Why it works
The first 3 seconds turn an unfamiliar spoken phrase into a four-line translation puzzle, and 0:24–0:45 makes the language's name a visible sound lesson. The opening then changes proof formats: reactions at 1:02–1:17, data maps around 1:47–2:03, a letter chart at 2:58, and a familiar audio comparison after 4:09. The map sequence overlaps a 1:48.6–2:04.1 replay peak in the measured six-minute sample.
