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
this is the thing of all time

@@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).
@@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!
in my language, we don’t say something is “not a rock”, we say it’s “part of Lego Bionicle set number 8947 Radiak released in 2008 containing 16 pieces”, and i think that’s beautiful
indeed! "Lego Bionicle set number 8947 Radiak released in 2008 containing 16 pieces" is such a useful phrase
@@ParallelOlelogramBut how do you tell the difference between two different Lego Bionicle set number 8947 Radiak released in 2008 containing 16 pieces’s?
As someone who is both a conlanger and a software developer, I can't confirm things won't get much more cursed than 'CSS-inspired'.
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.
So all things considered, it's a language that just has exited being "blessed", but light years and ijk-rotations away from "cursed".
no... no. NO... NOO!O!!!!!!!!
or is it?
To speak a number, one must speak the binary representation of an IEEE standard float aloud.
You haven't seen the one with infinite matrices yet
Honestly the most cursed thing about this is that the counting system is base 10
I was thinking of using a different base, but ultimately decided to preserve my mental health
What’s the bad thing about using base 10?
@@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.
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.
@@theMuBotgood point, I didn't consider that

I love how the larger portion of your text read is describing all of the characters you need to include in the sentence. I guess when you're making a language about Interdimensional Horrors, you need to describe them really clearly!

Love the lego set identity marking, random verb, and Last Thursdayism reference! What feels weird, though, is that a language that already incorporates RGB values would describe the primary colour of a bee based on an RGB value that is a particularly extreme example of an English colour word that English speakers use to describe a bee's colour rather than.... a typical RGB value for a bee? Like... no bee has a single spot of the colour 255, 255, 0. Guess that just makes it even more cursed, then.
eh, i just didn't feel like picking exact colours. i was never intending the colour counters to be meant solely for exact colours, general colours are good enough
@@ParallelOlelogram... and yet you put that level of precision in your language, and it's not even optional.
Outstanding work!😂
This is such an amusingly computer science sided take on this I love it
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.
In general this would be solvable with any orthogonal basis
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.
what
@@falkland_pinguin Someone is eventually gonna submit a language where the spoken sample takes hours upon hours and all of it is in the video
@@Nikola_M Well, if the spoken sample takes over 12h, you can no longer upload it to TH-cam as a single video, so I'm pretty sure that's where the cutoff would be for how inefficient a CCC (not the system of measurement!) entry could be.
this is like that meme where we google translate a language to see how many different words sound the same, then play a video where someone seems to be using all those words in a sentence. "fa fa fa fya fa fa fa fa fa fya fya fa..."

The dedication got me FLOORED. This was so cool to watch. Hello from recommended land👏✨👏✨
it’s funny how he makes dimensional rifts in space time just for us to comprehend his language that he made up
😎
i heard you explain it had one consonant and then talk about the numbers and i knew it was over. this is the most cursed language i could never imagine
Oh god.. please put it out of its misery
So what I have learnt from this is
1- coding can be a conlang and inspire this, and that we can use this as a coding language. No joking I would like to see how that would look like and if it would downgrade or improve some coding stuff
2- bees haven't reached the industrial revolution, or so we think they didn't
1 - I'm definitely planning to make it even more like a coding language if I ever make a revamp of the language. Perhaps there could be if/else statements in the grammar, maybe booleans for questions
2 - The Bees have paid me quite handsomely to keep their current technological age a secret
This is truly the conlang of all time
This language is gorgeous and I thank you so much for creating it.
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.
What do you mean?
The only consonant phoneme is still /f/
The palatalization /ʲ/ comes after the consonant
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
@@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/
You say Verbs were inspired by Bulgarian.
But I say Verbs in this language were inspired by Hamlet.
Oh hell yeah. I watched the one about Seraphim and then this one shows up? Perfect.
hey are you secretly a beehive? asking because you speak with a suspiciously heavy emphasis on final voiced sibilants...
Well, my first language can't have voiced consonants at the end of words, so I'm probably overcompensating for that when speaking English

Why make language that everyone can understand, when you can make language that no one can understand?
You could make a new conlang in the time it takes to say one sentence.
Now that is what I call productivity
This isn't what i expected from this video. But it is 100 times better, and I absolutely love how absolutely chaotic it is 10/10
This language is wild 😮 you think you could do a functional version of Newspeak next, or maybe just an actually decent newspeak dictionary? I’ve always wanted to see that, but I have like a potato knowledge at lexicography
Eh, conlanging isn't the main focus of my channel, but I could do more of it in the future eventually
“Idk if I have any regular viewers”
*now you do*
I can see how you can expand on this system by adding a few physical counters, honestly would be efficient if everyone knows each word.
Definitely, I agree. There are some things that I could have done differently, and some things that I could have included
I could make a revision of the language in the future, so I could definitely add more counters which I had forgotten to add

@@thevalarauka101 Yea boi
isnt physical and non-physical basically solid and non-solid
Kind of, though I would refer to liquids as physical
It definitely would have made more sense to instead have it be a state of matter counter. I don't know why I didn't think of that
Honestly you could make the consonant inventory a lot harder. Like, I would have made every consonant a different rhotic, or something almost unusable like an unvoiced bilabial trill.
Why did it feel like I just played the world’s weirdest game of dnd
I think I give too much of my life to useless concepts, but that thing is a drug
The ending got me. Great cursed language
This is actually something I want to do when I eventually learn more about linguistics and programming, languages. I am going to make a cursed conlang that is also a cursed esolang.

unclear whether "primary element" is calculated based number of atoms, by volume, or by mass, all three would be different. For example is water considered primarily hydrogen or oxygen? (by number of atoms it'd be hydrogen, by mass or volume it'd be oxygen)
also how are aspects like the primary element handled for fictional/abstract nouns? do you use carbon for a cartoon bee for example? do you omit it? what about purely abstract concepts like geometric shapes?
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. I should have also included the ability to add counters for secondary and tertiary elements like I did with the colours
I'll definitely expand upon all of this more if I end up making a revision of the language
@@Kris_not_Chris And it is not necessary to always use all counters, so one can skip the element counter if they are describing any abstract concepts
