And that's it for this run of the Language Files! Thanks to co-authors Gretchen McCulloch and Molly Ruhl, and animator Stephen Houston-Moore. And to answer the question that'll get asked ten times in response to this, these videos and comments get scheduled weeks in advance so I don't have to worry about actually being online when they launch.

Of all the things you make videos about, linguistics are by far my top favourite. They have really made my ears more sensitive to things in speech I never knew existed, and have made me realise that what I thought was unique to certain languages probably exists in other languages, but just really less emphasized and less central to them.

@Jim Panse I know you were probably joking, but in case not I thought I’d point out that most singers who use those kinds of growls are usually relying on the “False Glottis” also called the “False Vocal Chords,” which are two soft fleshy folds in the vocal tract which don’t vibrate on their own, but can be brought closer together by constricting the muscles in your neck, which when combined with forcing air out of your lungs, produces a sound usually at least an octave lower than can be produced with your normal vocal chords. Alternatively, violently forcing air through your throat while constricting your normal vocal chords can also achieve that “gravelly” sound, but will damage them if done repeatedly.

I tried to do the 'velar trill' and here's what I did (spoiler: when I tried it, I failed): 1. Bring your tongue to the back of your mouth. Also, keep the tongue on the top of your mouth, like rolling your r's. 2. Open your mouth wide to give your tongue space. 3. exhale, but don't let the air go around the side Verdict: I was able to make the tongue vibrate, but it moved forward slightly meaning it was more of a palatal trill instead!

A lot of them are actually used. But they do not contrast with other phonemes, there are simply allophonic. They have no dedicated symbol. For example, labiodental plosives are [p̪ b̪], bilabial flap is [ⱱ̟], uvular lateral approximant is [ʟ̠] and so on. The chart doesn't feature the labialized voiced alveolar fricative trill [r̝ʷ] which is a phoneme in czech and even contrasts with /r/, /ʒ/ and/rʒ/. If Tom were to pronounce for instance the voiceless retroflex lateral fricative /ɭ̊˔/ (which is a sound that doesn't exist in any language according to this video), you probably wouldn't hear the difference between the alveolar one (/ɬ/) and the retoflex one. And you would be disappointed saying "But both of them sounded the same." Now you can see that the title is a little misleading.

the reason why that glottal stop occurs in “hawai’i” is because the hawaiian language actually uses the glottal stop as a letter, called the ‘okina. the closest a modern keyboard can get to writing an ‘okina is using an apostrophe, which is what i’m doing here, but in reality, the ‘okina is a separate character and it is included as a letter in the hawaiian alphabet. it’s also present in words like a’a (a type of lava) and pa’u (a traditional skirt). The ‘okina can’t just be left out of words either, because, and using pa’u as an example, “pau” just means “done”, not “skirt.” It affects pronunciation and meaning, and it’s really just a fascinating part of hawaiian language.

For anyone interested, those are called Conlangs :) "(Artificially) CON(structed) LANG(uages)". David Peterson (creator of the conlang Dothraki from Game of Thrones) and Artifexian have GREAT videos in creating conlangs, for anyone interested in playing with your linguistic knowledge, and creating a language similar to a real world one.

Fun fact: My wife’s grandparents worked as Bible translators in Brazil and discovered two phonemes which has never been used before in the indigenous language they were working with.

I heard that someone translating the bible into a language used by a Pacific islander group had trouble translating the word "mountain" as the native population had never seen any.
