Lernu esperanton.

>>29287
Sounds kinda cool. It could work. Krautician language possibly? Berndenian?

Albanian would also work. I don't think any Albanians on the chans.
Making up a new language, you need someone with ultra high autism. Liek Tolkien. Or Slovborg.

>>29298
>Making up a new language, you need someone with ultra high autism.
>you need someone with ultra high autism.

Seems like we got half the job done already! Good stuff! 100% support this

>>29298
In making a language you normally borrow from other languages and make your language distinct. For instance the english language contains norse, latin, french and celtic as well. Plus I think it would be easier using the latin alphabet. Example the word autumn.
In japanese - Aki
In gaelic(scottish) - Foghar

In say Berndenian we can make the word harki. I.e a simple combination of two seperate words can go a long way in forming a language. Then we next have to focus on how a sentence is structured. Probably the normal way. Or if you want to have an extra layer of difficulty we could always do the hebrew way of writing.

>>29307
You can even write like this.
In polish the word for me is mnie
In ancient greek the work for me is ou
in portuguese the word for me is mim
Berndenian language mnimou - me(in English)

The word for love in romanian is lumesc
The word for love in finnish is armastella
The word for love in uzbek is svegi
The word for love in berndenian is lumestelgi.

In a sentence it could simply go like this
mnimou lumestelgi harki. Or if you really want to be a troll
mnimoulumestelgiharki.

I have a suggestion. In cymraeg (the language of Wales) many English words have been adopted into the old Celtic tongue. To do this they begin with an alphabet that is completely phonetic, as in every character is always pronounced the same, then they simply spell the word so it sounds roughly the same as it does in English read aloud.
We can create our own in this manner using using unique characters from any existing language, Cyrillic even, though I highly suggest we keep it small for simplicity sake, perhaps around 24 characters with no duplicate sounds.

Welsh alphabet:
a b c ch d dd e f ff g ng h i j l ll m n o p ph r rh s t th u w y

>>29311
Also a non English grammar! Sorry, but that's a must! I forgot to say, English grammar is shit and confusing. Instead we should use descriptions after names like a sensible language, ie dog brown.

>>29311
I'm not familar with the welsh language so I can't really make a good choice here. Can you give an example?
>>29312
I mean I get where your coming from. However most people here are used to saying pretty women not women pretty.

>>29313
>I'm not familar with the welsh language so I can't really make a good choice here. Can you give an example?
Well, I'm not suggesting we actually speak welsh but just for ecsampl, pinc.
Actwali, fwc tis aedea lol. Ae dwnt now, ut maet wrc.

>>29317
Sorry, forgot the alphabet song.

>>29317
>>29318
Ofcourse the vowels are a e i o u w y

>>29317
So something like victoria would be written like fficthoria.

>>29321
more like fictorua

>>29325
Alright I think i'm beginning to understand. I was thinking to keep it simple but difficult to understand.

I tried learning some Welsh while in Wales, but most of the locals (at least those who knew it themselves) would just start speaking English to me, probably because I was so bad at it.

>>29327
Yeah I was thinking of keeping the original english alphabet. Hence my original idea was just to combine words of different languages to create smething new.

>>29326
Well my point is, once we start to replace characters in berndese we can make it look however we want, but establishing a new alphabet will be our phonetic cipher. So it doesn't have to look the way welsh does, it could just look like:

as dhxcv bij io sakl sdretjkl

So all you have to do is learn the alphabet and you can read. Hence keeping it limited in characters to make it simple.

>>29327
I just speak whatever I like. Even in english I rarely care what others are saying anyway. A couple welsh people got angry at me once for not pronouncing things correctly but I just kept talking. I can pronounce lots better now anyway.
Bachgen da am trio. The tongue tricks take some time but it's always great to see people try things.

>>29329
I get what you mean however I believe it is a smart idea to begin with something simple then modify the entire language through time. After all most languages begin as another language and then begin to divert. If we begin with say combining multiples of the same word from differing languages. Unless you want to go full country maker and found a new country. Then the new language should be simple yet difficult to understand.

You wrote a lot. Will read sometimes.
I advise making the language agglutinative to make indos- you mad.

Maybe start with vowels first and then take it from there

>>29344
I think a, e, i, o, u is simple and gets to the point. We could always do a hebrew and have no vowels

Another suggestion: Sumerian.
It has the added benefit that a cuneiform sign can have even over 100 meanings so sentences can be formed such way that they have several different translations. I can recall something I heard/read somewhere their texts frequently were drafted so they have a layer of naughty stuff in it. Liek:
"En-Lil went to the beach of the lake" can also read as "En-Lil had wild sex with the XY goddess".
Sadly I can't give a source.

>Let us create a language thus we can protect what we say from outsiders.
KC lingo already does this to some extent.

>>29347
Three cups of three.

>>29346
I'm a christian the example makes me wreathe with anger plus I think sumerian would be too difficult to learn

>>29351
Could this be the first onomatopoeia of the Bernd language?

Maybe

I mean if we already made a magazine, I'm sure we can make our own language.

>>29365
Here's a start

a - pronounced aaa
ap - pronounced aff
b - pronounced be
c - pronounced cay
d - pronounced dee
e - pronounced i
f - pronounced eff
g - pronounced ge
gr - pronouced ger
h - pronounced hu
j - pronounced jey
l - pronounced al
ln - pronounced alon
m - pronounced mu
n - pronounced n
o - pronounced o
p - pronounced pay
ps - pronounced pass
r - pronounced qu
s - pronounced es
t - pronounced ti
tf - pronounced taf
u - pronounced oo
x - pronounced ek
xn - pronounced ekine
y - pronounced iy
yg - pronounced yig

this is just a building block.

>>29366
Sounds good. Will there be a q letter or any accented letters?

>>29366
Why would anyone in their right mind pronounce ap as aff?
Not to mention e as i.
Also separate aff and eff? For what purpose? In the old Hungarian alphabet, "runes", a couple of letters had an a- and e- version which basically signified low and high "vocalization" because Hungarian has vowel harmony and when they wrote old old script they could leave out the vowels and this could give directions for a whole word how to read it. But in this case there's literally no need.

>>29376
ap as in raphael instead of rafael. What would you recommend the alphabet to be?

>>29380
Honestly I don't get it.

>>29385
Planning to write a better explanation. I was hasty in the morn.

Ok. Here it goes.
Creating words via "word-bushes" is creating words via abstraction and association. It's called a word-bush because the words are stemming from a root and branching from their parents in a bush-like fashion if we wish to draw their relations. It looks similar to the family-tree, oftentimes languages are imagined and portrayed as such, one language stemming from another.
Instead of taking a word, looking up it's translations to several languages, then hacking pieces from those words and stitching them together into monstrosities, this way we could "grow" words from each other.
The basis of this "growth" is the relations between the ideas of the things we want to name. Naming: creating a word for a thing - e.g. the name of "an angular object with empty space inside and what we use for storage" is "box".
This relation is based on the abstract properties of the things.

Properties of a box are: being angular, empty inside, and we put/store stuff in it. Now comes the abstraction: we take this properties and see what other things they characterize. Let's say another item has these, but also has additional properties, e.g. it can roll around, it's for transportation, it makes noises when used, etc. It's clearly a different thing than a box but also bears the properties of a box. In English they call it a "car". But how about we make a word that reflects the similarity to a box, but also implies that this thing bears additional functions. So call it a boxcar.
But we want usable words and not compound words, especially because in time these words can grow ginormous. We don't want to stick whole words to each other, only letters or syllables.
Root words are the most basic words covering the most basic concepts which all the other concepts - and with them words - are growing from. Root words are also as simple as a syllable or even a letter.
So let's call our "angular, empty thing we put/store things in" a bo. And let's say the word bo contains all these abstract properties.

>>29392
>>29393
>>29394
>>29395
So it is similar to my idea except we take a concept and roll with it. So for instant an insect we would call
ins then we would add on stuff like
insp for a wasp
insper for a paper wasp
I like the idea.

>Star Trek TNG
>communist race destroying tv show but has good language episode
>"Darmok"
You dudes need to start with concepts.
For example if I say
"John Kennedy, at, Dallas"
You would immediately due to the man and the context and the epicness of history, picture someone surrounded by kikes, who want to kill him. As was the case with JFK when he was murdered in Dallas.
See? Language is conceptual so I just wanted to point that out. Other examples would be, Trump at UN and you would think immediately how he said socialism is for total faggots and that only patriots would hold the future. So again, concepts.
It was a pretty good episode in terms of communication.

>>29396
Similar but we aren't constricted by the languages (and their vocabulary) of the Earth. I used the English naming scheme as a basis for better understanding.
Every sound can be associated with a meaning. And I mean pure sounds too, in the case of consonants these are sounds pronounced without an auxiliary vowel (so when saying b just pronounce the sound and not bee). And this meaning can be the subject of abstraction to expand it's use.
About this meaning I'll write an example in the eve.

Also I'm sorry but my grammatical vocabulary is seriously lacking. Maybe there are things that I could write more clear with the precise terms.
Also I heard about this "word-bush" stuff once or twice, long ago and not even the whole thing, so part of it just rationalizations for myself how the authors of the idea could have thought based on what I know about those people believe. There supposed to be books about it somewhere.

>>29397
Yes, when I talking about "properties" of a thing I mean that collection of characteristics which covers the idea of the thing, all the "boxiness" or "cariness".

Brits here might be onto something tho.
One can never know when a secret language can come in handy.
People created such for a reason.
Languages aren't the only way to hide a message.
Some other ways exist to do that.
Can Bernd tell a few?
Help a fellow out.
Explanations are welcomed.
Cooler solution the better.
Keeping it theoretical, not having actual experience in it isn't a problem.
But it's always good if one knows what's he talking about.
Unfortunately I'm too sleepy just to follow myself.
Neither can keep going forever making stuff up for some reason.
Knaves might be about so I decided to write this.
Explanation I won't give sadly.
Right now I'm just glad I finished this shit.

>>29398
Oh, I didn't wrote about this. Sorry. On the weekend. Maybe will try and find a book too.

>>29287
I've already kinda done this

>>29412
Oh, Predator! I wasn't sure where I saw that before. Splendid!

>>29419
The really interesting thing with it is that since there's 10 digits and we have 10 fingers, the upper and lower 5 can represent the 2 hands, effectively forming a new sign language

>>29422
Is there a logic behind how the numbers are displayed? Or was just randomly chosen by the creators?

>>29398
Cont.
So sounds themselves can hold a whole palette of meaning. Let's say we bound to the "r" in example the properties of rolling, transporting, roaring. It signals something which makes mechanical noise, something with an engine.
But we can go further in our abstraction and we can use it for other loud noises, thunder, or for the speakers of a hifi system. Or shouting, and purring noises, we might even want to use it to refer to a cat (with other sounds that express catiness). It can mean resonance (sound waves), but also used to things which (in abstract way) "resonates" well with us or the other way, they are unpleasant.
So we can make a building block out of the sounds which could be used in great many words like legos.
So we don't just look at a thing we want to create a word for, pick a letter from it's "name" (in whatever language) and glue it to the name of a similar thing we already done with.

>>29366
If you really want to go that route, we need to start with the vowel sounds, long and short

a - ah ayy
e - eh eeh
i - ih eye
o - oh owh
u - uh ooh

That's already ten phonetic characters

b - buh
c - ceh
d - duh
f - fff
g - guh
h - heh
j - juh
/k - kuh ceh
l - lll
m - mmm
n - nnn
p - puh
/q - ceh ooh uh
r - rrr
s - sss
t - teh
v - vvv
/w - wuh - ooh uh
/x - eh ceh sss
/y - yuh - eeh uh
/z - teh sss

Then we can eliminate characters that can be spelt phonetically with other characters that's another fifteen

ch th ng

Plus three special characters.

a - ah
? ai - ayy - ah eeh
e - eh
? ee i - eeh
i - ih
? i - eye - uh eeh
o - oh
? ow - owh - oh ooh
u - uh
? oo - ooh

b - buh
c - ceh
d - duh
f - fff
g - guh
h - heh
j - juh
l - lll
m - mmm
n - nnn
p - puh
r - rrr
s - sss
t - teh
v - vvv

? - ch
? - th
? - ng

Last we assign our characters to the phonetic sounds, then we have our cypher. If we learn the alphabet we should be able to read and write the language which will sound like English, although slightly broken like a foreigner might use. However in theory we/I should be able to write a translation script in python/whatever to aid learners.
As for what characters you would like assigned, we could stick to what's readily available on the keyboard or even toss in a few special characters, just to fuck with things more. The standard qwerty already has many characters on it like `¬%^&*_+{}~@:<>/#[]

>>29423
I don't know if it was much logical in the movies, but it seemed like 10 segments would make sense
In the AVP2 game there are 9 segments displayed, so my variant has one extra segment but is otherwise just about the same, I thought about using the 10th segment for extra letters like ð, æ and ö to make them more distinguishable

I just found this pic and was looking at some language stuff

Thanks for showing me the IPA, I hadn't heard of it before. Funny, it showed me I'd made a mistake and left out 'sh' but could spell 'ch' with 't' and 'sh' so improvements made thanks to your suggestion.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to do it before now, I only just got the time off.

So I guess now we assign characters to each sound. Shall we say, one suggestion per post? Please, no greedy bernds, one suggestion to a bernd if possible. All suggestions will be open to debate and change as we progress. I or some other bernd can update the agreed list as we go.

Also, I hope I'm not treading on other bernds' toes here. I love the ideas of communicating in colloquialisms and experimenting with number expression. I'm not trying to rule anything else out by posting this.

>>29518
>>29519
Also, I should note, the characters marked with a '/' are those eliminated by spelling with other characters.

>>29518
All right, I can work better with that. Well, "work", I'm quite busy nowadays.
Anyway I will have some reservations about the list. First which I've problem with is to use "e" to something which actually a derivative of "i" ([iː] real). The next is "u" as "ʌ" , then "c" as "k" which should be simply "k", and "c" should get "ts". Some other stuff too.
Ofc, I'll look into this list and make up my mind if I can live with these, as I can live with "s" - "s" and "sh" - ʃ.

>>29519
>IPA [...] I hadn't heard of it before.
In primary school we learnt English with that. We had to write a vocabulary (there were special copybooks with pages divided in the middle) of words we had to digest in this order: in Hungarian - in English [IPA].
>So I guess now we assign characters to each sound.
You mean we build the alphabet now?

>>29522
>You mean we build the alphabet now?
Unless ofcourse you want alterations. There is no rush. I just assumed it was fairly complete.

Just for reference.

>>29524
>>29522
Just to be clear, all I've done is strip English down to its' core. We can assign whatever characters we want to the phonetic sounds which makes the language cryptic.

For example:
c - k cry = x
or
e - iː real = y

Thus we have a language that reads like English but looks like gibberish.

The point of making it phonetic is to make it plainly readable because English pronunciation can depend on the word, so if we used a cipher on regular English we would need to translate the word back to English to be sure of what it is, but if we use a cipher on the phonetic sounds of English, we should have something encrypted but plainly readable.

>>29518
also:
/ph - f

>>29530
That's breddy neat.
A nice little agglutinative language could be made out of Toki Pona.

>>29524
I would wait a little, maybe the others - preferably not native English posters, we should have a couple such well hidden - has something on their end to add.

>>29518

Hmm, I have same thoughts as >>29522 about "e" <-> "i:" and u <-> ʌ.

As non-native speaker, who often need to transliterate something into Latin script, "i:" is related to "i" more than to "e", and "ʌ" is more like "a". And "k"/"c" relation is ambiguous too. Other sounds look ok at first glance.

But this is Russian-related viewpoint and other people may think differently because of language specifics (our writing also relatively close to phonetics compared to English language).

took me a while to translate, then reply, fjf

i once toyed with the idea of making a script that will change all the words (in english) to close synonyms (or antonyms w/e) and ideally there would be a variable that can tune the "closeness" of synonyms (so you can also use more distant once for memetic effict)

its actually pretty easy to write you just need a quite big dictionary of words (as keys) and synonyms (as list of values) then basically:

for word in text:
output += random.choice(synDict[word])

its nearly all code

*more distant ones

>>31328
So synDict is an associative array and "word" is a placeholder for an expression you want the synonym of?
That would be a long ass array.
And how do you decide which is the basic word (which gets to be the key) and which are just synonyms? Or every word is a key once and value several times simultaneously?

>>31331
Also a word can have different meanings, all meanings with it's own synonyms. How would the script differentiate?

>>31332
nohow i suppose

>>31331
yes its a big [ass] dict (well, not actually, theres hardly more than 5k useful words in english, also im sure theres already dicts of synonyms (for stardict or something) or it can be parsed/ripped from dictionary sites online.

yes it can have multiple keys with sort-of same words as in both in keys and in values but i suppose that should not be a problem also keys are unique (i think)

it will be like this
synDict:
k: (american) -> v: [fat, stupid, yankee]
k: (german) -> v: [kraut, nazi]
k: (nazi) -> v: [german, kraut]

etc, in theory you just need make sure that the keys are unique and then pick random values (also, some online dicts of synonyms have some form of closeness already, so this "closeness" variable you just need to pick either more first once (from the beginning of the list of values) or more distant ones (so, from the end of the list)

its not that complex, most of the work is to build a dictionary from something

*with this "closeness" variable

>And how do you decide which is the basic word (which gets to be the key) and which are just synonyms?

i think in the "dumb" mode it will just replace the word multiple times without checking something like this, so:

"german german german" will become "nazi kraut nazi"

but in more sophisticated modes its possible to map some words (say, when they used/being replaced for the first time) and then reuse this map:

"german german german" will be: "nazi nazi nazi"
"german german nazi nazi" will be: "nazi nazi kraut kraut"

etc

>>31335
imagine feeding a Russia Today article to this "filter"

might be ebin

also its possible to make a memetic dict with data from "urban dictionary" or something like this and filter say wikipedia with it

Pretty good thread going on. I was thinking about translating works of literature after the Bernedese language is more developed.

Maybe start with short novels and then move on to more extensive works.

Thoughts on this? The possibilities of this thing seems endless IMHO

I see a caveat in Berndese.
As is, it's good as a code, one can decipher it if he has the substitute table and knows about the phonetic rule. However writing in Berndese could result in reading, writing failures, difficulties in languages which use Latin script, since one would condition himself to use the Latin chars for different sounds. It's like when someone use a foreign language (largely inclusively tho) that could impair his ability to speak his native.

>>31336
Yeah, that sounds ebin.

>>31341
For starters some short stories, or jokes.

>>31342
Yes, this is a fair consideration. I thought this over after the first comments were made about certain vowel sounds like i:. Ours is a unique situation where posters have different accents which affects pronunciation and thus a phonetic language. As such berndese cannot be read and written as English, to decipher a word it must be read aloud (or in head) which is slower than reading/writing the normal way. Similar to when some bernd writes "eggsburt" but it, in theory, shouldn't be any more difficult to decipher. The only way to know for certain is to try. An interesting side effect is seeing how bernd pronounces certain words, I can read what you write in your accent.

can we claim that english speakers are oppressing us so we need a place to build [s]Aspergia[/s] Berndia?

we are a group of people (and a minority) that english-speaking "normies" hate anyway

another simple recipe for a bernd language is to use different layout for english keyboard when typing, for example actually typing in Colemak but having Qwerty layout set in OS/editor (for berndish transliteration). Learning colemak also benefits typing (and is fun), so in a way its useful (not sure if reading/writing qwerty -> colemak translit is useful too)

basically its normal english with different alphabet that can be typed quite fast on any computer (even without colemak layout) after few weeks of leaning, reading it is probably a lot more complicated however
you also can buy a colemak keyboard or glue some letters on your old one if you need it

for example:
qwerty: "they can't quite get this message"
colemak: "fhko caj'f qilfk tkf fhld mkddatk"

and there are already tools and online converter/decoder:

yes, using a cipher on english is a simple encryption method but it's not a 'language' and it cannot be read without deciphering due to the nature of english. Another interesting solution is pictographic encypted messages, something that was popular on 8ch/cyber and lain/cyb, but again tools must be used to decipher the code, it cannot be read. I'm sorry I cannot remember the tool used for the pictures but it was a firefox extension which was cool.

>>31350
hah, yes, I had thought it would make it easier to remember but it could be equally confusing.
I don't know about you but I was able to read that first line without translating, certainly finding it easier to read than to write atm.

Oh fugg this looks intredasting.

>>31405
yes, this presented me with some thinking, well noticed. I'm against the use of '^' for anything other than the vowels but you are correct, special use cases need a z, not an s. For example 'spaz' which is not the same as spas or spats. I've chosen the 'i' character to represent this.

Also, I've made some updates that should make things easier. The scripts should be more user friendly now and I've expanded the dictionary. Please feel free to experiment. The bernd script will now allow you to spell words phonetically in english (with ^ indicators next to long vowels) and cipher them for you. Still not perfect yet and might be bugs so please give me feedback.

>>31965
Ok, will look into it.

Btw writing haikus in Berndese will be more sane than in English.

Wrote very simple html/js implementation just for fun. It preserves markup and tries to be somewhat user friendly. May contain bugs too.

I've used python script as reference implementation, but did some thing differently.

Just open index.html in browser. Techically, berndese.js may be used separately, it isn't tied to any markup. It may require relatively modern browser (FF/chrome is ok, latest palemoon works).

>>33311
Not bad. Will test it out.

>>33313
>>33311

And there is already a small bug - placeholder with "spell..." sits on wrong textarea. It doesn't break anything though.

Here is the updated version.

>>33314
Where were the testers????!!!

>>33315

Testing are for the weak.

>>33311
hah, I was going to say it was broken but 'spell text phonetically in english' was in the wrong box.

I like it very much. I didn't like having to import the separate regex library in the python script, plus your solution is much more elegant as it keeps the string rather than pulling bits out so you keep punctuation. However, I have found a bug with eng>bernd 'c' 'k' and 'f' 'ph'. I don't think this would be an issue if you just advise not to spell with 'k' or 'ph'.

I like the interface too but it needs some sort of mascot on the page. Berndese mascot?

oh lol, you posted whilst I was playing with it

Fun fact. We call nrx^pqs ooxpx^s. Although it's getting archaic.

>>33314
Comfy to use.

>>33317
>I didn't like having to import the separate regex library in the python script

There is nothing wrong in importing "re" module, because it is the part of standard library (and actually part of language as is). So, it is pure "vanilla" python without external dependencies.

>I have found a bug with eng>bernd 'c' 'k' and 'f' 'ph'.

I've used original translation table from python script v2 but put it into one big object, and swapped keys and values to get table for other side. But now I see that this is wrong, because variables with same key replace each other and some data is lost. I'll rewrite that part later maybe, and it will fix some problems.

It already exists and it's called Deutsch.

>>33322
I spent some time trying to make the python work without regex but I'm just not skilled enough. I might take another swing, you have inspired me.

I looked at the code before testing and saw that might be an issue but honestly I don't think it's a problem. I do think it needs a little help button to explain the vowel sounds anyway, just mention there not to spell with k or ph.

>>33366
That thumbnail is killing me.

>>33368

Even regex thumbnails are hurtful.

>>33370
chuckled, very good

>>33366
yeah, i ended up with a spaghetti code head fuck and even my own comments became alien to me, deleted it in frustration and just went with regex solution. Might take another swing anyway, just because it got under my skin.

Works well, good stuff. still needs a mascot though.

I don't know how far you guys have come, but I recommend just using the IPA for the script.

>>35846
It's usable as is now, and we used it quite a lot.
I still haven't cracked the board tho.

>>35846
So input IPA instead of english for translation? That's actually not a bad idea, though not sure how I would personally use it. I should leave that to someone who has experience in using IPA.

I got to 816 words translated between me and hungry-ball. I figured I would wait to get to 1000 before doing a release with py2exe. I think though, we can do some in browser translation thanks to rus-ball and a greasemonkey script. Just how complex we can have it I'm not sure because I've not tried but I figured if I can free up some time soon I might get something done.

>>35849
>So input IPA instead of english for translation?
Oh no, I mean for the letters used to represent sounds when the language is typed/written.
For example, if a word includes a "TH" sound, such as the one used in "that", it would be written with an IPA "ð"

>>35878
why not the slov-sound-spelling alphabet?

>>35897
I'm not familiar

>>35899
Sorry for the delay. It's very similar to IPA but a little more complete. There is a fantastic article in kohlzine 13 & 14. Well worth a read if you are thinking IPA anyway.

Berndese supa sekrit lang.
