Hey guys! I'm back with another video pretty soon, right? I hope you guys enjoyed (and make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you did), and let me know what other videos I should make! I have a lot of good ideas and I am really excited to make some more videos!
A chunk of history I’ve never seen anyone else talk about or show
Hope you enjoyed!
Oh wow, you actually did it! Thank you for another great video! I wish you could’ve integrated object conjugation (eg. sodatanzat ’(s)he knows you’), predicative conjugation (eg. kudosonzol’in ’I was in his/her house’) and secondary declension (eg. kudstǝt’i ’to the person coming out of the house’) into the video, since they are such interesting features (atleast to me), but it’s understandable because, as you said, Mordvinic languages have been historically underresearched and books on grammar are not easy to find.. but nevertheless, this video could be of much help towards Mordvinic revitalization! It definitely adds exposure to a language that has had its ups and downs, so thank you!
Thanks for the comment, and I understand. I did say that words are inflected in a number of ways and went over the cases, but I couldn't find anything like that. I try to not only use Wikipedia, but in this instance, a lot of articles are in Russian, which I evidently do not speak, but if I ever get the chance then I would definitely make a follow up video! That does seem really interesting, and I assume you know this stuff because you are majoring in Finnish and have had more exposure to Uralic languages in general. Again, thanks for watching!
by the way, the words allative, illative, elative and ablative are stressed on the 1st syllable
Thanks for letting me know!
Awesome overview, thanks 😄
Thanks for watching!
I want you to overview the Navajo language. Would be awesome!
Noted!
Nice job!
I really respect highlighting minority and endangered languages.
Speaking of pronunciation, you clearly have difficulties pronouncing palatalized consonants. I understand it's hard for English speakers, because the language lacks them.
The most noticeable thing is your /sʲ/ spelled as ⟨ś⟩ pronunciation. In “Phonology” section you pronounce it as /sʲjə/.
But in “Morphology/Grammar” it becomes /ʃ/. It's actually how palatalization of S and Z works in Polish, but not in East Slavic languages or Erzya, which phonology semes to be heavily influenced by Russian.
[nʲ] for example is pronounced between regular [n] and [ɲ] (Spanish Ñ)
[xʲ] is located between [x] and [ç] (H in English “huge”)
As far as I know they are called prevelar/postpalatal and IPA charts generally don't list them
Also it seems like you pronounced [χ] instead of [x], which is also understandable, they aren't presented in the majority of English varieties.
By the way, sometimes IPA transcriptions of Russian can be a bit misleading, for example /tʲ/ is actually pronounced like something between [tʲ] and [t͡sʲ]. /dʲ/ is somethinɡ between [dʲ] and [d͡zʲ]. But actually, many modern speakers tend to pronounce them as [t͡sʲ] and [d͡zʲ].
For me as a native Russian speaker in Lithuania it was an issue in school then my Lithuanian teacher was complaining I was pronouncing [t͡sʲ] instead of [tʲ]. I didn't get what's there problem because in Russian Ц is never palatalized (expert for optional pronunciation of some foreign place names like Цюрих), and in Lithuanian [tʲ] and [t͡sʲ] are always distinct.
Thanks for the comment! I'm going to take all of these tips for next time
patriarch kirill gundyaev and supermodel natalia vodyanova are erzya too
Thank you for all this succinct info! I was adopted and have looked into my genetic maps and believe my birth mother was part Erzyan. She always wore a headcovering according to my neighbors. I am trying to reconnect with my ancestry and this helped.
Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's amazing that you are trying to connect back to your ancestry, and maybe you can even visit there! I know I would love to, and I'm happy to have helped in giving information on a small language like this.
No way no way NO WAY i found a flag exactly like mine (the flag of the communist empire of bramusia) no way what are the chances
Wow, that's actually hilarious!
@@PolyglotMouse when did u make the flag, i made mine in 2022
@thepresidentofbramusia I never made this flag actually. This is the official flag of the Erzya people
@@PolyglotMouse oh then wen did theyvmake it lol
are you pronouncing Cyrillic correctly? C before i, e, and y is pronounced S not K. right?
I was trying to pronounce it as close to Russian as possible 😅
Will you ever make a video on the Russian language?
Yes, definitely in the near future
@@PolyglotMouse я с нетерпением жду этого!!!
You should do Istro-Romanian, or Aromanian.
Sounds interesting I'm going to have to take a look at that!

It's Moscow, not Moskau
Palatised, which you don't know how to do
If it makes you happy, I understand how to say Moscow (musk-vuh), but I pronounced it the American way because 1. That's where I'm from and 2. Most of my viewers, around 90% of my audience won't know what I am saying If I don't say it the anglicised way. However, I will be making a Russian video soon where I will pronounce the words the write way so if you're interested then you can hear me pronounce it correctly then! 😁
You definitely pronoune /ŋ/ incorrectly; you pronounce it as [nˠ] instead of [ŋ]
note: my language /ŋ/ can be onset unlike english that can only be coda, so I can cleary hear it that you not pronounce it correctly
Must've confused the phonemes, thanks for letting me know
