As is, I hazard to guess, not uncommon, I started off enjoying some Lord of the Rings (as one does), then ended up listening to Clamavi de Profundis's arrangement of "The Song of the Mounds of Mundburg", then dimly remembered that Rohan was sort of associated with ancient England, so I looked it up and, lo and behold, someone actually DID translate that poem into Old English, so I was glossing over it and realized I had no idea what I was looking at, so I searched 'how to learn old english' in YT and that ended me up on your video about the Lord's Prayer. This has brought me to two distinct but related observations: 1. Old English is cool and I wish to learn it; 2. The French ruin everything.
Congrats, dude. I've been here since you were at 100 subs (so about 2 years I can't remember). Your videos helped me with my conlangs before. I don't do conlanging anymore, but am still interested in natural languages and conlanging topics. Thank you for the help shown in your videos.
I’ve been watching since conlang with me #1 and enjoyed every second of all of your videos. You hadn’t posted in a while so I checked twitter and saw that you were writing the textbook you showed on stream (Oswald). Congrats! You deserve it!
Always a happy day when Colin uploads! I miss the biiraiverse streams :) Wish you tons of inspiration writing the book, I know it’s gonna be amazing, and I want to read it already :)
Hello all you lingo learners. TH-cam suggested your videos because I am learning High Valyrian, and having to relearn Grammer. My school was not the best, it was also in the hood. I have come so far learning High Valyrian, but it is a slow and yet fun process. I hope to watch more of your videos. I'll have to buy some more notebooks. Lmao.
Here is my shot at the poem 1- It came from yonder, and the fist impression it gave was that of beauty 2- It had profound and widespread effects; it's casualities were without care so that it could be called cruel 3- Once on land it was seen as terrible, with "sharp edges" 4- It worked slow, unrelenting, unbowing to the strongman's defenses, yet brough destruction (change?) 5- I'm unsure as for wether "hate-rune bound" means it countered those evil charms or brough them with it 6- "I come from that [bevolved and of beauty][pure? given? distinctly feminine] and so I shall pass on" ? 7- The old know it shall grow and propagate. Send ripples through the people(?) 8- It is a global phenomena. (could also simply mean inevitable/natural) ("the world" could be a single person) 9- I can only assume the answer is a word that in Old English is feminine (N/A due to me not knowing OE) A foreign culture? witchcraft? A plague? An invasive species (plant or microbe)? Lust? An Idea? A season(winter?)? Love? An Identity? Hope? I'm not sure if I got it right, but I have to say it's such a beautiful poem! I did *not* get it at all the first few read-through (tho I don't think I truly get it still)
The riddle is known as "Exeter Book Riddle 33" (according to the numbering of the Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records), and the answer to the riddle is "an iceberg". "Shield-walls carved" refers to the cutting into the sides of ships. The "mother" is the sea-water from which the iceberg was formed, and the "daughter" is the "gracefully standing" lake that is left behind on the land once the iceberg has melted.
Congratulations on reaching 6k+ followers! Also, the answer to your riddle is not hard to determine, if you think outside of the box. Because this riddle deals with something water related (a lot of water imagery here), and I am guessing something destructive caused by water, the only things that could come to mind are either waves or icebergs, and since 'waves' were already mentioned..
Hi corin, can you review the amarangna language, or sarkic language from SCP Foundation. I have seen an entire website for its history, phonetics, etc but i never seen anyone reviewing it and test if its speakable.

French is a mixture of Celtic and Latin languages.

Looking forward to Oswald Bera! Great OE videos Colin
Good to hear from you again Colin!

Language is such a fascinating thing.
I’m learning several simultaneously, in addition to what I already know, and man oh man I LOVE IT
Hope the book gets published soon, best of luck with that :) the next Biiraiverse stream should translate the riddle into one of the conlangs.
Yay! I've been patiently waiting lololol I can't wait

You're back, big thanks and good luck publishing the book! I was just browsing your channel yesterday, hoping for some new videos.
Here is my shot at the poem
1- It came from yonder, and the fist impression it gave was that of beauty
2- It had profound and widespread effects; it's casualities were without care so that it could be called cruel
3- Once on land it was seen as terrible, with "sharp edges"
4- It worked slow, unrelenting, unbowing to the strongman's defenses, yet brough destruction (change?)
5- I'm unsure as for wether "hate-rune bound" means it countered those evil charms or brough them with it
6- "I come from that [bevolved and of beauty][pure? given? distinctly feminine] and so I shall pass on" ?
7- The old know it shall grow and propagate. Send ripples through the people(?)
8- It is a global phenomena. (could also simply mean inevitable/natural) ("the world" could be a single person)

Nice use of the greatest form of punctuation, the double danda ॥ 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congrats dude!
looking forward to a book that teaches you all this
Congratulations.
Also check out Jackson Crawford's new textbook on Old Norse which literally just came out.
Congratulations on the book :)
A ferocious storm, maybe? Lightning?
That was my thought as well, a storm coming in from the sea
Congrats to 5k subscribers! I'm excited for Osweald Bera, definitely going to get it.

Congrats on 5000 subs. I think the answer is "iceberg".
It is. =P I think. Something destructive that is borne from water that isn't a wave.
🎉🎉🎉
any updates on the book?

A missile?
The answere might be cheese
cheese is always the answer to life's dilemmas
