Mitchell John Halley, known online as jan Misali (en, yon MEE-sə-lee) or HBMmaster, is an American Youtuber and video essayist. He[note 1] is most well known for his videos on linguistics, particularly the constructed language Toki Pona. He also creates music, some being his own original compositions and some being parodies, mashups, or remixes.
YouTube career[edit]
Halley's channel was originally named "HBMmaster".[citation needed] The "HBM" stands for "Happy Birthday Mario".
The username "jan Misali" comes from a translation of Halley's name into Toki Pona, [jan] error: {{lang}}: unrecognized language code: tok (help) meaning 'person' and [Misali] error: {{lang}}: unrecognized language code: tok (help) being a respelling of 'Mitch Halley' using the phonotactics of the language. The capitalization is intentional, as in Toki Pona the first word in a sentence is not capitalized by default, while proper nouns are.
Halley's first YouTube video was uploaded on June 28th, 2011.
His flagship series is Conlang Critic, in which he discusses constructed languages. Some of the conlangs he has covered are Lojban, aUI, Ithkuil, Esperanto, and— most notably— Toki Pona.
Personal life[edit]
Halley is non-binary and uses he/they pronouns, and is aromantic and asexual. He is autistic.[citation needed]
Notes[edit]
