Having spent well over a year crafting my own conlang whilst diving into the deepest crevices of the internet to watch people drive themselves insane making languages and delving into the catastrophic rabbit hole that is linguistics, this singular conlang has stood out the most. I mean - I've had my fair share of conlangs with extreme morphology after watching Biblaridion's nightmare that is Ilothwii, but Dyrgidyk honestly feels more aesthetically pleasing and despite the absolutely ridiculous words like "sogzoloktaajmarkiğuumdanrumur" simply existing now in the deep catacombs of my brain, I love this conlang. Good work dude, keep it up!!
@shadestheshadow1992 can't tell if you're being serious or not, but it's not super hard to get a decently in depth grammar set up alongside a phonology in a day
@shadestheshadow1992 so true I once made a full conlang with like 200 words in 10 hours as a challenge and it wasn't too hard, it's just that now the idea that I could do this in 10 hours and I'm here struggling with a conlang I worked on for so long I've learnt it will haunt me forever
I think this is the best conlang showcase that I’ve seen so far! Very clear presentation, very good pacing if you ask me, and also quite funny at times. Loved it❤❤
This seems to be inspired by Turkish or another Turkic language, I can see the words such as kızıl (crimson) and demir (iron) have the same exact meaning. The language is agglutinative and the letters selected to present the sounds are exactly the same in Turkish except c and ç being swapped, I really like it!
Yay! This language's showcase tape has tocome! 🙌😁 Also, I laughed when I realised that the affixual cluster “-rumur” happened to sound a lot like “rumour” and “rumor”! 😅
Yo, this one is a little bit simillar to a conlang of mine called Akhamese. The vowels are 1:1 (besides the usage of "ı". I have "ë" instead), the vowel harmony is also the same. In an evolved version of the language I use reduplication as vowel length marker, and "r" prefix for the perfective aspect. But that... all simillarities. Your grammar is awesome btw, keep it up.
Why did you make it that = /t͡ʃ/ and = /d͡ʒ/ and not the other way around! It's exactly the opposite in Turkish orthography, which makes it totally counterintuitive, considering there's some Turkish/Turkic influence in this conlang
Interesting. Since your conlang differenciates between long and short vowels, you can make poems based on this. You can control the rhythm of the verses with them as in Latin and Greek poetry.
Oh just saw your video where you try to sing in Dyrgidyk, and now I understand why it sounds like it does, it's clearly based on the Turkic language family. Although I'd say it resembles the Ugric language family more in Grammar.
That's rellay good ! It's giving me turkish and uralic vibes! The language examples you gave seemed read by someone else but you said it was a personal conlang. Did you use a synthetizer or something ?
Omg it's the English With A Toki Pona Accent guy! Cool stuff Getting some nice Central Asia vibes from this, definitely includes both Turkic morphology and vocab, but the incorporation and evidentiality are inspired by Siberian languages I believe? Unless you just happen to know of those features from an indigenous lang and like them, in which case awesome bc natam langs and their relatives don't get enough love. Edit: By Siberian I mean like, Yupik and relatives (Sirenik never dies!), sorry if that was unclear
Is the practice of hurrying through a conlang showcase a good development in UA-cam conlanging? Is it an influence from jan Misali, or maybe just directly an attempt to keep people's attention? While a longer video might be more daunting to start watching, one that took its time more might be easier to follow and better at getting the info across. Eventually I just stopped pausing and reading. Language is good though. :)
Definitely some influence from jan Misali, and attempt to keep people’s attention. I think it’s basically a generational thing, cause younger people’s attention spans have been ruined by TikTok and the like
Eine sehr schöne Kunstsprache, sie gefällt mir sehr! Werden Sie zukünftig vielleicht schriftliche Unterrichte bei einer Webseite für Dyrgidyk bzw. eine Karte dessen Herkunftsgebiets veröffentlichen? Sowas wäre höchstens interessant. Grüße aus Deutschland.
For a few corrections, you seem to be mistaken on terminology. An 'optative mood' doesn't indicate what 'should' be, it indicates something that is desired (similar to a jussive mood if you've heard of that). Also, in languages with evidentiality, the 'hearsay' marker normally indicates that information is dubious rather than 'apparently'. It would be more akin to 'supposedly'. Using these, the sentence should translate to something like 'I hear that it was wanted to be held by leather chords'.
Never thought I'd hear "mf'er" be used as a particle 😂 I haven't studied an inch of Turkish, but this does brings Turkish/Turkic vibes, as someone else mentioned. All in all, it's a really neat language - or as the Ína people say, ".ėcta kiténotwe"
(TL; DR - I think so) Very good question. I can't speak the language fluently, but that's likely because I haven't practiced enough, not because it's impossible to become fluent. If I were fluent and spoke to my children in dyrgidyk, I think they'd be able to acquire it like any other language, since the grammar isn't vastly different from natural languages, as is the case with Lojban for example. Raising your kids to speak your conlang is the ultimate (possibly unethical) way of developing it. Babies learn languages in a very different way to adults. They miss hear and mispronounce things. The errors they make are part of what makes languages evolve. I guess I could write a new grammar of the acquired dialect of Dyrgidyk spoken by my children.
First of all, love your aesthetic! Looks great and sounds awesome! But secondly, why wouldn't you use a more intuitive romanisation syatem?😅 I didn't notice any h's, so using "kh" "gh" "ch" etc. would be both easier to type and look nicer...
I used to use those digraphs but I wanted it to be more compact and have one character per phoneme (apart from long vowels lol). not a massive fan of tbh, but i went with that instead of to be consistent with . Still might update the romanisation in the future
Just fyi Mood doesnt usually refer to the mood of the speaker, but rather whether or not it is factual or hypothetical, etc. Edit: Oh, you mispoke earlier in the video
Hello can you pretty please teach me Dırgidık I pearsonally think that it is very beautiful (definetly influenced by turkic and mongolic languadges) I also suggest the [ɑ] to be written with the ä instead by the a thanks pleas respond to me and bye!
Thanks! Even I can't speak Dyrgidyk fluently yet. This video is probably the best resource, but i'm usually on our discord server ( discord.gg/BdXEZDZP8G ) if you want to know anything which this video doesn't cover. I just also added my main spreadsheet with the dictionary and everything to the video description. I've been writing [a] as cause the umlaut is normally placed on an to front it. I think I'm gonna change this tho, cause [a] is like the most common sound in the language and it looks a bit cluttered when you have words like
@@Oziji thank you very much, and sorry for some misspellings i do not speak English as my native tounge it is the Slavic languadge of SLOVENIAN. I woud absoluteley love if you did a overviev of the languadge (i know i am asking for a lot you can say no, it is just a suggestion) i also suggest you make even more videos about it. Also you can make a background of the languadge. (also i think that you shoud keep using the ä for the [a] sound it gives the languadge a unique astetic when romanized. And an idea further develop the culture for example that sample at the start coud be turned into a prayer for the peapole. and my opinion on the script honestly to me it doesnt look good and it is not terrible altho i wod change it. Thanks for repling, hope you respond and bye.also LP wich in slovenian means lep pozdrav [lep pozdɾau] it is pronounced and it means (literally) good=dober pozdrav=salute (good salute)
The sample at the start actually is meant to be a prayer. I have a few videos about the culture Dyrgidyk exists in which you can find here: ua-cam.com/play/PLT4BmfriVgdHDZPLIf4AfERfT8pshapCW.html&si=TwL5RoN5A6-S-i8X I changed the script recently cause I wasn't super keen on it either. the Short in that playlist has the newer script. I really like how looks, plus it's consistent with the ipa [j], so i'm gonna stick with it. Big respect to Slovenian for writing [j] as hehe
@@Oziji Consistent diacritic usage: /e̞ ə a ɑ t̠͡ʃ d̠͡ʒ ʃ ʒ/ Use of the Latin letter space: /x ɣ ŋ/ | /x ɣ ŋ/ Economical representation of long vowels (unless they’re actually hiatus and do need two symbols to represent two segments): /iː/
so, the first line of the sample at 0:00 would be "se̹na̹jā̦rna̹ a̹ra̹ja̹, ū̦shā ka̹z̹la̹k a̹j jina̹laqhā̦ zīqgeq" ? Definitely more concise, I respect it.
Hey, everyone! I made a discord if you wanna come hang out with us: discord.gg/BdXEZDZP8G

Can't wait until the day when jan Misali makes a Conlang Critic episode of Dyrgidyk...
And I must say the name Dyrgidyk is fun to say.
*Dırgidık
I think this is the best conlang showcase that I’ve seen so far! Very clear presentation, very good pacing if you ask me, and also quite funny at times. Loved it❤❤
Omg thanks so much!
The best part is that they let native speaker read the examples. More conlangers should do that in their showcases.
@@artembaguinski9946 glad you liked that touch - I wasn't sure about it
A bit too fast for me :-)
As a finn, i see how this can be absolute hell for indoeuropeans. Arabic turkish hungarian finnish. Sounds natural, the best I can say.
this is insanely well made. you make it not look nightmarishly complex to grasp and understand and organize!
Amazing video, I loved the bit about GTA Online BMX tricks
lotta turkic influences, like it! as a speaker of one, my ears pleased by the sound of your conlang good luck with this one!
My friend, 0:28 was so, so powerful. Lovely showcase!
This seems to be inspired by Turkish or another Turkic language, I can see the words such as kızıl (crimson) and demir (iron) have the same exact meaning.
The language is agglutinative and the letters selected to present the sounds are exactly the same in Turkish except c and ç being swapped, I really like it!
I also noticed jama (yemek, to eat) at 4:10 and kara (black) at 8:46.
Yay! This language's showcase tape has tocome! 🙌😁
Also, I laughed when I realised that the affixual cluster “-rumur” happened to sound a lot like “rumour” and “rumor”! 😅
and the word for big /tʃoŋ/ sounds like chungus
Very well made conlang showcase video! Dyrgidyk is cool language!
This language has a very similar morphology to one of my conlangs that I've been creating on and off for like 20 years, even the "bracket" morphemes.
Great minds think alike ;)
Yo, this one is a little bit simillar to a conlang of mine called Akhamese. The vowels are 1:1 (besides the usage of "ı". I have "ë" instead), the vowel harmony is also the same.

Your grammar is awesome btw, keep it up.
really cool conlang and video, your conlang sounds heavily inspired by Turkish
Sounds like a mix between Turkish Hungarian and Finnish... mostly due to all the agglutination and the Cases...
This is sick! The amount of diaeresis hurts me eyes, but still looks super cool. Great work
Why did you make it that = /t͡ʃ/ and = /d͡ʒ/ and not the other way around! It's exactly the opposite in Turkish orthography, which makes it totally counterintuitive, considering there's some Turkish/Turkic influence in this conlang
i was unaware of that specific thing when i made the romanisation used in this video, should prob change it
I was going to say the same thing

The complexity of this conlang makes "toki pona" infant mewlings .

you have keen nostrils
@@Oziji well thank you
Everytime you say a long word in Dyrgidyk, it reminds me of the nightmares that Hungarian gave me😅
Here's a copy-paste version of the proper name as you're replacing ı with y:
Dırgidık
This is what I sound like when I bite into something that’s really hot.
As a Swede, the example in the intro gives me Finnish vibes
so would you able to teach this language to your newborn children and they will grow up to be fluent in this
(TL; DR - I think so)
Very good question. I can't speak the language fluently, but that's likely because I haven't practiced enough, not because it's impossible to become fluent.

I guess I could write a new grammar of the acquired dialect of Dyrgidyk spoken by my children.
This is the type of language giant wise wizard elves of the elder forest would speak

nope, it's just my voice pitched down

toki ni li ike. toki ni li kalama sama toki Mosijo.
The latinization is similar to turkish with a bit of finnish imo.
Just fyi Mood doesnt usually refer to the mood of the speaker, but rather whether or not it is factual or hypothetical, etc.
Edit: Oh, you mispoke earlier in the video
dw, I know what mood means, although your definition is a lot better than the one I gave.
the orthography looks like Turkish and Finnish made out passionately
actually no the language itself does too, love it though
huh I like it!
Sounds pretty related to mine, lol. (Hungarian.)
