As a Sardinian I am very sad that my language is getting replaced by Italian. I mean I don't have any problem with Italy and I actually like being part of such nation, however I wish Sardinians would return to speak a little more their native language, myself included.
Anyway this video was beautyful and very detailed. It's fascinating how a small language spoke in the planes of Venice has generated one of the largest language families in the world, and even got to influence others.
è la stessa cosa con tutte le altre lingue d'italia, con la Sardegna in particolare perchè il Sardo è forse la più antica e preservata in maniera più intatta, ma io che sono Siciliano la penso allo stesso modo.
@Emiliano allora de iure il sardo è tutelato ma il massimo che l'italia fa e non cercare di eliminarlo definitivamente (anche se di fatto sta accadendo) ma è anche colpa di noi sardi che quando abbiamo scritto il nostro statuto autonomo a differenza della Sicilia ci siamo andati troppo piano e di fatto è come se non avessimo uno statuto speciale. Il problema è che il sardo non è una lingua unitaria, esistono il Campidanese, il Logudorese e il Gallurese che a loro volta si dividono in dialetti molto variegati (già noti grosse differenze tra casteddaio e quartese e parliamo di zone a pochi chilometri di distanza) quello che bisognerebbe fare sarebbe valorizzare ognuno la propria versione del sardo magari mettendolo come materia vera e propria nel programma delle elementari ma soprattutto favorendolo nel linguaggio quotidiano. Non do la colpa della lenta sparizione del sardo all'Italia, o almeno non del tutto, ritengo che lo stato italiano, ma anche e soprattutto noi Sardi, avremmo dovuto fare di più per valorizzare questo patrimonio linguistico e se mi è concesso farei lo stesso anche per le altre regioni con i rispettivi linguaggi e dialetti (naturalmente l'italiano dovrebbe rimanere una lingua conosciuta da tutti sennò finiamo come l'Austria-Ungheria)
@Emiliano allora su alcune cose devo chiarirmi
Quando diche che il sardo si divide in Campidanese, Logudorese etc intendo che queste sono vere e proprie lingue che però comunemente vengono identificate come una sola (come per serbo e croato ad esempio) ma non sono dialetti. Sono lingue a tutti gli effetti, intelligibili tra loro ma fino ad un certo punto. Per quanto riguarda letteratura concordo, è grazie allo studiare la letteratura italiana che ritengo che almeno penisola e Sicilia dovrebbero rimanere unite (la Sardegna oltre a Bolzano è l'unico territorio che secondo me avrebbe veramente motivo di staccarsi nonostante io preferirei una soluzione federale alla secessione)
@Emiliano come ho già detto nella prima risposta la nostra autonomia non è chissà che cosa. Anche perché noi sardi non ci siamo decisi a fare uno statuto autonomo serio come invece hanno fatto siciliani e alto adesini.
@Emiliano guarda io la vedo dura non solo per la Sardegna ma per tutta Italia. Certo spero che la situazione si sistemi ma dovremmo tornare a 40 anni fa per poter mettere le cose apposto in maniera decente
Sardinian is the only language here that just kind of hangs out for 1700 years
Unfortunately the author of the video didn't mention Old Corsican, which was a language from the same family (and was completely replaced when Pisa took control of Corsica).
Riccardo Pibiri how do you translate “d’anti segau”? because the rest of the sentence is almost the same in romanian.

Second, nobody switched to "Latin" language, otherwise Romania would be known today as the sole country in the world where Latin is being spoken as a primary language.

Romania is like that weird eccentric friend in the group. Not only is Romanian the only major Romance language in the east, but Romania is the only Romance language speaking country that is orthodox (if you don’t count Moldova, which is part of the old historical Romania) and does not shores at the Mediterranean. It’s also the only romance speaking country around the Black Sea, which is a truly fascinating and rich in history region. Also the only country that kept the name of Rome in it.
I wonder when Moldova was part of historical Romania? Maybe part of historical Moldova is part of Romania? They pour slop into your head at school. The language is Romanian, but calling Moldova part of historical Romania is nonsense. Romania is Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania. But not Moldova this is Romania. I understand why your state does this, but from a historical point of view, this is how history turned out. You have a big beautiful state, you love it. We have a small one and we love it just as much. But historically our paths have diverged for 200 years ago. Part of Moldova, moved away from the Ottomans of the Russian Empire, after 50 years the Romanian state was formed from Moldova and Wallachia. We received our independence 30 years ago, and we value it. When you say that Moldova is Romania, you become the same as the Russians who They say that Ukraine is Russia, although they were together for 300 years. But you and I are not. Only 20 years of your occupation at the beginning of the last century. We love our country and value our independence. We are glad that the very close, fraternal country of Romania is next to us. But don't act like that.
@@MarsowMusicKontakt Being pro-russian is not an escuse to be also an 1d10t! You can take your "independence" and shove it up your a$$! You cannot be "independent", because - 1. you have no resources (of any kind), 2. You have no energetic industry, 3. You have no heavy industry, 4. You have no army what so ever, 5. Even so little and poor you are not ruling all your teritory - see Transnistria and Gagauzia!!!! SO!!!! You decide ..Russia or Romania.... For us, we don't give a f..k, but we would prefer to see you happy, a little bit ritch and safe inside NATO and EU!!!! And this is possible here and now in only one way! Rest... are fairy tales!!!!! MOLDOVA ESTE ROMANIA, FRAIERE!!!!!
@@MarsowMusicKontakt "Moved away"? Don't talk like it was ever a voluntary thing. Russians and the Ottomans split historical Moldova in half by conquest, Basarabia never had a say in the matter, what was left of Moldova formed Romania and reclaimed the land in the 20th century (with the support of the Basarabian government itself) before the Russians invaded again in 1940, they crippled your land into dependency to them and the only thing that gave you independence was their internal collapse.
If your ethnic bonds with us have grown distant and you want to forge your own path into the future I think that's respectable, I would only want a union that has mutual consent, but there is nothing wrong with saying the land was historically Romanian since it belonged by right to the Romanian principality of Moldova and is still inhabited mostly by Romanian people as a result.

It's not really changing though, it's more of a constant evolution. Like how Gallo-romance evolved into French.
@@Dylems French is probably a lot more diffrent to the Latin spoken in Gallia, nowadays French has a not so overwhelming amount of majority Latin vocabulary, has celtic roots that predates the gallo romance language, and also has germanic frankish
If romanian is a mix of slavic and Latin, then French is a Latin person wearing a lot of germanic clothing

A little inaccuracy: Venetian dialect and Italian didn't disappear from Istria starting from the XIX century, as suggested in this video. Italians continued being the majority of the Istrian population in the western side of the peninsula up until 1947, when Istria was ceded to Yugoslavia after the Second World War. Italian is still a minority language in Istria today, and almost all cities and towns in the western coast have bilingual signs (Slovenian/Italian or Croatian/Italian).
@NightShade theWolf Istrian dialect it is olso close to romanian
Correct. However, somewhere between 10th and 15th century, the Venetian dialect replaced the original Rhaeto-Romance dialect when Venice conquered Istria, which this map also does not show.
In Istria we have and istro-romanian, similar to romanian. Morlaks were people that lived in Dinaric mountains and migrated to Istria
Sad that dalmatian also totally went extint after italian had to flee from Zara and Cattaro. Those were the last stronghold of the language.

To those who say English is a Romance language and should be included because more than half of the vocabulary is Romance, I challenge you to construct a cohesive and understandable sentence in English using only words that are Latin in origin.
Sans doubt possible.

@@thedstorm8922 ikr... the hypocrisy
Looking at the degree of separation from Latin, French and Portuguese are the furthest removed from Latin. French has strong Germanic influences and boarders Germany. Anyone know why Portuguese is the second most removed Romance language from Latin?:
In a study by linguist Mario Pei (1949), the degrees of phonological modification of vowels of the Romance languages with respect to the ancestral Latin were found to be as follows[13][14]
Sardinian: 8%;
Italian: 12%;
Spanish: 20%;
Romanian: 23.5%;
Occitan: 25%;
Portuguese: 31%;
French: 44%.
Portuguese has a strong celtic influence in its phonology - plus the phonological change that European Portuguese suffered ~by the XVIII century, which the brazilian variety of the language hasn't passed through.
DeltaME in what way in the 18th century did European Portuguese change?
@@ntrakstudio Vowels, mainly.
That's why some people say european portuguese sounds like a russian man trying to speak spanish or something.
Brazilian portuguese kept most of the """"original"""" vowels phonologies and is still a more syllabe-timed variety of the language - although in the consonants, innovations are well noticed, and in that regard, european portuguese is more conservative.
@@ntrakstudio The specific cause of the change?
I don't know. I'm not an expert on the subject or a linguist, by any means. Just an enthusiast.
However, what I said before is a well-known fact, even documented. You can read about it a bit more here (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Portuguese#Differences_in_formal_spoken_language). Despite being Wikipedia, where everyone can make changes, this article is sustained by solid fonts.
DeltaME I don’t know the answers either but I have for a while contradicted claims that state Brazilian Portuguese is the language that preserved the original Portuguese, not European Portuguese. But how can it be that Brazil, a Portuguese colony like Angola, Mozambique, and others, have preserved the language when it’s well know that the dialects of colonies are influenced by the native population and other immigrants? I think it’s more well known that The dialects of these colonies took on influences from the Native tongue. We know that Indigenous natives and Africans were in Brazil, we know Africans were in Angola and Mozambique. Portugual in no way had a minority population at the scale of one of the Colonies.
And so the theory is that the county of Portugal, in which the language was born in, has evolved the most? No I think not
French is still wildly used in Northern Africa, if only as the main second language. In morocco for instance, you'll find more french signs than Tamazight, one the official languages.
Moment of silence for my African Romance homies who didn’t make it out 👊😔
No se los considera a los Africanos ya que en África más se habla inglés 🤷.

The moment you realize that Romanian is older than all the slavic languages of today! And is time to keep the language alive! 🇷🇴
Don't speak nonsense.
@@stefanxful we borrowed a lot of slavic words too during the centuries
All languages are equally old. What you're referring to is only the name.
Romanian is not the oldest slavic language, nor is it a slavic language. Its syntax is latin-based, therefore it is a romance language.
@@stefanxful It is true. Look at the Vatican records from the library!
My mother tongue is Albanian and I study Spanish, I have also learned Italian and French at school. I recognised many similarities, although Albanian has its own branch. We have a lot of Latin words (from Vulgar Latin) but with the years the phonetic of these words has changed a little bit that's why you can't hear the similarity at first
I only "know" one albanian word, kater or something like that (meaning four). Does have similaritys to "cuatro" (spanish) and french is quatre, isnt it? But one can recognize many numbers in the indoeuropean languages.
I'm an Italo-Albanian, and i think we are very related eachother.
If i have to choose the most similar culture to the Latin one without counting the Romance ones it will be surely the Albanian or the Anglo-Saxon one(The British Vocabulary is very similar to the Italian one!)
@@Tortellobello45 th English vocab ;)
On the one hand I dislike English being such a mishmash of romance and germanic languages, but I have an interest both in Swedish and Spanish, so knowing English helps with both :D
@@aramisortsbottcher8201 The word for "four" in Albanian it's "katër",and of course it has a common root with Spanish "cuatro" for example, being an Indo-European language.

*PortuguÊs
Great comment but two mistakes are that in the Romanian phrase there are repeating words with the same meaning
Mărețiea/Grandoarea mean the same thing: Greatness
Dura/Dăinui also mean the same thing: To Last
Did you write it yourself or took it from a site?
The correct sentence with the most artistic significance would be: Grandoarea Romei va dăinui pentru eternitate.
Hope I helped

5-Por lo visto el Mozárabe solamente existió durante el tiempo que los musulmanes dominaron la Península Ibérica mientras que el Dálmata era más que nada un dialecto del Italiano que sobrevivió por siglos y siglos.
6-El "Italiano Estándar" moderno absorbió a la gran mayoría de los dialectos de la Península Itálica, el Francés viene cometiendo genocidio lingüístico-cultural contra el Occitano y el Arpitano al menos desde los tiempos de la Revolución Francesa mientras que el Español, el Portugués, el Catalán y otras lenguas romances similares conviven sin mucho problema en la Península Ibérica.
7-El Rumano está bastante expandido por su país pero sin embargo el Arrumano y otros idiomas y dialectos similares emparentados estrechamente con el Rumano están demasiado esparcidos por los Balcanes sin tener un núcleo duro grande en donde los "arrumanos" o como sea que se le llame a ese pueblo sean una mayoría notoria por encima de los pueblos balcánicos no romances.

Pannonia was inhabited by Dacian tribes and Getae from the European Thracians.
The Macedonian-Aromanians, or Aromanians (also known as "Macedonian Romanians", or "Macedo-Romanians", or "Macedonian-Vlachs", or, more popularly, "Macedonians") are - according to official specifications -, along with Daco-Romanians, Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians , a branch of the Geto-Dacians descending from the Pelasgians. We are the same ancient people but we have developed in different geographical areas. They are under various foreign occupations and train in closed communities. that is why their language has remained archaic. It is the ancient language spoken by the Thracian tribes of Europe. But we are the same ancient, genetically proven people. Romanians (the name Romania is from 1866 - that's why we call ourselves romanians but we are Traco Dacians and Getae . The Macedonians (Aromanians) and Megleno-Romanians are the ancient Pelasgian-Thracians , relatives of the Romanians.

Much is known about the true history of Europe, so there is a lot of confusion. The Getae - later the Goths and Dacians, a branch of them, were the primordial and largest people in Europe. That is why they influenced Europe geopolitically and linguistically. During the reign of the King Burebista, the kingdom of Dacia extended as far as Germany and far to the north. These explain Dacia's voice in Europe. Even more unknown things. Shocking.
El 6 esta mal
Conclusiones poco acertadas.
El italiano moderno se basa en el dialecto toscano de 1200 y no ha absorbido la mayoría de los dialectos de la península italiana.
Entre 1060 e 1070 o francês era bastante usado na Inglaterra, seu uso se tornou ainda mais extensivo no período em que aquela nação foi controlada pela Dinastia Plantagenet, na minha opinião foi um erro não ter usado o Anglo-Normando no vídeo, mas ele continua ótimo da mesma forma.
Acredito que outro erro tenha sido mostrar o Latim se compartimentalizando já ao final do século V, ao passo que na verdade até o século IX (ou talvez o século X) era inteligível para a maioria dos habitantes das ex-províncias romanas ocidentais, havendo o Francês sido o primeiro a se separar efetivamente do restante nos séculos X e XI.
@@clovispadilha3237 no, apparently by the 4th century you would start to hear minor differences in some of the dialects of vulgar latin, and by the 5th Century, the vulgar latin spoken in Italy sounded like a form of proto Italian, with the 'ch' and 'zh' sounds that latin didn't have. The only reason why we believe that latin remained the same is because the spelling didn't change until centuries after western rome collapsed.
Só as elites usavam o Francês. Da mesma maneira que neste video a França não é pintada toda de vermelho até o século IV porque o Gaulês ainda era falado pela grande maioria da população.
@@mitonaarea5856 sim, precisamente, mas acho que ele poderia ter usado uma cor fraca e oscilante como fez com o latim renascentista, apenas para que esse detalhe não passasse completamente desapercebido

Money, silver and gold he wouldn't kill me because I already had a lot ... I'm half a cousin of Greek, Phoenicians and Babylonians ... Israel knew me in the days of glory because I was chosen by God to reign in the time of the Messiah and to raise the name of JESUS CHRIST .. .I have many children badly, but I have many good children and that is why I was chosen ... I have many adopted children who use my alphabet and use my symbols with respect. In my glory I adopted many children who did not speak my language and I gave them an alphabet, many symbols, a calendar and a rich culture with a Christian faith ... My womb children and my adopted children honor me and have my inheritance.

Very well made! Great effort, superb result. Thank you.
I actually waited for some French influence in England to appear after 1066, but then I understood, the extension of the English language and any discussion about its Romanic or Germanic nature goes beyond the scope of the video. It is interesting though how one can indirectly see the influence of non-Romanic languages, empires, and migrations. So much information.
Thank you very much
British still has 50% of its vocabulary from french words that where Latin once. So they kinda still speak some Latin. Even Germany has a lot of words that come from Latin
Not to mention stuff directly from Latin. Even some "Germanic" is thinly guised Latin.
Yeah but that doesnt make it a fully romance language.
For example Albanian has 60% words of Latin origin but is a indo european isolate.
Grammar and stuff is very different.
Bueno también eran Britania provincia Romana de UK solo romanos son los de Gales.
As you can see, in Spain, latin never arribed to the "Basque Country" at the top. Basque Country is a region of Spain, and as a Spanish I can confirm that the basque people have an extremely rare and unknown language, nobody knows from where it comes. Search for it, it's really weird
Basque language is a true relic, ancestral was the only pre-Indo-European language that is alive and relatively well until today, 750 thousand there are 1.1 million speakers of this language
I am very happy that they managed to preserve this language
As a Mexican I've known about basque all my life but only a few years ago did I learned that Its not only non latín but that Its not even Indo-European, that blew my mind entirely. México Is possibly the country outside Spain with most basque traces (I Dont know if argentina has More but I doubt It since their mainly Italian in ancestry), there's like 2 states larger than european countries with basque names and a Ton of people have basque surnames too, even presidents have had basque surnames (like Luis Ectheverría)
As a child of 8 years old I had to learn a poem written by st. Francis in 1224. The 90% of it was intelligible, also for a young boy. It's incredible if I think about that today.
French is still spoken in the maghreb. Between 20 to 30 % in Algeria and Moroco. And up to 50 % in Tunisia.

Dialetizzate
Italian regional languages are languages, Italy has the largest number of recognized indigenous languages in all of Europe, most call them dialects and we are taught to call them dialects but they are languages, most even older than Italian itself. Italian is just essentially a lingua franca used to make us be understood by one another regardless of where we're from. It became clear during WW1 that Italian needed to be standardized and taught because soldiers in the trenches could not even properly understand each other, for they spoke in their own languages and couldn't understand one another. With the invention of radios and TV, Italian became the standard language of the land and it's taken a toll on our regional languages. They're endagered and are protected as a valuable, intangible historical asset by UNESCO.

The Irish were speaking Latin and Greek hundreds of years before the Anglo-Saxons came into Britain. There are literal gospels that have been preserved that were written fully in Latin by the Irish Pre-10th century.
Probably they were some ppl that spoke it. But not many to consider a proper dialect, they were mostly from the cleric but it wasn't use it in the regular basis
@@kingbjorn1832 As shown in the video, Latin disappears in Britain, due to the Anglo-Saxon invasions. Then, it suddenly reemerges with the Christianization of the Anglo-Saxon kings and their people. In the 7th century, they were Christianized almost entirely by the Irish missionaries from Scotland and Ireland who brought Latin back to the area, rather than from continental Europe. Yes, it wasn't in common usage like in parts of Gaul, but it wasn't referring to Latin as a "proper dialect" in the video(England has pink lines, not fully coloured, Like Gaul or Italy). Then, somehow, the Latin language is only shown to have come into Ireland in the 12th century. This is simply inaccurate.

@Luis Santos latin dies for good
Andrea Vitanza
“For good” means “officially”.
Edit: In this context at least.
What I love about these videos that show the world changing over time, may it be about language, borders, religion or whatever: these changes usually happen so slowly that, on a human scale, people usually perceive those characteristics are fixed. It's like plate techtonics: I know it looks still, but it has moved a lot in the past and, slowly, is going to move in the future.
When one of the changes appears to be approaching, conservatives who don't like them bring "tradition" as an argument: "This is the language we speak here! This is the religion we follow here! These are the borders of our nation!", and so on. Even if they vaguely know their country has had a different shape in the past, they still perceive the current shape as established.
But not these videos: these videos show how flexible certain things are, showing that it would be childish to think that the current status is, for some reason, the definitive one. Like if historic change somehow decided to stop, all of a sudden, right now, just right in the specific instant such people happen to be shortly alive.
Take this video for example, pause at 3:30, 4:04, 4:40, 5:30, 6:40, whatever: wouldn't it be foolish to believe that that specific arrangement of colours is the "legit" one, such that the previous one was justified but the next one wasn't? No? Well, _we are_ in one of those paused moments, it only differs in detail that *we* are not sure of what's coming but, whatever it is, it obviously is coming.
Don't think of the territorial and qualitative extent of your language as stable: it's shortly going to lose a piece and/or gain another.
Don't think of the territorial and qualitative extent of your religion as stable: it's shortly going to lose a piece and/or gain another.
Don't think of the territorial and qualitative extent of your country as stable: it's shortly going to lose a piece and/or gain another.
Judge changes for their value, not their difference from the current status.
Change is inevitable. And that's ok.

About the current decline of Occitan in favor of French: it is not natural, it is the consequence of the government policy of France. *The history of other European nation-states is that of linguistic communities serving their trade needs. France created itself by destroying five cultures - Breton, Occitan, Alsatian, Corsican, and Flemish. We are the only European nation which is the military creation of a non-homogeneous State. This makes France difficult to govern to this day* - Michel Rocard, former prime minister
-------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the 19th century, a native of Provence, Frédéric Mistral, is working for the revival of the Occitan language with his cultural association the Félibrige.
Mistral received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The Félibres and their Occitan successors preach respect for the dialectal diversity of the Occitan language, that they consider being a cultural richness.
Contrariwise, the "Jacobins", French supporters of a centralized republican state, are requiring the use of a uniform language: standard French according to the French Academy.
Jacobins are fighting the Occitan language considered dangerous because competing with French. They also eradicate native French dialect!
Fundamentalist supporters of a French language uniform to communicate, the Republicans will also impose for the natives Occitans, Bretons etc. the exclusive use of this standard French.
With this "Jacobin" state policy, indigenous dialectal French became obsolete in the 20th century.
The standard French language has become the daily communication tool for the Occitan natives too!
However, the Occitan cultural movement still perpetuates a residual but real use of the traditional Occitan language.
Today, in French Occitanie, from Nice to Bordeaux, from Auvergne to Gascony, 10% of the 12 millions of Occitans are bilingual, able to speak a local dialect of their own Occitan language.
Occitan is also still used in the Occitan valleys of Italy... But it is also official language in the Aran valley in Spain (called there "Aranese")!
The French Republic recognizes in its Constitution (Article 75-1) the heritage aspect of local languages (including Occitan). But considering the Republican "Jacobin" idea is unify the French state by standard French language (Article 2 of the Constitution), in facts, the French law only tolerates a private and confidential use of the Occitan.
There is a mistrust of romantic nationalism that has been based since the 19th century on indigenous languages, hence the unification of Italy, Germany, independence of Poland, Greece, Ireland ...
The geopolitical impact of the linguistic question remains a controversial topic which explains why the French governmental institutions hide the Occitan identity question.
Nevertheless, we will not be able to build anything strong on unspoken. The taboo of the problematic of the language used as identity marker must be removed, because "Jacobin" Republicans want to legitimize state centralism through French identity domination to serve the financial interests of the Parisian capitalism!
Acculturation is preceding the economic control! that explains the Parisian oligarchy's contempt for non-compliant "regional" identities.
In a capitalist Parisian Republic, indigenous Occitans are logically second class citizens. So the Occitan question is essential: there is no parity, no democracy without mutual respect and without decentralization!
I'm from Barcelona, and I find so sad to see how the Occitan language is decreasing. I once visited Perpignan, and nobody could speak Occitan or Catalan, just French.

Bien sûr je ne défend pas la disparition de l'occitan au contraire il est important de le faire savoir pour pouvoir mieux vivre son identité et la diversité. Mais il faut garder une langue commune a tous car la France n'est pas la Suisse ou la Belgique.

Oh my! You include Chavacano. Spanish Creole in the Philippines.
For some people Venetian is classified as a western romance language (but not gallo-italic), not as an italo-dalmatian one, while for other people it's the opposite. But for some people italo-dalmatian languages are inside the western romance group and for others Venetian is even a gallo-italic language.
As a native Venetian speaker I'm confused, but I can confirm that with Venetan only I can understand more the gallo-italic languages, Friulian and a little bit of Ladin and Istrioto; but I need also Italian to understand something of Neapolitan and related dialects (I can use just Venetian, but it's more difficult than for example understanding Friulian with just it)

@@avantelvsitania3359 Hence the term Lingua Franca
@@guppy719 Not really. The Lingua Franca was a real language on its own. It was a language that developed in the Mediteranean Sea by merchants during the medieval Times until the XIXe century, and was a mix between Occitan, Italian(s), Castilian and other language of the west Mediterean.
The name "Lingua Franca" does not link with France. In fact, in the medieval time, the catholics European as a whole where called the "Franks" by the byzantine orthodoxs. It obvously comme from the Franks that became the French people in the end, but during the crusade for instance, all crusaders were called the Franks, despite where they came from, til they were western Europeans. So the Italians and Iberians were Franks like the Occitans, so that's why the name "Lingua Franca" wich means "Language of the Franks". Then, the term is used to designate all language that is used for international exchanges and diplomacy, or just as an international language betwen people of different language. So the French was indeed a Lingua Franca and now we can say that English is the Lingua Franca of the world *cries in Français*
Fascinating! How accurate is that?

Amazing video ! As a French, the only error I saw was the recent repartition of French : Occitan has disapeared since the 1970s, it is not learned nor talked anymore, and Britanny can be painted in blue as Breton is a minor language there. These changes are caused by the French government that fought to remove regional languages since long ago (and it began to work after the Second World war), now only very old people may speak dialects that they learned at home. Though recently the government tried to step back and authorized some dialects to be learned in class (Breton, Picard...)
Thank you for the additional information. Unfortunately there aren't official stats about the number of the Occitan-speakers. They are today estimated between 300,000 and 800,000
As a bit of history; interestingly, Spain is doing the opposite. There are 4 languages and many dialects related to them that governments since the 70's have been encouraging are trying to keep alive because they were damaged previously during a dictatorship, as Spanish was forcefully the only taught and spoken language. You can see them on the map as Spanish, Galician (top left corner) and Catalan (top right). The last one is Basque, the white spot as it is older than latin, and the spot near Galician is an old dialect that comes directly from latin (Astur). And the same happens in a region in the north-east (Navarro-Aragonés). They were languages in the past but they devolved into dialects because of its slow decline in users. The more you know :D
@@juanmola2000 Our gouvernement is stepping back and now the minor languages are revitalized as more and more Young people are learning them, that's a good thing. However, Occitan (which is closely related to french) has always been widely spoken.

This is still debatable though, but this is the most agreed time period of its genesis as a pidgin then later as a creole language or dialects, variants, and/or varieties.
French is actually very distinct in its pronunciation and change of words as compared to cognates in other Romance Languages.
For example, Château and Castillo (Es) are related. The Latin word, Castillum, changed more in French with the C > Ch and Ll > U and the disappearance of the 'S' in exchange for the circumflex over the vowel preceding the historic S.
The Latin is _castēllum,_ not _"castillum"._
That little sign or whatever it is over the a in the French word château is a remembrance of a time when the a was followed by the s so originally in French it was chasteau
in fact, the etymology is "castel" .@@javicruz9754

Great video, but I don´t understand why French doesn´t appear at least also in England. When the majority of those who have some cultural impact learn a specific language, and it provably had a (greater) influence on the local language, then it is equivalent to the influence of Latin, which is marked here (which´s great :) ). I don´t really know but my impression is that today´s Russian has a heavy French influence in it´s vocabulary - does it dates to the times when all of Russian nobility spoke also French?
Basically, because it wasn't really what you'd today call French, and because of only partial influence. For a couple of centuries after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the language spoken by the nobility (much less - if any - by the common people) and used in the documents there was the "Old French", via the Norman conquerors. Old French was nothing like today's French, it was a mix of dialects spoken in northern France that was one of the intermediary stages between vulgar Latin and what is now the French language. Sure, the English language was heavily influenced by Old French, which added to the already existing Latin influences on the island and that is clearly visible even today with roughly 30% of English being of latin descent, but it makes more sense to count these things as Latin influences overall, given the basis of the language and the fact that 'true' French wasn't born yet at that time. Take a look at the relevant portions of the Oaths of Strasbourg and the Sequence of Saint Eulalia, one of the oldest surviving documents in Old French, and you'll easily see what I mean.
In short, saying French should appear in England after the Norman conquest is like saying Italian should appear there after the Roman conquest, German should appear there after the Anglo-Saxon invasion, or that Danish-Norwegian should appear there after the Viking Age. The reality is such linguistic influences are more accurately described as latin, germanic and norse instead.
Awesome work. You should do Uralic langusges next! :)
Romanian really is such a strange case, the death of its state saw the people no longer care for its protection and spread across the lands as a common language.
