Conlang Critic: Iqglic

a review of Iqglic, a language with a name that's pronounced like "English", created by Jack Eisenmann (the creator of the previously featured conlangs Vötgil and Zese). this will be the last of Jack Eisenmann's languages that I will review.

[tanzanite]

The most on-brand way to distinguish between Iqlic and English is to not distinguish between them at all while still pretending that you're being perfectly clear.

To those of you asking:

It’s an Eisenmanlang. Of course it’s a haloween episode.

[Frahamen]

Hey, at least Eisenman finished full conlangs, that's more than I can say.

Last night I had a nightmare:
I was dreaming about having an exam at school. Our teacher would say to us "I thought, this time we make it a bit special and brought you something" She's holding a yellow book, bout 50 pages, with the title "Basic Grammar and Vocabulary of Zese". "You'll write your exam in Zese, using its script."
So I had 150 Minutes to write a 600 Word Essay in a language I don't know. While struggling to understand Zese I woke up bathing in sweat with my heart racing.

I give this a 10/10 for spelling earth as rx

Mom, can we speak English?
Mom: But we already have Iqglic at home.
Iqglic at home:

Terminology proposal: A "xiqlang" (pronounced "thinglang") is a conlang whose orthography insists on using all 26 letters of the English alphabet regardless of how little sense it makes.

[Minnakht]

Whenever I hear "Vötgil" I spell it "Vodkil" in my mind and it brings the image of a vodka-fueled creation.

that's what I want to share

[Netizpossible]

This language sounds like english, but if it had a concussion, drank too much, and had a heavy Irish/ Canadian accent, all at the same time.

[yojotpi]

This is a sample from the tower of Babbel..
*confused Irish accent*

[recurse]

You know what, you have to respect what a good sport Jack Eisenmann is! He keeps talking to you, even though he must have actually watched the other two videos. Love this episode, though, I love it when you don't hold back.

[stagelights_]

"english (1550-present)" had me laughing my ass off

[julioargudo]

"That in mind, english is complete garbage"

Yeah obviously but what is your opinion on iqglic

[diggoran]

Thumbnail tells me this is the PlayStation Controller language. Don't need to watch the video any more.

[PlatinumAltaria]

Like all spelling reforms, you want to avoid saying "gif is pronounced jif". So excuse me when I say that it's Ick-glick, not Inglish.

[NameName-lvik]

Call this a Halloween episode, because that "q" is terrifying.

[garret]

"Plyz kum" oh my gods I'm crying this is hilarious.

[thewrongsorcerer]

As somone who's partially colorblind, I physically shuddered when I saw that writing system

[ruwisc_]

Loving the reboot of Jack Eisenmann as a more sympathetic character. Iqglic isn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be

[Zizumia]

Honestly, I hope Jack Eisenmann learns from the mistakes of his old conlangs and ends up making a really good one.
I can see he really likes making conlangs and I wish the best for him.
