Ikai Taa is | |||
Ikai Taa is a laughable attempt-turned-conlang by the now-defunct [https://inferkit.com/ Inferkit] A.I. (IKAI) to generate text from a factual prompt about the real-world language [[wikipedia:Taa_language|Taa (also known as !Xóõ)]]. I had the language generated and partially guided the process in order for the A.I. to explain some nonsensical phrases so that they could understand and complete the language themselves (which has not yet been done). | |||
While Taa itself is a dialect group, the prompt gave the A.I. no such indication. However, due to vast amounts of contradictory information in the text and the A.I. generating the language's name inconsistently, I chose to analyze the generation as describing 4 different dialects and organized the information in a document according to the dialect it pertained to. Due to this apparent splintering, the A.I. wrote very little information about the language the dialects stem from. | While Taa itself is a dialect group, the prompt gave the A.I. no such indication.

The writing system originally used to write Ikai Taa is largely undocumented, but was likely to be a logography. One character of the writing system, known as "mpipa", had a particular ability to make those who saw it say, ".h h?!". Today, Ikai Taa is more commonly written in romanization with influence from IPA, and some dialects use the [[Bonabéri Alphabet]]. | The writing system originally used to write Ikai Taa is largely undocumented, but was likely to be a logography.
