Backwards Happy Birthday (!Yadhtrib Yppah) – How We Made it!

Image
Yadhtrib Yppah is a project Papa and I (Magnolia) did to practice our IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) knowledge for my homeschool linguistics class, and to make a fun video for friends' and family's birthdays. (If you haven’t figured it out yet, “Yadhtrib Yppah” is Happy Birthday backwards.) Below is an explanation of how we made the video.  1a. Transcribe the lyrics to Happy Birthday  into IPA ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ diɹ ___(name)___ ˈhaˌpi ˈbəɹθˌdeɪ tu yu 1b. Reverse it uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah  __(backwards name)__ ɹid ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah  uy ut ˌɪedˈθɹəb ˌipˈah 2. Write sheet music for Happy Birthday  & Reverse it 3. Practice saying the lyrics of Happy Birthday  backwards As said:  https://youtu.be/NKJwkW5sBRY Reversed:  https://youtu.be/I28VM95T7ZY 4. Practice playing the music of  Happy Birthday backwards on the piano As played:  https://youtu.be/pCA_VajRgJY Revers...

Switching Platforms

 I recently found a great website for conlanging:  conworkshop.com . It’s part tool, part community, free, and built by conlangers. It has oodles of great tools and systems for documenting languages, so from now on, I’ll be switching over from Blogger/Google Sheets to Conworkshop for documenting Bullywug. If you’re interested in learning more about Bullywug as it grows, check out my username bwug or the language code BWG on Conworkshop . Here are some of the cool features I’ve explored so far: - A December challenge to create and share a word (or 10) a day. - A dictionary that shows the conscript and is easy to edit and sort. Here's my entry for the Bullywug word for water. The Bullywug script is just to the right of the romanization 'bo.' - A set of sentences to help you develop and test your language's grammar.  - A chart that shows the frequency of all phonemes/letters.

11-19-2021 – Finishing Diacritics & Beginning Phonology of Your Conlang

To be up to date, make sure you have posted/published your phonologies for Mandarin, Koine Greek, and Spanish (indicate the sounds you missed, maybe with a different font color). Also post your answers to the related questions. Also, please take a stab at vowel charts for your three languages and compare them to an online source, to each other, and to English). We'll hopefully record our yppaH yadhtriB video today. ++++++++++++++ Let's finish looking at diacritics. Watch these: Part 3: Vowel diacritics Part 4: Consonant diacritics Part 5: Review / less useful diacritics (optional) ++++++++++++++ We're going to start applying our phonological learning to creating a new spoken language. Start by watching  the first ~15 minutes of  this video on creating a language in 1 hour . In it, David J. Peterson leads people through the process of choosing sounds for a language. I want you to make your own choices (rather than following what they are doing). Transcribe your sounds into ...
