  Almost sounds like a speech recording played backwards. Actually playing this sample backwards indeed makes little difference to me.

  I fucking love ithkuil, in the same way I love marble machines and Rube Goldberg devices. Like as a concept, in practice, how it sounds actually spoken, the writing system. Every thing about it is just so extra. It has its goals and design criteria, and it just goes full send on them, fuck everything else, like ease of pronunciation, and I respect that.

  It's the audio equivalent to a Java programmer reading APL for the first time.

  To me it sounds like a Samoyedic Lithuanian dialect of Guarani, with classical Arabian inflections.

    That’s why a perfectly understandable Ithkuil course is right over there, a couple hexagons away

      Hopefully it stays at least a France away.
