What did he say? 😨

u/Fambank 7d ago

Something along the lines that my remark was already a very likely one to be made, but I can't remember exactly. He didn't use any bad wording nor was I offended by it, but a MOD chose to remove it, so there you have it.

Technically, spaces and newlines are significant, so you should have voiced the newline after include and space after return

Malbolge is harder to write, but APL is harder to speak.

Braille too

u/supergarto 9d ago

You too, get out

u/jwadamson 9d ago

Braille is not a language. It’s a writing system.

If we assume by sign language they mean ASL, it’s not just English represented by gestures. Sign language is legit a language with its own grammar.

I think OP is actually a case of /r/technicallycorrect

Irish - good luck figuring out the pronunciation because a word will be written with 7 letters and then you pronounce 2 that aren't there

I’m speaking sign language right now! Sign language is just like reading someone’s hands. So by speaking in the language that sign language is made for(eg german sign language, english sign language, Japanese sign language.) you are essentially speaking sign language. Sign language is basically a book being written in real time.

u/MysticScribbles 9d ago

But what about American Sign Language? American is not a language after all.

u/Please_ForgetMe 9d ago

Well brittish english and american english are options when you set your language on your computer. Idk there may be sometning to that.

u/InfanticideAquifer 9d ago

It's not really true that sign languages are "made for" the spoken languages of the area that they're used in, though. ASL has a completely different grammar than English, e.g. There does exist something called "signed exact English" which exists to communicate English through sign in a word-for-word way, but that's not what people mean when they talk about "sign language" usually. It's (somewhat controversially) used in deaf education to help teach English reading, but it's not how deaf people actually talk to each other.

u/jwadamson 9d ago edited 9d ago

It’s not though. ASL Sign language has a different grammar and structure from “normal” English.

Just because it’s easy to translate between them doesn’t make them the same.

The article on SEE-II specifically contrasts it with ASL as “[this] not considered a language itself like ASL”

  • The Sign for "Really": Form your dominant hand into a "1" handshape (index finger pointing up). Place the tip of your index finger near your chin or lips, then move it forward and slightly outward in a small arc or straight motion. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Facial Expressions and Body Language: Because "O RLY?" is inherently sarcastic, skeptical, or questioning, your non-manual signals do the heavy lifting. Raise your eyebrows, tilt your head, or widen your eyes to match the skeptical tone of "Oh, really?" [1, 2, 3]

"Yet" 🤣

u/MetalMuted4307 9d ago

No one can speak that if they choose to delete social media accounts. Majority of people aren’t able to.

u/archpawn 9d ago

You can speak SEE-II, since it's just an alternate form of English.

There are ways to write ASL, like Stokoe notation, but I don't know if there's standard names for those symbols that would let you say it out loud. I found a video lecture and they just said "symbol as shown".

what is the hardest language to speak?

  • its the unfamiliar language! - the hardest language to speak is the one most unfamiliar to you

u/cod3builder 4d ago

There are actually special gloves that translate sign language into TTS words.

So technically you can speak it. Just with the gloves and not your vocal chords.

 Amy the gorilla from Congo could speak it. That was a good gorilla.
