Ooh, what about a Dutch-Japanese conlang, based on the Japanese only trading with the Dutch for a long while

[@StockhausenScores]

Agma Schwa kinda did it...

[@table5584]

Phonology: AEIOU KSTNHMYRWVG(Dutch g fricative) Diphthong (1 only): ee = ä The articles for every noun are totally mixed up and depend on what kind of cereal you ate for breakfast. If you ate whole wheat cereal, you use “de”. If you are sugary cereal, you use “gä”. If you ate no cereal for breakfast, and instead ate a good $5 Taco Bell wrap, you use “het”. Finally, if you ate nothing for breakfast, you don’t use any article. Also, like half of the nouns have totally irregular articles you will have to memorize individually.

[@NotUselessProductions]

@@StockhausenScoreswhen?

[@williamkeitaro8910]

Did it also use the Japanese writing system? Imagine words like "Goedemorgen" and "Vogelverschrikker" written in Kana and Kanji

[@danieltrevino8855]

​@@StockhausenScores interesting seeing you here

[@라랄라-t9s]

As a Korean I was so surprised that the result actually turned out pretty good. Although it's a bit funny seeing words scrambled here and there in SVO order, it really sounded gorgeous. Great job!

[@Aronora]

감사합니다

[@La_republica]

It seems that some additional characters are replacable with older characters or similar alternatives ex)ㅍ+some symbol (old korean: ㆄ) for F, ㅂ+some symbol (old korean: ㅸ) for V the /ç/ and /x/ could be seperated with h by using ㆆ which is a softer version of ㅎ from the old korean system

[@La_republica]

also, a problem with the triagle symbol for the v's and f's is that ㅿ is recognized in korea as sounding out z or something softer. I of course know that this is imagined to be a seperate language only loosly related to the original korean writing system, but it seemed reasonable to point this out

[@conepictures]

Considering that Korea did have printing at that time, that might make more sense in universe than inventing new characters.

[@CrabTastingMan]

@@conepictures Yeah one thing a lot of people overlook is that the modern Korean letters are a small portion of the full Korean alphabet created in the 15th century to be some sort of 15th century IPA, and was definitely used for tutorials on learning other languages. Like other languages the spoken language does not make full and equal use of all available letters, after all.

[@Pokephosgene]

This is pretty funny. as someone who can understand both German and Korean, I liked the concept, although matching hangeul to the spoken words wasn't easy.

[@ConciseCabbage]

In western languages, we tend to have some prepositions before the word and some prepositions (case markers) after the word. I like Japanese / Korean grammar partially because they consistently place all prepositions (cases) after the word. As long as the grammar is consistent in this regard, it’s not so difficult!

[@Aronora]

I am right now trying to learn some Korean and at least the grammar seems to be pretty regular-ish for a natural language. Do you speak Japanese or Korean?

[@ConciseCabbage]

@@Aronora I don’t speak either, but I learned some Manmino which was a great introduction to both!

[@라랄라-t9s]

The possible advantage of having those subject / object markers would be that although you randomly mix up the words and can still convey your message

[@sirati9770]

just a small thing that itched me: a preposition after a word is called a postposition. like pre meaning before and post meaning after ;)

[@sketch4363]

1:45 I love the little scuttle away its so silly Whole vid and conlang was great btw

[@user-culkepta]

As a Korean this is so epic!

[@olived9560]

ooo this is so interesting! I love how much thought you put into inventing it (it sounds so cool) and the effort put into the video as well, ie the rlly interesting history of it all etc!

[@curlyfri2553]

this is very entertaining mixing two languages together

[@omatic_opulis9876]

cool, can you combine german and japanese next time?

[@ThePawsketeer]

As a Korean who likes German culture and always wanted to travel to Germany, I approve of this

[@cringebased-kq3dr]

Wow this video was professional-quality this deserves way more views

[@WedsleyFelix]

Very interesting and fun 😂 I'll try to do german and indonesian.

[@EchoLog]

Why my algorithm ignoring things it knows i like

[@sirati9770]

i do think that while the writing system has an great influence on the development of pronunciation, i think it is very unlikely that this kind of syllabification of clusters would occur, its simply a two big jump at once. i would rather assume that this would somehow be bridged by very awful noval batchim rules that regularize but somewhat survive that originally made it near possible to spell german in hangul

[@assfen]

Interesting video. I like your channel content. Obviously I'm subscribed. Hope you share more content about Globasa.

[@Aronora]

Glooooobasaaaa, any ideas? My Globasa is pretty... beginnerish though

[@assfen]

@@Aronora That's it! I remember you made a video talking about that, but in a general way. Probably you may start sharing your knowledge about it by topics. I mean, e. g. how to keep a short conversation or its basics. Or probably about some verbs and how does the present tense o sth. works. Thanks for your time and your content.

[@mcwurscht]

It's a bit redundant to add a topic marker since the verb already functions as a topic marker in germanic languages due to the verb-second-rule.

[@Aronora]

I’d argue many natural languages have redundant pieces of grammar

[@DwellOnForever]

Why add different characters for /ç/ and /x/; aren't they allophones? Wouldn't they probably merge in a pidgin and creole?

[@Aronora]

So, 히 and 흐 are actually not really new characters, it‘s basically „hi“ and „heu“ romanized. So if you think about it, it‘s all could just be the sound /h/ but instead of saying 밯 (bah) for Bach (German for „stream“) you‘d say 바흐 (baheu). But yeah, let‘s think of it as them all merging into /h/

[@njlschpprkjrsvk]

THis was very cool

[@wlwgwlwgnomesarereal]

german italian and japanese next

[@xriex97]

I have my own Russo-Korean conlang called Hvataian. Hvatai from the Korean reading of 樺太 (Karafuto) which is Hwatae and it is indeed the island of Sakhalin at present. Most of Pronunciation is Russian tongue but vocab is mix of Korean and Russian. Grammar is following Korean. Written in latin script with Slavic influences. Example from The Lord's Prayer: Nebezje iznin vije Oče Očeje irimiz za svjatačkame Očeje naraz za ovačkame Očeje volijiz nebezejeso i zemlijeso irvožihačka jo Iden našeke denezi hlebir žučka Vija našeke žarmote saramin ostavlački kak vije žarmotin ostavlahačko Našeke juhoge nje vyvodičke zlajeso guhačka da. Amen.

Doreanisch (Deutsch-Koreanisch) Toghangugeo 닥한국어 (Togil + Hangugeo) Tbh why not Helgolandeo 헬고란ㄷ어 (imagine the nd in one block)

[@MayseSantana]

​@Aronora I almost passed out with the ㄴㄷ as double batchim and I'm not even Korean, even tho the rest of the video really amused me

[@FebruaryHas30Days]

Now can you try making Vietnamese a Germanic or Romance language?

[@DMTHOTH]

as native korean : what the fuck did I just watched? lmao nonetheless, it was fun.

wait, isn't Altaic language family a pseudo science?

The problem with this is that during the proposed creolelysation period, the language spoken on Helgoland wasn‘t German, but a North Frisian dialect😅

[@Aronora]

A feature not a bug: The Koreogerman language is a Low German language and the song Friesenjunge was actually performed on Helogoland in Koreogerman

[@mandaring8825]

i think it might be necessary to point out that the altaic language family is largely dismissed by linguists, interesting concept tho!

[@Aronora]

That‘s why we said „debatably“ xD I think the concept is interesting but I just think it‘s too abstract

[@mandaring8825]
