That was great. When I saw your showcase of Agēre, I felt a bit intimidated by its complexity. Birasne Feor, however, made me believe this complexity appeared organically and is not actually rocket science. I'm looking forward to your next videos on Conlang Creation. I'm about to start my first real conlang (when college lets me to) and am taking all the newbie advice I can take.
I love the idea of there being linguists in your world studying their own languages! I still need to evolve my languages more (since there isn't much for them to study yet) but that's definitely something I want to implement in my world!
I'm fascinated by how you made Birasne Feor's roots. Instead of certain concrete words that meant one or two things and are specifically either noun or verb or adjective, etc. you made them more like how PIE roots look, their forms shifting in subtle ways and only in those forms are they grammatically viable. Might I ask how could one approach this particular method of roots for a Proto-Lang in a naturalistic conlang? This is really inspiring and I'd like to try it for myself 💜 Love the video! Cheers~
I love the classsic romance like sound of this language it flows! 😃 One of my conlangs called ha linga [ha: lingha] tries also to sound somewhat classic. Greetings from over seas 👋
I wonder, if the speakers created a logography to transcribe their language, what the logography would transition to via the rebus principle. Could be an abjad given the low vowel inventory, but with the many diphthongs… Though matres lectionis could be utilized, and logographs could still be used as determinatives to clear ambiguity.
Not to be incredibly nitpicky to an annoying degree, but it looks like in the sound chart at 1:43, you used the character for the voiced retroflex nasal instead of agma in the pre-nasalized velar stop.
Perhaps! There’s a “glottal-like plosive” which, like Indo-European pharyngeals, has several proposed actual realisations, and whose existence is only proposed due to the various traces it left on Birasne Feor’s descendent languages.

sounds like tons of hard work! i love the nahuatl/finnish sound of the birasne feor ^^

I hope one day to hear all the canals on the chart, particularly Eagro and Keor Nivie
Very well thought out!

Very interesting, I like it 👍🏼

Oops. I'll hand in my conlanger licence immediately!
Are [q] and the glottal stop distinct phonemes?

Interesting
Does this have any inspiration from arabic? As arabic also has a three vowel system and the dual. Nice video btw. 😀
no tense?
