Candle is a bad example since it probably comes from Old English, which borrowed the term from Latin.

1:31 in Italian, we say: 2 caffè, like 2 coffees

Wow, just found this channel. our voice is so so similar to max Miller from Tasting History that I had go and check you weren't him!

What?!?! Claudius is here?!?!?

The way the box like characters work is that you have to let the people in before closing the door

If the neo latin languages were an family ,french would be the one raped by the celtic languages while dalmatian would be the one killed by slavid languages

Lots of good stuff in here but lots of little and one or two fairly big errors. Also it’s a fun video, but don’t let the high production values and 90% correctness and academic quality make you think that everything you’re seeing in it is accurate.

in Turkey we learn in school that our language is a part of the Ural-Altaic family which includes all the Altaic languages plus Uralic languages like Hungarian, Finnis and Estonian.

Why not beginn with roman genealogy which were of greater interest for us than iroqui or bananish

I think you can do this in arabic

the Tower of Babel wasn't an attempt at explaining anything, it was a revealed/received story. "God of the Gaps" is a strawman argument. Religious narratives don't form from attempts to explain historical or a natural mechanics.

2:18 You pronounced x as ʀ̥

I'm still getting this vibe that we are/have been demanding too much before giving credit

My cat can say 4 words that we've come up with together

Ok but why is grammar the only thing were focusing on My cat says "wow" when he wants to be petted. He sats "aaaaam" when he wants "ham" (what we call wet food) why do we need grammar on top of vocabulary to acknowledge that animals can communicate to us and mean it?

One of the apes at kanzi's center drew the symbol for Outside one day when it had been raining a lot so no one had been playing outside

I ownder if "muluvanice" could be also "painted" or "drawn" meaning "I was painted by Laris"

Why does English sound so unlike other Germanic languages?

It doesnt, it sounds just like italian and Spanish

I suspect it’s not “you peel us” but rather “you rob us.” Yes, I base this assertion on an unrelated language such as Turkish. However, if one were to look at a map they would be pleasantly surprised to find Turkey and Georgia are side by side. Indeed, Georgia was under Ottoman rule for quite some time and expressions such as these end up being borrowed from language to language. The word used for “peel”, “undress”, and “rob” is the same in Turkish. And it makes sense despite not doing so at first glance. However, one would recognize that in each case the verb expresses that something that belongs to something is being removed. Cloths from the body, wealth from a person, and the inedible exterior from a fruit or vegetable.

The first empire but not the last to get too inflated to the point of collapse.

can you do one on australian aboriginal languages?

They talk annoying

Love Hungarian. I learned Hungarian .Took me 2 weeks to read and write. I just finished reading the Bible in Hungarian. On the way to work, I am finishing the second audio in Károly Bible.

Was the corpse an Etruscan? It's interesting how it got mummified in Egypt if that's true.

Up Sut Aye Bow A-mem

Sigh. That's what happens when a language that originally started its life as a Germanic language got chopped up and radically changed around over many centuries - compared to other languages which were untouched (for the majority of time) by outside influences. In its defence, English grammar is definitely far easier than some other languages out there. Where it trips everyone up is its incomprehensible spelling and pronunciation rules !

I thought I came here to listen to somebody speak latin

Are you saying the word nightmare, is originally ghaelghamare

Ashoka didn't invented writing system in India!!, he just standardised the Brahmi script, there were already versions of brahmi script used around the subcontinent,

2:07 this is interesting that they have qieyun. and how people (today) know how to pronounce Qieyun ? it is not like Pinyin that we could refer to Roman character

SVO

Talking about different calls and signs from animals and not letting us hear or see any of them is criminal!

25 year Japanese language student here. Thank you for explaining why I hate my life🤣

Great video. I still doubt we can say how Etruscan was spoken in reality. Orthografie always is an abstraction. Under words there are morphems, phonems and finally phones, which most concretly represent the spoken language. But of course the science still brought a lot into daylight.

We still use Coptic language during liturgy

so thats why theyre called occitan french

000 0000 000

The peak of Egyptian civilization was actually right at the beginning - Pre Dynasty world. With every new kingdom, Egypt declined. So, writing is not making us wiser. The reason why we started to write things down is because of amnesia that humanity has been living with for some thousands of years due to trauma. People before didn't have to write things down because memory, information was inherited.

And later on came Cajun French and Creole French in Louisiana!

word "RUMA" in finish language means - ugly.

We are full of hubris if the Hieroglyphic was used for 3,500 years while we are barely a thousand and a half and full of huffing and puffing.....like a crane standing at the back of the big water Buffalo.......!!!

Yo broh why does the thumbnail look like CaseOh?

Is the book you mention Isidore's De differentiis verborum?

"Dia(O), saya(S) ngelihat(V)" but with coma😅we have OSV in casually not Officially.(Bahasa Indonesia)

Une baguette (magique) et un 🥐 it is all what you need 😂😅

French : too many rules English : embrace the chaos

Honestly one of the most underrated channels. Great work!

"Merci à tous", not "merci tout le monde"
