I wonder, did they have the "v" sound in old Latin?

I‘m working on a Paleolithic Homo sapiens conlang spoken 50,000 years ago by a group of Homo sapiens who went from Ksar Akil Cave in Lebanon across the sea until they settled at Mandrin cave near the Rhône river. I need some proto language to base that language on and I thought either a pre-form of proto-Afroasiatic or a pre-form of proto-Basque. Macro families like Nostratic or Dené-Caucasian might be fringe linguistically but they’d sure be helpful for the phonology and grammar of a conlang. I wonder whether I should dare to go that route though and use nostratic or Dené-Caucasian as a role model. It’s for a story after all, not a documentary.

Fun fact: OSV is also used in English, and it sounds really poetic. For example: In Genesis 1:27, you can find: "...in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

What's something *all* languages have in common?

In English, you can just commas to arrange your sentence in any order. "You, I'm not interested in" is osv.

In the divorce between finnish and hungarian hungarian took all the consonants

German is kind of like an S V O V

First person past tense malay has OSV / OSK (Objek Subjek Kata Kerja)

I'm not at all a linguist, but I noticed something when working a job where communicating something quickly and clearly was critical. Often, the English language is not set up to communicate in the manner that our brains processes information. Our brains want the context first, then the details that fill out that context. Like knowing what book you're referring to before mentioning a chapter and sentence. But the language dictates that you bring up the chapter and sentence then mention the book. I found this to be a problem because the when you give the details first, they get held aside until there is context to give it meaning. That putting aside of the details delays the response time, and it lowers the retention rate, leading to a need to repeat information. If you say the words: run fire kitchen, then when you are saying fire they are wondering why they have to run, and when you say kitchen they are in the middle of wondering where the fire is. It takes a moment for the whole to be absorbed and acted upon. If you say: kitchen fire run, then they are already looking towards the kitchen by the time you say fire, and they already understand the danger when you say run, and they can react immediately on the instructions. I started speaking in single words with gaps between to speed up overall communication by reducing the need to repeat information in time critical situations

I remember this video

Wait until you hear about Romanian 😈.

I hate how modern people are dropping the "ed" from words. "Blessed" has become "blest". In church, Jesus isn't saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit", He's saying, "Blest are the poor in spirit". It hits the ear wrong. Without the "ed", "Learned" has become lernd (or even lurnt). That makes me sad. Bring back the "ed".

so the last few logo or picto system is a troll for the common ppl who don't have time to learn or play w/ lang get the short end of the stick and forever bring generational illiteracy?

Say, what's the point of the childish cartoon-head animations? Is this channel for eight year olds, or is it supposed to be for adults? Some of this is awesome. Some of it is unwatchable.

I took Latin in school and I don't ever recall "old lady" coming up during that time. There was probably a reason.😅

In swedish osv is equivelent to etc.

Why is OSV so rare? This I wonder...

The Bard 'as a brummie- mystery solved.

Me, a dyslexic misread "word" as "world".. 🤨

I talk Cantonese which is normally SVO but we sometimes will emphasize the V or the O by putting it at the front of the sentence to make sentences VOS or OSV Example: 我食咗麵呀 can change to 食咗麵呀我 or 麵呀我食咗

I guess technically you could call Ladino an African Romance language lol

Frankly, that many sentences are unambiguous regardless of word order is besides the point, as long as the same grammar structure can be ambiguous with different words but are disambiguated by word order, word order is important.

Gibberish. It doesn't apply to slavic languages at all. First few minutes I didn't even understand what this video is about.

As a French, I was in Subject, Verb and Object. i ate a cat.

Im a British woman with African heritage. I have not met any Great Grandparents at all but would love to meet surviving Family members before i die. They may not know me but will be surprised to see a Brit woman who looks like them! Wish i could swap weather conditions an all haha!

In Albanian, all word orders work besides those starting with ate. (If started with ate, the sentence would be shifted into an interrogative question - Kishte ngrënë kapibara misrin? or Kishte ngrënë misrin kapibara?) Ate corn capybara would also work as Misrin kapibara kishte ngrënë.

0:41 I like that in my language (Russian) all word orders will work

Kukoricát a kapibara eszi. It is a usual word order in Hungarian. This word order just emphasises the subject of the sentence. And Hungarian is not a slavic language. Nothing special with OSV. It seems this video has no point at all.

"Wow this is so rare!-" Realises OSV (and OVS) is in half of (Bulgarian) poetry Just gotta be careful tho because since we dont have a definite article, rather we add stuff to the end of the word and it can get messy since e.g. Apple is feminine, both its subject and object are the same (yabəlka -> *yabəlkata*) so you can, for example mess up "Apple ate the Man" for "The apple ate the Man" which gets even more confusing because you can actually differentiate it since in MASCULINE if it is the object it ends with *a* if it is the subject it ends with *ɘt* BUT THEN it could also be a mistake since you basically always pronounce it as *a* at the end (maybe you can hear the quiet t) so its only a thing in Written form... No, its not over, because it can get easily confused if you dont add certain pauses. Yeah don't learn bulgarian unless you know what you are doing... Anyway im gonna do what that guy that speaks russian did and make "The man ate the apple" in all variants SVO: Мъжът изяде ябълката (The man ate the apple) SOV: Мъжът ябълката изяде (The man the apple ate) VSO: Изяде мъжът ябълката (Ate the man the apple) - I wanna note, this one i have never actually seen but it still makes sense (and you can still confuse it the way i said up^) VOS: Изяде ябълката мъжът (Ate the apple the man) OVS: Ябълката изяде мъжът (The apple ate the man 💀) OSVː Ябълката мъжът изяде (The apple the man ate)
