🇬🇧 Guys, I apologise for using the map that shows the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia. At the time of making the video, I just took a random pic from google and was like ok it works. Sorry! Glory to Ukraine!
------------------
🇺🇦 Друзі, я перепрошую за використання мапи, де окуповані українські території показані як російські. Коли я робив це відео, я просто взяв випадкове зображення з ґуґлу і вирішив, що воно цілком норм. Вибачте! Слава Україні!
you also have to be sorry for using a map that has israel instead of palestine
Thank u for the apology, this matters
@@Aziz05.stfu he’s not apologizing for that
@@Aziz05.🤡
You mean native russian territories occupied by ukraine in 1991 and reunited with russia after ukraine started genocide of people on those territories?
I confused myself with Portuguese and Russian yet I guessed Navajo correctly lol. Also I only knew it was Icelandic because they said Iceland mid sentence.
I’m Russian and at first confused Portuguese with Polish
Ikr? The Portuguese sounded like Russian, but once I started recognizing words as I speak a bit of Portuguese I luckily got it right.
I confused Portuguese with French 😂😂😂😂
Sameeeeee😭
To me, Portuguese doesn't sound Russian at all, I was very confused and didn't know what to choose :D.
Guessed 4 out of them, but could define language families of like 3 or 4 of them.
That's about what I got too!
Okay, I'm a native Spanish speaker. I got tipsy and decided to do this. After Japanese, I got dissociated thinking about other things, then I remembered to pay attention when the second person was about to finish speaking. And from the half a second I actually heard, I thought RUSSIAN. I saw the answer and I was flabbergasted. I always heard people say that Portuguese sounds like a Russian trying to speak Spanish but never understood, to me Portuguese was just Portuguese. I can't say I don't get it now hahahaha second time I heard it I understood everything but I had an epiphany hahahaha
Considering it's EU Portuguese though, I wonder if I would have NOT thought it was Russian if it had been Brazilian Portuguese, since I'm much more exposed to it.
Okay I'm listening to the 3rd one and if it isn't Russian I'm gonna lose my fucking... marbles.
OMG I GOT HUNGARIAN RIGHT
Dayum I'm on a roll... got number 5 right, as well as 6 (I'm writing these as I get them, I'm so excited now hahahah), okay I see 3 stars so it can't be Turkish, so Kazakh? .... I got 7 wrong then hahahah I did hear "Iceland" and before the answer I was like "I'm wrong aren't I..." for 8 I have no clue tbh, sounds slavic but it can't be.... welp, still Indo-European LMAO xD, 9 has to be dutch, goddammit.... no longer on a roll, 10... Hindi?? :C not Hindi.... 11, this IS Kazakh right? ok this got too hard hahahahah, 12 everything sounds turkic to me, HOW does NAVAJO sound TURKIC to me?????? damn
I got 4 right xc so disappointed... I was happy drinking now I'm sadge drinkin
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, but after was total lapsus memoriae. Icelandic sounds like Swedish or Danish, Czech like Serbian or Croatian, Tuvan like Kazakh or Uighur, Punjabi like Hindi, Yiddish like one of German dialects, Kurdish like Persian, Navajo like Tibetan. Haha
🤓
??? Navojo sounds like Tibetan??? Idk Tibetan always sounds like Mandarin to me
Dude I guessed a lot like you, the easy ones I got right except for Hungarian. The rest I got really close. For icelandic I guessed Sweden, for Czech I guessed ukrainian because I had no idea, for Yiddish I said it sounds German but not quite German, and so on
icelandic is completely unintelligible from swedish or danish
Hey I thought Navajo was Tibetan too. And for Yddish I thought of Dutch because of German sounding words mixed with other influences.
I struggle to guess exact languages but I can accurately point out the region where the language is spoken when I hear to
Very difficult, just guessed a few 🙈
Most neutral sounding Japanese ever. I was expecting some more stress on vowels as I have heard in Anime.
I took a piece from the news program 😅
@@alinguae It's interesting. Anime is not a great benchmark, anyway. 😀
NAAAANNIIIII
The language spoken in anime is actually very unnatural. It's overly styled to make characters stand out and overly emotions. Nobody speaks like this in real life :) It makes Japaness chuckle whenever they hear a foreigner speaking Japanese that they had learnt through anime. The actual Japanese is very monotone. Listen to some Japanese interviews or street polls to get the feeling of it :)
anime has unnatural sounding japanese
Guessed the Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, I have talked to a Czech and I can even understand a big part of the words but I didn't manage to guess it except the language family of course, I guessed the language family of Icelandic and Kurdish too, thought that Yiddish sounds so German but not German
In the case of Kurdish, I thought it was Armenian...
My guesses (12/6):
01 Japanse - correct
02 Portugal - correct (sounds like Russian but with some Spanish-like words)
03 Russian - correct (sounds like Russian but without any Spanish-like words)
04 Hungarian - correct (my mothertongue)
05 Vietnamise - correct (sounds like ding-dong-king-kong)
06 Ukrainian - incorrect (I caught the word 'ukraine')
07 Icelandic - correct (Beacuse of the 3 stars I was also thinking of Faroese)
08 Afghan? - incorrect (I caught the word 'talabani')
09 Dutch - incorrect (a lot of German words but clearly not German)
10 Hindi - incorrect (I knew it was an Indian language)
11 ???
12 ???
My home town has some of the most Navajo speakers in the US, so I got that one right, but it is a struggling language because the young people aren’t learning it and the old people who speak it are dying.
i got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Icelandic, Kurdish, Yiddish, Punjabi right
-I speak Persian, Swedish, English and a little French +learning italian
I only got one answer right which is Japanese and I do speak Japanese 🇯🇵
@@sushruthsubramanya2196 The rest I got all wrong and there are some countries I never even heard of before
@@masonfremlin193 like which ones
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥why lie?
You don't speak Japanese if you love Nickelback and fucking Lincoln park, you're just a weaboo who "loves" Japanese culture and wishes he spoke Japanese.
You didn't recognize Portuguese???
i guessed Japanese,Russian,Kurdish,Punjabi,
I missed Czech (I knew it was west Slavic but I said Slovakian), Kurdish (Again, same area...I said Dari) and Tuvan (just had no idea).
Great stuff mate!
My guesses:
Japanese Ok
Portuguese Ok
Russian Ok
Hungarian Ok
Cantonese Close
Croatian Close
Estonian Not close
Turkish Close
Yiddish Ok
Hindi Close
Kazakh Close?
Greenlandic somehow close.
1/12, but at least in most cases geographical areas were guessed right 🤣👌
This was fun.
Proud of myself for correctly guessing Punjabi. Mention of Rajasthan pointed me that way, but it sounded Indian to me even before I picked that up.
I guessed Kazakh instead of Tuvan - I had the idea it was Turkic, and Russian-influenced, so I'm quite proud of that.
I correctly identified Russian. I got that Czech was a Slavic language. I had an idea that it wasn't Polish, so guessed Ukrainian.
Icelandic was recognisable; consonants have a distinct accent.
Navajo honestly sounded Celtic to me. I guessed Manx, as I didn't think it was Gaelic!
I guessed:
Japanese (I've watched enough anime to recognize it)
Portuguese (It's my mother tongue)
Russian (I'm not fluent, but I've heard russian in movies)
I got Hungarian and Russian and I thought Yiddish was the German they speak in Switzerland haha. And from more languages I thought that is was another language haha.
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Icelandic. I didn't guess right Yiddish but I knew it was a language from the German family. Also I hadn't heard about Tuvan but when I heard it I was like "It sounds like Turkish but it's not". (I have been learning Turkish for years, so I know.) But at least I knew it was a part of the Turkic family. I'm ashamed I didn't recognize Hungarian. I love this language. 😔

5 correct (Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech), 2 approximately (German instead of Yiddish, Hindi instead of Punjabi), in one case only the family (Tuvan).
vietnamese you could identify because of the "click sounds" they do with their tounge
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Kurdish, Yiddish, and Navajo. I knew Punjabi was South Asian but guessed Rajasthani when the guy mentioned Rajasthan. I also knew Tuvan was Turkic but ended up guessing Uighur. Funny enough I got Hungarian way wrong. I guessed it was a weird Armenian dialect or a member of one of the Caucasian language families lol
Me and my family decided to do this quiz and were very surprised about Navajo being on here!! I shocked us so much we had to make sure our ears were working 😂
Damn, this is expert level, man.
guess: Turkish
right answer: Icelandic
guess: something turkic
right answer: Tuvan

FINALLY A VIDEO WITH NAVAJO!! I LEARN THIS LANGUAGE
Bro. I am native Czech speaker. I am very confused about that we speak, Vietnames in Czechia 😂 also Bro I don't think that in Bosna and Hercegovina they speak czech etc... but I'm glad you added our language to the video! ❤
Here are my guesses:
1. Japanese.
2. Portuguese.
3. Russian.
4. Hungarian.
5. Cambodian.
6. Czech.
7. Icelandic.
8. Armenian.
9. Yiddish.
10. Hindi.
11. Yakut.
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Mexico.
As a native Hungarian, I find it pretty funny (no offense) that the most people guess for example greek or icelandic instead of Hungarian🤣 so that some people can't even guess it🤣 but congrats for guessing something else🤣👏
I got Japanese, Russian, Punjabi, Kurdish, Portuguese and Vietnamese right. The others were too similar to other languages from the same language family. Btw, I took Hungarian for a Central Asian turkic language.
Tipsy american here... the ones I got right were Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech, Icelandic, Punjabi
I got 3 😄
Japanese, Russian & Vietnamese.
I got Japanese immediately, then Portuguese, I had some doubts about Russian being either Russian or Ukrainian but still got it right, got Vietnamese, Punjabi cause that's my own language, Icelandic cause the newscaster said the word "Iceland"
Others were so not mainstream languages that I never would've guessed, also I confused Yiddish with High German 😂
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech, Icelandic, and Navajo.
Hungarian was very confusing, I wasn't sure what it was. Kurdish sounded a lot like Persian but not quite like it, and I ran out of time before guessing. Yiddish was a lot like German but I thought it would not make sense for German to be on Expert level and I ran out of time before guessing. Essentially all languages of northern India/Pakistan sound the same to me, so I guessed Hindi-Urdu for Punjabi because it is the most spoken. I thought that Tuvan was Kazakh or Kyrgyz, which is close but incorrect.
8 correct 😊 for the latest i didn't even try, never heard of that language before🙈 for the others i was slighty off
4: I got, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Yiddish, I thought Punjabi was Urdu, so I wasn't so far off. Mad at myself for not getting Japanese, I guessed Mandarin, sorry. The last one I guessed Kiribati, haha.
That was cruel to put Portuguese right before Russian lol
Yiddish sound just like German! I never was this confident and got it wrong before
I got 5 right Japanese, Russian, Icelandic, Vietnamese and Kurdish.
score: 5/12
1) Japanese 2) Romanian (Portuguese) 3) Russian 4) Estonian (Hungarian) 5) Vietnamese 6) Czech 7) Icelandic 8) Persian (Kurdish) 9) Danish (Yiddish) 10) Hindi (Punjabi) 11) Kyrgyz (Tuvan) 12) ?? (Navajo)
I'm not gonna lie to me, the Icelandic dude sounded like a Norwegian/Swede/Dane talking with a mouth full of marbles
0:37 japanese
1:13 portugese
1:51 russian
2:30 hungarian
3:34 czech
4:22 Icelandic
1. English/ hello how are you
2. Russian/ Привет, как дела?
3. German/ hallo, wie geht's dir!
4.spanish/ hola, cómo estás
5. Ukrainian/ Привіт як ти
6. Amharic/ሰላም እንደምን አለህ
I always like this type of game, guessing the language by listening to it, and I got totally surprised that the first one is my mother tongue 😁
Got right Japanese, Portuguese, Hungarian and Icelandic. Did not guess Russian but could guess that it's Slavic. Honestly, I find it very hard to distinguish between e.g. Russian, Ukrainian and Belarussian. I was almost sure that Yiddish was Dutch, although it kinda has a strange German feel to it.
Yiddish is a Germanic language, of course it has a German feel to it ;)
Not all Germanic languages automatically have a German feel to them, take most Scandinavian languages as examples. Yiddish is a very closely related language to German so it's easy to hear the similarity.
@@EchelonIV Well true, Scandinavian languages maybe don't have a very close feeling to High German but you can certainly recognize that they are Germanic languages as well as Dutch and Afrikaans for example. But of course Yiddish is the closest to German of them all .
bro this was hard asf
I got 5/12.
Portuguese
Russian
Vietnamese
Icelandic
Yiddish
I somehow confused Japanese for Korean and Czech for Polish.😂
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Tough one, but good! Some of those were fairly specific and sparsely spoken.
NAVAJO?! 😅
I just realised how punjabi is more known to world than any other indian language
Great
being russain, I confused portuguese and serbian, i didn’t expect that portuguese sounds so slavic and confused polish and czech (but i was close)
1. Japanese (Guess correctly because I studied Japanese in high school)
2. Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese distracted me a bit but when it said 'tres dias' I'm almost certain that it is Portuguese from the Europe)
3. Russian (Correct. No doubt it's Russian)
4. Blank (I have no idea as to where this language from but certainly has Europe vibe in it)
5. Vietnamese (Almost guessing Thai but its 'tong-tong' kind of rhyme suggest me that it's Vietnamese)
6. Certainly a Slavic language but wasn't sure so I go for Ukrainian
7. Icelandic (I guessed a Germanic vibe in it but wasn't sure until it said 'Icelandic', so I go for Icelandic)
8. It has Central Asian or Middle-eastern vibe but wasn't sure
9. Guessing Flemmish or Frisian language but I was wrong again
10. I'm almost certain that it's one of the language in India and I'm sure it's not Hindi and I go for Urdu but I was wrong
11. Just guessing that it's has mixed of Turkic and Slavic vibe in it but wasn't sure what language is spoken
12. I'm guessing either African language or Native American language and I go for the latter
Hindi and Urdu are literally just different dialects of the same language lmao
I got Navajo, Japanese Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese and also Yiddish because as a German myself it sounded similar but It didn't sound like any of the dialects
5 + my mother tongue, but none of the later ones😅
I got Russian Icelandic and Punjabi
Got them all
Senki:
Én: még mindig várom hogy Zsolt mit akart mondani🤓
I heard "iceland" at the icelandic part
I didn't guess Czeck (surprisingly), Yiddish (I always confuse it with Nordic languages), Kurdish, Tuvan (which is a shame cuz I'm from Russia) and Navajo.
The hungarian newscaster sounds extremely tired lmao💀💀
I thought Kurdish was a dialect of Farsi and was stumped. Such an interesting language.
i guessed around 5 but could identify some family languages
I smiled when the guy spoke kurdish
I am Czech, and I guessed right
Japanese, Portugese, Russian, Hungarian, Czech, Icelandic, and Navajo, and I fucked up on
Vietnamese (Tagalog), Kurdish ("something Turkic"), Yiddish (Flemish), Punjabi (Tamil), Tuvan (Khazakh).
Got them all but Kurdish (guessed persian), Vietnamese (guessed "somwhere in indochina"), Punjabi (guessed hindi), Tuvan (guessed "some kind of turkish") and Navajo (guessed greenlandic) So think I was pretty damn close! ;-)
I got two right wahahah
This map feels off for some reason. I got navajo russian and icelandic only
I guessed Japanese and Icelandic, except Russian which is my mother tongue ᕦᶘ ᵒ㉨ᵒᶅᕤ
Got it all right except of hungarian
I got all correct 👍🏼 😊🎉
My guesses:
1. Japanese
2. Italian
3. Russian
4. Turkish
5. Vietnamese
6. Czech
7. Danish
8. Hindi
9. Arabic
10. Kazakhstanian
11. Mongolian
12. Somalian
Atleast i guessed right continent.
okay, so here's my attempt (SPOILER WARNING):
1. japanese (CORRECT) - it's just sooo recognizable, there was no way it was something else
2. polish (WRONG - portuguese) - idk the way the reporter said certain constonants sorta reminded me of that
3. russian (CORRECT) - also pretty recognizable
4. hungarian (CORRECT) - guessed it INSTANTLY cuz I'm a native lol
5. thai (WRONG - vietnamese) - basically it was a 50/50 between thai and vietnamese, should've went with my gut feeling
6. czech (CORRECT) - we were definitely in the central european area, and it didn't sounded like polish, so it was either czech or slovakian, but mid-sentence I've just heard "ano" and "dobry den" and I was like "yup, czech for sure!"
7. icelandic (CORRECT) - gotta admit the first reason I've guessed that is because I've heard "icelandic lava" lol, but in my defense, it also sounded like if you were to mix norwegian and celtic together
8. yoruba (WRONG - kurdish) - i was way off...
9. yiddish (CORRECT) - it absolutely sounded like old german with a jewish accent, so it had to be that
10. urdu (WRONG - punjabi) - we were definitely on the hindustani area with this one... but there are a lot of languages in that area, and it wasn't hindi for sure cuz it would've been too obvious, well... it wasn't hindi, or urdu
11. armenian (WRONG - tuvan) - I really heard some russian and some turkic influence in it so I was like "somewhere in the caucasus"
12. ainu (WRONG - navajo) - That one was really hard for me, and I've really had no idea what it could've been
4:37 the person says "Iceland"
today i learned i am absolutely fucking horrible at this
I got Japanese, Russian, and Icelandic 😂
Thank you from Kurdistan ♥️
Got 5 of them
Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, Icelandic and Punjabi
Also got most of the families right, except Navajo i really thought it as a language from Middle East
Only got 5 (Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Punjabi) :P
There were too many clues in the language clips sadly, like the Yiddish one speaking about Nazis (I still guessed wrong and said Dutch lmao) or them saying the names of the country in the language. But still very interesting
Trust me nobody speaks czech in Romania
好難 😂
Funfact - Czech part is about situation in Ukraine and this is happening Now and this video is old 1 year
German with more "kh" sounds is basically Yiddish
Portuguese ✔
Hungarian ✔
Russian ✔
Punjabi ✔

Somehow mixed up japanese with Hindi and Yiddish with German 😂😂😂
