I got an ad where "Turn down for what" with a person wearing pixelated glasses and "Thug life" appeared besides them. How out of touch do you have to be to use MLG memes in 2019?
Hmmm. Now that NativLang's back, I guess you could collab with him too? This was pretty fun to watch. (NGL, I prefer your linguist stuff to your planets-and-whatnot content, simply because I find it easier to follow. The moment math appears, my brain goes 'nope'.) Also, question. English dialects sometimes come up with features that the standard lacks, like the distinction between 2nd person singular and plural (which to me always seemed to be a confusing thing) - "y'all" is a pretty functional and logical "plural you" substitute, although not quite standard. Similarly, AAVE "reinvented" a habitual aspect ("he be running"). I was wondering - do these variations ever become standardized, and if yes, what makes such standardization possible? Just a popularity trend? (Non-Southern queer communities are kinda co-opting "y'all" these days because it's more inclusive than the traditional "ladies and gentlemen" type constructs, for example.) Also, does this happen in OA and if yes, how?
it gets standardised, if it gets popular enough, if the non standard speaking community suddenly decides to invade and overthrow the government, or you know, if the non standard variant evolves enough to be recognised as a dialect but actually a different language there are many different ways this standardisation may happen
Keep in mind: natural languages sometimes break or bend their own rules for modals. Modern English modals became fossilised and their past forms became independent modals. Oa's modals based on stative verbs could indeed take the habitual endings because it gains its status as "stative" or "dynamic" based on the main verb it modifies. Also, even if this isn't the case, languages such as Basque have conjugated elements that change base on transitivity and polypersonal marking. So there could be two future modals, one for stative verbs and one for dynamic verbs. One more real-world example: Bulgarian has a Slavic aspectual system, and this can change the meaning or a nuance of meaning in a verb. An imperfective verb has past (two of them), present, and cliticised future; a perfective verb has only past (two of them) and (uncliticised) future. If a perfective verb needs to indicate the present tense, it then forms a secondary imperfective set that pairs **only** with the perfective and not with the primary imperfective. Oa could very well include such distinctions to allow for full paradigms for the main verb without leaving gaps in dynamic verbs when they're negated, modalised, or set in future time.
This is very interesting. I was thinking about how language develops though entomology. As the word astronomy is made from the Proto-Indo-European *h₂stḗr (“star”) and νόμος (nómos, “arranging, regulating”) I'd like to see this done with Oa for world building.

The present default is actually the opposite in persian. Let's take the work "khordan", meaning "to eat". The perfective past is "khordam", and the perfective present is "meekhoram" The addition ends up being on present, with the D dropped and mee- added. Also, "meekhoram" can mean I will eat.
I have an alphabet... but once we got into grammar I am completely unable 2 keep up. Every single thing that gets said goes in one ear and out the other, I am completely lost and I have no idea wats going on or being said
In the German language, there are two words for "would", "could", namely "würde" and "wurde"; and "könnte" and "konnte". The ones with the ¨ above them are used for conditionals. "I could do it, if …", "I would do it, if …". The ones without the ¨ are used for the past. "When we were younger, we would often be driven to the cinema." If "would" really is the past tense of the word "will" that would mean that "wurde" is the past tense of "wird" but "würde" is the subjunctive, instead, which, in English, both seem to be the same thing, right?
German actually does have one colloquial aspect marker that delineates present perfective and present imperfective: "Ich lese." = "I read." "Ich bin am lesen." = "I am reading." You can still use the former to talk about something perfective, but if you really want to drive home that something is happening _right now_ you could use the latter (in informal settings anyway).
Even simpler: spanish can but usually doesnt differentiate between "used to run (corria)" and "was running (corria)", context tells instead, ie. "i was running then/but/until I tripped over" "i used to run when i was a child". If you want simplicity, I wouldn't say that its "much more important".
Why do English people always say "to be allowed" or "to be able", instead of "to can"? "I can do something" is allowed but "I will can do something" has to be replaced with "I will be able/allowed to do something"!
It has never been correct English to say "I will can do something". This is because the verb "can" carries within its meaning the verb "to be". For example, "I can do something" means "I am able to do something". Notice how the verb "can" is replaced by the clause "am able to", which includes the word "am" (i.e. the first person singular form of the verb "to be"). To say "I will can do something" would mean "I will am able to do something". As it is not correct to say "will am", it is also incorrect to say "will can".

One remark i have on your Oa videos: why use the IPA for the glottal stop, but romanize the velar nasal consonant as "ng"? It feels inconsistent Also, it's weird to use Grebo as an example of an auxiliary for negation when English literally uses "don't" whenever another auxiliary isn't used
Interesting how in Tunisian Arabic, we use the past continuous auxilaury "ken(3rd sig)" and the simple future auxilary "bech" to mark the irresultive conditional. So the sentence "I was going to run, but ..." is "Kunt bech njry, ...". Word word by word: - *Kunt* : the 1st sig past continuous auxilaury (from the infintive "ken"). - *Bech* : the simple future auxilaury (its infinitive form won't change with any other different prounoun, it's always in the infinitive form) - *Njry* : The simple present verb of the infintive "Yjry" + the 1st sig pronoun → *Kunt bech njry* literally means: Was (being). 1st sig + will + run. present. 1st sig Sidenote: Infinitve form of verb = 3rd singular from of the verb
Remarkably helpful! I'm usually more lost in these deep linguistics than the particle physics that I regularly work through, and conversing through concrete examples really cemented a lot of this in my mind.
Would it make sense to have a language with only non-past and non-future tenses? It could open up a neat distinction with things happening in the present tense. A basic example would be something like "I'm finishing it now". In English, that is non-past tense, but in this language it would be non-future, because it has some relevance to the past. Like, it hints that something in the past caused you to be doing what you are now. Something like "I am going home" would be non-past, because it hints that it is going to have something to do with the future as well (when you're travelling home). I don't really know how that would work with all verbs, because I'm positive that there will be some roadblock I'd only find after trying to translate a block of text, but it would be something interesting to play about with...
"to go" + Past perfective, here, was Implicative, as in "I would have done X." How would you call "I will have done X."? As in, the action will have been in the past from the future perspective. Also, how might that be said in OA? "O taʔi ngoza-k" would be my lazy guess, deliberately violating the rule of auxiliary verb-conjugation.
In my conlang, the present imperfective and future perfective are the same, because saying your doing something and saying you'll be done doing something in the future are basically the same
I wonder how a language might develop for a species based off a songbird with their dual vocalization ability within the syrinx perhaps modifications such as mood and tenses could be encoded in one half of the syrinx and the verbs within the other half? Or would it be better to allow hybrid verbs since they could say two at once?
Dragrath1 and if they have both larynx and syrinx then they could distinguish between voiced, unvoiced, left, right, and voiced song. I might do this for a bird like species.
@Thyepiccat !¡! Yeah part of the issue is it is hard to find good research on individual bird species and their regional dialects typically research is done in a population near whatever university is responsible for performing the studies which gives a very biased sample so you can't easily get a good cross section of the possible sounds to make an avian analog to the International Phonetic Alphabet(IPA) The most I can ind is confirmation that language does vary by region among different populations of the same species and related birds can learn elements of the other species ending up with a mixed repertoire. Also bird songs and normal chatter seem quite distinct in how they are used which is an interesting facet for considering as bird songs are more or less reserved for mating. As a related aside from an evolutionary perspective it does seem birds and thus dinosaurs ancestors developed the syrinx over time with minor likely benign (or perhaps beneficial?) mutations which once the organ became functional quickly replaced the larynx for sound production as that enabled the larynx to better do its primary job of preventing food stuff from getting into the airways i.e. choking making the Larynx subject to an evolutionary trade off. Thus birds are as far as I know the only vertebrates that don't have to really worry about choking the way we do. It is kind of fascinating as birds vocal organ achieves so much more than ours without the drawbacks courtesy of it effectively forming a new organ which is something that is far less common than adapting an existing structure to fulfill a new role at the expense of the old.

German actually does have one colloquial aspect marker that delineates present perfective and present imperfective:

"Ich bin am lesen." = "I am reading."

If you want simplicity, I wouldn't say that its "much more important".
Same in Welsh, our tense system is incredibly simple.
Why do English people always say "to be allowed" or "to be able", instead of "to can"? "I can do something" is allowed but "I will can do something" has to be replaced with "I will be able/allowed to do something"!
It has never been correct English to say "I will can do something". This is because the verb "can" carries within its meaning the verb "to be".

- *Kunt* : the 1st sig past continuous auxilaury (from the infintive "ken").
- *Bech* : the simple future auxilaury (its infinitive form won't change with any other different prounoun, it's always in the infinitive form)
- *Njry* : The simple present verb of the infintive "Yjry" + the 1st sig pronoun
→ *Kunt bech njry* literally means:
Was (being). 1st sig + will + run. present. 1st sig

I wonder how a language might develop for a species based off a songbird with their dual vocalization ability within the syrinx perhaps modifications such as mood and tenses could be encoded in one half of the syrinx and the verbs within the other half? Or would it be better to allow hybrid verbs since they could say two at once?
Dragrath1 and if they have both larynx and syrinx then they could distinguish between voiced, unvoiced, left, right, and voiced song. I might do this for a bird like species.
@Thyepiccat !¡! Yeah part of the issue is it is hard to find good research on individual bird species and their regional dialects typically research is done in a population near whatever university is responsible for performing the studies which gives a very biased sample so you can't easily get a good cross section of the possible sounds to make an avian analog to the International Phonetic Alphabet(IPA) The most I can ind is confirmation that language does vary by region among different populations of the same species and related birds can learn elements of the other species ending up with a mixed repertoire. Also bird songs and normal chatter seem quite distinct in how they are used which is an interesting facet for considering as bird songs are more or less reserved for mating.
As a related aside from an evolutionary perspective it does seem birds and thus dinosaurs ancestors developed the syrinx over time with minor likely benign (or perhaps beneficial?) mutations which once the organ became functional quickly replaced the larynx for sound production as that enabled the larynx to better do its primary job of preventing food stuff from getting into the airways i.e. choking making the Larynx subject to an evolutionary trade off. Thus birds are as far as I know the only vertebrates that don't have to really worry about choking the way we do. It is kind of fascinating as birds vocal organ achieves so much more than ours without the drawbacks courtesy of it effectively forming a new organ which is something that is far less common than adapting an existing structure to fulfill a new role at the expense of the old.
It’s so crazy. While I was waiting for you to get more into the breakdown of conlangs, I was watching Biblaridion’s playlist of How to Make a Language, where he goes into details about Grammatical Evolution and all sorts of cool stuff, then I found this video! Awesome collab!
Noice. Is it just me that is reminded of Lloyd Grossman by Bib'?
I'm watching this while sick lol
Will you please make videos on how to create a punctuation and number system?
Bruh. My native language reduplicates for every reason you can think of: present tense, future tense, emphasis, plural subject, plural object, superlative, and I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s a mood when the subject only pretends to perform or lies about performing the action.
Elijah Mikhail what language is this?
Emeraldstar_14 It’s Tagalog, but most Malayo-Polynesian languages heavily feature reduplication.
Elijah Mikhail nice. Makes sense with the Philippines being near Malaysia
Tnta seems to be a very unstable word at least in linguistical evolution...
