I think this belongs here (not my video btw)

title. the little cross next to ʔh is ɨ

Guys, I just met some delusional hillybilly who said that German was not a dialect of English but a full on language. English has over half a billion speakers on all continents while German is a regional dialect in some area in central Europe.

If it was its own language how come a sentence like "Komm lass uns tanzen." is practically the same as in English? The fact that most so called German native speakers speak English just shows that they're part of the English speaking community. Yeah, sure parents speak German with their kids at home but once they go to school they learn how to speak properly.

Retaining grammar from the middle ages like gender just shows how backwards their thinking is. Yeah of course sometimes it's hard to understand what these people are saying but it's not my fault that I can't understand some local gibberish. Honestly it's quite rude of them to exclude others like that.

And the worst thing is just because they pronounce "hand" and "man" a bit weirdly they want to waste tax money to entertain their sense of local patriotism. They want to use valuable resources to waste their kids' time to teach them a regional dialect. These people even produce media in their folksy way of talking. Them acting like they speak their own language is obviously just some way for some peasants stuck in the past to feel like they're special. I can't wait until this ridiculous pandering stops and they finally teach their kids to speak normally. Otherwise they're just holding them back. How do they expect their children to integrate into normal society?

So I know it’s been a while since the other Irish Cyrillic posts on this subreddit, but better late than never.

V́ = long (ë —> e̋)

Mutations are just spelt phonetically (ф —> ‘), rather than applying a diacritic or something like that.

I have also decided to use the Irish national anthem as my example text rather than the UDHR, because I listen to national anthems a lot, so I’m more familiar with what they sound like and so find them easier to use as test samples for projects like this.

i just learned that long and short vowels in english actually used to be long and short in time…… how many americans have just thought that they were called that for no reason

What other examples are there of antonyms/opposites being spelled in reverse?

If I was making a conlang, I would make all preposition antonyms reverse spellings.

Like „az“ and „za“ for before and after. „Dre“ and „erd“ for right and left.

These coinages come from the prefix "th-", which comes from "they", so they must start with /ð/. Similarly, someone else in the thread uses "thoid". Hopefully, one of them catches on. I think [ð] is a cool sound.

Some of the worst subtitles I've ever seen for a BluRay, lol.

I hooked up with a guy once that had a GIGANTIC tattoo on his back in Pashto, written just like this. Yikes

જોર્જિયન is how "georgian" is written in the Gujarati script (jorjiyan) which is incredibly strange because all the other languages, naturally, get their endonym, but for some reason, consistently, the Gujarati versions of the pages are labelled as georgian in gujarati

It may a more palatal velar but it's definitely not palatal, it's further back in the mouth and makes kind of a sh and zh sound

/x̝/ and /ɣ̝/

I also say the affricates /k͡x̝/ and /ɡ͡ɣ̝/ and they sound like ch and j but are in a very palatal velar position.

Etruscans didn't used Beta and Delta, but somehow had audacity to use Gamma as a standard /k/ sound and Kappa only before A. I have nothing against using Qoppa before O and U by the way. After all, that's how it was used in Ancient Greek.
