Jesus Christ I thought Malayalam had insane grammatical rules

The idea of the North/South Aryan/Dravidian continuum is pretty shaky tbh. I feel like I really does depend on the specific region, language and even caste-specific dialect in a lot of cases. Plus a lot of people (mostly racist Northerners) use this idea to justify their lack of Dravidian heritage which is simply not true.

Yesss omg do more Dravidian languages

Don't Hungarian case endings have to be bound morphemes? Since they can't be written as prepositions, they can't really be read as prepositions. Simples.

those seem to be brazilian portuguese pronunciations, so I have to give it a thumbs down.

Fast speaker.

In getto French now, "dire" is pronounced like "jeeerre" (the j and ee how you'd say that in English)

Not occitan being ignored as always

The last sentence "Nasi koledzy oczyścili ceglane drzwi bo jest lepsze dla ich lwów". There is a mistake. Actually there are two but one is understandable. It should be "Nasi koledzy oczyścili ceglane drzwi, bo są lepsze dla ich lwów". - jest -> są: The subject of the second part ("bo są lepsze dla ich lwów") is inferred "they" ("one": "bo <one> są lepsze dla ich lwów") and is a reference to those doors. The verb is "to be" ("są"). The noun "drzwi" is plural, "one" is plural so the verb "to be" needs to be plural. There is only one plural present tense form of "to be" and it is "są". The subject and the verb has to agree with respect to number and grammatical gender. If the subject is in its nominative form (almost always) there are no exceptions. - a comma: In Polish there are very strict rules about placing a comma. In this case it is needed. The rules are base on the function and the structure but are often simplified to "what is connecting the sentences?". In case of "bo" ("because") the comma is always there. - "ich" cannot be replaced with "swoich" here, both mean "their": The whole thing is a complex sentence that is constructed from two simple sentences. The part "bo są lepsze dla ich lwów" answers the question "why did they do it?". The subject of this sentence is the door. "ich" is in a different sentence than the people who did it. "Nasi koledzy oczyścili ceglane drzwi dla swoich lwów" - "Our friends cleaned the brick door for their lions" is a single simple sentence so we use "swoich" because we are referencing the subject and "ich" would be wrong.

I'm a simple man, I hear "i've learned romanian" I subscribe

Thanks. a lot, very good. A couple of quibbles: Catalan has a dark /l/ too; maybe it would be more accurate to see Catalan is between Ibero Romance and Gallo Romance, although it can be quite similar to Langadocien, (less so Provençal or Gascon). BTW, my Andalusian parents in law actually pronounced the /h/ in words like "harina."

The comments saying american and brittish english would not diverge (due to internet, television , radio etc) are interesting. On the one hand I can see where the argument comes form; on the other, international radio and TV have been a thing since the early 20th century; American actors purposefuly adopted the "trans-atlantic" accent, which was designed to be somewhat in between american and british english in terms of pronunciation. But as we know now, this did not stick, and instead American and Brittish English have since then diverged more, not become more alike. So I do think the two will continue to diverge; I just think American English will be or become the more popular and international one of the two.

hebrew also has tchelet, which is light blue

Can you do a research about North African Latin !

In Houston, TX here. The move towards AAVE is certainly happening not only in the phonetic sense, but in the dropping of the “apostrophe s” for possession: “Mama’s House” is becoming “Mama House”. Also, “they are doing that” is more frequently spoken as “they be doing that”. When my 11YO talks with his friends, I hear new things that to my ears are Latin-inspired: the “L” in vaLid is becoming softer, more like the “L” in the Spanish word “Loco”.

7:03 bro it's not ai ,but usturoi

I’ve heard many Arabic speakers use Arabic sounds in words like Qatar, Quran, etc when speaking English which I always find annoying (not just with Arabic but also other languages). What’s the reason they (and, I must say, disappointingly, you) do it. If you’re speaking English, reverting to foreign phonology sounds unnatural and makes my brain focus on those sounds rather than the message

That is not the catalan flag

Your natural accent sounds kinda Spanish to me to begin with -- as someone from England/Aus.

I could understand you at 2x speed and I am from England/Aus; just sounds like you have a heavy accent.

It's still 95% intelligible to me as a current American native speaker

Italian io is /i.o/, not /jo/. It's on the side of languages that kept a syllabic initial e, though in standard Italian it raised to /i/ (but didn't in many dialects).

cincisprezece is not a good example: it doesn't come from quindecim, but was remade later from the numerals cinci (< cinque, Vulgar form of quinque) and zece (<decem)

My guy, why you talking so fast? Vid's over 20 mins... no rush... good stuff 👌

Did romans write uita instead of vita? Never seen that.

smart

Wrong! All the northern Italian dialects are NOT in the Italo Dalmation group

13:36 Romanian also inherited the word directly from uīta, as vită, meaning cow

Using the phonology of Brazilian Portuguese and American Spanish on porpuse? Because it might relate better to old versions of the languages? Or just to piss off Europeans haha?

if the spelling doesn't change, it'll be a nightmare

Dutch does use two words for city/village, namely ‘stad’ for city and ‘dorp’ for village

Didn't proto germanic have 3 numbers? Anglo Saxon and Gothic both have the dual number. So it had to have a dual in proto germanic for that to happen.

Is this standrad Telugu?

The Catalonia's flag is wrong, you used an unofficial independentist flag.

Native Catalan speakers (Valencians and Balearics too) have a dark l almost always!

stop /d/ became affricated to /dz/ then /dz/ deaffricated to /z/ around the time of the transition to the roman script or slightly earlier

In French if a word ends in a consonant it is silent unless the next word starts with a vowel.

/ʁ/ is also relatively recent to french circa 18th c around paris, 19-20th c in rural france (due to standardisation/radio/cultural pressures on other french languages). see Contribution à l'histoire de la consonne R en français

its not /x/ in european portuguese its /ʀ̝/ or /ʁ/ and rarely trilled. in brazilian portuguese its /x/ or /χ/ or /h/ or /ʁ/ and rarely trilled in some small communities.

A language that does not differentiate between young and new is Greek, which can use "νέος" ['ne̞.o̞s̠] for both a new thing and a young person or animal. However, there are words that can only be used for new objects, such as "καινούριος" [ce̞.'nuɾ.ʝo̞s̠], and others that can only be used for young people, such as "νεαρός" [ne̞.a.'ɾo̞s̠].

Please do one for the Slavic languages next!

17:19 The word "blanc" does exist in Romanian, but it's mainly used in writing, as in "blank space". Also, worth mentioning that the word "țară" means country now in Romanian, and that hour is "oră". "oară" is "time" as in 1st, 2nd, xth time ("prima oară", "a doua oară", etc.) Still great video, keep it up!

I simply cannot catch up with the pace of the video

Make sure to keep you lips rounded when pronouncing [y]

I think b d and ɡ would reciece the same treatment as pʰ tʰ kʰ also i think p will turn to pɸ b turns to bβ d turns to dz ɡ turns to ɣ

You failed to distinguish European and Brazilian Portuguese. Do thorough research next time.

Wait, 7:48 what about "rozmawiać"? e.g: "I was talking to him" is "rozmawiałem z nim" but "I was telling him" is "mówiłem mu" and in perfective "I talked to him" is "porozmawiałem z nim" but "I told him" is "powiedziałem mu" I would say Polish makes the distinction but as rozmawiać/mówić, which you didn't mention

Amazing video but I had to watch on 0.75 speed 😭😭
