    Did you know that if the universe is infinite, at least somewhere in one area in infinite space, the Star Wars timeline is a reality...

      The Chiptuner nope, thats not how infinity works

      capfogful yes it is, infinite universe means infinite possibilities.

    • @capfogful
      @capfogful 6 років тому +7

      Knightguard1 No, the infinite universes theory, if you are talking about the real one, sais that with everything that has a potential to change, will change in an alternate dimension. Saying that infinity includes everything is not true. Infinity could include every possible version of our world within the boundaries of the laws of nature. It is still infity with endless options, but in none of those you could go faster than light, or have gravity on your ship.

    Aurebesh recently made an appearance in Star Wars Rebels. It appears several times throughout the town in the first part where we are introduced to all the main characters, most noticeably on the wall with the picture of the TIE fighters which is an advertisement to become a pilot.

    That is funny, some of the symbols that are used are related to other languages around the world like...
    dorn is ㅋ (kiyeot) in Korean.
    Esk VT (kind of)
    Herf is 三 (sam) in Chinese pinyin meaning the number 3 WHICH is also the number 3 in korean Sino 삼.
    Isk, 1111111.
    Mern is like ㄷ(digeot) in Korean.
    Resh 7777.
    Trill ↓↓↓↓↓.
    Vev Y.
    Wesk is like ㅁ(mieum) in Korean. (Notice that someone is studying Korean here yet? Hm? XD)
    Sesh △.
    Enth is like the Russian letter Э(yeh/eh).
    Onith looked kind of like 스 (seu) in Korean.
    Nen is like 刀 (Dāo) in Chinese.
    Thesh could be like 巨l (Jù (Chinese) with an English lowercase L at the side)
    Keep in mind I'm just thinking of how they made those symbols or how they could look like lol.

    You could say the reason the text on the screen in Return of the Jedi is random is because that is the code clearance Han Solo is transmitting. Like any code, it's just a long string of letters.

  • @servantofaeie1569
    @servantofaeie1569 3 роки тому

    For me, someone who's already familiar with many real life scripts...
    S reminds me of the syllable "sa" in several Indian scripts (स સ 𑀲).
    R and K look like the Hebrew ר and כ which make those sounds and are related to R and K in the Roman script. Not only is the shape of ר close to R in Aurebesh, but its NAME "Resh" is identical.
    B loosely resembles ⴱ in Tifinagh, a North African script.
    M looks like ⵎ, again from Tifinagh.
    P sorta looks like the Avestan 𐬞.
    Roman Y and V share a historic link (both from the same Greek letter ypsilon/vpsilon/upsilon).
    L does look like a reversed Roman L, but is closer to Middle Eastern and Turkic Ls (𐢑 ل 𐰞).
    A is a little like Phoenician 𐤀, the ancestor to our modern Roman A.
    D and R are similar in some Middle Eastern scripts as well (Phoenician 𐤃 𐤓, Parthian 𐭃 𐭓, Palmyrene 𐡣 𐡴, Nabataean 𐢅 𐢛, Arabic د ر, Hebrew ד ר, Hatran 𐣣 𐣣, Aramaic 𐡃 𐡓, Manichaean 𐫅 𐫡).

    • @StarGeek

      Yes, I do have a font! I don't exactly remember where I got it from though... I just look around on Safari (any browser works), find a site, then check to make sure that is, A) Legal. B) Safe. and C) High Quality. That's how I found the one I used in the video. Good Luck! (And thanks for the feedback :D). And yes, Thrawn is amazing!!!

    How do you read this? If you read each letter by it's sound you're just spelling the word. Aren't they combined sounds and whatnot like in English? Because if they weren't we would be reading it all instead of bread like b-r-e-a-d, I think that's too a little flaw in the Aurebesh

    • @StarGeek

    • @finncullen
      @finncullen 11 місяців тому

      There are eight more Aurebesh letters than in the English alphabet, representing sounds like sh and ch etc. I take your point though, it's pretty lazy as conlang design goes, just transposing English and Aurebesh rather than devising something new. If you pause at 4:03 you can see them all, plus punctuation.

      @ capfogful
      "why do they call x wing and y wings the way they do?"
      The sad truth was it predated aruebesh.
      Just as TIE-fighter predated "Twin Ion Engine". They were called Tie-fighters because they looked like "bow ties" like you would wear around your neck.
      When I was eight years old, it seemed perfectly reasonable. As I got older, I realized how retarded that was.

  • @SparkySywer
    @SparkySywer 8 років тому +18

    Hello, I am a linguistics nerd. I'm pretty sure that explains that I know a bit about linguistics. And I have to say, Aurebesh is a terrible alphabet. It's just English, with its symbols swapped for other symbols, and expanded a bit. It shouldn't be called an alphabet, at best it's a cypher, at worst it's an illiterate infant trying to write.
    But at least it's not as bad as the Huttese "Language" is.

    • @StarGeek
      @StarGeek  8 років тому +8

      SparkySywer That may be true, but what makes that a bad alphabet? That's just like saying our alphabet is a bad one. It was only intended to be a fun way to write in Star Wars "basic".
      But I do agree, Huttese, Ewokese and Bocce have practically no structure.

    • @SparkySywer
      @SparkySywer 8 років тому +3

      StarGeek It's not bad, actually. I shouldn't have called them that. What they are are the Latin Alphabet, and shouldn't be considered another alphabet.
