Of course, this exercise would be harder to pull off using a language with very few letters, or commonly use a few letters. Hawaiian would be a great example

so you can read the english in jumbled up text as in the youtube example, if so you've answer my question it doesn't have to be your native/mother language that the principle works in
but again you've got my brain think your way if it was jumbled text in more than one language as long as the reader had knowledge of set languages
and also if the alphabet was shorter hawaiian 18 would the same principle apply,interesting
