kalama nimi pi toki pona
มุมมอง 21K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Inspired by Tom Lehrer's Elements, this song consists of every official word in Toki Pona, plus a few more. ni, nanpa, nasa, nasin, nena, nimi, noka, namako sin, sike, sina, seme, sewi, seli, jaki, sijelo en, esun, suno, supa, suwi, suli, linja, palisa li, pali, lipu, jelo, lape, poki, kule, kalama wan, tawa, waso, wile, walo, lawa, kiwen, akesi tu, wawa, taso, telo, toki, weka, kute, soweli o,...
I would have tokiponized these as: (1) Lakan, (2) Jenki, (3) Nisole, (4) Łanełi (IMO x[K] is not really mappable to either <s> or <l>), (5) Witon, (6) Pen, (7) Pesawan, (8) Sinson, (9) Puku, and (10) Kulentolulen.
Listening to your accent I wouldn't guess that that was your hometown.
If I had a penny for every time this was translated in a language there isn't a lot of music in (Old French and toki pona) I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
@@Eic17H im aware of the_miracle_aligner's translation! shame he doesnt do more of those these days
@@kala_asi He started making them again! He covered All Star in Latin and Freebird in Middle English in the last two months
@@Eic17H ah neat, ill check em out
@@kala_asi Turns out I'd have 3 pennies, as Silly Linguistics made a Middle English cover
I definitely heard Borouen
Love this video so so much!! What a fun time
Even for the average french, the pronounciation of Rouen is weird. It sounds like a very local way of saying it, which is definitively how we should tokiponise words, but the /ɑ̃/ sounds almost closer to a /œ̃/.
As an english speaker who isn't super familiar with toki pona (so forgive me if i don't get the phonology/phonotactics right!), here's what I came up with watching the video - Lakena (heard some sort of schwa-like sound at the end but not sure where it came from) - Kenkusi - Unsole - Lanesi - Wilekin (wanted *Wiletin here) - Pije - Esawan - Sinpon - Luwas (*Luwos) - Kulemtojalem (i got Kulem- and then had to slow down the video for the second half, hahaha) I think a few of these were swayed by audio quality, i couldn't hear the /f/ in isfahan and the /rm/ in perm at all, and i think the speaker for rouen breathed out at the end? Very interesting video concept, it was a joy to watch and play along!
mi jan pi toki Kanse la mi sona ala e tan pi kalama "PO" lon nimi "Rouen". ni li musi a. Nice work, and I hope there will be other experiments in the same vein. Actually I might even submit some town or people names from my region on my own to see how people would tokiponize them based on their sound only (with local accent)
My results: ma Lakawin ([aj] → "awi" not frequent enough) ma Jenjusi (Rank 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2) ma Ensule (Rank 3, 1, 1, 1, 1) ma Sanesili (Rank 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1) ma Wijetun (Rank 1, 3, 1, 6, 1) ma Pelen (Rank 1, 1, 1, 2, 1) ma Esowan (Rank 1 only) ma Kinkon (Initial "k" not frequent enough) ma Powa ([u] → "o" not frequent enough) ma Kelejontopolen (In general, ???)
My L1 is Japanese, by the way!
this is so awesome!! a pity i didn't actually watch this during sptp but i'm so glad youtube recommended it to me now <3 truly entertaining and enlightening, thank u kala asi you have a bright future in content creation honestly
you completely glossed over the "a" turning into "e" in Llanelli
wikipedia transcribes it as [a] but the recording is more [ə]; from there the responses are distributed approximately how youd expect, with a e o being common and i u being rarer

This was really interesting, although I'd have a few caveats about whether this is necessarily the best approach towards adapting loanwords. There is an issue with the fact that the primary language of poll takers could affect their perception of foreign words. For instance, consider how English speakers are far more likely to interpret the true-mid [e̞] in Spanish "tres" [tɾe̞s] as sounding closer to the [ei̯] in English 'trace' [tɹei̯s] (which has nearly the same vowel, although with an -i̯ glide) than to the [ɛ] in English 'tress' [tɹɛs] (which has a different vowel quality). Native Spanish speakers, on the other hand, would claim the opposite, as they don't perceive the [ɛ] in 'tress' as being significantly different from [e̞] but consider that the [ei̯] in 'trace' sounds completely different (closer to the Spanish diphthong [e̞i̯]). It could well be that English speakers taking the poll would judge the front-ness in [ø] to be more relevant than its roundness and adapt it as [e] where speakers of the local language might consider it more relevant to keep the roundness and adapt it as [o]. It would also be worth pondering whether phonetic realization (the actual sounds pronounced by the speakers) should really take priority over the underlying phonemes as perceived by natives. For instance, the first vowel in Russian's Россия [rɐˈsʲijə] is definitely closer to an /a/ than to an /o/, but Russian speakers should be aware that [ɐ] is a realization of unstressed [o] (as shown in alternations such as он [on] and они [ɐˈni]), so it's not so obvious whether Lasija would be a more faithful adaptation than Losija. And, of course, there might be all sorts of practical considerations. I'm thinking of something like how Barcelona is [bər.səˈlo.nə] in the local Catalan variety, which might justify an adaptation like Pasalona, but it's underlying phonetic representation is arguably /bar.seˈlo.na/ (as shown by Eastern Catalan [baɾ.seˈlo.na]), which might point us towards adapting it as Paselona. Then there's the fact that Spanish [baɾ.θeˈlo.na] is basically as prevalent within the city itself as the Catalan version, which should also favor Paselona (which, when combined with the previous argument, make for a strong case imo), but that could also open a nasty can of worms about the usage of local vs national varieties, regional and minority languages and so on. Then, again, there's no real reason why we'd need to pick just _one_ adaptation; multiple versions could easily coexist without causing too much trouble.
@taimunozhan I appreciate the feedback! The point about native speakers could be augmented by splitting the responders into native and non native groups for each of the questions, but with a low sample size (n ~ 100) and low frequency languages (Arakanese, Malayalam, Farsi) it becomes too hard to get representative data. Someone else can try, though! This particular poll was, indeed, built on the premise that shallow phonetic representation matters more than the underlying representation. This is consistent with the example given by Sonja about preferring Towano over Tolonto. (Its possible to argue that Toronto is an example of a nt > n sound change affecting the phonemic structure of a word while the ɔ > ɐ change in Rosija is allophonic, but the distinction is quite superficial.) Whether or not this understanding is preferable is ultimately out of scope for the experiment, and up to the community at large. I agree with the sentiment that multiple names can coexist; in fact, the segmentation method shown in this video allows us to document not only the plurality option but also the distribution of deviations from it. Unfortunately, there are circumstances where the community will likely have to present just one option at a time (or few of them instead of 20+), such as when naming a Wikipesija article or submitting toki pona language name translations to Debian's iso-codes package (something im hoping to tackle some day). For those cases, its useful to explore the mechanisms behind tokiponisation, while ofc always acknowledging that any such name shouldn't be final.
Now do Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
@@wilh3lmmusic i would have included it on the survey if it wasnt already too famous, ruining the part where respondents shouldnt know the spelling
though for the record I would tokiponise it as Sanwapuwinkikokeliwintopusantisilikokoko
Just do ma Sanwawi don't use a name locals can't be arsed to use anyway
@@cmyk8964 for sure but the overwhelming majority of the time this town is mentioned has nothing to do with the locals so im okay disregarding that practice for the joke
My attempt: keeps # of syllables, topiponizes Welsh /ʊ/ as /o/ and Welsh /ɡw/ as /k/ sanwapokinkikokeliwintoposantesilijokokoko (sanwapokinki kokeliwintopo santesilijo kokoko) (Llanfairpwllgwyngyll gogerychwyrndrobwll llantysilio gogogoch)
this is a great video!! i hear the po- and i cannot imagine how you dont, audio is weird indeed
I hear more of a "bo" or "buh" sound
I think I can hear the P in Rouen. It's a pretty loud breathing on the mic noise that makes the word sound like P'ruã.
I can hear more of a B sound, like "Ba-ghu-won"
and I also hear Isfahan as P(b)ess-fahan with that weird half-P sound
So cool ! As a french speaker i'd probably tokiponise Rouen as Luwan or Wawan. To me french 'r' is too unlike /k/ as it can be a uvular trill or an approximant in some context and is still/used to be an alveolar trill in some dialects so the choice to make it into a /k/ is weird to me. I can completely conceed that this is due to orthographical bias though. The /r/ in the clip you chose sound to me like a uvular trill and this probably caused people to hear a cluster like br or something due to the multiple "explosions" there are in a trill.kj
Moli means dead?
Yep
I feel bad for non-slavic people that they can't understand this masterpiece
as a non-slavic person, it still sounds amazing. just wish I could understand it
ni li pona mute tawa mi!
i really like your predictions for how the language may evolve! ik when i speak toki pona out loud with my girlfriend we hardly ever use 100% "proper" grammar and will often mesh words together, similarly to english. so im sure if the language does become widely spoken, many different dialects will emerge, with each dialect forming based on what the speaker's native tongue is. since most toki pona speakers are native to english to my knowledge, im sure most dialects will still be understandable. but the language is most likely going to diverge in actual spoken speech, regardless of what the community thinks of the change. if it doesnt diverge, it means nobody is actually using it irl.
i know this is really late, but lipu Linku is my favourite toki pona dictionary and the main one I use. thanks for the good work :3 lipu nimi pi toki pona la, lipu Linku li pona ale tawa mi. pona :3

i didn't expect to find a toki pona version of one of my favorite songs, guess it will be my primary "learning tool" now
oh god, the dictionary i maintain is in this video, and this video is over 2 years old, that was... that long ago that i made it?! It has been that long?! I'm so glad it's not the sort of dictionary that needs regular updates Anyway, i came here in the hopes of locating a copy of nimi ale epiku, would you happen to know where one is? Although, if its entirety is really contained in lipu linku i guess it doesn't matter.
