Music, linguistics, and whatever else I'm bored enough to make!
The Maltese Language
Hey! Some backstory behind this video-I had already wanted to talk about Maltese for a little while, and then I get hit with an assignment for my linguistics that literally asked me to make a video talking about any language spoken in Europe. Go figure!
__________________
NOTES
• The Darija sentence near the end of the video used to illustrate the pronunciation differences between it and Maltese uses words like ṭ-ṭfal that aren't as common as their non-cognate counterparts (d-drari in this case). Such words were used anyway since the goal was to illustrate the difference in pronunciation between the two languages which is most clearly shown through cognates :)
• I normally don't describe languages as sounding "harsh" or "softer (than)" or whatever, twas simply one of the requirements for the assignment lol

Inside the Piano Room

Inside the Piano Room is a collection of piano improvisations, field recordings, and ambience I recorded on and around my family's old grand piano during my last visit. Many of the songs were based on the irreplicable feelings I experienced being surrounded by nature and a part of my family I'm extremely grateful to have had the chance to see.

Azorean Portuguese and what makes it Awesome

Today we talk about Azorean Portuguese and what makes it unique (and really beautiful in my opinion). As I said in the video, I just started college so life has been a bit busy which is why this upload was so late, but I hope to change that with some more language and music content coming soon :) Again, I'm also considering streaming (and will make a community post about it), so let me know wha...
INSANE Basque linguistics theory (#2)

In episode 2, we look at Edo Nyland, a Dutch researcher proposing that Basque and Ainu are ultimately related to the ancient Saharan language, explaining what's wrong with the evidence he gives.

Marshallese's phonemic SOCCER BALL vowel
Переглядів 9 тис.2 місяці тому
Today we talk about the time a linguist used *emojis* to transcribe the unique vowels of a poor language: Mark Hale and his 2000 paper on optimality theory which uses Marshallese as a main example and point of discussion. I tried messing with my audio a bit and I think it sounds better in this video, so please let me know what you think! RESOURCES & REFERENCES • [Mark Hale's original paper] - w...
Interlinear Glossing EXPLAINED!

This video shows you the basics of glossing in accordance with the Leipzig conventions as of 2015-the industry standard for most linguists. As a side note, I’m having huge problems with my microphone which is why the music feels kinda loud in this video (since I needed to cover up the weird buzzing noises lol), but I’m gonna look into it and it should hopefully be better in the next video.

The COOLEST alphabet (and how it could be improved)

SENĆOŦEN’s writing system initially terrified me-using a comma (cedilla!?) as a letter and whatnot-but its wholesome history was enough to change my mind.

It's been so long
😢😢😭😭🙁
😍😍
3:38 Apologies for any potential ignorance but wouldn't "reġinijiet" being produced by native speakers automatically make it part of Maltese grammar? You make it sound as if these speakers are making a mistake even though it's their language
Great question! I wanna make it clear I'm not prescriptively assigning a "correct" plural form and saying they're making a mistake otherwise, just rather that the instability of Maltese plural formation can trip up a lot of native speakers, kinda like how lots of native English speakers get confused with the past and perfect inflections of "to drink"-that verb has so many vowel alternations that I myself have said things like "I haven't dranken anything" which is technically ungrammatical-obviously you'll be understood n stuff so it's okay in accordance with descriptivism-but still an interesting observation. Lmk if that makes sense!
Wow they applied Arabic word forming to loanwords? The madlads lol. Actually thinking about it we sometimes do too but it's usually when you're improvising a word. For example years ago my cousin asked me: مالك مَفَسْبِك كدا؟ Roughly: Why are you Facebooking so much?
thats awesome!
As a Maltese myself I am surprised to see a new video in my recommendations about my native language! Thanks for taking interest in this unique language.
it's a lovely language :D
This video was such an insightful and well-researched dive into the Maltese language! It’s amazing how you’ve managed to balance both the academic side of things while making the content really engaging and easy to understand. The way you explained the pronunciation differences between Maltese and Darija was super clear, and I loved how you used cognates to highlight those distinctions. Even though you mentioned that you don’t normally describe languages as harsh or soft, I think you handled that part of the assignment really well-it didn’t feel forced at all! It’s also cool to see a linguistics project that goes beyond the basics and really digs into the uniqueness of Maltese, especially since it’s such a fascinating blend of influences from Arabic, Italian, and English. Your passion for the topic really shines through, and it’s clear that you put a lot of effort into making the content both informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us-it definitely gave me a deeper appreciation for Maltese, and I learned so much! Looking forward to more videos like this!
The influence of Italian languages is beautiful on Maltese. First time I was hearing Italian-accented Arabic
epic awesome video
Your videos are so great! ❤
means so much :)
Oh boy oh boy!
What do we have here!
maltese is one of my favorite languages!
i really want to learn maltese one day. i love the Semitic languages and maltese looks really cool to me.
You should!
such a beautiful language, it completely took me off guard how nice it sounded to me
right!?
Great video! I hope you get a good grade for this assignment!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
SECOND!!!!!!!!!!
this is pretty insane... damn you're very talented
this made me laugh a lot lol
This is so good! I've been waiting for you to upload music, and this is sounds amazing!
this slays and were you to release it on apple music it would def be in my ears por siempre y mas
AWW quizas quizassss les mantengo al tanto :)
yet another sundro banger:)
Incredible!
This is really cool!
this shi crazyyy bru
UA-cam recommendations can be amazing sometimes
Beautiful
nice!
There is a reason for all this whack, and it makes us question our conventions, but describing the phonemes of this language we could stick to plain i, e, o, and a for convenience
indeed! this is what modern analysis of marshallese does
The weirdest part is the "Great Phonological Bracket Shift" of ⫽⫽→//→[]→🧍🧍
4:27 "Atrapalhados" sounded exactly like how we say it, pretty cool. And now that I hear it, it sounds kind of russian haha. Edit: am I the only azorean here? :(
don't think so! i think i saw some other ppl say their family was from the azores
1:15 - You can't colonise a place where no one lived. The Azores were populated by us. The same with Madeira, Cabo Verde and São Tomé e Píncipe, all inhabited islands when we arrived there.
This was a very interesting video as a concept. It's a cool niche no one else is exploring, and that's soooo refreshing. Also, escuché mal o eres hispanoparlante? Also also, tem um bello sotaque de portugués, cara.
thank you so much! sí soy hispanohablante-mi mamá es cubana y me enseñó desde chiquito :)
What does <c> stand for in that Germanic auxlang? Hope to be there next time
I'm pretty sure it's chiefly used in digraphs like <ch> and <ck> /x k/ respectively
Finally a video talking about the interesting linguistic characteristics of this accent! It is really hard for me to find a source to know more about it
we need to see Aman, the doc looks so cool
AWWW i do plan to talk about it one day :))
Love the stream! 5:27 one small note, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say 'Meteen kom ik', to be honest it sounds ungrammatical, I think we’d probably say 'Ik kom er meteen aan' or 'Ik kom nu'.
yeah that pair of words absolutely isn't common, i was just using it to show V2 word order (sociolinguistically it's not accepted but in grammatical theory it is, kinda like how no one would say "i come immediately" in English unless intentionally trying to sound old-fashioned)
This is *wonderful.*
the audio for the stream is only in the right ear 😭 wish i didnt miss the stream though :(
I KNOWWW i need to fix that :// it's something weird with my microphone
27:09 Holy crap!? Splatoon!? Man I wish I was there!!! 😢 29:35 Omg how do u make that voice it’s cuuuuute x3 Finished this one
What the fire
LMAO
I wonder if the wind is a factor in the vowel shift? I’ve heard that as an explanation of the coastal dialects in eastern USA
certainly innovative; i've never heard this before but its always worth looking into
damn, i should've picked a better spawnpoint
NOO what time zone are u in (if comfortable answering)?
