Can Romance Language Speakers Understand Each Other?
Vložit

- Today i got my friends from all over the world to see if we can all have a full on conversation! The only catch is that it has to be in their own language, but luckily we all speak a romance language, that should help right? French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish & Catalan all come from the Latin Language, we share the same common ancestor. I wanted to put it to the test, how similar are the romance langauges and can we truly have a conversation without hiccups?

I love how when the French start speaking the mutual intelligibility of Latin languages falls apart
French is like the least mutual intelegitable and the most different of the romance languages.
@@Seven71987 that and European Portuguese!
@@randomworkings3600 Portuguese is near to Spain, goofball.
@@Seven71987 But they speak like you have to be speedrunning your conversation, for me it's super weird.
@@alldiceoficial That is a note that English is clearly a Germanic language.
As an English speaker I understood the subtitles just fine.
😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Damn, that's remarkable !!!
There’s debate if English should be included in the Romance language category. Although it comes from Germanic it’s evolved that the majority of its vocabulary is more Latin than Germanic by percentage. The debate is on going.
English:🙂
Portuguese:🙂
Spanish:🙂
Catalan:🙂
French:🤨
Exacto
This is gold 😂
Exacto
Exactly 💯
french sounds so germanic
Romanian: I come for your blood
As a Portuguese speaker i found french the hardest and Spanish the easiest.
@Honest Manchester United Fan what do you want to learn ?
Yes, it is the pronunciation
Pra ser honesta, ainda consigo entender algumas frases em francês
I speak Spanish and i'm sorry but Italian sounds the easiest 😭
Portuguese is easier to read for me though
yo también jaja
As an Italian native speaker I would say:
1. Spanish is of course the easiest one. Very similar to Italian
2. Catalan is pretty easy too
3. Portuguese is pretty hard, but i could understand some words
4. (spoken) French is impossible to understand unless you have attended some classes
Ho fatto francese per 4 anni ma non ho capito quasi niente...
As a Brazilian i say the same, but with italian in 3rd place.
Actually French is the most similar to Italian in terms of vocabulary. Its pronunciation makes it difficult to grasp but if you listen to it having subtitles in French your level of comprehension would increase a lot.
Italian sounds amazing 🇮🇹❤️
As an Argentinian:
1. I speak and write Portuguese almost perfectly without attend any class.
2. Catalan is almost understandable at 100%.
3. Italian is pretty different but I understand more than 50% of spoken phrases.
4. French ⚰️☠️
I am French and I feel that speakers of other Roman languages understand French better when it is written. I think it’s our very different way of pronouncing words with many mute letters that make it difficult to understand.
Il faut arrêter avec cette histoire de lettres muettes, elles ne sont pas muettes pour la plupart. Le français de part une très riche phonologie fonctionne fortement sur les combinaisons de lettres pour faire des sons. Notre langue descend aussi des langues franconiennes et une des particularités héritées c'est que l'on a des voyelles fermées et ouvertes. Si les français étaient un peu meilleurs à l'école et si les professeurs n'étaient pas aussi médiocres (bons derniers des pays de l'OCDE je rappelle) ils sauraient qu'une voyelle change de prononciation dépendant du fait qu'il y a une consonne ou pas après cette voyelle. Aussi, il ne fait pas oublier les liaisons ente les mots qui font que le français de par ces consonnes qui font la jonction (liaison) entre les mots sonne très doux.
Yes because the pronunciation is so different than the others but it is written similar
@@carthkaras6449 bien dit, la plupart des gens ne font pas les liaisons correctement à l'oral.
@@RagtimeDorianHenry en tout cas, je n'écrirai plus jamais une longue réponse avec mon gsm. J'ai fait deux fautes, ça la fout mal...
Agree
As a spanish speaker I understood
catalan 99%
French 15%
Portuguese 70%
Italian 50%
Romanian is such a underrated romance language
As a romanian i must say Amen to that 😂
I can never find a Romanian 😣 I would love to add them to the videos!
Well, next timec i'm coming to Mexico i'll call you😂😂
@@RaulCamarena3 🙂Do you speak or have you ever tried to learn greek?
@@Otny-lr4xg add me on IG! @raulcamarena_ keep in touch!
Imagine if Latin just walked in, now that's the real test 😂
It has been done. There's a guy from USA called Luke Rainieri, that speaks Latin, and has videos showing how much Latin can Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian speakers understand
@@joselassalle4958is it classical.
Listening to Latin for us is almost the same thing as listening to Old English for you.
It seems like a very old version of our languages. I can imagine a ghost speaking Latin.
@@Seven71987yes
As a French native speaker 🇫🇷, this is my ranking based on my level of intelligibility:
1) Italian 🇮🇹 (I almost didn't have to make any effort, it's just so clear and melodic to my ears)
2) Portuguese 🇧🇷 (I'm biased because I actually studied Portuguese for a semester - If it had been Portugal Portuguese, maybe I would've ranked it lower)
3) Catalan/Spanish 🇪🇸 (Sometimes I understood the Spanish speaker better than the Catalan one, and sometimes it was the other way around, so I give them the same rank.
However, I'd like to point out two things:
1) French may be harder to understand for other Romance language speakers, but when spoken slowly, I'm sure the level of intelligibility goes up.
The French guy spoke really fast at the beginning and was looking for his words, it's normal that the others didn't get anything. Then, he slowed down, and it seemed like the others understood him better.
2) Il n'est pas nécessaire de parler anglais entre nous, nous pouvons très bien nous comprendre dans nos langues respectives, avec quelques ajustements pour le français ! 😁 Cette vidéo en est la preuve ! Vive les langues romanes !
Sorry, but french is very hard for a portuguese native speaker Imao.
@@redrum3001 as an Italian I understood 95% of the comment, the lexical similarity is high between Italian and French, but when French is spoken I can't understand more than 30%
Holy moly as a portugese speaker I understood much more when it's slowed down and especially when I read in French
french is a hard language
You're right! I'm Italian and I understand French pretty well if I read it, but if I hear it I understand maybe like 60% of it
As a Spanish speaker I understand
Portuguese 80%
Italian 60%
Catalán 60%
French 20%
It's weird that you understand portuguse more than catalan .
@@karimslimani6423 maybe because I have more exposure with the Portuguese language specifically “Brazilian Portuguese”
@@luelzone7474 i asked the question because catalonia is situated in spain so it would be normaly undersood better than any other languague
@@karimslimani6423 but spanish is spoked in more countries than only in spain.
o cara ficou pistola pq a brasileira disse q não gostou da comida mexicana e quis devolver falando de taxa de criminalidade do brasil KKKKKKKKKKKKK
De facto achei essa parte meio excessiva no contexto. Especialmente que sem dúvida México não é conhecido no mundo por ser o país da legalidade... então ele poderia ter dito mil coisas além disso.
@Big @ss Flower Pare de se meter onde não foi chamada pra falar de comida mexicana. O assunto não é esse.
E o irônico é que a taxa de criminalidade do Brasil é menor que a do México. Enfim, a hipocrisia.
@Big @ss Flower And what does it have to do with anything? Mexican criminality rates are just as welknown worldwide, so?
@Big @ss Flower Aggressive people? lol Brazil is known for their legendary soccer players, its unique nature, carnaval and music. Brazilians are known for being friendly and fun to be around. Brazil is indisputably the most relevant country in Latin America in every way, economically, politically, and geographically. The only relevance of Mexico is that it borders the US.
As a native french speaker, I’d say that Italian was the easiest to understand. Portuguese was definitely the hardest!
As a brazilian, I can understand french better when you guys speak slower. And I can read with minimum effort. But French is the most difficult among those presented.
@@LeonardoMenezes03 Have you tried Romanian, since it wasn't in the video. I listened to it on my own time and found it notably more difficult than French.
Portuguese don't like mute letters and words prounounced different of how it is written, that's why this language doesn't goes well with French XD
Yeah same for me i m algerian i speak french and english but among the other romance lguage i find italian the closest to understand i think its the closest to french ??
@@amrdel2730 I also have algerian origins. Born and raised in Belgium though.

Believe me, Romanian is as hard to understand for a Portuguese speaker as French is. And in the case of French, only the pronunciation is very different, when I read newspapers in French I can understand a lot. In the case of the Romanian, not even the words are known, almost nothing can be understood, neither listening nor reading.
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Interesting point of view!
Que interessante cara. Eu sou dos EUA mas meus pais são brasileiros então falou português, e eu acho que até da pra entender algumas palavras de romena. Mas só ler, escutar não consigo.
Hmm, I think that's a bit bs, sry... try this: czcams.com/video/FSwRoNtXdsE/video.html
Maybe u read something weird. For myself, I definitely find Romanian closer to Latin in pronounciation (and understanding) than Portuguese or Catalan for example... and Romanian writing is *very* similar to Spanish imo.
I think its because romanian has a lot of slavic and latin based words that are synonyms, just maybe used for different context/small different meaning. So it depends on the text that you read. But as a brazillian i agree, italian and spanish are easy while french and romanian are harder (in different ways)
As a Dutch guy who studied latin I was surprised how many words I could pick up just by listening to romanian.
Reading brought me even further.
Romanian sounds archaïc and beautiful to my ears.
🇲🇽Qual é a sua comida favorita do México?
🇧🇷-Nenhuma 😂😂😂
Im Italian-Canadian. 🙂 I speak English, Italian and French.
I understand Spanish more than Portuguese but some Portuguese words I get. Makes sense since they're all romance languages. 🙂
Awesome video! 🫶🏼💜
Everyone seems so sweet! 🥰
God bless everybody! 🙏🏻✌🏼❤️
Take care and be safe 🙂
Creo que todos anduvimos un poco confundidos con el francés 😂 ¡un video muy bueno!
J'ai compris tous les autres , comment ca se fait que vous nous comprenez pas ? D:
Graças a deus aprendi francês e português, se eu tivesse estudado só português, com certeza não ia entender porra nenhuma do francês kkkkk
@@Lostouille Ça doit être à cause de la prononciation je pense, y'a quand même beaucoup de liaison, d'élision, de lettres muettes etc. alors que pour les autres langues la prononciation c'est un peu plus lié à l'orthographe. Et je sais qu'il y a aussi certains mots qui sont incompréhensibles si on sait pas qu'il faut utiliser un synonyme--même le mot "mot" ils vont pas comprendre, mais "parole" est beaucoup plus facile (techniquement le mot "palabre" existe aussi, mais y'a personne qui dit ça hein)
I speak Spanish and I found Italian the easiest to understand, besides Spanish of course
i speak Italian and i can say the same about Spanish
I am Argentinian and Brazilian Portuguese Is the easiest to understand for me
"Brasil é muito perigoso"
Brasil para gringo = Rio de janeiro
Claro que vai ser perigoso.
E se você for ver o ranking das cidades mais perigosas do mundo, o México é o país que mais tem! Sem falar que a taxa de homicídio do México é mais alta que a do Brasil.
O Rio de Janeiro nem é uma das cidades mais perigosas do Brasil - por incrível que pareça. O que acontece é que o Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo são as cidades mais importantes do Brasil, em todos os sentidos, então sempre estão nos holofotes da mídia.

Ele pode ter se sentido ofendido pelo jeito que ela respondeu à pergunta sobre a comida mexicana. É o que parece.
as korean, im mesmerized by this video and yeah this video is so *UNDERRATED* 부럽다... although Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese have slight Chinese origin, we can't understand each other...
The closeness the languages you mentioned with Chinese are likely from the writing system Hanzi, Hanja, Kanji and Chữ Nôm. In addition Chinese loanwords into those languages.
The only one, that would be considered even related to each other is Korean and Japanese. Even with that they are distantly related, that they won't be mutually intelligible. While Chinese (Mandarin) and Vietnamese are not even in the same language family.
As a Spanish speaker (born and raised in California of Mexican parents). I understood the Italian speaker the best aside from Raul. This Italian speaker seems to have a more neutral way of pronouncing words. I would even argue his intonation appeared inflected by the neutral spoken Spanish in Mexico by living there so long.
I don't exactly know what you mean by neutral but he definitely has a remarkably southern accent, although I agree that he spoke generally quite slowly and clearly
California or Baja California?
@@HasufelyArod considering he said “of Mexican parents” I think he meant California, U.S.
It's because the phonetics/pronunciation of Italian is the closest to Spanish (with, maybe, the exception of Catalan, which I'm not familiar with). French pronunciation is the most complex, that's why it's so difficult to understand. I'm a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico (fully bilingual in English, which I learned at an early age) and I can tell you if you look at written Portuguese about 75% is intelligible with Spanish. Portuguese has a more complex pronunciation than Italian but if someone speaks slowly is intelligible for a Spanish speaker.
A me (sono italiano) sembra che abbia un accento meridionale (siciliano o calabrese)
J'adore cette diversité des langues romaines 😍. Moi, je ne comprends que le français,, mais je peux comprendre un peu d'autres langues également, à mon avis, le portugais est le plus difficile.
Yeah, i am a portuguese speaker native, but i think the French is very hardest too.
je suis américain et tout des langues étaient difficiles.

@@stupidvarietyhour Si sos un americano de Brasil entendés portugués y si sos un amerino de Quebec(Canadá) entendés francés y si sos un americano de hispanoamérica entendés español.

Crendeuspai
if you learn the phonological and some lexical differences of french and Portuguese as a spanish/italian speaker you'll also understand them pretty easily.
I think this applies to all of them, if you dedicate a couple of months studying each language you'll be able to catch most of the other languages pretty quickly.
As spanish speaker i can understand more french only reading
Some words of french is so easy to understand 'cause only use latin vocabulary, the sounds and the contraction of words have their dificult. But is more easy to understand french if someone know english and spanish

Haven’t watched the video yet but as a native English speaker with a slight background in Spanish who’s currently learning Spanish too my proudest moment was when I could understand Italian
Dude this is such a freaking cool experimental video!!!!! So cool to see them all talking around. Such a good job 👏🏼👍🏼👐🏼
It’s crazy how similar they are huh!!
Without studying , just listening to music and watching movies i understood Italian ! Super easy ! Good job Raul !
Thank you Stefan!!! That’s good bro!
I think this group talk is cool because you try to give-and-take each time. Usually I find videos where there is one language speker who does the main talk while the other ones only focus on whether they can tell the words or something. I think I like this setting, it looks just like you are sitting at the cafe and talk to each other. It's not just one-way but two-way.
Yes yes yes si si si oui oui oui

as a portuguese speaker from easiest to hardest
Spanish I understand everything
Italian 80 - 90 %
Catalan 20 - 30 %
French 10%
As a Spanish speaker (learning French + Portuguese) I found Portuguese the easiest just more fast paced and with some diff pronunciations and French was the hardest for me however because I find it hard to understand/communicate in French although I can read and write way better
This is gold my friend!!! Enjoyed it immensely!
I’m happy you enjoyed it!!
Went better than I expected! They really already started to get used to it after the first five minutes
imagine a world where speakers of a romance language could just understand speakers of other romance languages without having to speak it ?? man that would be sick
Than it would be like we in Scandinavia. Norwegian, Danish and Swedish are like 95% mutually understandable.
@@johnnorthtribe interesting... 95% of comprehension is really huge !! as a french I don't understand much of italian, portuguese of romanian, tho I understand a bit of spanish because I studied it in school. In my comment I was implying that a bit of effort from every romance speaker would be necessary to make it work, but it's not the case...

i really enjoyed this video!! and as a spanish speaker i also find french to be the most different/difficult among them all
Definitely

As someone who studied Italian for years why do i find Catalan easier and more understandable, like i literally understood most of her talk 🤯
As spanish speaker I recognize that the Italian it’s the easiest to understand because the pronunciation it’s really similar to Spanish, but as well Portuguese it’s more similar in writing to Spanish, so for the hearing Italian and for the writing Portuguese.
This channel is SO UNDERRATED
Hahah thank you :)
as a japanese speaker, i notice the 4 or more romance language speakers have possibility that their romance language will be recognized as one of the common languages on this planet if the romance language speakers start commonalizing the languages.
Interlingua
This came up on my feed, LOVED it !!!!!!! I speak english and Spanish, and im learning portuguese. French is the hardest to understand for me !!
Yes French is usually the most distant of the Romance languages but I would love to speak with a Romanian speaker! I heard Romanian is heard !
This was really interesting I’d love to see something like this with other language families as well to see the results
I want to see English speakers try to understand Swedish.
As someone who has a passenger understanding of spanish, italian seems to follow a very similar way of speaking, aside from the vocab the way the two languages are spoke with the comas and breaks and inflections. It similar enough and there are enough words that kind of overlap if you squint that i can make out individual parts.
This is great content! Love it
Omg dude this videos is sick🔥🔥🔥I really liked the concept of the video,it was so cool haha I don't know but this video made me proud of being a portuguese speaker,a latin language because it's easier to learn these languages

I would have loved to see a Romanian person here too. (I know they would be so hard to find!) Romanian has so many nearly identical sounding or spelt words to all the languages here, but it also haa a lot of difference!
That would’ve been nice. I watched a Romanian movie a long time ago, and to my ears (I’m Brazilian) it sounded like a mix of Italian and a Slavic language. Visually, after I did some research on the language, it looked like Latin, imo
Romanians would probably understand all languages but none would romanian
They all have differences between them. I don't think Romanian is more difficult to understand than Portuguese for example - but ppl are prob more familiar with Portuguese (they came in contact before), so that's why it may *appear* like Romanian stands out as more difficult/distant from the others.
When it's not, it's actually somewhere in the middle.
I’m Arab/Brazilian and I speak Portuguese and I can speak Spanish and Italian and I see there is great similarity between Spanish and Italian and Portuguese, And I find it difficult to understand French, but I think the accent is the reason, because I can understand French writin I also want to learn Catalan, which is very similar to Spanish

Tal vez el mejor video de este tipo que he visto, se debió a que todos los integrante tienen buena dicción, lenguaje neutro con pocos modismos (slang), buen nivel de conversación y fluida. El francés es el que tiene mayor dificultad para entenderse por la pronunciación gutural que lo caracteriza, el oído de personas hablantes de otras lenguas romances necesita habituarse a esa forma de pronunciar las palabras y al hacerlo, puede entenderlo al igual que los otros idiomas derivados del latín. Con gusto dejo mi like. Saludos
as a braziian the order from easiest to the hardest one for me was portuguese (obviously), french (I live in france), spanish (very similar to portuguese), catalan (somewhat similar) and italian (not so similar but I still could grasp like 50%)
when I see (ão) at any word . I can easily figure it out the language or the name is portuguese LOL
I loved the sound of it.
I also find french easier than italian for example and I live in Brazil. I think the problem with french is the same that with portuguese. The sound and the way you write some words are quite different from the others. Portuguese have ão, nh, lh.... and french eau, oux, ö... Once you know to reconize those sounds french is way easier. Same with portuguese.
I think Catalan is difficult because we don't hear it very often. Spanish and Italian are quite familiar. And French... well... it's undoubtedly the most different, but it's a very important language and everyone knows some words and expressions. I'm from Brazil.
Awesome 👏 As a galician(french descendant) I can understand all of them, glad to have such a multicultural family.
I'm so happy for you!! Multilingualism practiced in the family is definitely good. Much better than books. 😄😊
LOL THIS IS SO FASCINATING !!
I am italian, I can undestand very well Spanish and Catalan, Portuguese too, but the one of brasil; it is easier than the original, The problem of French is the pronunce, Anyway all these language, if written, are very easy to me, the romanian too.
You should do a video about different Spanish..like one from cuba, Dominican republic, mexico, Puerto Rican, Argentina an Spain. To see the differences in slang an dialect

Maybe it's because of the close relationship between spanish speaking countries and Brazil/Portugal, but I feel like Portuguese is the closest to Spanish. It's very easy to understand for me. I understood a little of Catalán and Italian, but not as much as Portuguese
Como brasileiro, espanhol basicamente cresci entendendo. Muitos produtos (especialmente materiais escolares) têm rótulos em portugues e espanhol, e na escola as aulas de espanhol ajudaram bastante a entender essa língua tão similar. Claro que tem muitas diferenças entre o proprio espanhol mas em geral creio que entendo bem :)
Mas imaginei que catalán seria mais próximo de espanhol/castellano que português haah
What I like about this video is that the way each speaker reacts to the other languages is "accurate". Like how they all struggle with the French speaker, how Catalan *should* be similar to Spanish but is different enough to cause some confusion, and so on.
Great video! I studied French, Italian, and now starting with Spanish, it was a little harder to understand the Mexican guy and the girl from Catalonia but Portuguese is just not understandable at all
for me the order of understanding the languages from easiest to hardest:
spanish
portuguese
catalan
italian
french
I was adopted from Peru and grew up 22 years in Chicago. Even I know you don't put pineapple in pizza it's an abomination. 😆 it's soo cool that they can understand each for the most part. Is it just me or does the Catalan language sound a lot like Spanish and Portuguese mixed up together?

It's very strange when you're learning Spanish and all of a sudden Italian and Catalan kinda make sense... going from only speaking English my whole life to now understanding another language and vaguely understanding languages I've never even studied is a wonderful feeling.
Soy Argentino y cómo acá en Argentina la mitad de nuestras palabras son italianas entendí casi todo y del portugués también (deber ser porque tenemos de vecino a brasil). El francés no le entiendo casi nada cuándo habla pero escrito lo entiendo bien
I'm Argentinian and here in Argentina we use a lot of italians word, i understood very well the italian, the same with the portuguese (maybe it's because we have to brasil as a neighbour). The french lenguague i don't understand almost nothing when he talks, but written i understand very well

As an Asian, It's hard for me to distinguish Catalan, Spanish, Italian & Portuguese. French is very different among these languages.
French sounds different bit still is very similar to other linguistically speaking
Because how you live in a Asian country that dont speak a romance language you couldnt understand what they was talking for me As a portuguese, spanish and english speaker I can understand really well even thought the French guy speak very hard
The intonation is VERY different, specially in Italian and portuguese.

I've been told by a bilingual BR Portuguese and Italian speaker who was studying French (in France) that when reading French, he pretty much understood around 70 to 90% depending on the topic but when it came to spoken French, he could only understand around 30 to 50% mainly because of his Italian since French pronunciation is very different from the rest of the Romance languages.
Really interesting video. First time hearing Catalan, and as a portuguese speaker it is kinda hard for me, but not as much as French.
Pra mim italiano eu entendo, francês eu não entendi uma única palavra kkkkkkkk
French is the odd (hard to understand) romance language. The others are easier to understand for me being Colombian. You forgot to invite someone from Romanian.
This is an amazing video
For me a Polish man who speaks English., some Italian, Rusian and some other slavic languages and Hungarian I must say the most difficult for me was Portugase and French.
