I decided make a language optimal for Minecraft as well. I just started it, but so far I have wwwqwaew Aw dsdww aews wwaSe awwqqd wwaSa Deaaqsw which means Dirt drops as an item when broken with any tool or by hand, but a shovel is the quickest way to break it. since I've been translating the Minecraft wiki. All the keys in the writing system are right where java edition players would put their left hand. The sentence more literally means (any tool) (or) (hand) (kills) (dirt block) (becomes) (dirt item). (shovel best) Its not completely optimal, but probably too compact to easily identify mistakes while typing or to easily correct errors while reading.

8:33 You know, Latin didn't really have 3rd person pronouns, opting for the demonstrative pronouns in these contexts. And (even though technically it doesn't even a "pronoun" PoS) the Japanese words "kare", "kanojo" and "karera" which are normally translated as "he", "she" and "they" literally come from old demonstratives for things that are far away. Using "that" or "this" instead of a 3rd person pronoun is perfectly acceptable. In fact, in my own native language it happens quite often (even though in it it's with a bit of a disrespectful/casual connotation). And I know of a few other languages that have the same thing happen there as well. Omitting 3rd person pronouns makes a lot of sense for a minimalist language.

Well, Latin is strange, because it does have third person pronouns but they’re often used the same way in which demonstrative are used. Still the series seems to be pretty conclusively like pronouns, and it is distinct from the three series of demonstratives (translating to this/here, that/there, yon/yonder), the proximal, distal, and medial demonstratives. doesn’t include that aspect of perspective in a frame of reference.

I have no idea. I created a script for hexadecimal numerals that is also based on 4 bit binary symbology, and can I guess be extended to write text by pairing the symbols, but even my script is moderately impractical so I ended up dumping it. It was however originally designed to be written in pen, and it's also written so that every single character can technically be written as a single penstroke. (I modified the later versions of the symbols both to make this easier, and to make the characters less symmetrical.) You can imagine the script easily enough by taking approximating it like this: (these are of course latin script, but they are visually similar enough to the way the characters are written to get the point across) | =0, b = 1, p = 2, B = 3, d = 4 The remaining characters can't really be represented with existing characters. But as a rough approximation db = 5 You can see where this leads, and how it's similar in basic logic to the system used by the Votgil script (and is in fact a simple binary count of 'on and off' portions lumped together into a single symbol). The difference with my systems is mine was first and foremost designed to be written with a pen, and secondly it's original purpose is a system to write base 16 numbers in a way that is completely distinct from base 10 arabic numerals. As such, the fact that the characters essentially count up in binary isn't so strange. The modified forms contain some alterations that are harder to mimic using standard symbols, but the point of them was to make the character set less symmetrical. A requirement I had because I wanted to be able to use them in both right to left and left to right ordering while having the character set itself clearly indicate which writing direction was in use, and that meant the fact that some of the original characters were vertically mirrored versions of other characters was problematic. In any event, given the similar logical basis, I suppose you could adapt my characters as one way to write Votgil script using a pen. It'd certainly be more efficient than other ways of doing it...

(4:35) Personally, I would find it better if Vötgil changed A /æ/ to Ä and Ö /ɑ/ to A. This from a Swedish speaker, where E is used for /e~ɛ/ and Ä for /ɛ~æ/, and Ö for /ø~œ/, so this change would help me at least. "¨" is used to mark a fronted version of a vowel, so Ö is a front O, that is a rounded E. Ä would in this case be a fronted A, and since Vötgil (or Vatgil in this case) uses unrounded back /ɑ/, the front would be an unrounded front /æ/.

/h/ can be confused for /f/ (as we've all learnt), f can be confused for /θ/, which is quite similar to /s/, which is rarely distinguished with by /z/ which is very similar to /ʒ/, which is very similar to /ɮ/, which is very similar to /l/, which is not distinguished in Japanese with the sound /r/ which is quite similar to the English sound [ɹ], which is an approximant, therefore, /h/ is a glottal approximant.
@ryuko4478

the joke is that he spelled the word as glotal, instead of glottal, /h/ is frequently considered an approximant (or more accurately "bare phonation" or an unsyllabic voiceless equivalent of the next vowel) rather than fricative in English and many languages of Europe.

Conlang Critic distal human "This/That". basically the equivalent of Esperanto "Tiu" (rather than ŝi/li/ĝi). I don't have any other examples, but it's the kind of substitute most no-third-person languages have (a few of my Conlangs). Vötgil, as far as I'm aware, doesn't have this either - so your point still stands
@HBMmaster

imo, a demonstrative that can be used as a third person pronoun just, is also a third person pronoun.
Ok, I figured out how to write votgil using pencil and paper. So what you need to do is buy 4 pencils (no 1, no 2, no 2.5, and no 3) then when writing, quickly switch between each pencil. No 1 is black, no 2 is grey, no 2.5 is light grey, and no 3 is white.

Two thoughts unrelated to the video: *Someone should invent a conlang optimized for compressibility. As in ".zip" file compression. *Or maybe a "lossy" compression algorithm for language. After compression & decompression, the result has the same rough meaning, but isn't exactly the original text.

Ainu does not have a thirt person form singular or plural. They only have the word シヌマ which is also used super rarely. When you speak normaly usually the third person doesn't exist. You use the base stem for that case like ヌカラ「nukar」which does mean like "he sees", then you add to the verb クヌカラ「kunukar」which means "I see". And Ainu is a natural language.
