Not only a fascinating piece of conlanging work, but the whole sequence of Uba teaching her granddaughter the Tamarian creation myth was genuinely moving and beautiful. Bravo!

Truly, Tamarian was the first cursed conlang. We are just living in its shadow.

I loved this! Your extensions to the base concept were really creative and the amount of effort you've put it on it is staggering! To be honest, this feels like something that could have deserved the Smiley Award (a recognition David J. Peterson used to give to interesting conlangs that 'made him smile', unfortunately he hasn't done it in the last few years). The way the conlang works _is_ absolutely cursed enough for CCC3, but there's a charm to it far surpassing its impracticality.

Please keep doing what you're doing. This is really great stuff! It's a nice treat for those that are into conlanging. I'm currently in the process of making my own conlang, and stuff like this really inspires me

You went above and beyond the call of duty with this Clon, not only making the mad grammar but creating multiple levels of Tamarian mythology to make it work! You really end this on a bombshell though, saying you wrote the entire script in a Tumblr draft! Does MS Word not work? "never write long passage in a website draft function" was drilled into me hard.

Great job with the revised video. And I'll repeat what I said in the original version: this is an incredible feat of conlanging. I'm still amazed that you made me believe that Tamarian could actually exist as a natural language.

The writing system was done in Desmos? That’s such a cool method. Also, AMAZING work making the language from “Darmok” make sense in terms of how it works, how it originated and was learned. I like the contrastive vibrato.

Tamarian youth culture which values personal personal & alternative references as much as mythical references resulting in a group of individuals in the old-european-culture microculture of the earth-culture appreciation subculture who start speaking a primarily Ulysses-based dialect as a joke for about 2 hours after writing that sentence, i no longer perceive culture as the correct spelling of culture

This is an absolutely incredible piece of work and possibly the greatest feat of linguistic construction in the entire Circus. I never imagined I would see a reconstruction of Tamarian that would leave me believing it could actually exist. The only drawback is that it might not be cursed enough because it feels too naturalistic for that.

Forming out complete versions of obscure conlangs from existing IPs is underrated. Also kudos for the writing system aesthetics
