Hey, serious ask, does anyone want me to make a constructed language for them? I've been wanting to practice my conlanging skills but I put too much pres…

@davel @FunkyStuff The letter ç has an interesting history. It is a variant of the letter z, not the letter c. The letter z in the Visigothic script had very curly ends: ꝣ.

Some (Portugguese) place names are also written with ç or z in different languages: Açores / Azores, Moçambique / Mozambique

Ever wonder why many Dutch people call their wheelie bin a kliko?

It’s a "syllabic abbreviation" of Klinkenberg Koster, a waste disposal company. It’s the same linguistic trick that gave us "pixel" (picture element) and "wifi" (wireless fidelity).

Oh, didn't share on here, but I came across this site for generating a random phonetic inventory

BTW, just in case it wasn't clear: the Disney ASL song remakes were not AI generated or anything like that. Just a ton of hard work from a dedicated team of artists and TDs who cared deeply about doing this properly, with ASL choreography by the Deaf West Theatre.

My wife was one of the TDs who worked on this! Believe you me, things got weird with resurrecting the 8+ year old Frozen 2 pipeline; we're not even on the same OS as back then.

(Behind-the-scenes video is from Cartoon Brew)

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version (which took a ton of work), reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!

No AI shortcuts or anything, just doing it properly all the way.

Lately, every time I see another language I'm in awe but it also makes me really want to start working on my own language (construct one, that is)

I could make something beautiful and something I love
