you can tell a lot of effort was put in for example with the notes and page markings. Great camera work, page manipulation, aesthetics, and story telling.

Thank you so much! It's really nice to hear that the work is appreciated :)

[@jamesclapp6832]

Just discovered your videos. I often wake in the middle of the night with anxiety. Your videos are so calming and interesting enough to take my mind off my ruminations. I soon fall back to sleep. You've been a big help. Thank you.🙂

[@MelangeASMR]

I hear you, those middle-of-the-night mental hamster wheels are the worst. Very glad to hear that my videos help you with falling back asleep, I'm so glad I can be of help 💖💖 I'm wishing you many restful nights!

[@dominikamikulova1361]

I found this video very randomly, but I'm glad I did. Love the quality and also your voice is very soothing! Great work, it really deserves more views.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

[@mathewmc2578]

She's soooooo underrated

[@Flanclanman]

For me, this is perfect asmr. Your soft voice and accent accompanied by delicate sounds and really interesting subject matter. Listening to this is the most relaxing experience I've ever had. Perfect not only for sleep, but also for relaxation and for when I have a headache and silence is too loud.

[@MelangeASMR]

Aaaah thank you so much, I don't even know what to say!

[@noautoaidan]

This is honestly one of the top 10 most relaxing asmr videos ive seen

[@MelangeASMR]

🙀 Thank you!!

[@kimckenzie6161]

I searched pointing stick asmr and found this delightful lil video. I also really respect the effort and respect you give these languages, I am from Canada and have indigenous connections including my significant other, and I appreciate the attention and care you put into all of your research. You are a scholar and a gentlewoman, and you certainly have helped me relax during quite a rather turbulent sickness I had caught a couple of days prior writing this comment. Thank you. Edit: if you want more resources on North American linguistics, I have a number of comprehensive research documents and books on the subject. Can email them your way if you'd ever like to cover them. There was a great many peoples of all sorts of lifestyles, towns, cities, nomadic groups and other cultures that dwelled and still dwell, and sharing language is a great way to keep that alive and cherished.

[@MelangeASMR]

Hi Ki, thank you for your comment and your offer - I would absolutely love that! When I was doing the videos on Northern explorations by Vikings etc, I was hoping to dig a little into indigenous history, too, but couldn't fit it into the time frame, so it's something that's been on my mind and I'd love to explore the topic in a separate video. My email address is viennesemelange at gmail.com. Again, thank you!! And I hope you're already on your way to feeling better. Get well soon!

[@friibird]

Commenting for the algorithm, want it to know I *especially* enjoyed this video. I do think this format is lovely and elevated, I do think this channel will find greater audience soon (the algorithm just takes a while to catch up). (p.s., as an adult raised by academics, librarians and teachers, this appeals to me on a deep, primal formative memory type of gentle way. Thank you for that.)

[@stevenbercik2099]

I love finding channels with creators that share interests I have-maps, languages, books!

[@MelangeASMR]

Hi Steven, thanks for the message, I appreciate it :)

[@george.5145]

This is so careful and well thought out, and it really deserves more attention. It's so slow and gentle, with lovely details and the added bonus of your amazing voice!

[@MelangeASMR]

Hi George, thank you so much! This was one of the first videos of mine that got a bit of traction, so I'm super happy that people are still discovering it!

I am Amazigi ♓ from North African🇲🇦 people, so glad I talked about Tiffenag letters, thank you very much with my respect for you ♥️

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey, thank you so much! It was really interesting to read about this alphabet - I didn't know it had such a long history. Very impressive! (And beautiful to look at on top!)

[@ahlalouchzakaria9935]

@@MelangeASMR I hope one day you visit the great North African country, especially at the Amazigh, there are many historical monuments of the Kingdom of Amazigh, Nomedia.♓

[@beth12svist]

I was just thinking "I wonder if it covers that" as I was starting the video and it said don't know if it really covers everything and how it has a certain bias. I don't really know much about the script and culture to begin with (being just a bit north of Melange in South Moravia, Czechia) but I was reading about it on Wikipedia fairly recently. Then I saw your other comment in the script and thought "Whoa". My first time seeing it "in the wild", that's a fun experience. :-)

Hey Hilary, that is so lovely to hear, thank you!! I'm very pleased that I can help you relax and I hope you have a great, restful sleep every night 🧡🧡

[@kwippo]

It's interesting that you trace right to left letters from left to right automatically. As always, enriching and relaxing.

[@MelangeASMR]

Ah I wish my intuition was that greaet, but I did have to check beforehand. Thank you so much!

[@kwippo]

@@MelangeASMR Oh, don't worry about that, it was actually interesting to see your intuition. Love love love your enriching and relaxing videos.

[@asmryousittingcomfortably3348]

Hey this is a really excellent video! Super underappreciated. I'll be sure to you mention your stuff on my (very small) channel, it's so well thought out and full of tingles. Great work!!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much for your kind words, that means a lot!!

[@ilija_Duniczew]

Amazing video, and very calming too :) Can i ask from where can i buy the book? :3

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey, thank you! :) I don't know how useful that info is to you, but I've seen a lot of second hand versions of the Faulmann Alphabet book on German ebay and willhaben.at (which is the Austrian equivalent).

[@ilija_Duniczew]

@@MelangeASMR thank you! Don't worry, it is always useful :)

[@richardfordham931]

I don't think the emphasis on European scripts is a prejudice but rather a reflection that Indo-European languages have the most examples of writing systems, compared to some other families.

[@MelangeASMR]

There's definitely a deliberate focus on the Latin scripts - which is a fair choice to make, of course. don't think it reflects the actual variety in writing systems, though, especially in terms of historic developments.

[@beth12svist]

@@MelangeASMR And even with the focus on Latin script and European languages, the choice is rather random and probably reflective of the time and the author's nationality. Like why is there Latvian, Czech and Slovak but not Lithuanian or Polish? (As far as I can see.) I'm assuming it's because the author was Austrian so Czech and Slovak were part of the Empire and Latvia had uncomplicated German ties while the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was politically explosive? Maybe. :-)

[@ATestamentToNothing]

The videos you make are of such high quality and your voice is sublime! Vielen lieben Dank 🙏🏼 How can one support you if one wanted to?!

Es ist mir eine Freude! Thank you so much, Tyler, comments like yours really are a little dopamin shot haha! If you'd like to support me beyond watching and commenting, I also have an account on Buy me a Coffee (link is in my profile). 💛

[@jealyn6353]

Wonderful video! I'd like to say though that the Nordic Runes that you traced are Younger Futhark, they only had 16 characters. Elder Futhark had 24. (There was also Futhorc which was Anglo-Frisian and had 28).

[@Vajlet]

Great video

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Ludvig, I appreciate your comments :)

[@parryyotter]

Hebrew speaker 👋🏽 and yeah, we often leave out vowels (they’re dots and lines that go above or below or sometimes inside or next to certain letters), unless it’s formal writing, or if they’re very important because a mispronunciation could change the word and meaning entirely. And hearing you say the Phoenician alphabet tripped me out because Hebrew letters are pronounced nearly the exact same way 😂 Aleph א, Bet ב, Gimmel ג, Dalet ד, Hay ה… We also still say some prayers in Aramaic, written with the Hebrew alphabet. This is why I love language. Because as a kid I was like this alphabet is nothing like English! But now I can clearly see the connection.

[@MelangeASMR]

Same, I was blown away the first time I learned that the alphabets are related and come from Egyptian, never ever would have expected that. 😅 And that's really interesting about writing Hebrew! It reminds me of the Farsi class I took a long time ago where we also marked some of the vowels with dots (but those are only for beginners, and then you just have to remember).

[@miklamx]

I admit to rewinding a few times when you mention the alphabet for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That was interesting reading related to Brigham Young who in the 1800s developed it as a shorthand method known as the Deseret Alphabet. it came about because there were so many immigrants coming into Utah that spoke different languages, it was meant to make it easier to understand and communicate.

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh, I always assumed it was just part of the religious inspiration 😅 Interesting!
