You know one of my dreams? To have a synthesizer with a keyboard featuring all sounds, so you could hit consonants, vowels, consonants, etc....And after you stopped, the synth would speak the IPA sounds perfectly. Someone could code that !!
@@LadoX It could, but then for each word in each language you would have to map the pronunciation with each letter in the word. In 'Language', for example, there are two 'g's with different sounds. Let alone languages with inflection like Mandarin and such.
I've discovered by myself if the origin of our alphabet, Phoenician, seemingly invented by imitating the mouth, because many of the letters looks like Korean letters and they all pronounced the same and the rest which aren't available in Korean can be fitted to the mouth anatomy, and Korean alphabet was invented by imitating the mouth. The hieroglyphs linked to the letters seems meant to be used as a helping tool and or to add the meaning. I'm not saying if they're related, but how it was invented. It's all started my research when I saw the cursive Korean M looks like the Hebrew M I'll make the sheet for the full explanation on reddit (I'd have it already but it was too hard to understand and caused misunderstandings), and I'll give you the link if I've made it. And from this discovery, I think if we can create something better than IPA and no more weird-looking characters
Yeah, I noticed you had a much more dramatic pitch drop after the implosives than is common in the languages that use them that I've heard. There was a simiar thing somewhat with glottal stops after ejectives. Some languages like Navajo always follow ejectives with noticably long glottal stopsb but it's not really necessary. With [t'] and [k'] you had a long glottal stop the first time and about none the second time. With [p'] and [s'], however, you followed it with a long glottal stop both time.

Impressive performance. I use ipa as a guide for my students when teaching them songs in a language they don’t know so I know how difficult it is. Bravo
I'm Japanese speech therapist student. this video is so helpful for our study. Coz, almost all Japanese ST teacher can't pronounce IPA(or, just only use for part of Japanese pronunciation).so this video is my only IPA textbook. thanx soooo much.
Thanks so much for your comment! I am glad I can contribute in helping people. I am a therapist too, but of a different kind (psychotherapy). All the best from Germany!
It's super interesting as an English speaker to hear sounds that people with various accents use, like some Eastern European sounds and some South Asian sounds were particularly distinct to me.
@@ConlangKrishna yeah and Thanks for making this video (only video I could find on YT about IPA table) I'm really interested in phonological aspect of diffierent languages so this video is really helpful indeed😊
Indeed, most languages in India have retroflex sounds, while they are quite rare outside of Southern Asia. So, basically, yes, I must sound Indian to you 😉
My mom's real language is Javanese, and it was heavily influenced with some loanwords, and when chola empire influenced the area, they added retroflex to its language
I'm here because I had an idea of a science fiction language that aims at using the entire IPA (including the undiscovered consonants) to create the most efficient spoken language humanly possible. The only exposure I have to any other language was 3 years of Japanese in high school, so this was quite an eye opener. After seeing the video, I realize that the idea might have been more unrealistic than I initially thought because I never would have imagined some of these to sound so similar! Anyways, great video. I bet it helped people in much more unique ways than me.
I love such creative ideas! And you are right, not every phoneme is easy to tell apart from every other phoneme. There are good reasons every language "makes a choice". You might be interested in the constructed language "Ithkuil". It aims exactly at the idea of expressing as much as possible with as little as possible sounds. It is fascinating, and very complex! www.ithkuil.net/
The vowel version of y would be fun too. It sounds incredibly close to e so languages don't use it. However, it is pretty noticeable on its own with a tone, so it could be a special particle virtually never paired with anything else and even one of the few words with a tone in the language.
Mr "Krishna the Conlanger": This is a great achievement all done by yourself. You are great. Congratulations! Please keep up with your good work and your hobby!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this out there. Hearing all of the sounds one after another really helped me better conceptualize the whole chart on a much deeper level. You, sir, are one of the greats and is absolutely going on the list of people who I would let eat my body when I die.
This is so informative, I loved listening to your pronunciations and trying to mimic them myself! You helped me discover that I actually CAN pronounce clicks once I saw you demonstrate the correct tongue placement!!
Thank you! Best IPA pronunciation video on RUclips I've found! This video reminds me of my grandmother, who always reads me the IPA chart before going to bed.
So useful! I've been learning several different languages recently for daily and occupational use. The only written learning material i have is in IPA, which is a bunch of gibberish. Now I know how to read the ones I often meet. THANKS
I am Sindhi and our languages has almost all of the voiced implosive's (except for the uvular implosive, we have every other one) you did a really good job at pronouncing them!
@@ConlangKrishna Thank you! Our language has a very large phonetic inventory mostly consisting of many, many aspirated sounds, retroflex sounds and implosives. Most Indian languages have retroflex sounds and aspirated consonants already but we are known for having an unusually large inventory of implosives.
Great job! This video is the best you can find on youtube and the most accurate (you struggled a little bit with the central vowels, but those are indeed difficult, as you said). Congratulations! If only you had included all the affricates too it would have been perfect!
this is an incredible video! thank you very much for making it!!! :) As someone from greece I find the amount of sounds I can do is very limited so this really helps me understand what's happening in the IPA chart :D
Thanks a lot! ❤ Greek actually has more sounds than letters in the Greek alphabet. If you check the Wikipedia article about 'Modern Greek phonetics', and read the part about 'consonants' well, you will realise just how many consonants Modern Greek actually has.
I feel honoured. Dialects often show quite subtle differences in pronunciation. The additional diacritics can be useful there, to distinguish between similar sounds. I can also recommend Luciano Canepari's phonetic alphabet (canIPA). It has more symbols. Canepari and colleagues also studied dialects (e.g. of Italian).
@@ConlangKrishna I'll definitely check out his chart! My professor has us using the IPA chart voiced by Peter Isotalo and I've been using it throughout the semester. It has most of the sounds on the IPA chart!! Having most of the sounds pronounced in this video seemed easier for me to understand though!!
Find it a lot easier to consider pronunciation in different languages having watched this video, especially watching how you are producing the sounds and linking them to mouth placement etc. Thank you for such a helpful video! I haven't found one like this before, it was just what I needed for conlanging :)
Thanks man! I tried interactive IPA charts, but I couldn't see the sound being formed so I couldn't possibly know if I was making the sound right. This video really helps. Thanks again! :)
As a singer, I thank you for this great reminder of the sounds I learned in college. I would also love a video of the sounds by themselves, without a vowel before or after.
I love your video! Thanks for this! I highly appreciate it. Have been searching for IPA lesson and came across this video. I really love it! Thanks a ton!
Thanks! I'm making a conlang so this really helped for unique sounds in my conlang. But I don't understand about the velar thing. You did pronounce the velar consonants
I am glad you could find inspiration for your conlang! In my other video about "all the sounds in human languages" I forgot the velars, and added them in a separate video. Perhaps that is what got you confused. Keep conlanging!
Yeah, the Czech "ř" is very rare. It sounds like a tongue-rolled "r", but somehow "rougher". As "ř" is produced with the tongue slightly higher in the mouth than the more common "r", it can be transcribed as [r̝]. That's a "raised alveolar trill".
Thank you ever so much for this! I had wondered why we were taught the IPA represents every phoneme because we could only relate it to English...now I know 🙂...I'm from Kolkata,India🇮🇳🙏
It took me ages to find this. Thank you. This helps a lot. I think the other thing that would be very useful would be a couple examples of words in languages that use these sounds. But, that's a lot of work. I have a hobby of learning writing systems. It's still a relatively new hobby. I'm on my fourth writing system just now (Arabic), having already learned Latin (obviously), Cyrillic and Hangul. I suppose I could probably fumble through Greek. But I've noticed how often language learning videos use English letters and words to try to teach the right sounds. It's an incredibly frustrating way to try to learn appropriate sounds. This has led me to the IPA. Perhaps it's time for me to start using it. I've always been told I've a natural talent for getting the sounds of languages right (but, sadly, the talent doesn't carry over to grammar at all.)
Thanks for your comment! Yeah, language learning can be a lot of fun. Finding the right resources can sometimes be a challenge, but I have the impression you know where to look. Grammar is often overstated in language courses, while pronunciation is neglected. I have experienced many times how grateful people are, if you only say a few words in their native tongue. Go for it! 👍
Thank you Krishna! Such a nice work. I'm trying to acquire some phonems since I decided to learn Slovenian and I find it difficult (as a native Spanish speaker). Even feeling right now that my brain is going to explode with all sounds, I'm totally sure I'm going to learn to pronounce it Thank you again!!
my first language is english and i have taken korean and spanish and it was very obvious the sounds that are not in one of those languages. this will help me learn my indigenous language, thank you so much!!
Awesome video! I have figured out the consonants quite well, but the vowels are not nearly as straightforward, but I will keep working on it. Understanding this chart really helps when explaining pronunciation to my chinese girlfriend.
Thank you for your feedback! ❤ Indeed, vowels are way less precise than consonants. They differ a lot depending on dialect, person, surrounding sounds. I have uploaded a video about vowels here too.
As a monolingual English speaker, it was difficult to distinguish between many of these sounds. I recognise sounds from languages I hear in subtitled films, but I guess my brain hasn't been wired up to correctly detect the subtleties of other languages. :(
A very good observation. As long as you do not speak a language that makes a difference between sounds, your brain does not consider that difference "important enough" to hear a difference. Just start with a language you can use in your surrounding. Language learning can be lots of fun.
I'm interested in mastering this; some are very difficult to tell the difference though (native English speaker)... how long did this take you to learn?
As I have grown up in Luxembourg, I had learnt five languages before going to university. That helped quite a lot in getting to pronounce languages. But it is a constant process, and I am still learning, twenty years later. What I can say: One can learn any language, if one learns regularly and is surrounded by that language for some time.
john edward for any native speaker of any other language as well unless you are an ithkuili native speaker. For Spanish speakers and our 5 vowel language it’s hard to learn and perceive the IPA vowel chart.
oh my god, thank you so much!!! i really want to study linguistics and i'm highly interested in phonetics. recently i have been feeling like i lost all my motivation and energy but this video of yours surely brought me some joy that genuinely made my day! thank you for making today an easier one, i definitely needed that!!!🍪💞
I am glad I was of help. And do not give up. It took me years to understand some linguistic and some phonetic concepts. But it has never become boring.
In standard Spanish, there are two kinds of 'r'. The classic examples are: "pero" (but) in IPA /peɾo/ "perro" (doɡ) in IPA /pero/ Both are produced with tip of the tongue. With /ɾ/, it touches the roof of the mouth once, with /r/, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth several times, that's the "rolled r".
Thanks much, I'm gonna create my own AL. At first I have to standarize all the phonemes in my language but even if I have already chosen some sounds I'm not sure how to write them in IPA and if they are what I think they are
OMG 😱 How'd you do that?!?! I was very interested in some of those voiceless with a dot underneath n, z, s, r, ect because there's normally no sound examples of them. Overall you did a great job!!!
Tommorow morning i have a presentation about this chart, I'm completely didn't know about this, thank god i found your video. it really helps me to pronounce every alphabet, thanks a lot.
Thanks for listening carefully! Could it be thar you speak a dialect of Arabic? I am asking, because the dialects differ in the pronunciation of "ayin". The sound I am trying to pronounce here is the voiced pharyngeal fricative, which is ONE of the possible pronunciations of "ayin".
Hi krishna, I find difficult to differentiate between [R] and the voiced uvular fricative . is the [R] the one used in french? could it possible if you could give us examples of words that use each phonemes. thank you I love this video! keep on making more of these,the few you have are great!
Hi Mr e, thank you for your friendly comment! It's true, these two phonemes only differ very slightly. When pronouncing the uvular trill, the uvula moves up and down freely, there is quite some space between upper and lower part of the vocal tract. The sound is more "rolling". When pronouncing the uvular fricative, the space between uvula and back of the tongue is much narrower, so that you produce a more "rasping" sound. Both French and German use both sounds, but the fricative is much more common in everyday speech. The trill gets mostly used, when speaking slowly and clearly. I do not know of any language, where the two represent different phonemes.
thank you very much! It's good to know both sounds are used. It's really difficult for me to accuralty do the uvular trill when speaking french, it's a relief that I could choose either of these phonems.
Finally, IPA descriptions not specific to English.
Exactly!
In my case, I should look for 'AFI en español' because if I search for 'IPA Spanish,' I get a bunch of Spanish speakers explaining the English IPA, but in Spanish. Haha

Sorry but I laughed at the Implosives. Really instructive video, will probably watch it several times !
:-) I can understand your reaction! They are quite unique. And I struggle with some of them, you could probably see that too ;-)
Krishna the conlanger Yeah, and I'm not saying I could do better XD Currently learning arabic and the ‘ayin gives me a lot of trouble.
Yeah, I noticed you had a much more dramatic pitch drop after the implosives than is common in the languages that use them that I've heard.
There was a simiar thing somewhat with glottal stops after ejectives. Some languages like Navajo always follow ejectives with noticably long glottal stopsb but it's not really necessary. With [t'] and [k'] you had a long glottal stop the first time and about none the second time. With [p'] and [s'], however, you followed it with a long glottal stop both time.
(On a related note, you're aspiration of unvoiced stops was variable.)
I took phonetics as part of my degree (Speech Pathology) here in the US and we only learned the English phonemes pretty much. I found it frustrating to not be able to find everything that was in this video. Thank you for introducing all these!
Thank you! ❤ That is one of the reasons I made this video. I wish you success with your important work.

3:54 he sounds like Indian accent
Indeed, most languages in India have retroflex sounds, while they are quite rare outside of Southern Asia. So, basically, yes, I must sound Indian to you 😉
Many Indo-Aryan languages use those phonemes, including vedic and classical sanskrit, that's why.
My mom's real language is Javanese, and it was heavily influenced with some loanwords, and when chola empire influenced the area, they added retroflex to its language

The vowel version of y would be fun too. It sounds incredibly close to e so languages don't use it. However, it is pretty noticeable on its own with a tone, so it could be a special particle virtually never paired with anything else and even one of the few words with a tone in the language.

You, sir, are one of the greats and is absolutely going on the list of people who I would let eat my body when I die.
This is so informative, I loved listening to your pronunciations and trying to mimic them myself! You helped me discover that I actually CAN pronounce clicks once I saw you demonstrate the correct tongue placement!!
You're really awesome
much thanks for that, much appreciated
Greetings from Egypt
Thanks so much, Omar!
Thank you! Best IPA pronunciation video on RUclips I've found! This video reminds me of my grandmother, who always reads me the IPA chart before going to bed.
So useful! I've been learning several different languages recently for daily and occupational use. The only written learning material i have is in IPA, which is a bunch of gibberish. Now I know how to read the ones I often meet. THANKS
I´ve been struggling with IPA sounds the whole year, you save my life tysm
Thanks my friend! It's really hard to find a video like this. I appreciate your worth effort to teach us such difficult matter.
Amazing. I have never seen a person can pronounce so many consonants and vowels.
I am Sindhi and our languages has almost all of the voiced implosive's (except for the uvular implosive, we have every other one) you did a really good job at pronouncing them!
Thank you. That means a lot to me, as I did nor really know any language that uses them. I have to learn more about Sindhi!
@@ConlangKrishna Thank you! Our language has a very large phonetic inventory mostly consisting of many, many aspirated sounds, retroflex sounds and implosives. Most Indian languages have retroflex sounds and aspirated consonants already but we are known for having an unusually large inventory of implosives.
@@ConlangKrishnabasically every South Asian language has all the plosives except the uvular ones
Good job! I’m also a language lover and want to hear this for a long time. Now I finally found you.
This was so helpful, saved my life in my exam
Great job! This video is the best you can find on youtube and the most accurate (you struggled a little bit with the central vowels, but those are indeed difficult, as you said). Congratulations! If only you had included all the affricates too it would have been perfect!
Thank you so much!
To include affricates I have made this video only about consonants:
ruclips.net/video/7C-sibh4pAM/видео.html
this is an incredible video! thank you very much for making it!!! :)
As someone from greece I find the amount of sounds I can do is very limited so this really helps me understand what's happening in the IPA chart :D
Thanks a lot! ❤
Greek actually has more sounds than letters in the Greek alphabet. If you check the Wikipedia article about 'Modern Greek phonetics', and read the part about 'consonants' well, you will realise just how many consonants Modern Greek actually has.
Been taking my lingustic courses lately, your videos are really helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who wants to go into dialect coaching, I can tell i'll be referencing this video until I get the hang of it!!
I feel honoured.
Dialects often show quite subtle differences in pronunciation. The additional diacritics can be useful there, to distinguish between similar sounds.
I can also recommend Luciano Canepari's phonetic alphabet (canIPA). It has more symbols. Canepari and colleagues also studied dialects (e.g. of Italian).
@@ConlangKrishna I'll definitely check out his chart! My professor has us using the IPA chart voiced by Peter Isotalo and I've been using it throughout the semester. It has most of the sounds on the IPA chart!! Having most of the sounds pronounced in this video seemed easier for me to understand though!!
Nobody:
Dog in a propeller plane: 1:44
I hate you for this
I was thinking the same thing through the entire video!
AHHAHAHA TRUE
Find it a lot easier to consider pronunciation in different languages having watched this video, especially watching how you are producing the sounds and linking them to mouth placement etc. Thank you for such a helpful video! I haven't found one like this before, it was just what I needed for conlanging :)
Thanks so much for your friendly feedback! That was exactly why I uploaded this video. Keep on conlanging! ;-)
This tutorial, should receive a gold medal. Thank you so much. Muchas gracias. Dankeschon
Thanks man! I tried interactive IPA charts, but I couldn't see the sound being formed so I couldn't possibly know if I was making the sound right. This video really helps. Thanks again! :)
I'm glad my idea worked out well. :-)
Muito obrigado por este didático e objetivo vídeo! Thanks!
6:09 this is your good breath
6:13 this is your bad breath
So my native language's h-sound is bad breath?
@@moorddroomke What's your native language?
@@ashwinmiyer6159 It's Dutch
@@moorddroomke oh. Interesting to know even European languages have such sounds, at least for me
@@ashwinmiyer6159 Well, a number of Slavic languages have it, as well as Greek and some other.
thanks ive been looking for it for ages
As a singer, I thank you for this great reminder of the sounds I learned in college. I would also love a video of the sounds by themselves, without a vowel before or after.
Really useful for a language I'm working on in my freetime! Thanks!

I love your video! Thanks for this! I highly appreciate it. Have been searching for IPA lesson and came across this video.
I really love it! Thanks a ton!
I'ts crazy (and wonderful at the same time) to realize that I haven't heard neither pronounced half of these sounds in my whole life!
Nice to hear all these sounds. Starting my conlang journey. I bet pronouncing all of these was quite the workout
Dude, you got my respect, this is really damn hard...
I wanna make my own conlang with almost all the IPA sounds
Thanks! I'm making a conlang so this really helped for unique sounds in my conlang. But I don't understand about the velar thing. You did pronounce the velar consonants
I am glad you could find inspiration for your conlang!
In my other video about "all the sounds in human languages" I forgot the velars, and added them in a separate video. Perhaps that is what got you confused.
Keep conlanging!
@@ConlangKrishna Oh, I thought the velars was part of this video. Thanks for explaning.
Sweet video! I was wondering what the Czech R sound with a v on top would be.
Yeah, the Czech "ř" is very rare. It sounds like a tongue-rolled "r", but somehow "rougher".
As "ř" is produced with the tongue slightly higher in the mouth than the more common "r", it can be transcribed as [r̝]. That's a "raised alveolar trill".
Thank you ever so much for this! I had wondered why we were taught the IPA represents every phoneme because we could only relate it to English...now I know 🙂...I'm from Kolkata,India🇮🇳🙏
I am happy that I could show you more uses for the IPA. It can really be used for every human spoken language. Warm greetings from Berlin to Kolkata 🙏
It took me ages to find this. Thank you. This helps a lot.
I think the other thing that would be very useful would be a couple examples of words in languages that use these sounds. But, that's a lot of work.
I have a hobby of learning writing systems. It's still a relatively new hobby. I'm on my fourth writing system just now (Arabic), having already learned Latin (obviously), Cyrillic and Hangul. I suppose I could probably fumble through Greek.
But I've noticed how often language learning videos use English letters and words to try to teach the right sounds. It's an incredibly frustrating way to try to learn appropriate sounds. This has led me to the IPA. Perhaps it's time for me to start using it. I've always been told I've a natural talent for getting the sounds of languages right (but, sadly, the talent doesn't carry over to grammar at all.)
Thanks for your comment!
Yeah, language learning can be a lot of fun. Finding the right resources can sometimes be a challenge, but I have the impression you know where to look.
Grammar is often overstated in language courses, while pronunciation is neglected.
I have experienced many times how grateful people are, if you only say a few words in their native tongue.
Go for it! 👍
Thanks!!! Need this for my conlang. 😊
I'm using the german IPA sounds with 2-3 changes.
This is such an informative video on IPA ,the full chart .The you tube only shows the English IPA but this is so so good. appreciated .Thank you 😊
you are the only one I could locate some Arabic sound with, and the italian /t/
Thank you so much for the video, it helped me a lot with school work!
Thank you Krishna! Such a nice work. I'm trying to acquire some phonems since I decided to learn Slovenian and I find it difficult (as a native Spanish speaker). Even feeling right now that my brain is going to explode with all sounds, I'm totally sure I'm going to learn to pronounce it Thank you again!!
Sounded like you were in pain doing the voiced implosives😂
Amazing video! It's going to help me a lot to master all the sounds by heart. Thank you!
Amazing. I've been searching for something like this for a while now!
Man, that's a fantastic job! Thanks for producing this video for us!!!
my first language is english and i have taken korean and spanish and it was very obvious the sounds that are not in one of those languages. this will help me learn my indigenous language, thank you so much!!
Awesome video! I have figured out the consonants quite well, but the vowels are not nearly as straightforward, but I will keep working on it. Understanding this chart really helps when explaining pronunciation to my chinese girlfriend.
Thank you for your feedback! ❤ Indeed, vowels are way less precise than consonants. They differ a lot depending on dialect, person, surrounding sounds.
I have uploaded a video about vowels here too.
I finally understood the subtle differences between all the characters!! Thank youuuuuuuuu
just amazinɡ! my words are not enouɡh to thank you!
5:56 [ħ] and [ʕ] can be found in Classical Arabic as in [ʔal ħamdu] 'praise' and [ʔalaɪɦi] ˈto him' respectively.
This is so helpful! Thank you for making this video.
As a monolingual English speaker, it was difficult to distinguish between many of these sounds. I recognise sounds from languages I hear in subtitled films, but I guess my brain hasn't been wired up to correctly detect the subtleties of other languages. :(
A very good observation. As long as you do not speak a language that makes a difference between sounds, your brain does not consider that difference "important enough" to hear a difference.
Just start with a language you can use in your surrounding. Language learning can be lots of fun.
Outstanding work. I needed a video like this.
3:19 ASUHHH DUDEE
I'm interested in mastering this; some are very difficult to tell the difference though (native English speaker)... how long did this take you to learn?
As I have grown up in Luxembourg, I had learnt five languages before going to university. That helped quite a lot in getting to pronounce languages. But it is a constant process, and I am still learning, twenty years later. What I can say: One can learn any language, if one learns regularly and is surrounded by that language for some time.
john edward for any native speaker of any other language as well unless you are an ithkuili native speaker. For Spanish speakers and our 5 vowel language it’s hard to learn and perceive the IPA vowel chart.
@@mre6201 facts
Mr e as a french speaker it’s also hard to make the difference between ε and e pronounciation...
I'm an English speaker, and that one was the only one I've noticed (so far) that sounded incorrect to me. To my ear his "e" sounded like an "i".
I'm doing a coursera mooc and the IPA chart was in my readings. Thanks a lot for the video. You saved me quite some time 😎
Xenia Sa You are very welcome ;-)
That is not easy! Well done, and thanks!
Thank you so very much for sharing that with the world!
oh my god, thank you so much!!! i really want to study linguistics and i'm highly interested in phonetics. recently i have been feeling like i lost all my motivation and energy but this video of yours surely brought me some joy that genuinely made my day! thank you for making today an easier one, i definitely needed that!!!🍪💞
I am glad I was of help. And do not give up. It took me years to understand some linguistic and some phonetic concepts. But it has never become boring.
The bilabial click is just a kiss? Lmao
Hold the door Basically, yes! 😃
@@ATinyWaffle Omggggg I'm totally gonna use that pick up line XD
Great and informative video, thank you. Quick question, how would you transcribe the 'r' tongue roll you hear most common in Italian and Spanish?
In standard Spanish, there are two kinds of 'r'.
The classic examples are:
"pero" (but) in IPA /peɾo/
"perro" (doɡ) in IPA /pero/
Both are produced with tip of the tongue. With /ɾ/, it touches the roof of the mouth once, with /r/, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth several times, that's the "rolled r".
Italian has those two r sounds too. It mostly uses /ɾ/, but in slow or very clear pronunciation, Italian also uses /r/.
I'm confused as to why you add [l] at the tail end of the two lateral fricative consonants at 3:24 , and
I have a lateral lisp on only /ʃ/ type sounds (not /s/) causing me to articulate exactly as it seems like you did , but I pronounce [ɬ] and not [ɬl]
Super helpful! Thanks from Italy 😊
I am so impressed. I am SO impressed. I admire you ❤️
Amazing! Nice job! Must see many times
Thanks much, I'm gonna create my own AL. At first I have to standarize all the phonemes in my language but even if I have already chosen some sounds I'm not sure how to write them in IPA and if they are what I think they are
Creating a language can be a lot of fun. Perhaps my new video about 41 common phonemes can be helpful in this case.
OMG 😱 How'd you do that?!?! I was very interested in some of those voiceless with a dot underneath n, z, s, r, ect because there's normally no sound examples of them. Overall you did a great job!!!
In my other video, I did both rows, alveolar and post-alveolar:
ruclips.net/video/7C-sibh4pAM/видео.html
There you can compare [s̪] and [s]
Great lesson! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Tommorow morning i have a presentation about this chart, I'm completely didn't know about this, thank god i found your video. it really helps me to pronounce every alphabet, thanks a lot.
Good luck for your presentation!
Thank you so much bro, you saved me🙏 we are studying it in university and our teacher barely explained that to us and said to learn it
Small mistake at 6:00 (it’s supposed to be the ayin sound) but pretty impressive video
Thanks for listening carefully! Could it be thar you speak a dialect of Arabic? I am asking, because the dialects differ in the pronunciation of "ayin". The sound I am trying to pronounce here is the voiced pharyngeal fricative, which is ONE of the possible pronunciations of "ayin".
This is amazing.
Super nice!
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this!!!
Congrats man, it requires a genius mind to be able to do this.
Hi krishna, I find difficult to differentiate between [R] and the voiced uvular fricative . is the [R] the one used in french? could it possible if you could give us examples of words that use each phonemes. thank you I love this video! keep on making more of these,the few you have are great!
Hi Mr e, thank you for your friendly comment!
It's true, these two phonemes only differ very slightly. When pronouncing the uvular trill, the uvula moves up and down freely, there is quite some space between upper and lower part of the vocal tract. The sound is more "rolling".
When pronouncing the uvular fricative, the space between uvula and back of the tongue is much narrower, so that you produce a more "rasping" sound.
Both French and German use both sounds, but the fricative is much more common in everyday speech. The trill gets mostly used, when speaking slowly and clearly.
I do not know of any language, where the two represent different phonemes.
thank you very much! It's good to know both sounds are used. It's really difficult for me to accuralty do the uvular trill when speaking french, it's a relief that I could choose either of these phonems.
Krish, I think a diagram would help. I'm lost.
How are you so good at this! It's incredible!
