  • From Galician to Georgian, to Poland's other language, Scotland's other language and Romanian 4th language, the languages of Europe are an astounding patchwork of humanity and a rich tapestry of history - each language with its own cultural make up. In this video we make it simple to understand the cultural make up of many of Europe's smaller languages - compressing them each into 1 sentence, so you know and you can explore further with this amazing knowledge. Enjoy!

    As a history student, a heraldry+vexicology enthusiast and a Romanian, I have one remark about representing the găgăuz language with one of the modern interpretations of the medieval flag of Moldavia. It would have been far better to use either the flag of the Republic of Moldova or the one of their autonomous unit, as they have no connection to the period and the people that used it in the Middle Ages for they settled this territory much later. The aurochs is a beloved symbol of the Romanians and especially for the Romanians living in the historical lands of Moldavia.

      The aurochs was important enough to Germanic speakers, that it might have gotten its own rune: "Ur", the second in the orderings I know, (Elder, Younger, and Anglo-Saxon). Then again, maybe that rune had a different origin. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur_(rune)

    For the Kashubian you could use the black and yellow horizontal flag. I would agree it is understandable by Poles but I would argue I am able to understand Slovak and Ukrainian better sometimes than Kashubian (depending on the context spoken about) - either way great job! Also Silesian, Alsacian, Greenlandic, Savoy, Kazakh - there is more to discover! Love your vids.

    • @RooiGevaar19

      tbh if we adapted our Kashubian orthography better to our language pronounciation, then our language would resemble Slovak more than Polish, our official Polish-like orthography sucks and does not go well with some of our sounds and accents

    Amazing content, special appreciation for the near-death experiences with the gurgling, yet a couple of small things: Kashubian actually does have some sort of presentable flag (looks like the old Habsburg Austria flag), I am definitely aware that you know that flag you put for gagauz was the Principality of Moldavia, and not the Gagauz flag, and on a final note, for the Walloons, they have a special red rooster, that avoided its head from getting chopped (unlike some neighbours as you said). Other than that, hats off to the Georgian vowel-hate precision lol!

    Kashubian and Polish are similar? As one of my uni professor said - I hope you all know Polish well enough, to not understand a word from Kashubian. After all they are literally a different nation, who just happens to live in Poland. But that's just a fun fact - your video was great :)

    • @RooiGevaar19

      Kashubian and Polish is like Danish and Swedish respectively, our script might look similar, but our pronounciation is much more complex and richer than Polish one. And yes, we are our own Pomeranian people, but Poles and Germans wanted our lands, and both tried to assimilate us, and eventually 20th century made us fall under Polish rule.

    Wikipedia:
    The Sardinian language (in Sardinian: lingua sarda) is the main language spoken in Sardinia, Italy and is considered to be the most conservative Romance language.
    Due to this history of the island, which was isolated from the mainland for thousands of years, and only in recent times was it easier to communicate with the mainland, it was possible to maintain certain characteristics of the archaic vulgar Latin language that disappeared in other areas!
    Also, the Sardinian language has many words that are closer to Romanian (Romania, ancient Dacia ) than to Latin or Italian, although the influence of these two languages on the Sardinians lasted for hundreds of years.
    Sardinia was colonized by the Sardinians, who migrated, like the Latins from the Danube region. Dacia, was conquered by the Romans in 238 BC,
    The island would then come under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, Spain, with the Spanish language heavily influencing the language, especially in the administrative realm.

    Ben, thanks for mentioning the Tatar language, which is my mother tongue. You don't usually see youtubers mentioning it in their linguistics-oriented videos
    You're quite right with the mentioning of the Islamic influence. Tatar is full of Arabic words and phrases, which are used in everyday life. It helps me greatly with my Hebrew studies, since both Arabic and Herbew are semitic languages
    I study Hebrew for religious reasons. Judaism enlightens me as well as it did you when you decided to convert. However, I find it a bit troublesome to seek proper guidance in the environment I happen to be in - my surroundings are mostly Muslim (I was born in a Muslim Tatar family, although I've never prayed in a mosque ever, and I bear an Arabic name) , Orthodox (Russians) and Atheists. Can you give me an advice on how should I advance my learning of Judaism in a such situation?

    I think I recall that Sicily was the casus belli for the First Punic War, because the Carthaginians were messing around there, challenging the Greek city-states, and Rome came to their defense? Meanwhile we Calabresi were watching from across the Straits of Messina, but then Hannibal came over the Alps and brought the war all the way down to us, and so we have a city called Catanzaro, from the original Castra Hannibalis ("the camp of Hannibal"). None of those people knew that they were crossing modern borders that wouldn't exist for a couple of thousand years yet. But along the way they were creating the languages of Italy!

      Nothing proven there is a link between Basque and Georgian.
      Only that Basque, Finnic, Hungarian, Georgian, some Siberian groups and some Native American groups, all share some very rare traits, and we think that over 10,000 years ago, there may have been a link. But it is so far back we don't know.

    Not bad. Of course there are loads more - and without including the tens of Caucasian ones (but you already included Georgian). There are many more languages in Italy and France, there's Sorbian, you did West Frisian but there's East and North Frisian as well, Istriot, Istro-Romanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian, and if you're going to include Mari you might as well include all the other languages of European Russia (Karelian, Permyak, Zyrian, Udmurt, Chuvash, Kalmyk etc.) Props for including Gagauz.

      @@RooiGevaar19 Yes it is coincidence. Kashubian flag has the same ancestry as Vorpommern. Basically Pomerania was ruled by cadet branch of Polish Piast dynasty, they used a griffin as their symbol. Due to historical reason Pomerania and Pomerelia changed few time their overlord (Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden etc) and is now Pomerelia is in Poland, while Pomerania is split between Poland and Germany, but all those regions use griffin in their coat of arms, due to House of Griffin (cadet branch of Polish House of Piast) ruling this region for centuries, but use different colours to differentiate the coat of arms, and each flag just takes colours from respective coats of arms. What is the most surprising that those part of Griffin domain that were inside Holy Roman Empire kept the traditional Polish white and red colours, while those that were outside HRE and more connected to Poland went with more German looking black and yellow. :P

    It would be very cool if you would also talk about Moldavian language that was the official language of moldova until february 2023. Moldavian or Moldovan nowdays is considered romanian but they are different since in moldavian we usually say half of the phrase in romanian (but with some differences in the accent and pronuntiation) and the other half in russian and many other differencies. In summary when a moldavian talks to a romanian the romanian guy will not understand anything.

      And Sorbian is like Czech, Polish and Slovak got twins, one leaning more towards Polish (G), the other leaning more towards Czech and Slovak (H), and to say "with German sprinkles" would definitely not be enough, it is rather like the German neighbours moved into their house and beat them up several times for speaking Sorbian. Not so much lately.
      I am being told by Czech and Slovak and Russian speakers that we sound Polish and by Polish speakers that we sound Czech or Slovak - with a heavy German influence.

      Surzhik - the lazy combination of Ukrainian and Russian. A mid point of Ukrainisns of being completely Russified.
