Creating a Phonological System - Part 4
zhlédnutí 383Před rokem
This is the fourth and last part of my series about creating a phonological system. This time, I created a complex system, using both a complex vowel and consonant inventory, and some phonotactical rules. Additionally, I introduce the concept of Vowel Harmony.
Creating a Phonological System Part 3
zhlédnutí 234Před rokem
This is part 3 of the series about how to create a full phonological system for a language. I first present an average size consonant and vowel inventory, then the phonotactical rules, and finally a sample text in a language that follows these rules.
Creating a Phonological System - Part 2
zhlédnutí 229Před rokem
This is part 2 of my series about how to create a phonetic system for a (constructed) language. This video is an example of an easy system with easy phonotactics. It uses common consonants and common vowels, and combines them into easily pronounceable words of any length.
Creating a Phonological System or How do Languages Use Sounds? Part 1
zhlédnutí 566Před rokem
This is the first video of a short series. I describe, how languages produce words out of sounds. In this first video, I explain phoneme inventories and phonotactics. For this purpose, I use a very easy invented language. This can be useful for designing a sound system for your own invented language. Or you always wanted to understand, how languages organise phonemes and combine them into words.

41 Frequent Phonemes that Speed up Your Language Learning
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed 4 lety
Of all the many phonemes that exist in different languages, I have chosen 41 frequent phonemes - 11 vowels and 30 consonants. It will take about 15 minutes to hear examples of each of them in different languages. When you have learned them all, you have a strong base that can help you learn any language. Please note that I am not talking about specific phonetic symbols of the IPA, but rather ab...

The world's rhotics
zhlédnutí 4,8KPřed 6 lety
In this video I present to you the different "r" sounds (= rhotics) in the world's languages. I first talk about the three main categories of rhotics (alveolar trills, approximants, uvular rhotics). Then I go into some details, how rhotics interact with other sounds in a word. Thirdly I talk about Dutch and Portuguese, that to me are special cases considering rhotics.
Velar consonants

In this video I present to you a way of producing any vowel. We start with the three "most basic" vowels, introduce the central vowel "e" and glide our way through all the cardinal vowels. Finally I introduce you to the intricate vowel diagram of Luciano Canepari. The diagrams I all found on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel Luciano Canepari's excellent website: canipa.net/

It's a game. I've recorded music videos in many different languages - sung by myself. You may guess, what language the song is in. Please do NOT write the answer as a commentary but to amrito at gmx dot net
Nice to hear all these sounds. Starting my conlang journey. I bet pronouncing all of these was quite the workout
what kind of major you go into univerity to learn IPA?
大学で音声学のテストが来週あって、必死にIPA覚えてるんだけど本当に難しい。 あなたの動画を参考にしながら、頑張ります。
THANK YOU❤
Thank you! Best IPA pronunciation video on CZcams I've found! This video reminds me of my grandmother, who always reads me the IPA chart before going to bed.
Which sound is the j sound in English?
I guess you mean the "j" in words like "jet" or "job". That is /ʤ/ in IPA. "jet" /ʤɛt/ "job" /ʤɔb/ The symbol /j/ in IPA is most often written with a "y" in English. "yes" /jɛs/ "you" /jʊw/
Can you say what the name of each character is called? Also what each category means
Nasal sounds?
No nasal sounds?
Thanks!!! Need this for my conlang. 😊 I'm using the german IPA sounds with 2-3 changes.
In my language, the ʔ sound is written "q", for example "raqad" [ɹɐʔɐd] (he slept)
Great and very informative video!
Браво, очень познавательный канал
As someone who wants to go into dialect coaching, I can tell i'll be referencing this video until I get the hang of it!!
I feel honoured. Dialects often show quite subtle differences in pronunciation. The additional diacritics can be useful there, to distinguish between similar sounds. I can also recommend Luciano Canepari's phonetic alphabet (canIPA). It has more symbols. Canepari and colleagues also studied dialects (e.g. of Italian).
@@ConlangKrishna I'll definitely check out his chart! My professor has us using the IPA chart voiced by Peter Isotalo and I've been using it throughout the semester. It has most of the sounds on the IPA chart!! Having most of the sounds pronounced in this video seemed easier for me to understand though!!
i bet a million dollars that his name isnt krishna
Thank you so much❤
You visited Nepal..I am from Jhapa, Nepal..Nice to see you in Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
where are the labio-linguals?
I'm starting to learn how to pronounce the epiglottals... I'm glad... 'Cause I want to add the epiglottal stop to my conlang, as well as pharyngeal fricative too.
So useful! I've been learning several different languages recently for daily and occupational use. The only written learning material i have is in IPA, which is a bunch of gibberish. Now I know how to read the ones I often meet. THANKS
Which sound is that You force air through the sides of your toungue while holding your tongue up?
I think you mean the voiceless lateral fricative /ɬ/. It exists in some Mexican languages, in South African languages, and in Welsh (ll).
@@ConlangKrishna Okay, so I was correct. Thank You! Maybe I misheard it but it has an L-is sound in the video.
It has, but it's needed, thank You for answering!

Great idea using a glottal stop and shorting the distance from the consonant we hear. Slight clarification, if you don't mind. Egressive means the airstreams is outward. Ingressive would mean the airstream is inward. You're correct on the outward part. Though it doesn't mean it is forceful. The pulmonic consonants can also be described as egressive though they are typically not specified as such because it's quite rare that they are pronounced ingressive, so they're assumed to be egressive.

At 2x speed this video is the BEST! Thank you :)
This could be sentence mixed into anything
mashaAllah
I am Sindhi and our languages has almost all of the voiced implosive's (except for the uvular implosive, we have every other one) you did a really good job at pronouncing them!
Thank you. That means a lot to me, as I did nor really know any language that uses them. I have to learn more about Sindhi!
@@ConlangKrishna Thank you! Our language has a very large phonetic inventory mostly consisting of many, many aspirated sounds, retroflex sounds and implosives. Most Indian languages have retroflex sounds and aspirated consonants already but we are known for having an unusually large inventory of implosives.
@@ConlangKrishnabasically every South Asian language has all the plosives except the uvular ones
17:36 Not sure what you mean by saying that Mandarin confounds R and L. They have both distinct sounds.
True, they are different in Standard Mandarin. I personally know quite some people from China who confound l and r when speaking other languages, in my case, German. Same for Thai, that also has both phonemes. I have the impression it's similar to English t and θ, or Spanish θ and s. Some dialects have them merged, even if the standard variant has both.
@@ConlangKrishna I see. Yes, it's true that some people (not sure which area, but I guess the South somewhere) do pronounce Rs similar to L's even when speaking Mandarin. Some also pronounce Ns similar to an L. It would be interesting to find out who exactly does that. I would assume it's because they speak their local Chinese language more than they speak Mandarin.
I just want to say that I love your videos and wish that you would make more of them!
Thank you for your support! I have the plan to redo the full IPA chart, as my knowledge has grown. But I am running low in ideas what else to post about...
very useful
Sweet video! I was wondering what the Czech R sound with a v on top would be.
Yeah, the Czech "ř" is very rare. It sounds like a tongue-rolled "r", but somehow "rougher". As "ř" is produced with the tongue slightly higher in the mouth than the more common "r", it can be transcribed as [r̝]. That's a "raised alveolar trill".
Very interesting video, thank you!
It's super interesting as an English speaker to hear sounds that people with various accents use, like some Eastern European sounds and some South Asian sounds were particularly distinct to me.
àáâäæãåā ßśš łl
Sorry, ß, ś, and š are not part of the IPA. 😉 You will have to install an app that allows you to write /s,ɕ,ʃ/. I use "IPA keyboard".
You are a legend
As a singer, I thank you for this great reminder of the sounds I learned in college. I would also love a video of the sounds by themselves, without a vowel before or after.
Americans should take a couple of courses in this so they don't mispronounce foreign names/words all the time
finally new video after 7 month
thank you so much for showing us the walk and the final view! im jealous but happy to see, and it reminds me i need to go walk in nature more often, like before 2020
