many tongues, even back then.

Sounds like a Germanic French Pirate attempting an Irish accent but ends up doing an English accent that half way gives up and turns into a Swedish accent.
Because the British the Brithonic speakers/culter and following conquerors got reconquered by Romans, anglo-Saxons, Vikins, Normans. Each brought new ways to speak with them and parks stuck to the English. Englsish should be called Mongrel.
@@thetimetraveller2671 and Spanish is basically 100% consistent. It's beautiful. If you know 5-6 basic spelling and pronunciation rules, you know how to spell or pronounce anything.
Modern English derived from French and Germanic languages, as well as Latin. There might even have been some Scandinavian influence when the vikings invaded. In fact, the word 'Enlgish' has origins from the Old English word 'Englisc', it came from Germanic settlers in the 5th Century. It's no surprise you found a mix of these languages.
This was awesome. After making it phonetically consistent, English started to sound like a foreign language; still a close relative of English, but different enough to be it's own language. Kind of like Spanish and Portuguese.

It’s so interesting how when you do this you can actually pick up on the hints of Latin, Celtic, German, French, Spanish, Italian, modern English, and other languages or dialects all of which interacted with each other to form English.
No really. Most languages have more complex grammar and simpler writing. So learning how to speak is easy, learning how to write is difficult. I never had an English lesson in my life, still i could speak it by the time i was 14 but even now with 40 i cant write it without auto-correct.

They had a phonetically consistent language, which is actually commonplace. English is unique in it nonsensical pronunciations, which is why towards the end, it sounds like a combination of almost all other western languages.
@@mchagnon7 i think the real problem is that each english alphabet has different functions and pronunciations in certain circumstances while other languages only designate one specific sound for each alphabet or vowel
It sounds dumb because you're not used to it. My accent probably doesn't sound all that different, even though I know how words are supposed to be pronounced. So in both cases it's just different from what you may be used to.
If you want a variation of that feeling, look up Scots. It’s just similar enough that there’s some mutual intelligibility, but it’s always off and a language you don’t speak. Unless you do speak Scots
It’s sounds like a Viking who’s trying to learn French, but gave up half way through because he thought English was easier, but kept the french Viking accent Then somehow mixed up England and Germany and tried learning English from a German who barely understands it

As an european, this is exactly why i was so confused in 4th grade like bro i learned the alphabet why does every word sounds so different😂
Because the British the Brithonic speakers/culter and following conquerors got reconquered by Romans, anglo-Saxons, Vikins, Normans. Each brought new ways to speak with them and parks stuck to the English. Englsish should be called Mongrel.
Same!

@@thetimetraveller2671 and Spanish is basically 100% consistent. It's beautiful. If you know 5-6 basic spelling and pronunciation rules, you know how to spell or pronounce anything.
You switched between Gaelic, Swedish, French, German, Latin and Italian just by making English consistent... crazy
uP
Considering English has roots in the Gaelic, Germanic, and Latin languages, makes sense
Modern English derived from French and Germanic languages, as well as Latin. There might even have been some Scandinavian influence when the vikings invaded. In fact, the word 'Enlgish' has origins from the Old English word 'Englisc', it came from Germanic settlers in the 5th Century. It's no surprise you found a mix of these languages.
Wait, which one sounds german? XD
I'm german, but I'm terrible at judging accents
Interestingly enough, those languages ARE phonetically consistent
"Tobby, or not Tobby, that ais the queestaion"

"NOOO, GOD! NO, GOD, PLEASE, NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

So yeah I noticed that after a few changes it started to sound like OP
This was awesome. After making it phonetically consistent, English started to sound like a foreign language; still a close relative of English, but different enough to be it's own language. Kind of like Spanish and Portuguese.

I suddenly have a whole new respect for the programmers who do text to speech in English!
Someone badass
Telling the truth youtube automatic translator often understand a word for another... English is pretty much a DIY language!
Programmers don't make knowledge bases, and their information is taken appart from the algorithm.
What the video actually proves from a programmers point of view is the impossibility to parse the English language algorithmically.
Therefore, text-to-speech programs rely on databases containing all english words in the phonetic alphabet.
They would use phonetic versions of all words, not the words themselves

It’s so interesting how when you do this you can actually pick up on the hints of Latin, Celtic, German, French, Spanish, Italian, modern English, and other languages or dialects all of which interacted with each other to form English.

I now understand what non-native speakers who don't know or speak the language hear when we speak English.
There is a great video for that, I think the title is "How do non english speakers hear english"
No really. Most languages have more complex grammar and simpler writing. So learning how to speak is easy, learning how to write is difficult.
I never had an English lesson in my life, still i could speak it by the time i was 14 but even now with 40 i cant write it without auto-correct.
Thought that native English speaker can know a word, it's pronunciation and meaning, but not know how to write it down even though he/she is literate - is funny to me to this day...
Nah english isn't that difficult
I must say, halfway through the video he sounded like a Nigerian speaking English.
Tbh English is my third language and it’s the easiest language I know 😂

Best comment ever XD
@@MeltingMellons Sul sul**
They had a phonetically consistent language, which is actually commonplace. English is unique in it nonsensical pronunciations, which is why towards the end, it sounds like a combination of almost all other western languages.
@@mchagnon7 i think the real problem is that each english alphabet has different functions and pronunciations in certain circumstances while other languages only designate one specific sound for each alphabet or vowel
This sounds so sophisticated and so dumb at the same time
I choose 2nd one
I choose 1st one
On point
That's the fun of language my friend
It sounds dumb because you're not used to it. My accent probably doesn't sound all that different, even though I know how words are supposed to be pronounced. So in both cases it's just different from what you may be used to.
This is so weird, it’s like hearing a language you don’t speak but understanding the words
If you think about it literally, it's the exact opposite of what you just said xD hearing a language you speak but not understanding the words.

@@AllieDuguid100 you'll have to learn the IPA, but also figure out what all the words sound like, find the vowels, practice the sentences, and start over after a mistake. Granted it's not hard, but it's time consuming since this video's only 3 minutes long
