No way, I can't believe that someone took the time out of their day to translate something into this language! I estimate that the noun you were describing is the video itself based on the counters saying that the noun is opaque black and white, 2D and non-physical There are some errors in the text, but that doesn't even matter, I can't believe that you actually translated something

@@ParallelOlelogram ​ I'd love to know what I got wrong! I know for one I assumed this youtube video is Lego Bionicle set number 8947 Radiak released in 2008 containing 16 pieces, as I am pretty sure it is not a rock. I've been trying to translate something to the effect of "Nice video!" into the cursed conlang circus submissions I come across, it hasn't always been successful. I settled here for "This video [verb]s!" as I couldn't think of a way to express "good". I thought maybe something intangible but orangish yellow, with 7 spatial and 7 temporal dimensions, but wasn't sure that would come across very well (and I'd be bending the rules by going above 2 temporal dimensions). Does your reply here mean i/my youtube profile picture is good? if so, 1: thank you very much! and 2: That means "ФЯF-ФЯ" _can_ be used to mean good, which I considered for a while before landing on the regular verb, and now I wish I'd kept it. Overall this was a really fun language to translate things in and out of, the most fun I've had so far actually! Although the orthography was definitely annoying at times (which is good overall, cause, cursed).

[@ParallelOlelogram]

​@@JuniperHatesTwitterlikeHandles Yes, you mistook the video for Radiak, skipping that counter would have worked. Another error was using 255 instead of 100 for max opacity on the opacity counters, since those are based on percentage. The other error was saying 2 time dimensions, since the video and everything that we know of only has one time dimension (moving forward or backward in time). Two time dimensions would be the equivalent of moving sideways in time which we aren't able to comprehend. The error was mistaking direction for dimension, since every dimension has two main directions (example: height is a dimension, and its two main directions are up and down) I meant the closest thing that I could get to saying "thank you" was saying that you are good. I chose to describe your profile picture since that's the only reference I have of you. But it is a nice profile picture too! And I wasn't originally intending to have ФЯF-ФЯ also mean good, but decided why not, it would be easier And by the way, I probably should have mentioned this in the video, but going over two time dimensions wouldn't break the rules. Counters for amounts of colours and dimensions can go as high as you want. Oh, I completely agree with the orthography. I made the thing and even I hate writing it Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed my language!

It's not hex-based, quaternion-directional, and the number system also isn't based on transcendent constants like e and \pi. It doesn't have BCH representation of negative numbers and BCH Float representation of all numbers.

[@ParallelOlelogram]

I was thinking of using a different base, but ultimately decided to preserve my mental health

[@kiboma4209]

What’s the bad thing about using base 10?

[@theMuBot]

​​@@kiboma4209 Base 10 (decimal) is not inherently bad, but: - color values are based on a 24-bit RBG colorspace, but that method of defining colors is based on computers being binary and divides into pieces more evenly if written in hexadecimal (base 16) or another power of 2. - color opacity is defined by percentage in base 10, so the relationship between a color values and opacity values is kind of arbitrary. The less-cursed option would have been to either define color by percentage, or define opacity based on hexadecimal 100 (which is decimal 256), so all the values would be on the same scale.

[@theMuBot]

Additional thought: a red/green/blue colorspace is kind of arbitrary and human-centric, so there's no good way to describe objects that are colors beyond human perception and understanding, which seems like it would be a problem for speakers of this language in particular.

[@ParallelOlelogram]

[@mbg8733]

To fix the problem of nouns having the same number you could just raise the primes to each counter. 2^255 * 3^255 * 5^0 * 7^255 and so on This will provide a different number for each noun with different properties, and the listener would only have to do a prime factorization on the fly while listening to understand.

[@sinom]

In general this would be solvable with any orthogonal basis

[@falkland_pinguin]

Isn't the whole point of the sum that the nouns will get shorter and more practical after their first introduction? In that case, have fun reading out all those decimal places. 7^255 alone has over 200 of them, and that is just one of your factors. (You could make the numbers more manageable by removing the already unused precision of the RGB system and using a scale from 0 to 1, of course.) As much as this makes it more cursed, it would probably render pronouncing the full spoken sample infeasible, thus turning the language into a theoretical construct rather than an eligible submission for the CCC.

Like... no bee has a single spot of the colour 255, 255, 0. Guess that just makes it even more cursed, then.

[@mbg8733]

Just to be pedantic, there are two consonants, not one, as they are not allophones. This is evidenced by the numbers 1, and 2, only being distinguished by palatalization. And it is the consonant that is palatalized.

[@ParallelOlelogram]

What do you mean? The only consonant phoneme is still /f/ The palatalization /ʲ/ comes after the consonant

[@mbg8733]

@@ParallelOlelogram Palatalization isn't a sound on its own, but a change to a sound. Many English speakers may mispronounce it as a /j/ but in that case /j/ would just be phonemic as it causes a change in meaning.

[@ParallelOlelogram]

​@@mbg8733 What about palatal consonants like /ʎ/ or /ɲ/? They sound different from /lʲ/ and /nʲ/ My first language, Bulgarian, has plenty of occurrences of /ʲ/ after many consonants, and to me the consonants sound the same as normal and the /ʲ/ sounds like a separate sound that is slightly different from a full on /j/ That's just how I hear it. I'm no expert on phonetics so I could be wrong

[@mbg8733]

@@ParallelOlelogram I think the reason they sound different is because they are slightly different sounds. And the reason a palatalized consonant sounds like multiple sounds is because you're pronouncing it wrong; it should be *one* consonant pronounced with a part of the tongue pushed to the hard palate. If it was two sounds, then /ʲ/ would be consonant, and therefore you would still have two consonants.

[@ParallelOlelogram]

​@@mbg8733I don't know, I've always heard it as separate when hearing or speaking Bulgarian. It always sounds like some kind of transition between the consonant and the vowel Now that you've mentioned it, I do feel my tongue touching the palate when saying some palatalized consonants, but not for all of them. For some consonants, I can't bring my tongue up there at the same time as the consonant itself, yet I can still add some palatalization that definitely sounds different from the plain /j/

I said that it is conveyed by the atomic number, so hydrogen would be 1, helium 2, etc And you're right, I should have specified it more. I would say that it is based on number of atoms.
