Bigfoot alphabet...

Reminds me of the people who think they hear things on records when played backwards. Slow down any animal roar enough, and you can fool yourself into thinking it's saying words.
 
A bunch of good old boys playing tricks on each other at their hunting camp. Sort of like those roadbuilders at Bluff Creek in 1958.
 
seriously, you just can't make this **** up...


oh, wait.......

I was in touch with linguist Karen Stollznow a few months ago about the 'Crypto-Linguist' Scott Nelson and his bigfoot phonetic alphabet, and she indicated that the topic is on the agenda for an upcoming episode of Monster Talk.

I remain unconvinced that he has the ability to decipher a language he is not familiar with. (Unless, of course, the squatches were conversing in Russian, Persian, or Spanish.)

Reminiscent of a Creationist Institute pamphlet I once read claiming the ancient Chinese were Christian as proved by the Christian symbol in their script. Horizontal line over a vertical line = "man?" Well obviously that indicated the ancient Chinese acknowledgement of God's hand over man from the heavens, etc...

You can see/hear anything if you just believe hard enough.

I think he's forgetting that Klingonese exists as a real language (no one really speaks it, but I digress), however the Klingon race doesn't exist. The same thing could be said about the languages/peoples of middle-earth, Star Wars, etc, etc.

I absolutely love this.
From the article linked in the OP:
The existence of the Sasquatch Being is hereby assumed, since any creature must exist before his language

You know it might be important to identify the source of said "sounds" at some point before assuming. Also, they are basing an entire language off of the "sierra sounds" recordings? Alrighty then. I remember a while back hearing about those recordings and the circumstances they were made. I believe I read someplace that those descriptions came from the dvd (or cd?) they were offered with for sale. Anyone have access to those or can post the circumstances with accuracy or link to it?

Basically, they placed a mic away from their tent and did not observe what it was making the sounds they allegedly recorded in said fashion. To me, I hear someone playing with a tape machine and probably laughing their asses off about it later. Ridiculous recordings IMHO much less basing a language on them? I want some of what he's smokin......

Not.

Oh, those groups exist - for certain values of "exist".

They exist in our imagination
They exist in our pop culture
They exist just as much as Bigfoot does.
 
Reading the thread heading, I was at first expecting one of those humorous poems, first verse beginning "A is for...", and comprising twenty-six verses. Have been prompted to make up one such (don't intend to inflict it on the forum -- it's far too silly).
 
Strictly speaking, an alphabet has no function without a written language ie this is putting at least two carts before the horse. One can suggest that a the recorded sounds are similar to those of human speech, but that "reach" is as far as one could go. To suggest that it is a Bigfoot alphabet is simply bunk. It is much more reasonable to assume they were made by humans.
