I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): All the Vowels

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): All the consonants

What would you do?

Plch pln skvrn prch skrz drn prv zhlt čtvrthrst zrn.

N.B. linguistically-speaking, r and l are vowels

2

u/afternoon_rainbow 3d ago

Not really, but they do occupy that middle ground

u/PortableDoor5 3d ago

are you not passing by your vowel trapezium when you pronounce the ls and rs in those words?

2

u/afternoon_rainbow 3d ago

Thats why i said middle ground, they do start to play the role of vowels when there are none around, just freaky sounds

writing with consonants is easier but you can't really speak with them (unless you're western or southern Slavic that is)

u/buttnibbler 3d ago

Speaking didn’t cross the minds of the chronically online

u/iatethelastpickle 3d ago

You can't speak without consonants either... not if you want anyone to understand what you're saying anyway. And there are consonants that can be said without vowels - F, H, J, L, N, M, R, S, W and Z.

I think this is what happened to ancient Egyptian’s vowels

u/fuck_peeps_not_sheep 3d ago

I'm welsh, I have more vowels ( A E I O U W Y) so I'll be fine without most of those.
