have any Tumblr linguists seen this yet?
It was genuinely a very interesting and informative video when I saw it.
Really visualizes and makes audibly clear how, no matter how loose and thin the connections are
We're all greatly connected through the great web of time
Really makes you consider what could've been is English stayed more close to it's Germanic roots, or what the East Germanic languages would sound like today if they were given the best chance at surviving and evolving
Seriously, if you're an English Speaker, German, Dutch, or some Scandinavian ethnicity, check this video out. It's well worth the time
my conlang kinda started off as a joke of “how long can i make words and how many consonants can i shove in there together,” and i’m doing really good so far because my word for “word” is “tanam’amdžle” and it comes from “tana`” meaning letter, “a’mdžle” meaning collection, and “m” meaning and, a word that also doubles as a way to connect two words into a compound word, making my word for “word” literally mean letter collection.
in case you’re wondering, in my conlang, “džl” makes the j sound. i just wanted to be evil for a second
