    Once upon a time, This language was invented by the demons of the third circle of hell as a way to communicate with the other demons, much like english is used for international communication. For you see, in hell, there are languages that only some demons can speak while others simply can't. So, the creators of douleur invented a language that all demons can understand and speak. At first, satan did'nt like the idea because, well, this is hell. Nobody cares about understanding each other, right ? But robespierre (not THE robespierre, just a demon named robespierre) , the creator of douleur, presented the counter argument. I shall now translate what he said to lucifer as a counter-argument. "Well, my dark lord, would'nt it be me easier for the conquest of earth if all the demons who infiltrate the human realm on your behalf spoke the same language ? After all, if your soldiers can't understand each other, then how are they supposed to carry out your orders ?" So, the lord of the flies accepted and made douleur the official language of hell as a whole and taught it to the damned as well. And they all lived in relentless suffering, agony and aguish forever and ever until the end of time.

      The funny thing is: that's not a joke. It's gnomic as in the Greek gnosis. It is used to refer to eternal truths. Most Native American languages have it, actually.

    I just noticed your font makes lines in apostrophes and quotation marks identical, so when under phonotactics it talks about "'" (apostrophe in quotation marks) it just looks like a pair of quotation marks with nothing in them and one of the marks having three lines. An extra little bit of cursedness to make even talking ABOUT this language weird. EDIT: I wonder: Did you just pronounce θͬæͬɐ̃ͬχ̓ɤ̞̃ɐ̃ͬlͬ perfectly once and edit it on, or were you mad enough to pronounce it every time, every take?

      @@stephenkramer7157 The things some of us will go to to entertain people on the internet.... By the way I've noticed: The language's name seems to have 3 syllables, with a significant pause between the ɤ̞̃/e and ɐ̃ͬ/u. How come these two vowels are so separate rather than being a diphthong? I apologize if this was explained in the phonotactics section, I don't know linguistic terminology that well yet outside of the IPA.

    ok i know you said the trilled vowels are a cursed sound that the mouth can produce but don't exist in language, but I actually use those sounds when speaking french. in works like 'trois', I end mixing a uvular trill throughout the vowel

  • @JohnSmith-of2gu
    @JohnSmith-of2gu 4 місяці тому

    WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!? How do you come up with, much less execute, the idea of a conlang with infinite trills who's orthography corresponds *exactly* to the French bee movie script without giving any indication it does so? You utterly brilliant bastard. Even before the punchline, I burst out laughing every time your normal smooth English was interrupted by the hellish growl of you pronouncing the language name. I haven't smiled so hard in years. Even if it only takes you 5 seconds on average to come up with an article and you work 15 hour work days, that's still 13 days of work to make that insane excel spreadsheet. Are you OK? Do you need a hug?

      Don't worry. Agma's video on how few phonemes a language can have showcased a web app for autogenerating words base on custom phonotactics. The hard part was getting excel to populate the bloody spreadsheet once I imported the words.
