Agma Schwa's CURSED CONLANG CIRCUS 2 (Part 1 of 3)

2023 comes to a close with about 26 HOURS of the most disturbing linguistic creations ever crafted by sentient beings. Welcome to the 2023 Cursed Conlang Circus! In order to satisfy KZbin's video length requirements, this needed to be split into not just two, but THREE separate parts, each one longer than last year's entire Circus. So sit back and enjoy, or suffer.

Remember: It’s only gibberish until you give it rules; then it’s a conlang.

[@fractal_fantasymc2197]

7:31:51 The best part about Hyperslavic is that as a speaker of a slavic language, I've understood 90% of the bee movie script translation

[@Art-ey7xj]

Also as a native speaker of a Slavic language (and having familiarity with a few others) Hyperslavic is just a combination of the quirks of existing Slavic languages, old orthography and archaic features like dual number. It actually felt almost like a normal language to me, only marginally more difficult than Serbo-Croatian or Russian. It was super cool to see of course

[@biglegs]

I told my doctor that I made a submission for this a few months ago. Every time I've visited since then they've been asking about results.

⚠️ WARNING ‼️ around 2:03:00 is very loud be careful!! there’s a warning screen before that says it’s illegal to speak, it’s the Kumquat Language by Clear Ad 2176, if you have stereo headphones it will only be on the left

[@itryen7632]

I had my headphones on, and that part short-circuited my brain

There is also a (slightly less worse) loud sound at 4:52:14

Wow, I sure love listening to the Cursed Conlang Circus theme on Spotify, Apple Music, and other Music platforms, along with on some channel called "The Velar Nasal"... oh wait...

[@ulkeean9685]

WAIT YOU HAVE. APLAYLIST ON APPLE MUSIC HOW AM I JUST FINDING THIS OUT OMGOSH. thank you very much for information. I have found this particular thread of letters forming words forming sentences forming a cohesive thought to be overwhelmingly and completely overjoyous and fill me the indescribable feeling of ecstasy thank you very much sir for this information

[@Moonlight-tf5ts]

What I’ve learned about the cursed conlang circus is that the best way to do well is to find a bit and commit to it

[@zackbuildit88]

Yeah but can you commit hard enough

[@wyntyrr]

Massive shout out to Agma Schwa for recording *26 hours* of footage 👏 Can’t wait for next year

[@oerel]

Thanks for the utmost cursed birthday present, ŋə-father

[@floot2sussy]

1:12:20 yes, thanks, as a Russian native, it was just like an American pretending to speak Russian fluently while knowing not a single thing about Russian. ❤

[@garliccmonster]

nguh is so cool i wish arizona was real

[@japona9899]

As the creator of Leverite (49:56). I am so excited to have been involved in all of this. The experience alone of watching someone else (who actually understands lingistics and created bueatiful conlangs I can only dream of) find the same simple, comedic joy in my stupid jokes and deliberate mess of a language really filled my heart. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. And all these other great submissions!!!!! I hope everyone the very best of luck!

[@cadextheclock24]

im so proud of my comedic genius (creator of this thing here) (that's actually the name of the language btw, "this thing")

[@Yvelluap]

your cloŋ is the best (and worst at the same time) thing i have ever seen. putting a voiced diacritic on a glottal stop should carry legal penalties

I'm so honored to have my shitty shitty OwO language reviewed! And sadly no, it wasn't recorded on the road trip; it was done in my parent's basement after we got back from the trip, without the use of a proper microphone (as you can tell)

[@somer573]

If you want to escape the basement please have minecraft chicken in your next video.

[@cinnamoncat8950]

i can gaurantee that if i had seen either the length of this video or the view counter before clicking this video then i wouldnt have clicked, but now that i have, im here for the long haul

[@whitequartz5289]

I have been hyped for this for months. Thank you for the early Christmas present.

[@0Aquamelon]

I thought that the gurgle lang sounded strangely aesthetic. Agma's reaction to Gurgle was my reaction to Santaa, so now he knows how I feel 😈

[@mirrortarget5729]

I am the creator of the aptly-named "Annoying Language". I apologize that the quality of my video was so low and that the link didn't work properly. And yes, my conlang does take place in the Pokemon universe. I just wanted to give it a bit more "zest". I am so grateful for this opportunity, and I have enjoyed this event. It is truly astounding how many entries were gone through, and I commend Agma and AEternal (sorry I don't have that key on my keyboard) as well as my fellow contributors for the massive amount of effort in creating this experience. Jolly good show!

[@ubiquituum]

haii, i really liked your conlang, mainly because i didn't understand what was going on half way through, but also your translation was incredible lol :3

[@IanWagner94]

1:20:00 I must say as someone who spent the last year away from the conlang comunity, I was genuily wandering why so many rock languages and what's up with all the bee movie's references LMAO!

[@drdflwr]

i love how the narration of 9:20:44 turned into a discussion on Irish language, the true cursed conlang

[@artifactU]

my favourate language was a submision to the first circus so hopefully this one has some good stuff to (norþhymbrisc btw if it was expanded farther then the tiny referance grammer & small vocab i would totaly learn it i luv it so much its so awesome)

[@alessandrobenzi5330]

As a geology student, it's amazing to see so many lovely and funny ways to combine rocks and conlanging

[@conlangery]

Hmm... curious. It just so happens I just finished editing your interview. Gotta do some final checks, though. I *might* not beat you to premiere.... We will see...

[@AgmaSchwa]

Hahaha, that's great. The race against time has begun

3:26:20 oh my god it's been like years since i last cried from laughter

[@najawin8348]

Pokelang was pretty interesting, I'm not sure I caught _everything,_ but I could make out some of the major thoughts in the translation. There's real potential there.

[@Bread_Lock]

3:31:36 I'd argue that the "tones" from ỹ̀ are more like variable rounding qualities, since those types of frequencies (besides tongue position) are formed by how rounded your lips are... Also the orthography being "nya" is very funny.

[@Denneth_D.]

Lord of the Langs: Fellowship of the Lang.

[@sahaiariaka4544]

I'm thinking of making a conlang based on dying in different ways to say sentences

[@ThatScarfiGuy]

The Christmas gift we all needed

[@najawin8348]

FYI, you can, SOMETIMES, upload videos longer than what yt supposedly allows, but it's semi-random as to whether or not it actually works.

[@AgmaSchwa]

I tried, hahaha. A couple submissions had copyrighted music that I couldn't mute without messing up their whole presentations, so for the integrity of their videos I just split it into 3. Except for one Nintendo song that I had to mute or else I'd have to face their wrath, lol

[@crispitysmuggity]

looking forward to a very certain “^w^”

[@ThisHandleIsDefinatelyTaken]

Holy shit. Shouldn't have stumbled into this conlang pothole.

[@zackbuildit88]

Pothole you say?! Conlgangl idea forming!!!

[@substandardnerd]

For the next Circus, you could have people translate the entirety of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, for maximum strangeness

[@sosorri5660]

It was pretty good to participate, seeing people laughing at my video it’s pretty good, a real thanksgiving present! ❤️

[@永蔚]

I like how there's a language that's proving Chomsky right by mandatory recursion and a language that's aggressively proving Chomsky wrong by absolutely having no recursion.

[@Ryann9]

Cursed conlang circus 3 is going to be at least 100 parts long, with each video at least 10 hours long at this rate.

[@Shareenear]

You know it's gonna be fun when you see a disclaimer like that 💀 Edit: As a native Russian speaker, Nightmare Russian sounds pretty cool. Like an average Northeast Caucasian language, such as Tabasaran or Aghul, but cooler. I wouldn't call it a cursed language, it's not even as crazy as Tsez or Avar, but it's sure an aesthetic one. Also, "Hyperslavic" is just normal Slavic stuff, only a little bit more complicated than your average Slavic language.

[@goldenspeeed]

lets goooo its coming

[@krejczingerarpad]

Next time there should be a tournament style, multi-round conlang circus with multiple judges. This much cursed content is too much for a single man to handle.

I know I'm a month late, but it was great being a part of this! Your guesses were great and now I know I need to do a Franken-Greek at some point.

Italian has eu, though mostly in words coming from Greek. Also, as per usual for Italian non-rising diphthong's, there's relatively free variation between diphthong, vowel+glide, and straight up hiatus
