    Can't wait until the day when jan Misali makes a Conlang Critic episode of Dyrgidyk... And I must say the name Dyrgidyk is fun to say.
  • As a finn, i see how this can be absolute hell for indoeuropeans. Arabic turkish hungarian finnish. Sounds natural, the best I can say.

    Having spent well over a year crafting my own conlang whilst diving into the deepest crevices of the internet to watch people drive themselves insane making languages and delving into the catastrophic rabbit hole that is linguistics, this singular conlang has stood out the most. I mean - I've had my fair share of conlangs with extreme morphology after watching Biblaridion's nightmare that is Ilothwii, but Dyrgidyk honestly feels more aesthetically pleasing and despite the absolutely ridiculous words like "sogzoloktaajmarkiğuumdanrumur" simply existing now in the deep catacombs of my brain, I love this conlang. Good work dude, keep it up!!
  • I think this is the best conlang showcase that I’ve seen so far! Very clear presentation, very good pacing if you ask me, and also quite funny at times. Loved it❤❤
  • @efeh61
    this is insanely well made. you make it not look nightmarishly complex to grasp and understand and organize!
  • Yay! This language's showcase tape has tocome! 🙌😁 Also, I laughed when I realised that the affixual cluster “-rumur” happened to sound a lot like “rumour” and “rumor”! 😅
  • @eyai
    This seems to be inspired by Turkish or another Turkic language, I can see the words such as kızıl (crimson) and demir (iron) have the same exact meaning. The language is agglutinative and the letters selected to present the sounds are exactly the same in Turkish except c and ç being swapped, I really like it!
  • @atlasnataniel

  • @steakfilly5199
    This is sick! The amount of diaeresis hurts me eyes, but still looks super cool. Great work
  • @TarkTheConlanger
    really cool conlang and video, your conlang sounds heavily inspired by Turkish
  • @keylime6
    Sounds like a mix between Turkish and Finnish
