Proposal of a New Icelandic Alphabet

[Therunner8891]

I am Swedish and is totally against the removal of any of the special characters in any Nordic language !!! Who wants a regular boring 26-Character English alphabet anyway ????

It is awesome that that you Icelanders have the ancient characters Eth (ð) and Thorn (þ) still left!! They are part of your language and culture and should so ever be!!!

[audveltadmuna]

what?

[hznfrst]

Terrible! As for English, I would add new letters and reassign others: add /\ for 'uh', thorn and edh written as t and d with an extra bar, the IPA symbol for the 'ng' sound, and c and j reassigned to 'sh' and 'zh' which would make ch=tc and j=dj.

Unmarked vowels would return to their original Latin sounds, and the 'short' versions written with an accent grave (`) and sound like bat, bet, bit, bought and book. Finally, the whole alphabet reordered to show phonetic relationships.

[pooptickler1337]

Why would you want to get rid of the Icelandic alphabet?

If anything, I think English should re-adopt the thorn. Þat would be a bit weird; however, þings could turn out well, and maybe all English people will start using þe þorn.

[IcelandicGirl1994]

that's just the english alphabet

[Aesk111]

This is one of the most pathetic things I´ve ever seen on youtube.

[ChloeXlover]

that wont happed

i mean..come on

[DragonCoasterStorm]

это плохо!!!!!!

[Phillish]

HVAÐ? GUÐ. That's like saying we should take the å out of Swedish.

[UniversalProjectCo]

My only problems are that it adds uneecessary letters that aren't needed (C, Q, Z,) and gets rid of ones that are (á, é, í, ó, ö, ú, æ, þ, ð).

[FtRapture]

They should never change their alphabet.

[ivanov83alin]

[skatelongboards]

[alli1009]

It's not the real Alphabet in Icelandic!

[hxasmirl]

so how are th sounds going to be represented and how to represent ö and ó and ú?

[hxasmirl]

whaaat? why should eth and thorn go away? they're what holds the icelandic identity..

[lskoog]

Because it's the New Icelandic Alphabet.

[denonbladedododo]

@lskoog yeah and it sucks real hard going the wrong direction to inferiour precision. not the way to go

[FogiTofu]

[magic000man000]

[ClarindaRocks98]

ooddd

[iNerdiCia]

[lskoog]

[VaNDaaLiizM]

[VaNDaaLiizM]

Oops wrong Your.

[thelittlespoiledbrat]

You'll never be as spoiled as I am.

[OblicityFaker]

where is w

[BBOOBBOO2]

my baby had already known it. don't need it

[yastepdaddy]

im not from iceland there 4 i dont give a flying farkkkk

[Mizenki17]

So... why get rid of a bunch of letters that make Icelandic really phonetic, and replace them with letters that are completely useless for the language?

[Svolitla]

icelandic doesn't have "w"... but then, icelandic doesnt have "c", "q" or "z" , so that rules any reasoning that "w" might be omitted because icelandic doesn't need it. that means the poster of this video is someone who might struggles to pass grade 1, since they don't know the alphabet. and thus shouldn't be posting.

[lskoog]

The only letter missing is w. Think global!

[JIMTEO1992]

where is w?

[XxHeartBreakerxX246]

WTH wheres W?

[theyoungster2]

26 meaning 25 is VERY unlikely

[theyoungster2]

umm maby iclanic doesn't have w... anyways there's 25 not 26

[CaptianOlimar]

but then how do you explian people saying there is ö ä å Þ Æ Ö Á É Ý Ú Í and Ó. and you spell it Icelandic. and in Icelandic,maybe 26 mean 25.

[CaptianOlimar]

You Forgot W. You Fucking Have It On Your Keyboard.

[Limpfittz]

ö ä å?

[a1b2c3d4e5f66]

Where's W?

[lskoog]

That is a devastating critique. What a blunder!

[cre8ovation]

...that preety much killed it...yup

[MKtitanic97]

YES!!! SOMEONE AGREES!! That was a waste of :38 secounds of my life!

[ElinStargirl]
