Again, sorry about the audio. I went over it again after I made the black-screen message, so it's better than it was, but still not great. I know what happened, so it hopefully won't happen again. Thanks for bearing with it! :)
This video was originally meant to release in November. Then it got pushed back to March, then it took me an extra month to write, edit and debug. But it's here now! Sorry for no uploads in that time - I was sure I could do it quickly... I couldn't. Exciting things on the horizon, starting with episode 1 of the conlang series in hopefully about a month's time! :)
Cool video, it was worth the wait! Thank you!
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed, thank you for your support. It took a while and some good determination, but I'm happy it paid off! :)
Could you make a video about the various sign languages of the world and their features? I'd love to learn about how diverse they can get from each other but I'm too limited by not being fluent in any sign language (altho i know a wee lil of ASL, LGP and LSE), the lack of info online i can find, and the fact i often get contradictory info about it
That is a brilliant idea! Sign languages are so interesting and I agree that it's hard to find information. I'll certainly add that to my ideas list, although it may take a little while to get to, as I have the next few months fairly planned out. I'll definitely try to get onto it at some point, though! :D
@@LexisLangI shall wait for the fated day!
very cool 🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it! :D
I just realised that your profile picture on youtube is actually Lambda from greek!
Yep! Lambda for Lexis! Really keeping up that linguistic theme! ;D
Have you heard of the Hmong-Mien language family?
I have, yes. Why do you ask? Do you have interesting facts to share or do you want a video? :D
@@LexisLang Just wondering if you could make a video about it, either the family itself overall or one of the languages like Hmong for example. It is a major language family in East and Southeast Asia, but it is much smaller in comparison to other much-known language families. I don't see it being mentioned much at all, but I would like to see more about it. I like your style of presenting information, so I hope you can make one in the future.
Its 17576 bro, not 26.
Ah, took me a little while to get this. I had to get my calculator out! :D
Kind of nitpicking, but i never really liked how you or many people refer to branches of families as families in their own rights. I know its technically not that big of a deal, but for me it's like hearing that altsic is real
As I explained in my response to your comment on the 2024 Langs video, they *are* families in their own right. A language family is a group of related languages descended from a common ancestor. It doesn't matter if there's another ancestor beyond that - they're still a family. We just use "branch" to refer to one group of languages as splitting off from another. If one day we find an ancestor to PIE, Indo-European doesn't just stop being a family, it's just not the full picture. Hope I've explained that okay! :D
@@LexisLang still, it kinda sounds weird to me . Maybe I overstated with altaic, I couldn't find anything good to compare it
Yeah, I get it. It's probably that you learned it that way. It's always difficult when the way you learned contrasts with the standard way of doing things. I was mostly self-taught in linguistics until uni and it's still hard for a couple of things where I have my own way of doing stuff but the academic standard is different. :)
@@LexisLang im self-learned totally, I'm just a fourteen years old who has not much to do with free time and has decided that will become obsessed with languages linguistics and conlanging for the next milion years
@@cupcakkeisaslayqueen It's a very good thing to develop an interest in! I hope your learning goes well for you! If ever there's anything I can do to help, please do let me know, but I hope you enjoy what I put out until then! :D
Sorry but German definitely has more speakers than Telugu
By total speakers, yes it does, but the table specifies native speakers only and Telugu has around 7 million more natives than German - it's just that German is more common as a second language. :)
