The Valthungian Alphabet (videos & playlist)

 Over the past few months, as I’ve had time, I’ve created three videos about the Valthungian Alphabet and pronunciation. The first one is short and sweet: Names of the letters and what they mean. Not even three minutes out of your day! The second and third are quite a bit more involved: The second goes into detail about each letter and its pronunciation, Romanisation, and various quirks. The third does the same for the seven “non-alphabetic long vowels,” and then goes on a deep dive into orthography and phonology.

You can watch all three in order with this playlist:
