Português. :)
Albanian bc Its my first language
Finnish
Finnish.
"Spanish is the official language of all South American countries, except Brazil".
*Guyana and Suriname want to know your location*
Nobody even remembers Guyana and Suriname's location.
French Guiana is putting a bounty on your head.
French Guiana: am I a joke to you
@@nelsonricardo3729 French Guyana is not a country, but part of France. So actually iz's a European country. In South America. And the Carribean. And the Pacific. And near Madagascar. And EVERYWHERE!
Suriname would be more like: *ben ik een grap voor jou?* (Am I a joke to you? in Dutch)
Chinese:- I speak only Chinese.
India:- hold my 1600 languages.
rockingalvin2012 but Indians have lots of different languages and not just dialects.
@@anonymous-fm9wp most Chinese speakers don't understand other 'dialects', so we sometimes call them different languages
That's what you wrong kid. It's only 22.
Search on Google. Or wikipedia😂
Dc Garcia We live in India, so we know. There are 32 ‘official’ languages. Indian Census of 1962 recognised 1,652 languages out of which 150 are spoken by a sizeable amount of population. I don’t think it’s something to brag about, these are just facts.
@@anonymous-fm9wp even in my state, Manipur, there are around 50 different language
Everybody: I speak a lot of languages!
American: *left the chat*
lmao 😹
lmao you speak all languages
I live in USA I speak English and Spanish well maybe that’s cus I’m Hispanic lol
I saw subtitles added to an Australian person speaking on an American tv show lol i didnt need it im Australian
@Treavor Alvardo That was only a stupid stereotype, but in a lot of cases is true because a lot of Americans didn't go abroad and stay in US
Fun fact: Japanese use Kanji more than “sometimes”...
Ok weeb
That fact wasn’t so fun when I was learning the language. Now I’m learning Spanish gracias a Dios,
Yep, its actually used more than the others, mostly because reading a full hiragana/katakana sentence is literally torture
@@mcfarofinha134 Ever heard of the latin script?
@@ZK-ff2ru ever heard of cultural preservation? Im sure you do yankee
Chinese really should not be all lumped into one, but mandarin would still be #1
iammaxhailme yeah exactly what I tought, the second he said chinese I was like wtf? It should be mandarin #1 with like 900million something. Then there's cantonese and other dialects
I was thinking the same way because Mandarin and Cantonese are the two most dialects spoken in China.
@@seeyang9821 I think you're wrong. The Wu dialect is more spoken than Cantonese dialect. Wu dialect have 77 millions of native speakers and Cantonese dialect have 71 millions of native speakers in China and chinese diasporic communities all over the world. The fourth most spoken chinese dialect is Hokkien (福建話)。
@@carlosmendez4209 Or you could call it Wuhounese
Honestly it annoys me when I have to write Chinese thing using the English alphabet since most things use Mandarin but my family uses Cantonese
The Mandarin on the thumbnail says "We speak China" xD
**Wheezes**
YEAH, Google's translation for sure, can't blame him though he probably has never learned any Chinese, BTW when he says 普通话 and 国语 the pronunciation was kind of emmmm he tried.
ikr I was like uhmmmm ????
I KNOW I WAS SHOOK
Leon Holt he could have easily looked up how to say we speak *chinese* smh
I'm a Brazilian who speaks

I'm one of them
@@Mr3344555 that sentence just made me cringed because it said we speak (language) China
I did.
3:00 Japanese uses 3 writing systems; Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Not 2
he mentioned kanji as Chinese characters
@Happy Njm I mean, you're right, but romanji isn't used alongside the other writing systems, if it is being used, then it's being used exclusively, without the others. It's only used so people that can't read the other writing systems can understand what the phrases sound like. The people using Cyrillic alphabets really ran out of luck here. But I do agree
ツHa22el he said "sometimes", which is wrong
Somali
Romanji is Japanese with Latin writing. I’m learning Japanese and I’m writing down Romanji when studying
Ser hispanohablante es hablar la lengua romance más hablada, la lengua europea más hablada, y nos entendemos fácilmente entre todos los países que hablamos español.
Los hispanoamericanos tenemos la historia y raíz común de haber sido colonia española, y diferencias entre nosotros las hay, y nuestra lengua nos une y facilita.

Edit : there’s a fight in the comments XD I just want to write a comment not start a war
The most spoken I feel are just Tagalog, English, and Bisaya. There are others like Cebuano, Chavacano, and others I don’t know the name of. My fiancée is from the Philippines and actually Tagalog is her third language. Her native tongue is Bisaya, then she learned English in private school, and then she learned Tagalog mostly from watching tv and going to Manila to work.

@@yeetspageet6707 Highly doubt lol, french empire was quite big, it's unrealistic to say *twice*

I'd say it was pretty much the same
Andromediens the British Empire 35.5 million kilometres squared, while the Spanish Empire was 13.7 million kilometres squared, and the French Empire was 11.5 million kilometres squared.
Meaning the British Empire was 2.6 times larger than the Spanish Empire, and 3 times larger than the French Empire.
So no, they were not roughly equal, the British were always leagues ahead.
@@yeetspageet6707 the spanish one is 20.4 not 13.7, the french empire was 13 not 11.5, also the mongol empire was arguably bigger than the british one, and your empire was not a territorial empire it was an explotation empire that's why English didn't stick as the main language in those regions

The Japanese part is wrong in that it's very misguided. Japanese uses ONE writing system: Japanese, within which there are 3-4 ways of writing, kanji (Chinese characters that aren't just "sometimes" used but are integral to the language), hiragana (used for native words), katakana (used for foreign words and sound words), and romaji (the real "sometimes" one - basically any time latin letters are used).
BandSandSandS i see people make that mistake a lot. It is one writing system made of a combination of 2 writing systems, one of said systems has 2 scripts. Kanji is a logographic system, katakana and hiragana are both kana which are both syllabaries. I also was annoyed that he said that Japanese “sometimes” uses Kanji. They ALWAYS use Kanji except for children still learning. But in everyday writing and in every form of media kanji is used. However they’re all used together for different purposes so you can find all three in one sentence.
Sound words?
It's Onomatopoeia sir.
@Happy Njm well but chinese people who know full kanji uses romaji if they are in japan all the time
@@user-ch9my3to6j Isn't that just 'cause Japanese kanjis differ from both traditional and simplified Chinese ones? This was at least the difficulty with some people from Taiwan and Hong Kong I met while in Japan.

You must be depressed
But not in your "veins?"
CoLoNiZAtIon, you think UK was the only country that colonized or what lmao.
Vikings were the first to find Americas.
But ofc let's take it to the 1500's as is when the first colonizations started.
1492 - Christopher Columbus(Italian which actually colonized as spanish) bumped into the americas and started to colonize central america.
1500 - Pedro Álvares Cabral(Portuguese) arrived in south america, started to colonize brazil.
1607 (About one century later) UK arrives at his best in north america to colonize us.
So I guess that power of colonization isn't the best lel. Unless you're talking about every other old world region that everyone knew about.

Johan Stöve es geht hier ersten um die Muttersprachler sprich die deutsch als erste (Muttersprache) haben, wo Deutschland klar mehr hat als französisch und zweitens wird deutsch in ganz Europa und Nordamerika gerne als 1,2 oder auch 3 Sprache genommen. Klar französisch dominiert dort noch aber eben nur in Gebieten wie Afrika und in der Karabik.
It's an honorable mention because of how much the number grows if you take in account more than the "native speakers" as shown in the final list where it makes it to the 5th place worldwide.
Actually french native is way higher than 76M
Half of Africa does speak french natively as second language
All their bureaucracy is in french, the markets and so on, but they're listed as "non-native" which is rly weird to me
I agree with the honorable mention because French has so many non-native speakers while while German has more native speakers but overall is behind French in total number of speakers.
"Japanese use two languages, and sometimes even use Chinese characters"
This is misleading. The majority of written text uses Kanji and hiragana, with Katakana used for phonetics and foreign borrowed words. To say Japanese "sometimes" uses Kanji (which has changed significantly from Chinese btw) is a vast understatement
@i wonder if you're reading this This is a video about languages so...you should expect it.
@@ReallyRandomMe he said "sometimes they use chinese characters" but it's not true. Kanji (which only have few similarities to chinese characters) is used the most then hiragana then katakana.
@@ReallyRandomMe i know all of that. I'm learning both japanese and korean. What i said was that most of kanji is no longer the same with actual chinese characters because there are lots of kanji that doesnt hold the same meaning to the chinese counterparts anymore. It is derived from it but now it doesnt mean that if you know chinese then you can now read all of the kanjis as well. I have a chinese friend and we both compared chinese and kanji characters and a majority of similarities are only the basic ones lile numbers and elements like water, fire, etc.
@@ReallyRandomMe I never said it didnt derive from chinese characters. that's why i said a few similarities since most dont hold the same meaning anymore. That's why its now called kanji and not chinese characters

Informative
Spanish, Chinese (putonghua and Sichuanhua), a little Bahasa Indonesia / Malaysia (this is how to refer to their languages, bahasa means language), a little Thai, a little Hindi, a little Nepali.... when you live in a country, there’s many reasons why you should learn to speak the local language... for me, it was mostly interest- I really, really love learning new languages. In places like China, maybe a huge city like Shanghai has some English speakers, but pretty much everywhere else, no one speaks English, and obviously all signs and menus are in Chinese characters so learning the language was a must. Even if you didn’t try, you’d pick up on important or useful words and expressions. Here’s a funny little thing I’d like to say, it relevant ...once I learned the characters for “massage” I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are little massage places EVERYWHERE! I couldn’t believe how many there were up and down the streets around our apartment. Before I just saw signs, and since I didn’t know the characters I didn’t really pay much attention to them, and never noticed how prevalent they were. Lol upon learning, boom! They’re everywhere! Lol
Edit to add..I forgot I learned some German in uni! I had one elective left and I could choose anything I wanted! So I took German, while also taking more advanced Chinese!
“But aren’t you going to confuse them?” Asked several people
Me: lol “definitely not”
:)
You should consider applying a hi-pass filter (at around 400 Hz) on your audio track to get rid of those annoying "p" pop sounds.
Thanks for the tip! I'll try doing that for the next video. I use a pop filter and the video editing software implements a compressor plugin automatically, but maybe it's not enough
@@General.Knowledge Yeah those tend to leave the low end pops, anyway thanks for answering and great videos!

Well... It is a way to not let you forget Spanish, specially if you don't live in a Spanish speaking country. I have friends from Brazil living in different countries where they only speak Portuguese at home. It is usually how their children learn it.

Actually,the history of languagues is also the history of colonization.
That is so obvious.
English works well in India, though even in the post colonial times. They have chosen to keep English since many Dravidian people don't like Hindi, etc.

2:39...Hindu Punjabis Also Use The Gurmukhi Script
He should say indian punjabi use gurmukhi and pak use shahmukhi
Even indian punjabi Muslims use gurmukhi
I guess “我们说汉语” is more natural mandarin.
Also we Japanese people ALWAYS use Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji (Chinese characters).
Without Kanji, sentences sometimes don’t make sense or would be very confusing.
For instance, the word “kami” has at least 3 meanings.
神 means gods, 髪 means hair and 紙 means paper.
The hardest part of learning Japanese was the kanji. I don't know why, it just always confused me.
@@angryfilmgamer570 what do you mean you don't know why? You struggled to learn it because is the hardest part of the Japanese language hahaha

I don't know who told people that Arab dialects are that different, I can understand all of the them except maybe for Morocco's. Besides that, all arabs speak the formal Arabic and its the same for everybody. it's used in the media, in books, schools and official cases.
Betrayer Arabs....
I didn't quite understand it either, all Arabic speakers can speak to each other without any difficulty if they use Standard Arabic.
Sea Shell even with dialects we can understand each other
My father is from Lebanon and I from Spain and my father can not understand the morrocain but the another's can
So why you still not organised in to an "Arabic empire"? Not with that crazy islamic ideas, nobody in the world will allow you to do that, if you will not be capable to prosper peacefuly, but more civilised way. You all already speak the one language.

3:05 the case with the japanese writing systems is *not* that you can write it _either_ in hiragana _or_ in katakana _or_ in Chinese characters (which I think might have been the impression that you got), but rather, their writing system is a combination of all three systems. hiragana and katakana are syllabaries, they represent the pronunciation of a word similar to an alphabet, but you couldn't just use them since JP doesn't use spaces and there are a lot of homophones, especially with words derived from Chinese (in medieval times). Chinese characters, called Kanji, are a logography, so they represent a meaning rather than a pronunciation, and often in Japanese a noun or the root of a verb or adjective is spelled with Kanji and then grammatical endings like with verb conjugations, as well as words like grammatical particles are spelled in hiragana, and katakana is mainly used to spell the pronunciation of words borrowed from foreign languages (in modern times) like English.
Yo soy Filipino pero entiendo y hablo español un poco😊 Glad to hear es en numero dos.
Espero que algún día Filipinas pueda volver a tener español como uno de los idiomas oficiales ✌🏻🐼😊
¡Qué guay que entiendas el español! No mucha gente sabe que Filipinas fue parte del Virreinato de la Nueva España con capital en la Ciudad de México. Los filipinos siempre serán nuestros hermanos hispanos de Asia.
Man, I would love to see philippines speaking Spanish again, I encourage you (as colombian and Spanish speaker) to keep practicing Spanish and to try to spread it more across your homeland.
I'm sure we both know its Spanish influences.

I love this video. Being German myself, I learned English, Latin and French at school. I'm somewhat of a language junkie, so afterwards I treated myself with Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, Afrikaans and Indonesian. I know, some of these languages are spoken by rather few people compared e. g. to English or French, but learning them is real fun, and it's gratifying meeting people e. g. from Norway or Iceland goggling at you when they hear you talking to them in their own tongue instead of English. It's good to have a lingua franca like English that nearly everyone understands at some degree, but you shouldn't neglect all those other interesting and beautiful languages around the world that make life and mankind so rich. Learning and using foreign languages gives you the chance to not only communicate with people, but to reach their hearts and souls.
Nice!
english is the most spoken language in the world if you look at how many people actually speak english. I come from a country that has nothing to do with england, canada, us, australia and I can still perfectly communicate with every england native while I don't know a single word in chinese.. Like you said entertainment is mostly english language dominant so we all learned english to a point even before we picked it up in school..
Yup same, I'm dutch and I'm basically native in English, what would be the chances of finding someone who speaks dutch somewhere else lol.
Only Belgium and some islands here and there
@@TheB0sss
Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname;
Additionally in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten.
I have spoken to South Africans in Dutch without problem.
@@robinsinpost yeah I mentioned those.
I said, what are the chances of meeting someone from those tiny places.
Anywhere except those places themselves is pretty unlikely given the population counts. (with the exception of south Africa, which is by far the hardest to actually understand, but they also don't travel much obviously).
Japanese uses Chinese characters *sometimes*? Surely you mean all the time.
I'm a native Spanish speaker. I speak English and Japanese fluently, and have picked some French and Mandarin over the years. Currently trying to learn Cantonese because my girlfriend is from Hong Kong.
I don't know why he said sometimes. Possibly a misunderstanding based on not enough research? Kanji isn't even the same as Chinese anymore. The characters have changed visually, and are different in usage
Yeah, I think most words in Japanese use Kanji so "sometimes" is a huge understatement
cantonese I feel like hs a lot of sounds like Singapore, im a native cantonese speaker and say so many sounds its kinda ridiculous
Where do you live? I'd love to become multilingual in the near future. Hablo español y tengo un nivel bastante elevado de inglés (~C1). Ahora estudiando coreano, italiano y quiero retomar el francés (:

See as someone who speaks almost fluent French and English, I get the gist of what you’re saying in Spanish without any formal teaching.
french: world wide 76 million native speaker. German native speaker only in germany: 80 million. (not including: denmark, luxembourg, switzerland, austria, liechtenstein, italy, beglium, france, czech republic). Seems legit.
French is a much more influential language worldwide than German will ever be. As a second language, French was spoken by 270 million individuals throughout the world in 1986, at leat 3,5 times more than German. Many among them need French on a daily basis.
There are not many people who speak German natively in France...

The US is a cool place for languages. Before WW2 people were born speaking German and could go their whole lives not speaking English. But because of the hatred of Germans during the war most German speakers stopped speaking and now it’s only really the Amish communities that still speak “Pennsylvania Dutch” which is really a type of German not Dutch

Thanks for making this and many other videos. I would offer a correction, though. Japanese written for anyone over the age of 5 will have Kanji, comprised mostly of Chinese characters, in addition to Hiragana and Katakana. So there are three scripts. Furthermore, Hiragana and Katakana entered the Japanese writing system after Kanji. So Kanji is actually the basis of the written language.

Word has it that Indonesian (which makes #10 in the second list) is remarkably easy to learn. I might want to try learning it some time.
Myself, I had a bit of Spanish learning, but not nearly enough. I can read it well enough, but my native language is Portuguese and I have attempted very hard to be fluent in English as well.
Yes.. Indonesian is very easy to learn. Malay (Malaysian) language is also very easy to learn. Both are very similar. Plus, since you're a native Portuguese speaker, you have an added advantage in terms of vocabulary, since there are about 700 plus words in the Malay language that are derived from Portuguese.
