i've been (slowly) working on an octopus conlang for a bit and reaching the mollusk segment was fun. honestly was almost a relief to realize that yes, i have probably stared at octopus buccal mass diagrams for a lot longer than some other random person on the internet making a youtube video about a lot of different animals. was a bit sad about the lack of mention of radula because i think they are cool, and i think there could be some weird interactions when using them in speech, but honestly i don't know what that'd sound like and i put that in my conlang. so.
You left the bounds of things we think of as able to vocalize one third into the video and yet things kept getting more insane. You're haveing way too much fun with this. ...An insect language consisting of percussive consonants and tonal vowels would be a fun Cursed Conlang.
damn, video slaps, and the "PAUSE" near the end killed me. I'd love to hear more about alaryngeal speech, as I've never heard about it before! On a more personal note, you've contributed to inspiring me again to finally pursue a lingüístics further from just little "conlangs" (if they ever reached that far), so yeah, thanks :3
Awesome content man, ive binged most of your stuff after this vid got recommended to me. I definitely agree with others in the comments talking about your audio, putting a bit more care into it would go a long way. Incredible stuff! Excited to see what videos you make in the future :)
A very cool interdisciplinary exploration, you've gotta be pretty smart about both linguistics/phonology and zoology/phylogeny to pull this kind of thing off. Very impressive But for the love of all that is holy, turn the music down or your voice up, I was acoustically assaulted like 5 times in this video
