ATTENTION: The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/robwords06230 The existing English alphabet is out of date. In this video, I attempt to bring it into the 21st century by stealing letters from other languages, removing unnecessary letters and even inventing an entirely new one. Let me know what you think of my new and improved alphabet. I welcome you suggestions for improvements. == Thanks to Oat Milk Studios for letting me use their lovely old factory. == Check me out online, on Twitter & TikTok: https://robwords.com http://twitter.com/robwordsYT http://tiktok.com/@robwords ==CHAPTERS== 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Þ: Bring back thorn! 3:32 Ş for SH 4:48 Ч for CH 6:06 Getting rid of Q 7:03 Inventing a letter: Part 1 8:03 Skillshare 9:24 ß for SS 10:20 Ñ for NY 11:30 Ə: Our most common sound 12:54 Ŋ for NG 13:49 Inventing a letter: Part 2 15:01 Replacing W 16:35 & 16:53 Ž for ZH 17:14 BIG MUSICAL FINISH
