Tell me Y,

it's actually "So that's Y" not "And that's Y"

The fact that a blind man had so much influence on our writing system is hilarious, absurd, and awesome.
you mean appius claudius caecus ?
Do remember that text at the time was commonly written on wax tablets or carved in stone, both of which are inherently tactile media. A blind man couldn’t read papyrus scrolls, but those were expensive, so primarily saved for long form media.
As someone who is only mildly interested in studying language, this series does often devolve into word salad but I love it

Yes

I love Xhosa's repurposing of c, q, and x for its 3 primary click consonants - /ǀ/, /ǃ/, and /ǁ/. They have other click consonants too, but they all fall under these 3 primary groups.
xQc really named himself after the three English letters closest to being redundant.
That's some symbolism, alright.

Also, the sound “kyuh” is predominantly represented with the letters “cu”.
Cumulative, accuse, cure, cute, cube, etc.
Sure you could replace it with “Ky” but it would give words like “Kyumulative”, which may also seem like it’s saying “Chi-yumulative” or “chi-umalative”.
If we’re doing purely phonetic spelling, you get Kyoomuhluhtihv. Which looks like a Russian town name.
KYOOOOOO
I'm brazilian and this made me LOL
I know what I'm naming my next fictional Russian town. Kyoomuhluhtihv.
As a Russian, that doesn't really look like a Russian town name, more like a weird mix of Finnish and Korean lol
@@meowcat7124 isn’t that what russian is
We probably need part 3, covering X which sounds like either 'ks' or 'z'
Edit: Nevermind, maybe the letter J would be a better choice because it's pronounced so differently in other languages (Somehow the letter sounds like a Y in languages like German and Swedish and also sounds somewhat like H in Spanish)
I don't think there is going to be one!
The Y is the original pronunciation
X has at least 3 pronunciations: KS in Fix, GZ in Example, and Z in Xylophone. And J was originally just a shape variation, an I with a hook, so it makes perfect sense that it eventually came to stand for the sound of non-syllabic I, like our Y. That is how it is used in many languages today, including Latin. But some languages changed the Y sound into different sounds but kept the same letter, like the French, which is where we get our pronunciation of J.
@@tkfandbfbfan Perhaps for you it has a KS sound, but for me and millions of others, the X in example is pronounced like the GS in eggs.

Interesting side-note: the Cyrillic letter С looks exactly like the Latin letter C and also makes a /s/ sound (and it's even on the same place on the keyboard! infuriating Russians who accidentally use the wrong one) but it has its own very interesting history (the so-called "lunate sigma") and isn't even descended from gaml
I feel like this further informs my feeling that we should stop caring about when s and c are used in sertain words. Because as long as one kan understand what they're reading, it's fine.
@@tangentfox4677sure you can understand even if it's spelled wrong, but it also takes significantly longer to parse
I wondered why french had such a long name for Y (ygreck) when everything else was very similar to english and in both languages the letter names are very short, never knew it was actually being called "Greek I", neat!

The real play is to redefine "c" to represent the "ch" sound
Based. That's what I do with a lot of my characters' names lmao.

Actually in Turkish, c is like the g sound in the word "german" and the G in Turkish is like the g sound in great. We also have ç fo ch and ş for sh.
@@miray3596 Turkish is a superior language and I will die on that hill
or ch becomes tsh
Just a note, when you showed how Polish used C, there was a mistake: Polish is actually /tɕi/, and the palatal phonemes in Polish are handled very much like a Romance language would handle them
Theoretically there exist rare borrowed words with ⟨ci⟩ pronounced as /t͡si/ for example (probably the most common instance of it) „cis” as in „tłuszcze cis”, „cispłciowy” and as a name of a musical note

His next video should simply be titled "C++" with 0 explanation
“That’s how Middle C looked like. However, in Early Modern C, the word order has been significantly relaxed.”
Unlike more object-oriented languages, C follows a strict verb-subject-object word order.

Just discovered this masterpiece. Awesome work man.
I love these letter lore videos! It would be cool to make this a series. Not necessarily for all letters, but for the ones with an interesting origin or that are used in many different ways across different languages. I guess the “w” video already covered five different letters but there are still more to pick from.
Best, love jan Misali videos
Conlang review: C has an unusually limited orthography compared to most conlangs, which makes it relatively easy for new conlang enthusiasts to learn. The alphabet is as follows: "c, C." The phonemic inventory is more diverse, consisting of "s, ch, sh, and k," depending on context.
C has a very strange orthography, using not only the letters of the English alphabet but also additional symbols such as +-/*=, which are also pronounced and serve as one letter abbreviations for mathematical expressions.
The language is descended from English and reused English words like if, for, while and abbreviations of English words like int(eger), float (ing point number), (char)acter. It removes a lot of ambiguity from the English language by giving very specific definitions to these so called keywords.
Interestingly, text modifiers like ();, and many more are essential to correct C syntax and give structure to what can often seem like a random collection of words and letters.
The most interesting feature of the C language has to be the possibility to define your own words, allowing you to express extremely complicated things with just a letter, if you want to.
In fact, text written in the c language are usually just one word (a lot of speakers use "main"), that is then defined to mean everything you want to say. This is a strange concept that has so far only been observed in the programming language family.

I used to be one of those people who thought we should be getting rid of letters like c, q, z and others now I'm one of those people who's like we should be adding letters to distinguish the voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives.
How about using Albanian _dh_ to represent dhe voiced variant so more often used dhan dhe Greek _th_ ? It looks a bit strange, but it's nothing one can't get familiar with (widh?).

He pretty much already covered the histories of F, V, U, and Y in his "w" video, and in this one, he pretty much already covered G. And unfortunately, a lot of letters are not as interesting as far as their histories are concerned. He could honestly cover all the remaining vowels in one video and include the history of J in it, and it probably would be less than 15 minutes.
I don't think a video about every letter is the way to go here, but I'm sure there are several more interesting "history of writing" stories to be told (heck, they even made a playlist for it!)

I cannot possibly believe you got me with that damn joke again. Unbelievable.
That's so cool to know that Y was originally called "I Grecca" (Greek I), because this is how is still called in my languages, Catalan and Spanish. I always wondered why the name
The Russian word for Y is игрек (igrek), presumably taken from the French
yeah i thought the same
In Polish "Y" is also called "igrek"
@@voland6846 can confirm y is still i grecque meaning greek i in France
Edit: didn't know how to spell greek
As an English speaker in Canada who had to learn French in grade school, I was always extremely confused about why 'Y' had an insane name like "eegrek." It sounded like some Star Trek species or something. "Greek I" makes so much sense.

It’s a common complaint, that’s misguided at best. No you can’t just replace C with K and with S.
(~No you can’t just replace C with K and with S~)
You know S becomes voiced intervocalically, and suffixes preserve etymology.

The /k/ sound in English was originally made by the rune ᚳ, which was replaced by the Latin letter C.
This is my new favorite song
Simple answer: Because the "Ch" sound can't be expressed by any other letter or pair of letters.
I've heard some people say the same thing about how "X" could be replaced by "Z," "Ex," "Cs," or "Ks." However, I think the most useful placement of the letter X is at the end of words like "tax" without making it look like a plural (tacs, taks, or tacks).

I think that went archaic very early on but very interesting!
That was called boustrophedon
That sounds like and amazing piece of worldbuilding for any fantasy/ancient culture.
And also could be used as such a mind bending tactic in the modern world, especially for puzzles or just to troll people. (Once in english class i rotated my book upsidedown and read like normal to see how long it took the teacher to notice, it was fun, i think it took 5min)
