"I have a bicycle" - good on you "The bicycle went to the store" - bizarre "I attached a leash to the bicycle" - ...inventive? "He took off the bicycle's collar" - good "The blind man walks using his bicycle" - not a good idea "I made this sweater for the bicycle" - ...artistic? "The squirrel ran away from the bicycle" - normal "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy bicycle" - fox has more spare time and energy than I do
This is absolutely amazing, and a mere peek of what a non-human language could be (artificial or alien). After all, it sticks to human compositionality, human word order, and even human abilities to voice and gestures. And yet it's so, so far from any existing natural language. Art.
There is an aspect of concreteness here that isn't fully present in Jan Misali so I think this video falls withing the triangular bound between those two and Khan Academy
Oh my god When I saw the polyhedra bouncing around, I thought it was glorious. When I got to the concept map, I was horrified. This is awesome! Although the plosive box and the fricative box bounce off each other, but I think you could get the vowel pentagon to play with them too. if you bend the vowel range down 90 degrees and extrude the region out, it may work. The pentagon turns into a pentagonal prism the length of the boxes, so it can't be flipped over, and the extra dimension does nothing to the pentagon. I don't know how that would work linguistically, but I think it works geometrically. Your idea of the concept space at 8:40 kinda inspired me I suppose if we wanted the most efficient words, we would take our map of concepts, and split it in half. A "0" but would mean one side of the hyperplane, "1" would mean the other. Each side of the plane is also split in halves, all the way down and we just keep sending out bits until we are satisfied with our precision.
The final pronunciation sounds like there's a joke hidden for if you play it backwards, but I cannot be bothered to download and figure out how to play it backward
i honestly entirely unironically love this idea of non-discrete/continuous morphology or w.e. that tone example for encoding 'certainty' via rising/falling is actually p smart lol
This is a poor man's infinite complexity! Why not simply project out the extra dimension (its topology makes it redundant, anyway) and place the phoneme space on the boundary of a 4D fractal?
This makes me want to study linguistics again lol. I'm waiting for an n-dimensional language based on the computational rule / hypergraph evolution framework from Wolfram 😅
10:26 thank god someone finally made a place for me to dump my mommy issues! one score and two years ago, a demon spoke into my ear, and it was my name on her tongue.
I mean technically it has every phoneme English does, except l- and the r-colored vowels, or opening diphthongs, would be broken up into two syllables with an inserted glide.
Why do conlangs need to be audibly pronouncable? Just make all your constructions written with no association with actual speaking. Honesty that's almost what Chinese writing is.
I've always wanted a language that sounds like a Transformer with dying batteries thank you so much 🙏 (genuinely though amazing work, I didn't understand a second of it but it was amazing)
I dont think you can really aspirate a fully voiced consonant, because of how aspiration works. The aspiration is a short segment between a consonant and a vowel that is basically just you exhaling air with the same phonation of the consonant in a way that seperates the consonant from the vowel. The vowel is usually voiced in some way, and usually fully voiced. Now, if both the consonat and the vowel have the same phonation then the aspiration is more like a written thing or an underline thing then a surface level thing, if you carch my drift
@@Poopick It's sort of the voiced equivalent of aspiration, they have it in Indian languages. It's like aspiration, but instead of voicelessness, it shifts the following consonants up into a weird register type thing that's hard to describe
@@zzineohp isnt it just murmured consonants, as in "breathy voiced"? like there is some aspiration but its not like b̬ʰ but more like b̤ʰ (excuse the ʰ as substitute for superscript ɦ). So the aspiration is not voiceless, but murmured, like the consonant. You probably know about the bʰ dʰ ǵʰ gʰ gʷʰ, so those are pretty much the same bʰ dʰ ɖʰ ɟʰ ɡʰ of sanskrit which are inherited from (and anyone please correct me cause im doing this from memory) the indo iranian bʰ dʰ ɖʐʰ(?) dʑʰ ɡʰ (or something along the lines). They are just murmured. The pʰ tʰ ʈʰ cʰ kʰ came only later in the sanskrit, and i do not know about an earlier version in the indo iranian prototype.
I believe the Bekenstein Bound places a finite upper limit on the actual complexity. You'd only get an uncountable infinity of possibilities in classical mechanics. However, some (very) rough (mental) calculations put it in the neighborhood of exp(10²⁸), which should suffice.

You took the discrete chart of vowels and went "Nahh I can make this a continuous scale like the vowel chart". Impressive.
