When I saw IPA in my French textbook I was so happy. Then of course we were taught pronunciation without the book for the first 3 classes and never again.
This is nerdy and kind of informative at the same time lmao. I find it funny that you throw [θ] and [ŋ] right into conlang and then I just realized I have them in my conlang too and it's just, "damn, you're right" moment.
If I ever get to teach a language class at a school, I think I would go through the phonetic inventory of the language first thing first before starting on all the grammar and phrases jargon.
as a baguettechad, I never understood how English was supposed to be spoken when I was at school. Because they don't teach you about the simplest shit like how you're supposed to pronounce /ɹ/ (a sound that is utterly alien to French, because their R is uvular instead), or that the t, s, d etc are not dental (unlike in French where they totally are, which is also why they have trouble with θ and ð) Going thoroughly through the phonemic inventory and teaching the IPA seems a bit overkill, but at least making sure the students can pronounce the damn sounds seems like a given. But it sadly isn't.
I never knew I wanted this. Thank you Also Xynder... I haven't heard that name in a while! I really hope you bring back your conlang covers at some point, be it Xynder or otherwise
I like how third of the sounds are written as flipped normal letters, another third is letters with some additional lines, and other third is just alien symbols
This is such a different video and as someone who very much wants to do linguistics and all that stuff im loving this. also this gives a fun insight into your personality.
I have no idea what any of the stuff in this video is but I still very much enjoyed it.(I even learned a lot!) I saw Avlonskt and I clicked haha . I laughed a lot and it was fun to try and mimic the pronunciations 😂👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for the amusing video!
As a fellow phonetics enthusiast I just found your channel and I love it! Keep it up!!! However you put the alveolar lateral tap in "no thank you"? what? Its such a beautiful phoneme. You know its the Japanese らりるれろ right?
haven't watched the video yet, but it's probably because the symbol is ass at conveying what it is and that most people just use /ɾ/ or plain /l/ for that sound instead
Hi Avlönskt, I realise I might be about 3 years too late, but I have a question for you. I have been a hobby "linguist" for about a year now, and by that I mean I have learned the IPA chart to an extent. I am considering doing a linguistics degree in my homeland (England) - would you recommend it? Also, side note: which font did you use in the video? It's giving Calibri and I love it!
Una lista como ésta y además hecha por alguien que habla muchos idiomas es una información muy valiosa para seleccionar sonidos para un idioma construido, y que suene muy bonito. Gracias 🙌
I don't think I ever pronounce the uvular trill in German, it's way too high effort for me. Keep in mind I'm also a very sloppy speaker who frequently turns b and g into β and γ though, lol. I've had a soft spot for the uvular implosive ever since I first learned how to make it, don't hate. :( All implosives are precious.
Honestly I think I’d do the same in rapid speech now that I think about it, but in enunciation I almost always trill I think 🤔 And in retrospect the uvular implosive deserved better it sounds funky :((
TWO VIDEOS BACK TO BACK EYE- another early morning shift saved, even tho I'll have to watch it later😔 UND HILFE DEINE STIMME KLINGT SO S Ü ẞ B I T T E MACH MEHR TALKING VIDEOS HSHWHWKWLS (i always forget that you speak german but today your Tsugai Kogarashi cover (will edit this bc i cannot remember the correct name lol) beautifully reminded me of that). Кроме того, ты один из моих лыбиммых певец and watashi wa anata no koe daisuki. (alright now enough with the non-existent language skills, i will leave you beautiful multi-lingual bastard alone hshwhwjwk)
The danish guy saying shit made me laugh so hard I 1) had a fucking icepick headache and 2) still kept laughing Also, anyone cute: says hi to me Me: 6:27
Your natural voice sounds nice! I want to hear more covers from you with less pitch correction… the pitch correction really makes your voice sound more robotic :(
Nigdy nie sądziłam że będe słuchać rankingu (tu wstaw poprawną nazwe tego co rankujesz ja jestem zbyt zmęczona żeby teraz myśleć xd) o 23 ale oto co robię zamiast spać w sobotnią noc. Niczego nie żałuje XD
Я напишу на русском. У меня есть друзья с интернета и мы колангеры(conlangers). Очень полезное видео для нас. Я его разошлю. Думаю, что им понравится. (Я не знаю уровень твоего русского, так что пытаюсь писать так, чтоб понял😅)(Sorry)
You put the swedish fake phoneme that both isnt a phoneme as its 2 sounds and doesnt actually show up in the listed realization in most swedish dialects in godtier :( lmao
The dialectal variation I do understand (but that’s a whole thing in and of itself that I wasn’t going to go into for this), but how isn’t it a phoneme? What are these “two sounds”? Just curious, as I haven’t seen any evidence against the phoneme itself and I’d be intrigued to know (as a phone though, yeah, it’s a pseudo-phone). And of course its existence in this list is likely superficial, as is my ultimate judgement on it based on a single dialect, but the sound I had in my head when seeing that symbol is godtier!
@@avlonskt Yeah the sound is pretty cool, but it's really x and sh(dont want to get out the ipa keyboard combined) so it's as much a phoneme as coarticulated gb. While they are kinda one sound they are also kinda 2 that's why I said it was pseudo. The thing I find weirdest about it is if you believe wikipedia, not only is it rare to find the standard realization in swedish, literally no known dialect of swedish uses coarticulated sh x.
@@matthew1863 That doesn’t detract from its phonemicness though? Because a phoneme is an abstract category, and what you’re referring to is still phonetic, and not phonological? Besides co-articulation is also still a single phone? And yeah I recognise the reality of that sound (it was just too complex for this video, so I just took Sj™)
@@avlonskt I demand you include every realization of the phoneme as its own entry and rate each one seperately./s I mean a phoneme is described essentially as a distinct unit of sound which feels like os has a lot of wiggle room in it. Because it's a coarticulation I dont know if its really a distinct unit or if it's just combining 2 seperate distinct units its really up to interpretation.
@@matthew1863 Ranking: the realisations of sj! I’m just confused about your use of the word phoneme, because phonemes can’t combine? The point of a phoneme is that it’s a distinct phonological unit which can distinguish words, and has nothing to do with its phonetic realisation. Its phonetic realisation may indeed be a combination of sounds (and its variation means that its phonetic value is definitely up to interpretation), but unless it can be shown that the sound, whatever its realisation, is not lexically contrastive then its status as a phoneme remains unchanged. So I’d say what you’ve described makes it a pseudo-phone, but doesn’t actually address the phoneme itself? But I’m just being picky about terminology now - I just thought there would be something about its actual phonological status like a few minimal pair examples which call the unit into question, which would’ve been cool
This is such a weirdly specific video, it appeals directly to an incredibly niche audience. I love everything about this except for ⟨ɧ⟩ being a godphone
For some reason i didn't get bored at this(not even exaggerating) even know i only know the fact that the IPA exists, it's use and importance (I can't even hear the difference between some of them, but that's just me being a non-linguist lol)
