Creating Robert Heinlein's Speedtalk (CCC3 Entry)

[@getoutofZEWEI]

This is absolutely brilliant!! I was a big fan of Mpiua Tioustouea last year, very glad to see you back! ❤

[@pmnt_]

This has to be one of the top #CCC3 submissions. it's easily the best I've watched so far. It's well structured, took serious effort, fits the theme. No fishing for cheap laughs like "lol there is a grammatical gender for the loss in faith in humanity after watching several bad conlang videos in a row". Everything is there for a reason, to reach a design goal, even if the goals might not apply for us mere mortals. The cursedness comes from the fact that everything makes perfect sense. Bravo.

@@pmnt_ the "bad conlangs" aren't bad their just trying to fit the optional theme of "uncanny/painfull"

[@thezipcreator]

so this is basically just aUI on crack 17:50 this is literally just what every "verbless language" does. just make verbs but call them something else

[@LoganKearsley]

Most of them, but not all. There is no universally accepted standard definition for "verb", but for any reasonable definition, there are some conlangs that exclude them.

[@TrabberShir]

20 minutes in I am having to pause and walk away to let my brain re-solidify. Well done. Cursed conlang indeed.

[@paulbennett772]

As a SciFi fan & linguist this is right up my street!

[@playmotion.trailer]

Well I could (barely) envision learning Mpiua Tioustouea if I was a time traveler but speed talk, you have to be superhuman (with super earing and super good pronunciation) so excuse me if I pass... 😥 But I still loved the video, don't worry ! It's not speed talk the problem, it's YOU ! you dig a lot of rabbit holes in thios video and I probably will get lost underground for 1 or 2 days, envisionning the wonders of Reed-Salomon algorythm and general semantics, so maybe ... thank you !

[@paulbennett772]

Utterly brilliant! If I weren't already a subscriber I'd subscribe!

[@MURDERPILLOW.]

Same here

[@nulliisnotreal]

i love the attention to detail all in all a great submission

[@EvilCoffeeInc]

Congrats! I've never wanted to read an author less after this. I'm impressed at the... Language? You've deciphered from this short story, but at what cost?

[@sjgh.r]

will be coming back to see the rest of the series!

[@LucasBucur]

31:40 "yeah yeah ok i understand"

[@ML-qe7ml]

The treatment of time and space using the same grammatical machinery is also found in Loglan (and Lojban).

[@paconoack8548]

Same hat!! (The hat is fleshing out previously unrealized Sci-fi conlangs)

[@endlesswar7480]

Brilliant!

[@I_Love_Learning]

Do you have a doc or something for this? This is insane and I love it. Also, you better make a basic dictionary, this is too cool to not be more developed.

[@FloatingChameleon]

Aren't Reed Solomon codes just modular arithmetic + polynomials? I think it's simpler than Hamming codes. Great conlanging tho, you deserve the Top 3!

[@ScienceMeetsFiction]

If it's a prime base, it's modular arithmetic. If it's a prime power base, it involves finite field theory, and it took me a long time to even figure out what I was looking at there.

[@FloatingChameleon]

@@ScienceMeetsFiction Oh, ok then

[@janmusi]

ok but now we need the dictionary

[@Salamander876]

Really cool!

[@hamiltonianpathondodecahed5236]

Um at 29:47, shouldn't 4² be equal to 16 instead of 8 ?

[@ScienceMeetsFiction]

Yes, it should be 16. Luckily, it doesn't affect anything else. I wrote a program to calculate everything because that's the only way I could keep it straight.

[@zeev]

hilarious, it's called chinese. and now there's over 1.3 billion!!! close enough , art imitates life imittates art.
