utterance-id1 mm mm mm <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> walk into the part that i spoke to register george poorly lovely coach bianca <unk> hello rape and randomly go kill us a choice [laughter] also coming from well i don't know madison wisconsin yes one william and that's that's right i remember when you were from wisconsin i was thinking about that because like rubber for some reason i think of wisconsin and i remember that like university of wisconsin has a good linguistics program doesn't it it's not bad but that's not working or what we're here to talk about here <unk> we're here to talk about today is bianca is favorite thing about con learning i understand is maybe not my favorite fan yeah well it's something you like do what i gather is constructed scripts script if you are familiar with the technology is the writing system for your language and specifically were then uh talk mainly about the quote unquote native script of your <unk> what sort of in universe people used to ride it and we're going to say you know how do you go about creating a a script for your car right what what considerations you need to involve from history and from the the languages structure and such and what types of scripts people tend to use <unk> online and <unk> i'm going to just let you start with it since this is a matter of fact right well i think you know things to say if you're gonna do well amongst <unk> type of thing now that i think probably <unk> <unk> and it's going to affect my types of languages i mean i think there's also phenomenon last in the sky you kind of want to go to the bank kind of cool and unfortunately not all languages i love <unk> bay and i think more people to fly because they'd rather than thinking my language yeah on the silver actually for my first language yelled huh i created a still a very but i had to do some portions actually as fairly complex tactics yeah didn't actually i thought what the uh sell a bird so i made some modification so that the syllables could be combined into blocks would most of that it's a little involved to explain here but yeah that in itself is not a natural right land any any language in the middle east that use <unk> form had to cope with converting whatever their language was into working with the <unk> some of those had much more complex tactics than some area and so if you're into running the back story you can easily come up with a reason why you're oh yeah and settled with uh a weird weird not quite perfectly matching writing system yeah and that's actually what i intended to do with it is that the explanation for this weird half fill a prairie thing with crazy combinations was that the script actually came from a language that had much simpler tactics yeah i mean i think as long as you're a good reason it's okay but sometimes it's like china <unk> don't do it i mean even if she did like a partial several day and then have like if i want is for like a <unk> <unk> oh i'm okay with that uh people like try and force it so much and i have like twenty eight and ten now and i'm like this is a math um l._a. yeah so other than alphabet and <unk> i think those are the very most common probably backfires the easiest to create then maintain mhm but then i think from there it goes down the list to <unk> which is where you have correct me if i'm wrong it's characters representing costs nuts with some modification <unk> represent about or or or die critics or whatever yeah forty i'm just not writing bells at all or yes that being the most companies for those writing systems yeah i was connected actually my first one but then i thought no i already went through my child from as they can get [laughter] well that's sort of the things that you do 'cause it very much matches with if you have a constant arnold system yeah but i don't know so it was just kind of a tight but it definitely has three now so yeah i think i never ever see a water graphic system i've seen that can but not for any kind of extended news i think the main thing is if you wanted to create a logger graphic system you almost have to copy the chinese model to get uh open ended system right and uh like you were saying <unk> earlier that often you end up seeing larger graphic system look end up looking aesthetically too much like trying [noise] i don't think i've seen on that okay well that's that i've seen that one that they're not that changes <unk> remember what it was called uh talk about it i don't know i was actually really pays for that but of course now i don't remember the fellow road uh some fancy novels that for a change we're not in europe but we're sort of modeled um muslim american culture and he had a friend create a combination slip very graphic system it looked a lot more like mayan oh i'm dying to get on line that's what i was gonna go for my [noise] again that's hard to do without looking like you're simply copied modeling and electro strict stick look like we i don't know enough to copy it outright [laughter] like will said you know there's a very characteristic looked <unk> it has much more concrete looking images that looks like to me it's definitely um style and it will be really difficult i think that's a problem with like their little graph whatever that is that there aren't that many samples and the ones that they are very um easy to recognize that their style so hard not to copy them exactly although this reminds me of one of my pet peeves about some writing systems mean mentioned writing systems [noise] part of the look especially of ah inc written <unk> is a result of the how they cut to reach the technology of production um imposes the look [noise] and uh writing system that looks like it was written with a pen that breaks laws physics does make me cranky like your <unk> other sort of things it's like <unk> what <unk> writing intimate produced is that <unk> that's actually something i wanted to say is absolutely important before you look into your writing system of course you also have to look at the history of your language and the structure of your language and what writing systems fit with that but also look into the writing technology that your culture uses think of what technology they were using when they were developing the strip i so agree like how many times have i seen it and i've gone well this is nice <unk> what are they writing like what are they waiting like it's going to make a difference in how the dogs and yeah something that's chiseled in stone will looks like something different <unk> looks different then something with the written whether style us or something written with a brush and really the only thing you can do to make that understandable is just look at different languages and then research what technology they use you know say that you choose what you want and then play around or they go get a brash and you'll see the difference <unk> because she had chicken it makes it a flash i'd definitely not going to be the same that you make with you know penn well then you're <unk> going to give me the most freedom of movement i brush not so much and then <unk> yeah [laughter] i would hate to have to cook something yeah i don't think carving is ever going to be any ones first moved out of writing right either it's been a <unk> on the surface or um in sizing into mush yeah like sticking the fan but i feel if you're going to do your script you should write it five billion times over and over and over again because that's what's gonna happen imaginary person is going after i guess over and over and over again so <unk> it's like a reasonable thing to do and when you get you one hundred flying in your hands tired all the things in the same yeah you can also like about different styles for different media and such that's how in greek and let the magic school wouldn't minuscule distinction fiction or upper case lower case developed is the magic you'll er upper case letters were generally carpet the stone and then the minuscule letters words develop for writing into books or some other paper or <unk> well minuscule is what happens when magic who was written with ink on the pirates for a few hundred years right the the rich the oldest of books we have are still written fully <unk> yeah [laughter] really magic school and english yeah yeah for real technical term for it probably to prevent you from confusing from linguistic case or something i've only heard any spanish and i would say it's not really i thought well <unk> yeah it's so <unk> talked about the the poor crimes and that just in thinking about what to say for this episode um anyone who's read neil gaming or paid attention to these interviews [noise] and it was a he takes uh a funky approach to this the fantasy genre right when you write your fantasy could either put people in a completely different universe or you can put them it's a completely different time but new game and it's weird idea is that the stories <unk> have an actual reality that's going on all around us we don't notice it and that made me think about all of these people's created by language and ventures with your like your social histories their spiritual histories their complex languages and i think of it all these wonderful people tortured by dyslexia because the creator gave them a rating system where every character looks like every other character oh and it makes me sad it makes me feel safer crying [laughter] i'm gonna stay little harris tea here tokens elvis we're probably the first victims of this i was about to mention that because yeah he has that future will script but things are so many letters or distinguish only by rotating the letter [laughter] so if any of his elves have dyslexia there they have serious problems i'm guessing they all do [laughter] they'll never admit to it though so of course with it forever <unk> i was going to say something about <unk> because they kind of annoying me 'cause i guess it's how i am but every once in a while i guess he did one like i just wanted to talk about one of the ones that was one of the threat i posted and i think [noise] finding the thing i believe okay let me find something that i thought there was one of the really nice one if they won the <unk> the year i i think <unk> which is a <unk> a script i assume the kind of looks like it they didn't explain to say well and it looks nice but i'm not sure i'd have a happy time reading yeah yeah i i think there are a small number of natural scripts that approximate fee true like uh the writing system use for um park yeah right they started they started with an ab jet and then <unk> <unk> so it's kind of a silly barry kind of an <unk> yeah uh <unk> i think yeah yeah yeah the <unk> can be to be uh <unk> yeah but i feel that probably when it's taught to korean children it's not really it's just memorized like an alphabet would be actually i wonder how they did teach [laughter] i would not um i just if it were taught civil very wise oh it could be that because of the civil wars and that's an interesting question i just heard that because of some historical oddities there are some spelling you just have to memorize well that happens has everything like crash oh yeah [laughter] [laughter] yeah so anyway i thought the one um i think it's called <unk> iraq um script that looked really nice and that is <unk> not looking too much like a <unk> threat but like the difference between when i believe that they checked of confidence in the regular tennis man <unk> standing minimal that would be a pain but i still like it and the other thing i like to mention like with constantly do still have to get a balancing act of what looks nice oh at work and like how much you want to convey so you have to do that kind of balance aesthetically gets you i kinda find it hard to really express ecstatic 'cause there's so many different styles but you could go to and do well or or like you asking a woman what she like you know this question cannot answer [laughter] it is like my great shame that i've at a formal level like a college i've studied chinese i've studied arabic i even took a semester of ancient egyptians and my handwriting is terrible and all of them have which is great sadness for me um chinese takes a lot of practice i know that from experience yeah oh yeah i've always been fairly decent at writing that chaney yeah 'cause if you pay you know how to do it and to write a letter [laughter] unless of course she left candy education kind of it's good yeah oh yeah this is that's why chinese children almost always are taught to right with the right hand i wonder if uh you know if you do what they left and then you're either going to do the order backward or you're going to mess it all that well that's hard too well not much and <unk> yeah it's not impossible i've seen <unk> i try and i didn't say it's impossible it's just a little more annoying but in terms of <unk> i'm spoiled by that right i have writing systems were one of the things that attracted to me the language and the first place so i have hanging in my wall examples of chinese and arabic click griffey so both of those writing systems managed to <unk> it has written by masters manage to have both a dining as him there there's a <unk> a tree while still somehow managed to look balanced and a lot of invented writing systems look top heavier sideways heavier it can it can be pretty <unk> i think there is a tendency <unk> as creative twenty makes sense and that for like want to put all of the things on the top and all the other things on the bottom but at some point you have to go this isn't working right for whatever reason and you have to go off <unk> i don't care if it's constant and needs to go down here or whatever you're if you're going for the naturalistic field try not to be to regular because all written language is have some weird peculiar already in there <unk> like chinese actually has several different systems for constructing characters and one of them is genetically base there's that element of the characters that gives you a hit as the to the pronunciation yeah um is most of those characters are two or three thousand years old the fanciest <unk> [laughter] yeah well usually the characters will approximately crime yes yeah well i'm never gonna complain about another writing 'cause i have to live with stupid [laughter] so no i still complain about other things but my telling me about um english is still fairly regular for all it's weird news it's not as good as spanish but it's still all right i mean do you spanish is about well i'm not gonna say it's as good as again 'cause they're stuffing funky things going on but yeah especially if you're dealing with different spanish dialect i remember i was teaching kids and now like bilingual <unk> they could read two or three grade level for head in spanish and english they were like two years behind and now i just flew in any trial i mean like just like i know that hey it's you have to like memorize all sorts of <unk> to get through it and then the spanish can actually for a long time these standard course of study in french schools started kids wouldn't latin not with french but at least the spelling match [laughter] because first spelling is a little scary to <unk> we say screw it up the problem with all of these is that they're all burdened with history i think about the poor greeks seven separate ways of writing a viable which were different in ancient greek are all pronounce the same in modern greek uh-huh had a roommate who complained about that sure right so we're like she she which means spirit or sole sounded okay ancient greek but now i mean you have to memorize all of these words it's this animal logical spelling that we get settled with so the the the secrets to producing a transparent easy rating system is to make your people discover literacy late [noise] yes i'm <unk> have some uh <unk> or have you have to think about it this way i think there's a couple of factors that uh most multiplied the weirdness factor in your or soccer big one is the depths of history so like in the case of chinese if you have a four thousand year old writing system it's gonna get pretty disconnected after a while and then the second thing is if it's say foreign writing system so so many languages that use latin borrowed it from somebody else there's a lot of language is used chinese characters i borrowed it from try d.s that lost they have multiple different pronunciations for characters and such that multiplies weirdness a little bit too that's true like you were saying that they have one first language that you had to fill a bank but it with borrowed from someone else with supposedly match the language that'll better so then they have to think that their own thing yeah i i have to deal with this i've been trying to learn and classical <unk> language i stick empire so imagine uh utah as a second language as written by spanish monks from the fifteen hundreds [laughter] [laughter] that's the thing that gets me like when i used to try and read grand last night and i liked in the library and sometimes something come along and then like all of the grammar i forgot for like um central american and south american language they're always in spanish and like all the spelling for like catch catch right wouldn't that normally pretty serious <unk> car okay but because it's picking on spanish speaking area that kind of study they end up getting very spanish drinking coffee well that that makes me think of some of the bizarre spellings you find just for names of native american tribes [laughter] in the u. s. some of the um internal term some term some of them <unk> arnold term but so many of them have these weird spellings and probably the original pronunciation on half of 'em has been lost yeah oh yeah if if you come to discover a new language this might you know if you wanted to come up with a really really difficult <unk> imagine the scenario where you discover a new confident and you have never heard sounds like you know voice lateral you've never heard addictive confidence before [laughter] how on earth are you going to represent that these days tribes typically foreign committees and they come up with practical writing systems that are that they do a good job but [noise] but back in the day yeah yeah yeah before we had really modern linguistic theories and understood that it was a little ridiculous too for spanish valid rules of latin alphabet onto completely unrelated languages oh all right but but but for again for for people who go in for the domestic world construction and they're <unk> they're going to invent writing system there might be some interesting possibilities of torturing your fans having having <unk> having a mismatched yes we're all out it's just poor <unk> people who would love love to learn our language like salads noise interesting like if you're nice to be attacked us <unk> right and the story they all left a happy life where they read and not dyslexic plead disturbing but [laughter] of course i'm sitting here complaining about all of these features of <unk> which is <unk> because my handwriting is so terrible and i have no designed since i've only really invented one scripted my life and it's not one i'm ever ever going to waive around in public i think i think i think i i think it's almost harder to do a good invented script than it is to do a good invented language it depends 'cause sometimes you do need that little bit of like that kind of which you know that any <unk> any need to bake it somehow i i think some of these scripts looked like a good starting point but like you said someone needs to ride it out a thousand times so the weirdness is can be shaved off and turned into a well used effective or soccer iffy that's absolutely something that's sounds even more tedious than just regular con liking to it does but the effects will be good i think um one thing i want to bring up before we move on from this topic is does your con lying really actually need it's own native script i don't like it always does because if you are not building a world around it of course you can just uh use a real motivation system that you <unk> if you can build a good one and then also say if you have a language that is in universe unwritten i believed before we were recording william you were talking about somebody had devise a writing system we're not me right i'm pretty sure in in universe not me but not me never developed <unk> no no no no you're right there they they have no rating system except for sort of in the story sense <unk> latin inflation produced by you know anthropologists presumably and there have been several attempts to create a not be writing systems i think his was was pretty darn good pretty attractive oh one guy produced attend warm mode [noise] no yeah right so there's a <unk> for <unk> well so so if you need a jacket confidence you can look up his work um eldest with <unk> and makes me sad why i thought well if you're going to go for it well i mean i'm all <unk> and be notorious look at yeah tiger is very pretty it's not very practical [laughter] yeah like i said if you're happy to have a pretty practical that same choice they're wonderful <unk> pretty hard to get well somehow the arabs manager right there's a simple straightforward handwriting uh and then you've got the the the the <unk> which is usually what's printed but then you have completely crazy things like do alley which was only produced by you know the salt in in turkey incredibly complicated design beautiful and electrical [laughter] oh that's like my own writing i think my handwriting is pretty cool a thing but i want to pay flexible [laughter] that kinda thing a lot of chinese calligraphy <unk> particularly the <unk> the <unk> yeah you don't pick up the brush yup the hire more artistic now that i lost the weight loss but i'm sure you can't read it <unk> <unk> is not so much but you don't pick up the brush but also you have to write it fast yeah if you don't the the <unk> the equal blocks the page because uh that's that's actually true of any character writing on rice paper evil and not right at least <unk> and writing a certain speed that's a nice thing with the ankle so if i was like a pencil you don't get so much the momentum but we're thank you do get like a passion [noise] anyway [laughter] my uh my secret hint into making your think handwritten script look better is don't use black ink by using you know a <unk> a nice a nice you know read brown blue or a craze is a better approach smooths out but <unk> that's interesting [laughter] there are actual writing systems in the world that used color although <unk> be something that you would only use it but if people develop writing at a later stage of technology because at one point in history people probably couldn't afford that much different colors a bank actually though in front of the funny thing for a picture of my uh my <unk> people people people riding was actually supposed to be in a bunch of different colored inks not where the <unk> anything because it was for any kind of sub tropical and i imagine having access to a bunch of guys have a bunch of college so it's pretty nice up there had good it could be something good for showing super said signals what town yeah i think they're being champaign couldn't you'd have to switch brushes [noise] gee a handwritten version of the corner on you might see multiple inks for certain kinds of extra that that that's for something special i'm not going to rain like my laundry laundry sharing a hell of a laundry either something politician <unk> fight whenever um grocery list and i think we're ready to move on to say why don't we move onto our future <unk> which is the native name or something like uh <unk> but you can also say <unk> it's a fictional language spoken on an island located in the east trying to see your okinawa uh it has elements of japanese and korean but it's a decision as a language islip it's rating system sort of tangentially interesting for our topic here but he actually use a stock real writing system he uses a combination of korean fungal and chinese characters and i actually have an audio simple or i'll play hold on a second i gotta switch things around so you guys can you hear that <unk> doesn't have time to go i'm going to take them both thing editing yes editing sorrow <unk> audacity what i should have been looking in sky for some reason [laughter] why <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> not not only uh <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> <unk> yeah <unk> yeah and <unk> <unk> <unk> yeah yep yes okay no i was just doing that because the static was building game sometimes when i talk it goes away yeah it sounded like those kind of a one hour <unk> yeah that tell us when we're starting again you before that but anyway about the language you could hear it kinda has its own sound to it but it has some it's sounds somewhat a little bit like creating a japanese but i think they probably the the high front rounded velvet you sound i think it gives it a little bit of <unk> well that exist and japanese um yeah i i thought it sounded a little bit more like korean i don't know um the native language of the inventor of language she might just be speaking with his accent yeah and that's one thing i wanted to point out is most con lakers are of european descent and as a result a lot of uh same raised by a lot of people tend to be very much inspired by european languages particularly in the european and this guy from his picture and his name i'm mad i i'm presuming that this guy his name is desmond li is either korean or chinese descent prone to design of his language probably korea [laughter] that would make sense like he went with like kind of <unk> most of the time like any latin and you know why am i going to buy anything that's less common people to read but it actually seems like it's terrible [laughter] the language i don't know enough about it the same for sure but it looks like an uh yeah uh thinking about it the history behind them using um you probably wouldn't make some sense because i know at least in recent times uh south korea has closed for a lot of hi lyn islanders in the in that area a lot of our rudy groups and such to use right through in languages right right i don't know if that's actually the history that he was born [laughter] we'll see like an extension has to <unk> yeah and <unk> whatever um well this is for me was the great thing if you if you start with the assumption that there's an island somewhere where you have it it's off the coast of china um but it has the cultural influence of both china in korea just makes perfect sense um i'm i'm i quite enjoyed this combination of pulling out these chinese characters <unk> mixing them with <unk> i i think it's it's a nice <unk> and i especially love again because you know classical chinese was sort of latin of that part of asia to have a mix of native vocabulary with you know chinese derived forums all of that is is very historically accurate normally i don't go for these sort of alternate history languages but i think this is a really good example of it the amber surprise me one or two places but yeah he is very good about the history i get the idea that he knows the history of the area very well shit oh by the fact that he pulled from the middle chinese forms of the words which is what was borrowed into korean and japanese and that's what i understand correctly well for japanese multiple periods where borrowed which makes it all the more exciting [laughter] well yeah [laughter] yeah no i was going to really like you said <unk> but you know it looks like he did the history right and he has a nicer thing but i feel like <unk> <unk> rather than another like your bed around lang because it does have that asian flavor to more than a favorite nation base yeah would we be as interested in his language if this guy had actually been and english speaker who created a germanic language no it it fluids from latin and french my answer or i mean it's nice to see them yeah it it is very i like the when i when i hear him talking i when i hear the audio sample it hasn't i sound to it i like just a note for people who send in our <unk> like they're calling legs too oh this sounds samples will work in your favor it went up deciding what [laughter] yeah i don't care if he's never said before just make something up for a number they happy i don't i don't like having to stumble through oh but we enjoy it [noise] one one thing that surprises me about rung you is the <unk> the first few very english she yeah they really do 'cause i've been to link to it now it's like this is almost exactly like english and i don't know that's just 'cause i didn't see any proper like um i didn't see any glasses if too but um oh yeah it's like <unk> for a bank away <unk> pragmatically it might be different from english but just looking at the distinction he make it look like english yeah the <unk> right past president future progressive perfect that's that's sort of strange math yeah i think the only thing that differentiate that and uh get his grammar stuff that he's written up is very sketchy so there may be different usage is but the only thing that i see distinguishing it is that he has dedicated negative forum <unk> still all the taxes that you would expect to find it english accent it has future it has a dedicated future that's all well i mean they attach informed differently but i'm just wondering if the way it with the meaning the same right how are they use yeah we'd have to we'd have to find examples and unfortunately he hasn't gotten around putting too many examples i mean years all of these different um mood <unk> uh <unk> they'd come before the potential aspect stuff which is not at all english like yeah but the the the the the tenth an aspect stuff is surprisingly [noise] it's very surprising to me yeah maybe it's just 'cause of english but and if someone came into it that it is my language and the past and then we use and now they're <unk> they like no [laughter] um okay i think we can move on i have a new we have a news segment yeah i'm excited about the <unk> ah i've built up enough uh comments and emails that i want to actually call out some of these are kind of old but i just want to get out there if you email to <unk> uh <unk> dot com we we'll review on on the air and then our first uh this is actually a comment i got on the site i recently <unk> put a google voice number on the site for you to leave voice mails that number by the way is three oh four eight seven three six to eight one it's a it's a u._s. number so sorry about that but uh this guy said that's why i <unk> voice is not available in your country this is hit voting on air message thanks for visiting <unk> we're not yet open for customers outside the u. s. but we're planning to expand our <unk> additional countries in the future and then he says his country this is carson be commenting on the site he's from germany and he said if you wanna call colors might want to offer <unk> i think what he actually did i just want to clear this up i think what he actually did was like on the little <unk> thing we have which i may move because it might be a little just confusing if he actually called the number it might go through but then again calling the u. s. from germany you might want to use sky for something because it would be cheaper indeed well you know record something <unk> boy that anyway <unk> no we got an email from chris in england and i think from his sick he says he's seventeen but hey all ages are welcome here [laughter] yeah he says hey guys i was wondering if how you guys go about creating vocabulary and you're on line is it just a case of throwing together pretty are interesting phonemes or do you take a more systematic kind of like chinese or japanese where the vines characters were simpler meaning to create new for terribly with more specific eating and then he gives examples chinese japanese says i'm personally porn creating words that sounds nice but that i've kind of fucked superficially out of nowhere and we're that maybe don't sound as nice but have uh more meaning like he's he suggested but i i and the other day yeah deal with that one other time but i want to say i personally do some of both i like i build build up a certain number of roof and then i will build instead of the language derivation old morphology and compound <unk> before to put words together i think that's probably the best way to go about it 'cause a lot of natural language have a good mix so compounds and analyze room roots what'd you do you usually bianca um well actually i'm thinking <unk> i try not to meet too many compounds because it is and including <unk> language so if i put compound and things they in fact i'm kathleen together i feel that gets a little <unk> <unk> but there are some content say certain things kind of ridiculous to not have any way to combine meaning um what i actually did when i was going through making vocabulary actually trying yeah like i'm on a <unk> and like sometimes they don't make sense sometimes it wrong but like i think my favorite would i ever meet with like the word for heart and i believe with um a branch okay say sounds like the hype eating but it's not gonna hit you right away so it also depends on the kind of language but my other one sometimes we'll try and can bring things but i kind of just like having <unk> um i did have mine derivation my second language too it's not <unk> there's more of the way then i think but you know it depends on the kind of lame like if you have a language stacks morphine african morphine after mine and you don't want to have like the actual korean it be ugly heck yeah i think it depends a lot on the structure of a more isolating language will have more calm pounding and like you say i have no looting mating language might actually have more on analyze roots because you also have to obtain ethics is on it [noise] william what do you usually do it in terms of making new for cat depends entirely um the language [laughter] yeah i mean there's just so many ways to do this i rarely made isolating languages but for those you have to go with a completely different approach and for those i do take something like chinese your vietnamese or [noise] maybe <unk> or something like that is the model olive which form a lot of new vocabulary by slamming together smaller words i tend to go for polly synthetic languages um just because i've been reading too much about native american languages in the last few years so i produced these monsters words made up of smaller elements um i'm not quite as of first too compounds bianca is in that circumstance but then i avoid stringing huge piles of of more fumes off the end [noise] there's just so many ways to do it one of my favorite things to recommend is if you can find a grammar any eskimo language you will learn about derivation of possibilities you'd ever <unk> never considered miserable yeah school we could do a whole episode on those in fact i think we should just
