I’m Russian and your pronunciation of Russian word and names was incredibly good and way better than I could expect from a foreigner
In my experience, linguists tend to be extremely good at pronunciation, even if they can't speak much vocabulary.
@@travelsandbooks That's because linguists learn to use IPA.
@@travelsandbooks Some professional linguists are actually quite bad at pronunciation of other languages, because a lot of linguists don't focus on that, but instead on things other things, like English syntax or cross-linguistic semantics. I also think some people may just be better at it (or just more interested in it) for various reasons. I also sometimes wonder if people with some introduction to linguistics are discouraged or loose interest in pronouncing things when they learn about how ideas about "correct" pronunciations are pretty silly and the oft over-exaggerated differences adults have learning new sounds compared to infants (which I think are probably largely negated by learning phonetics and deliberately training ones ears).
@@travelsandbooks Cheru

Siberia has two seasons:
The Frozen Solid Season
The Mosquito Season
I live here, and we say jokingly: there is only two seasons here: 1)white winter 2) green winter
In Minnesota they like to say that there are only two seasons, shovel, and swat. Here in Saskatchewan, it is much the same, but with less snow and more wind.
In Stockholm there are only three seasons. Hot and cold and somewhere in the middle.
Saint-Petersburg has two seasons: warm rainy and cold rainy with rainy snow
Sasons in Dalmatia:
wind, sun, fire & rain
The rush you get when Nativlang cites one of your professors
Who was it?
Oh Wow! What a moment of pride
@@MarkBonneaux It might be Edward Vajda.
Now I wonder if he's cited any of my professors.
right? I should have expected it, Vajda won't shut up about Ket (his enthusiasm's so infectious) and yet...
@@dawenappu9310 I love his enthusiasm, as you say, it's so infectious.
Greetings from Siberia!
I myself native Russian speaker. Unfortunately, living here all life I've never met any native Siberian and as well never heard their language and didn't know anything about them, so your video was very useful for me.
The natives of my region speak Khanty and Mansi language and I was surprised to know that it's the same language family with Hungarian...
It’s called neo nazi Russian politics and imperialism that destroyed local culture, stole their lands and killed people.
@@MrApplehair should I feel guilty about it? I'm not responsible for what my ancestors did.
@@MrApplehair your comment is ignorant. What did have Russian Empire have to do with neo-n@zis? It existed even before the original n@zis. Also, funny to listen about destroying natives from a westerner. While in the USA >100 natives ethnic groups totally disappeared, in Russia, every single one, even significantly reduced in size, still exist
@@katyatrue3686 your ancestors probably were ok. Most of them were exiled to Siberia against their will, or came during Soviet times to develop industry in already extant Russian cities
@@KateeAngel My ancestors came to Siberia in 70s for large (compared to other regions of the USSR) salaries. Most people are like that.
That's a cool video

@@abbeyrhapsody3205 yes expect the Turks like you are aren’t ethnic turkics
@@Yrkr785 have you even searched the turkic history? our first ancestors were from siberia (this is the place where the first turks appeared and started to form little dynasties) then the oghuz branch migrated to the west (the gagauz turks, cypriotic turks, azeri turks, turkish turks etc) and today, westerns turks (for the Turkish and Cypriotics) have %70 ancient anatolian dna (such as lydian and etrusque and btw etrusque people are proto-turkish and it is stated) and %30 old turkic dna (siberian and central asian) also there isn't a thing called as "ethnic/true turk" bcos if you feel like you are a turk, then you are indeed a turk as Ataturk said. For example many Yakut Turks feel like they are Russian even though they are the Turks with one of the most Turkic dna. While The Anatolian (turkish) Turks feel like they are indeed Turkic, while they are the Turks with one of the least Turkic dna but this doesn't mean that they are not "turkic". Anatolian Turks both embrace their ancient anatolian and old turkic dna and are very proud of it.

Wow man. I live in Siberia and I've learned so much. Not only you nailed your Russian pronunciation, but also you've managed to pronounce something in Chukotkan! I couldn't help but become your patron.
Chukotkan is the branch of a language family, Chukchi is the language
This is the first time i've seen his face
He did a face reveal long time ago
@Amal That is true.
Tuvan, altai and khakas are also very important siberian turkic languages. They are official languages.
As a Hungarian its very painful to see how the Uralic languages (and ofc others) disappear :(
I agree. It's inevitable and eventually useful as communication becomes easier, but sad none the less. I hope we get a video on the family some day. As a Finn learning about Hungarian is facinating and I would love to know more about our eastern roots, the history of the family and what common remnants of languge we share today.
in the end you guys can hang out with turks)
I'm from America and learned a little Welsh and someone was walking their dog with his wife and was speaking Welsh and I tried to have a conversation with him and he said he was Manx and spoke Manx and never has spoke manx cause no one else does it is very sad to languages die out
True bros. Unfortunately, big powers love extermination. Think how America did to Red Indians, how Russia did to Siberians, how Australia did to Aborigines, how Arabs did to Amazighs and Copts, how Turkey did to Armenians and Greeks. So sad and so painful. I hope Hungarians will never lose its language. Greetings from your ally Poland.
@@luishernandezblonde not only America, also Canada, see the residential schools, also I think they don't like being called red and we'll their skin isn't even red
Your Russian is spot on. Very good, especially the tricky final B in Ob.
Also, so pleasing to see a reference to a paper by someone I went to college with.
Why is it considered tricky? Because it's voiceless?
@@tasse0599 it's "soft", i. e. palatalized. From my experience, it's hard for English speakers to pronounce this type of consonant.
But my friend, ob is not a slavic name anyways, in fact a few places and cities east of nizhniy novgorod have slavic names
@@armincal9834 absolutely. Historically not Slavic. But we still use it in Russian. Like Manhattan, historically not an English word, but now a geographical name in English.
@@imokin86 Ah, ok, so it's spelled Обь in Russian. I assumed it was spelled just like the preposition. I knew, that some consonant sounds in Russian become unvoiced, when they appear at the end of a word, just like in my native language of German, e. g. падеж-а /ʒ/ -> падеж /ʃ/ or an example from German: Bad-es /d/ -> Bad /t/.

@@adonaiyah2196 Central Alberta, Canada
Same. West Siberia.
I saw Australia there. I would love to see you address it one day. There are so many Aboriginal languages, sadly they are extinct or severely endangered. They are beautiful and diverse languages with a fascinating culture
There needs to be movies or games set in the Russian empire. It was crazily diverse and had the weirdest politics of anywhere in the world.
The dead ideas podcast did a good series on serfdom, and for their story telling section they told the lightly fictionalized tale of a serf that ran away to work the Ukrainian oil fields where he was kidnapped by Turkish and caucasian rebels. They even described a card game that is played by the descendants of Ukrainian immigrants to the region in which I live, durrok.
Too bad communism happened huh?
@@horacegentleman3296 Not really communism, more like the Russian nationalism that accompanied communist rule. Similar things happened all over the world in the early 20th century, just look at what happened in the Ottoman empire for example.
@@Jacob-yg7lz is this a "but that wasn't real communism" argument? I mean I do agree it doesn't matter if it's a left boot or a right boot on your neck you still can't breathe. Authoritarianism is destructive.
@@horacegentleman3296 I never said it wasn't true communism. I agree, authoritarianism is destructive, especially when mixed with nationalism.
8:48 your pronunciation of chukchi language is so good. I am Chukcha but i dont speak my language. I heared it from my grandma many times.
Do most people speak Russian in Siberia then? It's really interesting to hear
@@organicenglishanne There is a lot of nationalities in Siberia, everyone speak Russian, also they speak their own language and in schools can learn it more.
My family descents from the mansi people & I wasn’t able to learn a lot of the language that my great grandfathers mother thought him. It was very beautiful and I hope to learn and discover my roots as I go. This was an amazing video! I hope more people watch this and become educated on Siberia . Thank you!
the Khanti and Mansi are linguistically the closest relatives to the Hungarian, closer than Estonian, Komi of Finish. That's why it is beliefed that the West Siberian swamp taiga is the original homeland of the Hungarians, from where they started migrating away about 2000 years ago.
@@ekesandras1481 *or Finnish.
Siberia is actually one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world
that is in amount of languages spoke per 1mln of ppl
But as long as Putin maintains in power, the Siberian natives would have no chance to develop or take pride of their languages.

I'm just waiting for the Nativlang/Lanfocus/Biblaridion/Artifexian/Jan Misali ultimate language nerd crossover episode
I swear, your videos always seem to make time disappear, and never fail to leave me with a smile.
I’ve been fascinated with Siberia for a while now. I feel like most people don’t realize how vast it is, not just west to east, but also north to south. There’s so many natural wonders, nature, different cultures, animals, beauty, and enough land to make a continent of its own but all anyone seems to think is that “its all just cold.” I’d really love to see some of it for myself one day.
Relating to this topic (more specifically Yupik) I’d be intrigued to see an animation on the Inuit languages from east Siberia all the way to Greenland. I’ve been studying them myself and have found their relations and history amazing. Thanks for the great video!
Oh, Siberia. My second home.
Stranger on the internet: "Where are you from?"
Me: "I'm from Serbia"
Stranger on the internet: "Oh, isn't it cold there?"
😂😂😂
thank you so much for talking about my homeland with such passion) and for doing away with that 'constant cold' myth xD actually, this spring was so much warmer in my hometown near Krasnoyarsk than it was in Moscow.
I have Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk on the weather app on my phone just to see how cold it gets in the winter and how hot it gets in the summer
I'm an American but I lived in Krasnoyarsk for a little while. I miss it, it's such a lovely city. Это мой русский дом)))
I was living in north of Siberia all my childhood. Unfortunatelly we were never tought the locals’ language (Nenets in my case) - what a shame :( I can only say “hi” in Nenets and that’s it.
Hm... I know someone who teaches Nenets
I was never taught the language of my ancestors but I have started to learn it. Lucky for me, there are online classes. Best of luck to you.

I thought an wide area with little in the amount of people would make them more isolated and therefore increase the amount of languages or dialects in the area.
Maybe it is the fact that most live in the same area in the south.
I think this "fewest languages per area" statistic is just because Siberia is so large with so few people. Even with considerable linguistic diversity between the communities, comparable or even bigger than the diversity between equal amounts of people elsewhere, the area is so incredibly huge, that it averages out at only a few languages per km2.
@varana312 My thoughts, exactly.
The amount of "languages per capita" is actually rather high in Siberia. Even before the Russian expansion, many languages only had a few hundred or thousand speakers. It's just that there are really *that* few people in the region.
I found a grammar of Chukchi a few weeks ago and it’s really cool, it resembles Mohawk because of all the noun incorporation madness!!
I think it's really cool finding similarities between Siberian/East Asian languages and those of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, really lends significance to the once existing land bridge between Siberia and Alaska.
yeah typical polysynthetic lang :)
I'm rewatching it, because technically, it's a new video, and I watch all your new videos!
As I run into your channel for the first time, it's been extremely satisfying to hear all those proper nouns pronounced absolutely correctly. In particular, Kamchatka nearly drove me extatic.
The International Phonetic Alphabet really helps with pronunciation
By far one of my favorite channels. I miss the regular uploads
Your videos routinely go well over my head, but I love watching how you explain them, and I'm sure more knowledgeable people than me can vouch for the quality of the research itself.
8:25 that counting system is very similar to Japanese. You have different ways of counting round objects, flat objects, long objects, people, money, etc.
that’s not so surprising seeing how close it is to Japan :)
Yep. I still remember my brain exploding, when I first heard of that Japanese counting system in the 10-part ”documentary-series”, ”Nousevan auringon Kajo” (”The Gleam of the Rising Sun”), being a Markus Kajo -fan 🤯.
thats classifier
The fact that you pronounce the words and the names in every topic language the way they are pronounced by natives and not in that atrocious american accent is one of many reasons i religiously follow this channel.
I am German and normally Germans try to pronounce as accurately aa as possible. Not always successful.
That's the magic of the International Phonetic Alphabet
"atrocious" selfcentered, much?
Warm greetings from Sakha! (Or Yakutia) thank you for such an informative video :) I’m grateful for popularizing such a diverse heritage we have in these seemingly empty lands!
I am from Siberia and I maybe knew 10% of this. Thanks!
Where from Siberia?
I'm happy to see you cover us native arctic ppl and our languages. Nenets here. Sadly never learnt my mother tongue, but plan to try eventually
These are some of my favorite videos. I adore the fact that they are animated.
Oh, this video is such a pleasure to watch! Your pronunciation is quite good!
It's a pity the video is only 10 minutes long. I hope we'll see more stories about Siberian tongues!
Hello from Yakutia! 👋
Your channel makes me so so happy this is the kind of thing I get excited about and no one gets it!!! I would take a whole class on just this topic if I could
I seriously can't get enough of these videos. I wish they could be longer! But I understand if the animation is too laborious
Your quality content is appreciated even more during quarantine. Hope you’re well, and thank you!
Making plural the default makes a lot of sense to me, things are called single because they're being singled out from a group, and referring to a thing apart from its singular instances is necessarily referring to a plurality.
Fantastic animated story about the cultures of such a vast and varied part of the world. Thank you, Josh!
This is fascinating!
Thank you so very much!
7:08 The Yeniseian-Dene language connection was interesting. I've always been interested in the Siberian connection to the languages of the Americas.
And the Ainu in Northern Japan.
@@cyclpiancitydweller9517 No linguistic connection found with other languages, Ainu appears to be an isolate. But Ainu-related peoples might have migrated along the coastline to the Americas, leaving behind some limited cultural and genetic contribution.
I remember reading someone proposed a Nivkh-Algic relationship, so there's another one for ya
@@larshofler8298 also a genetic trait in Javanese people, as of now tho no known connections with the language not sure if austroasiatic has retroflex or Kawi got it from mix era influence of sanskrit retroflex and madurese also has it so yeah thats far like up to the end of java from india

@@Sirzhukov Yeah, that is true. Also, so do I.
So cool and thank you for covering these languages.
So excited to watch this video. Huge fan of your stuff, love how much work you put into all your videos
also, NativLang as a Siberian Russian I would say we don't speak the Northern Govor, mostly it's the mix of all dialects and for the most part people speak the literature variant (the thing is during 60-80s there was a really big migration to Siberia for the construction of giant industrial complexes, also in Siberia you could get more earnings so the people from both Russian SFSR, Ukrainian SSR and Belorussian SSR moved to Siberia)
Well, then I get the chance to tell you again how awesome your videos are! I've been following this channel since the Toth's Pill series. I'm pretty sure you'll eventually go back to my beloved Mesoamerica and expand more on its linguistic diversity.
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
Diolch, enjoyed as always, keep up the hard work!😙
It's not all isolated though. Novosibirsk is the third largest city in Russia.
South of Siberia is populated, yes. But to the North of Trans-Siberian railroad it will be hard to find a city (Norilsk and Yakutsk, and that's probably it), and it might take you many days before you drive from one village to another
Interesting, thanks for the geography discussion.
@@denalihedgehog Question, is Russia going to developed its Far East? Like build a huge city in existing cities? I'm curious....
@@denalihedgehog if you say "drive", then there is a road suitable for cars. In the places where such roads exist in Siberia, the settlements are situated along them and it's rather several hours of driving from one to another.
Saskatchewan Canada has that exact same temperature variation, lived it the last decade, I'd know lol. -54C is the coldest I've seen.
90% of Canadians live in the south of the country. To be honest, it upsets me because I live in the far north of Russia and I want more people to suffer like me lol
Appropriately enough, the climate of most of inland western Canada is basically exactly the same as the climate you find in Siberia. Tons of similar species too, you could probably get dropped in one forest or the other and have quite a challenge figuring out which continent you were on until you ran into someone to talk to.
@@TheSpadaLunga Shout out from a 10% person. Latitude can be a bit misleading though, some southern Canadians in the prairies have way colder and harsher winters than we have in the Yukon.
I thought the same thing. I was like "Oh! Just like the center of north America!"
@@yukonexpatriate4017 By the way, this winter in Russia was abnormally hot. There was almost no snow in Moscow. I was there in January and the weather was the same as in the summer in the place where I live. How was it in Canada?
There's nothing better than a Nativlang video to take your mind off a lockdown. Watching your videos, I always just instinctively feel like I'm in good company. Thanks for sharing your passion - it's infective ;)
I literally love your videos so much; it's great learning about languages I didn't even know existed until now :))
Can you tell more about that counting system? And it would be interesting to have a whole episode about numbers in general!
Love these vids! Keep it up!
Glad to see you back again!
What a great topic, thank you!!
It would be nice if you could also talk about the Saami languages of Northern Scandinavia in a separate video perhaps?
I live for the amazing and cute animations, and the great knowledge that you teach with them. Subscribed!
Thanks a bunch for your effort and love for language. I'm always looking forward to your videos.
I live right on Amur river, but all the languages I've heard is Chinese, from Chinese people working in here, and actually I've met one native belorussian. And according to linguistic map of Siberia, that we learned from school, the entire area around Amur river is populated by Russian speakers, with small villages that speak other east slavic languages, like Ukranian. That got me thinking, that maybe Xibe and Nanai languages have almost or completely died out.
They possibly might just speak their own native language in private/at home/with family and just use "Chinese" as a lingua franca in business dealings.
@@ANTSEMUT1 Nope, actually Chinese speak Chinese with friends and family but trying to speak Russian at work because obviously Russian speakers do not understand Chinese. I've actually searched a little bit and it turns out that these languages are still alive but there are only few thousand native speakers left and they live in very remote areas.
@@dorny3525 ooooh, anecdotally though a lot of ethnic Russian people i met while studying in Auckland New Zealand could speak Mandarin fluently.

I loved this where you describe an entire area's linguistic diversity rather than a particular language family.
I have some suggestions that you might want to look into:
The northeastern part of India, so many language families, languages and dialects, I'm sure you'll be interested to dig in (Sino-Tibetan, Thai Kra Dai & so much more...)
There's also the south Asian region which is in continuation to the previous region including South China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia etc
Then there's the famous Papua New Guinea! I'd love to see all this!
Also maybe subcontinental India? 😁😅
Anyway love your work!

@@wtc5198 I also adore Chukchi, the ł sound sounds very similar to the ł sound in my language(Inuktut, specifically the paalliq dialect in the Keewatin area of mainland Nunavut) maybe it stayed as an archaic mechanism while our thule and Sivullirmiut ancestors crossed the Bering strait into Alaska and Canada?

Quite a fascinating region. I love the huskies from there. I really want to visit. Russia is so vast and has lots to offer
I feel you are a team of people, because there's no way one person comments so much!
Huskies didn't just come from Siberia, a lot of Husky breeds were developed in North America too! Although if you go back a few tens of thousands of years, everyone native to North and South America was, at some point, a Siberian.
Do come and visit Russia when the pandemic is over!
@@sion8 i feel like i`m subscribed to Avery`s comments
Yes sion I’m pretty sure that must be the case too.
The mechanism appears to be that nouns are fundamentally thought of as ''mass" -the singular then becomes the derived form "one of those"
now this is interesting! Thanks!
I hope that this is a sort head's up about what you're working on. Each of these languages/language families would make a great video.
I'd love to see you go deeper into Japanese, Italian and the history and diversification of English.
With that last one, less on the pronunciations and more on the differences in vocabulary and colloquialisms between Posh, Cockney, Australian, Kiwi, Canadian and the 3 unique dialects in America (New England, Texan and Hawaiian).
