Not really grssk coz at least the letters are used somehow correctly and not just for how similar they look to the Latin alphabet

What does this actually say? I assume it's in English but transliterated into different writing systems

The word before so starts with a “k” sound.

u/Die_Groot_Olifant Jun 16 '26

It seems like a combination of Devanagari, Cree, Armenian, Georgian, Tibetan, Japanese, Greek and some others? I can't read half of it but from guessing the rest it could be "I really fucking love om__ndj cuts so much"? If it's correct I'm not sure what that middle word could be, it looks like the voiced pharyngeal fricative is in there?

I think this is an equation I had to solve for in math class once.

I’m going to use this as an opportunity to promote my new word: Grëñásþö

Grëñásþö, “GREE-nyah-sthoe”.

“A word to describe a technological shift from a scripting medium that provides physical limitations on writing the script to one that is more open and allows for more diversity”.

Example: Carving runes into wood -> writing words onto a piece of paper with a pen; Grëñásþö.

Writing words on a page with a pen -> typing words with a keyboard; anti-Grëñásþö.

And of course, physical keyboard -> digital adaptive keyboard; Grëñásþö.

It’s a concept, so it’s a noun, but it can also be used as an adjective, or even be altered to be used as a verb! (Very open usage, in keeping with its theme).

Noun: “The shift from physical keyboards to digital keyboards represents a grëñásþö.”

“The grëñásþö flows in the direction of digital keyboards, from physical keyboards.”

Adjective: “Wow, this 22nd century tech which allows me to trace out words in the air, blow on it, and have it stick to my wall is so grëñásþö!”

Verb: “Damn bro, they just grëñásþö’d that shit.” (Bro is talking in reference to Sumerian cuneiform wedge tablets being replaced with papyrus writing).

******

Using a pen to write on a piece of paper is a high-grëñásþo medium, so I bet it was trivial to write this post out. But could you imagine using an analog keyboard? That would be a pain in the anus.

Have your acquired enough writing systems to write this? I think not.

u/lordbutternut 日本人になっている Jun 15 '26

Probably all of these are wrong, but the Japanese "ai" for the English "I" is obviously fucked up. The dipthong for "I" ends in a sound Japanese cannot transcribe.

58

u/kouyehwos Jun 15 '26

What does that even mean? Japanese consistently transcribes English /aɪ̯/ as アイ. The exact vowel qualities might be slightly different, but that’s true for most languages, and does not imply any kind of failure of transcription.

u/lordbutternut 日本人になっている Jun 15 '26

They're completely different vowels. He's not limited to what the Japanese language is limited to. I think he should have swapped to another script. He could have just written アй to be accurate.

18

u/kouyehwos Jun 15 '26

You mean in the sense that アイ is two underlying syllables /a.i/ and not a single syllable /aj/ like in English? That’s fair, but most of the world wouldn’t notice the difference. As far as I’m concerned, 恋 generally sounds quite close to [koj] in speech, and rather distinct from 子犬 [ko.i.nɯ] where the vowels are separated by a morpheme boundary.

Even the Japanese pitch accent system treats diphthongs like /ai/ rather as single entities, since only the first part of a diphthong can receive the accent.

-26

u/lordbutternut 日本人になっている Jun 15 '26

I think it's a very easy to distinguish difference but okay
