4:42 I totally have that happen all the time and I haven't even made that many conlangs. A bunch of times I'll make a unique root and then apply a set of sound changes and it always seems to come out spelled the same or pronounced similarly to an English synonym or the word from another language.
One of my conlangs has the root *ngur- for cattle (with an initial velar nasal), and I invented that way before watching you the first time. I don't know, it just sounds bovine to me
4:42 I accidentally made the 2nd formal pronoun in one of my langs "tu", which was entirely not on purpose, the proto form was "tustih" and sound changes just smooshed it
One time for a conlang of mine, the accusative 2nd person plural pronoun sound-changed out to be "you" (pronounced with a diphthong, as spelled.) It was completely unintentional and I found it very funny!
4:20 All the time, but if it reminds me of enough different stuff I like to think I've hit a sweet spot. The main thing I try to look out for though is various offensive words and phrases. It's alright to have unintended connections, but there are some that should be avoided if possible.
I really don't like letting affixes shift stress. I like to specify the stress rule as something like "stress is on the penultimate syllable *of the root*"
About adding a stress rule, I think the important part is to somehow know exactly how affixes affect stress (presumably it depends on when they are applied). It might also be worthwhile to ask at what stages of language stress phonemic and to what extent. I think the phonemic contrastiveness of stress has a big effect on what a language is likely to do with stress. Perhaps its metalinguistic use might also matter. (I was just thinking about the fact that, although some languages don't have phonemic stress because stress is always in a part of a word determined by it's phonology, I think other languages like French have non-phonemic stress that is purely based on phrase structure and semantics & pragmatics and can fall on different syllables of a given word in different situations.)
I've been working on my own conlang for a little while and your videos have helped so much. But could you please make a linguistics 101 video. There's a lot of terms you use that I don't understand and it makes some of these hard to keep up with
I don’t think stress shifts are particularly rare, especially if there are few words that distinguish words purely on lexical stress. In Cornish stress shifted from the final syllable to the penultimate sometime in the eleventh century. In French I believe the stress shifted to the final syllable and became non-phonemic, to the point where some experts consider French to not have lexical stress. I think PIE is commonly believed to not have had lexical stress (similarly to the French situation I mentioned before), leading to the descendant branches creating their own stress system, like the Germanic languages shifting stress to the first syllable of the word stem. Old Norse also had a rule which in Norwegian is called jamvekt, which has lead to some modern dialectal variation in modern Norwegian and has lead to the loss of the final vowel in certain words in certain dialects, and that rule has something to do with stress, but it’s too complicated for me to understand properly.
As a French, I can confirm : you could talk like a machine and still be understood. You'd sound weird of course, but no meaning would be lost except for emotions. It is also well inserted into the common imagination of people that when someone doesn't understand you, you have to talk LOUD. AND. SLOW-LY.
Jamvekt is based on root length in two syllable words. Norse had distinctions between both long and short vowels AND long and short consonants. This led to three potential word lengths: short VC, long VCC or VVC, and overlong VVCC. Short words kept the vowels in the end syllable, but the others lost or reduced the second syllable. So for some examples, old norse to generic Eastern rural dialect: Vera > væra (to be) Kasta > kaste (to throw) Dœma > døme (to judge; œ is long ø) Dýrka > dyrke (to cultivate) Some dialects also went through a vowel levelling afterwards, leading to trøndersk *bårrå*, *vukku*, but that's a little beyond me. It's a complicated system but makes a lot of sense even from just knowing the basics!
My native languages are English, French, and Spanish, of which I heard Spanish only when my mother talked on the phone and didn't learn all that much. I was once with a Hispanic church group on a trip to a lake. I saw a dragonfly and exclaimed "¡Libelula!", placing the stress on the , where it is in French. The pastor's wife snapped "¡Libélula!" I was a bit annoyed that she snapped at me, instead of asking how I knew the word, which I had never before uttered in Spanish.
I personally think you should have gone with the standard method of naming animals that just about every language seems to have gone with beyond English; naming them after the sounds they make.
I briefly had an idea of evolving a conlang in my fantasy world that was mutually intelligible with English by bizarre chance, despite all the etymologies being totally unrelated, and then I scrapped it, but, because of that, I still have a few morphemes that are INTENTIONALLY sort of like English. I also had [ŋo] as a genitive postposition in one language for a while, clearly ripping off Japanese [no], because I had an idea of a conlang where words seemed at least sort of intuitive (or at least not counterintuitive) for both Japanese and English speaker, but then I ditched that. On an unrelated note, I ended with the word for 1 in an important conlang being [æs] because of my sound changes, and kept it that way for a long time (because there's really no reason why it shouldn't be), until I finally decided I couldn't let that be and made is [æz].
I think you may want to exclude semivowels from some of your rules about (sonorant) consonants and write different rules for semivowels. I also think you need to codify exactly how long sequences of vowels and semivowels get reduced, because that seems to happen a lot and you seem to keep reducing them ad hoc. Also, I've found that, if one is being mechanistic like Lexurgy, it's often necessary to add (often repetative*) "clean-up" rules after sound changes to account for ongoing phonological rules, like things that were not allowed in the language for a long period of time. *i.e. The same type of rule as you've already applied before being rewritten multiple times after soundchanges that recreate the problem.
whatever you decide for the stress just make it so it's a clear rule so you're not 'feeling it out' and make mistakes or fall back on patterns in languages you're more familiar with.
Every biblaridion video is a mixture of silver and gold bricks not perfect but awesome and well made regardless of content may it be alien biospheres conlang a new idea it always ends up somewhat making you think keep it up bib
You might have an easier time getting the rules figured out if, every time you sound-change applier did something you didn't think it would do or didn't want it to do, you actually changed the program to so that it did do what you want. That way, while you're working out what happens in situations you didn't think about when you first wrote the sound changes (or at least the program), you're storing the answers you come up with in a permanent place. If you just go with your intuitions on each word, then different words will likely end up following contradictory rules. I think part of the advantage of a sound-change applying program could be that it forces you to be precise with how you describe your rules. There is such a thing as irregular sound changes, especially with common words and with uncommon sequences of sounds, and that was very relevant when you talking about inflectional endings and pronouns and stuff, but a lot of the things you're talking about in this video sound like they need to be dealt with with regular sound changes.

Here responding to your tweet about premiers vs non premiere I personally prefer the premiere because it ruins the surprise. However do what u need to for the algorithm so you can pump alien biosphere out to even more people more often hopefully
When a syllable is stressed, it usually sounds a bit longer, louder and/or higher pitched than the other syllables. When you say 'tomorrow', the '-mo-' should feel 'bigger' or 'stronger' than the 'to-' and '-rrow': toMOrrow
It’s hard to define, so I’ll just give an English example: “permit” (noun) and “permit” (verb) differ in stress only - both are /pə˞mɪt/ (/pəmɪt/ in non-rhotic dialects), but the former has stress on the first syllable and the latter has stress on the second syllable.
In any given multi-syllable word, the speaker may emphasise any of the syllables in the word. That emphasis is called stress. Some languages don’t have phonemic stress, meaning where the stress in a word is doesn’t matter, while most have rules that determines exactly what syllable should be stressed (the first syllable, the last syllable, the penultimate syllable, etc). Some languages (like Spanish) have certain words that are exceptions to these rules, and so can have words that are distinguished by stress alone. Other languages can have stress on any syllable, thus having many words that are only distinguished by stress. English falls somewhere between those two last categories. How a language marks stress can vary. Some (like Norwegian and Swedish) mark stress via pitch, and these languages are called “pitch accent languages”. The stressed syllable can be either higher in pitch, or lower, depending on the language. Other languages (like English) distinguish stress by loudness and/or vowel length, and these languages are called “stress accent languages”.
The blanket response to the “ooga booga where biospheres” comments is “when he’s ready.” They are a shit-ton of work. It’s next on the docket after the post-FeatureFocus case study vid. In this particular case, it’s expected by the end of the month FOR NOW (according to the Patreon)
I know this aint related to this video, but i have a question about alien biospheres part 11: will it be a premiere like part 10, or not? Part 10 was, well...part 10, so it was special enough to warrant a premiere, could the same be said for part 11? (Also i have no disrespect towards you conlanging enjoyers I just wanted to ask a question)
Your stress shift could be explained by a different dialect of the language becoming prominent. For example, when the East Anglian dialect of English became the standard in Elizabethan times, the stress pattern completely changed. The stress pattern then shifted again in Britain, but not in the Americas or Australia, when Received Pronunciation became standard in the 19th Century. Hence “aluminum” vs “aluminium”. Because British people stress the second syllable they try to front the vowel in the third syllable. Americans have been known to do the opposite with the word “judiciary”, because we stress the first syllable: so we often try to round the stressed third syllable as well. Which brings up the important point that vowels in stressed syllables are more likely to harmonize with each other than they are with vowels in unstressed syllables (which are usually reduced to almost schwa in rapid speech anyway unless they’re long or diphthongs).

Which brings up the important point that vowels in stressed syllables are more likely to harmonize with each other than they are with vowels in unstressed syllables (which are usually reduced to almost schwa in rapid speech anyway unless they’re long or diphthongs).
