A Brief Description of Eastern Mountain - Entry for CCC3

[@paulamarina04]

2:26 well that consonant chart with the axis flipped is the single most cursed thing i have seen in any submission across all 3 cccs

[@soton2498]

No comment about the vowel chart?

[@melodiousapollo7307]

To those who've called it cursed, most often I see it shown in regards to just the general broad strokes and definitely disagree there. It's just a very non-European language, seemingly doing the opposite of what most IE languages do, which most conlangers are exposed to before any other languages as it's a very English and IE language dominated hobby at this current moment. There are definitely aspects that are cool and stretch the sense of "wait could this happen", but in the same way natural languages do that.

Very well made video and very well made conlang. I'm very intrigued and would like to see more on this eventually.

[@CuriosityCore101]

This is really good! A really solid entry to the CCC, but also it feels like something that could possibly exist irl.

[@soton2498]

its only here to be disqualified for not being cursed.

Y'all better appreciate my pronunciation skills there at the end-/j Jokes aside this is so cool to see Mountain being showcased! I remember seeing it in its early days years ago, and to think then that I would be watching and participating in a showcase of it 4 years later would've been so surreal. Congrats, Soton!

[@soton2498]

Thank you for the audio again.

Maker of Sinostisese here (actually my primary account): This indeed is a cool language. :') Never knew about applicatives before this video. Really cool, 'specially to the degree you've applied them here. Work of art. :)

[@soton2498]

mountain's applicatives behave differently then most languages with applicates. But theyre very useful feature to have.

Hungarian: our language is the most difficult language to learn Mountain: **laughs in Soton**

[@soton2498]

Dont worry it gets worst. This was just a brief overview

[@deepsolar169]

I am one of the individuals calling it cursed. A "dative" applicative is indeed cursed.

[@soton2498]

@@deepsolar169 I'm my defense

[@isaac2499]

Damn i wish i could even get to the point of making a family, i tend to make a single daughter lang line out of a proto, cos i can't handle thinking for more than one project at a time

[@soton2498]

I dont have an end goal most of the time, part of what I do is just having abunch of phonetic changes and grammatical changes and appling them in different orders and choosing which I perfer

[@soton4010]

Its insane that mountain has developed into such a strange and beautiful language. Great work Soton, I cant wait to see more of this or your other languages

[@soton2498]

Thanks a ton!
