LITURGICAL/SACRED LANGUAGES

- Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
A sacred language, holy language, or liturgical language is any language that is cultivated and used primarily in church service or for other religious reasons by people who speak another, primary language in their daily lives. A sacred language is often the language which was spoken and written in the society in which a religion's sacred texts were first set down; these texts thereafter become fixed and holy, remaining frozen and immune to later linguistic developments.
This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of languages by documenting and sharing linguistic knowledge, thus ensuring that these languages and their cultural heritage are not lost to future generations.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Classical Arabic is used widely amongst a lot of churches in the Middle East specially in Lebanon and Syria
Well, there are so many arab christian too
Yeah, there are many Arab Christians too
Listening to liturgical languages of the world shape praise and blessing in all their own ways, not comparing them, just hearing every tradition express the heart of its devotion to Divinity and The Good is an enlightening experience. If we look into the warm hearts of sincere believers of other nations and faiths we see the human heart in its most innocent form, infinitely precious and deserving of care.
Good to see Andy bring Avestan back to the channel again; it was Zoroastrianism's primary language, besides other Indo-Iranian languages such as Ancient Median or Old/Middle Persian! Good to see that it's still alive and kicking! ❤🔥🔥
Indonesian hindu and buddhist also have liturgical languange called kawi which is an archaic form of java-balinese combined with sanskirt
My mother loves listening Coptic language and still listening to it every single time! 🤣 - Orthodox commenter
As someone who grew up in a Tibetan Buddhist household it sounded so familiar to me and unlocked some of my memories lol. I remember every prayer ended with Tashi Shok, which apparently means "be auspicious for all of us". Cool cool.
它是Szok啦!
Isn't it pronunced like 'tashi shok' ?
These languages not only represent their speakers, but also the subsequent believers of their religions; they should be preserved as best as those that speak them can, as well as the religions of said people!
As a Dravidian Hindu Turk, I'm happy that Sanskrit is still living through its surviving dialects like Sankethi spoken in Shivamogga village of Karnataka state here. There are also other surving dialects of Sanskrit that the outside world doesn't know.
Turk?
Al Fatihah ❤
Informative as always.
Surprised to see that Syriac still lives on in places like Syria and other areas of the Levant; may the Oriental Orthodox Christians who speak it be able to revive it, the same going for Coptic too!! ✝☦
usually only head priests are able to speak Syriac and Coptic...most congregations and mass were done in Arabic.
@@wewenang5167 Thanks for the info.
Christianity: Latin, Greek, Slavonic, Syriac, Coptic, Ge'ez, Armenian & Georgian
Judaism: Hebrew
Islam: Arabic
Zoroastianism: Avestan
Hinduism: Sanskrit
Shaivism: Tamil
Buddhism: Pali & Tibetan
Shintoism: Japanese
Wait is shaivism different from hindusism? Isn't shiva a deity in Hinduism too? I am confused.
I thought it was one of the traditions in Hindu faith.
Weirdly enough, Pali is for Theravada and Tibetan is used for vajrayana. But, he hasn't made that distinction in the video.
It probably is just from what I've known from the fantasy genre, but I can't help but imagine Old Gaelic being a liturgical language in another timeline. And it probably would've been the case since the early middle ages.
Latin, Greek, Slavonic, Avestan, Sanskrit, Pali and Armenian are the Indo-European languages here
2:01 That one ꙮ language.
Love Hebrew, Greek and Arabic so beautiful
That’s a cool idea for a Language video! Thanks for sharing . Thanks for making it! I always love the little cartoon guys.
Ideas for part 2: •Mandaic (Mandaeanism)
• Paleo-Hebrew (Samaritanism)
• Farsi (bahai)
• Gurmukhi (Sikhi)
• Kurdish (Yezidis)
• Shabaki (Whether Shabaki is considered a form of Islam or its own thing is just a debate beyond me)
• Yiddish (Ashkenazi Judaism)
• Ladino (Sabbateanism/Dönme)
• Liturgical Yoruba/Ofo Ase/Ifa(Used in Nigerian indigenous Religion, Cuban Lucúmi & Brazilian Candomblé)
• Old/Siberian Turkic (Tengriism)
• Iyaric (Rastafarianism)
•Quechua (Inca, *=yes it's practice still alive by some, even those who are catholics too)
• Ch'olti' (Mayan, *, only alive liturgically)
• Nahuatl (Aztec, *)
[Feel free to add below, I'm curious for what I am missing]
Bahai and Yazididm are cults* they're as legitimate as Scientology for a religion
Yiddish is not a liturgical language, it’s quite the opposite of a liturgical language, being used primarily as a spoken day to day language, Ashkenazi Jews still use Hebrew for prayers
I never heard anyone lump the Yezidis with Kurds. Their whole spiel is that they are Mesopotamian monotheists who worship a God of wisdom from Sumer. How is their litugy related to the Indo-european Kurdish language?
@@nathanielmartins5930 they use Kurmanji in their prayers such as Dua Ser Belgî (Şehda Dînî), Dua Êvarê, Dua Nîvro, Dua Sibê, and Dua Fecrê; & some texts as the Kitêba Cilwe & Mishefa Reş. So even though Kurmanji is not used as a Liturgical language majority of the time, for them it is still their Liturgical Language
Yazidis and Yarsanis, two ethno-religious communities, hold their rites in Kurdish, you can add this to part 2. ☀️
Even though i am a Muslim, i admit the jewish prayer calming my heart
I like to search about languages and religions, so this video was exactly what I wanted!
Perfect!
My favorites are Tamil and Tibetan. They sound so mystical
Latin is sooooooo beautiful and heavenly
Tell that to a Gallic warrior whose village was burned by the Romans hahahaha.
What the speakers did has nothing to do with whether their language is beautiful
The Liturgical language I like the most is greek 🫡🇬🇷
I loved sanskrit and pali the most.
Κύριε ελέησον ημάς ❤
The Greek Language I love the most @@munmunsarkar1726
May Zeus may with you @@giuseppelogiurato5718
mine is samskritam arabic and tibetan
To think that when you hear Coptic you are listening to the nearest possible thing to the language of pyramid builders of ancient Egypt!
Pater noster 😊
Weird elevator/lift 😊
Hey! I don’t know if you’ve already made a video about the Mandaean language (Mandaic) it’s an eastern dialect of the Aramaic language :)
Even though i am a Christian, i admit the Islamic prayer calming my heart
من الجيد أن يرتاح فؤادك للتلاوة القرآنية و لكن أنصحك أيضا بالتدبر في الآيات و فهم معانيها
Cap 🧢 😂
Pali is by far my favorite. Its sound is very smooth and calming 😌
საქართველოს გაუმარჯოოს❤❤❤❤

Armenian is so sweet
These languages are used in churches all times, all world and all people
Churches?
All religion. Never seen sanskrit used in churches.
Never seen any Muslim prayers in Church
@@akraphummamar1547Arabic is used by Arab Christian’s.
Also never seen Hebrew in a church
You could have found the eastern orthodox languages being chanted also
I think the "Our Father" is chanted only in the Russian Orthodox tradition, us Greeks do not chant it, we just recite it
@@apmoy70 it just feels like grabbing the Latin Gregorian chant then not getting the others sounded off
Idk why, but I love how Tibetan sounds
Very interesting ✌️
Arabic ❤❤🌹
What language family does Coptic belong to? It is so different from everything I heard
9:48 izanagi? Koto-no yoshi amatsu kami? aren't they the jutsus in Naruto or i'm mistaking?
NOOOO SYRIAC'S ONE GOT CHANGED I MISS THE OLD PAIN OF THE LONG SINGING
Pary Time ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We use churchslavonic in Serbian Orthodox Church.
Did you guys removed the Chinese one? I wished you guys posted the full Ahmai Raescha for the Zoroastrian prayer too... But it's good that you guys added the Armenian and the Georgian prayers as well.
Pali sounds so close to modern Bengali and soothing
Pls compare Ancient Greek and Vedic Sanskrit
Throw in Old English, Latin and Slavonic too
@@FebruaryHas30Days or Avestan/Old Persian
You forgot prakrit, punjabi, sinhala, bangla languages also meitei Manipuri, Assamese, odia languages.
Bangla, meitei, Assamese are used in vhaisanava monasteries and also sometimes for pooja.
Punjabi for Sikhs, tamil for many tamil shaivates, prakrit for jains, sinhala for sinhalese buddhists.
Tamil is there and Pali is a Prakrit. The rest are not liturgical languages. Otherwise you can call all languages litugical languages, because there are prayers in German, Spanish, Icelandic, Javanese etc
@@alfonsmelenhorst9672no pali is a prakrit language. I mean magadhi prakrit language used by jains.
Sinhala is the mother tongue of Sinhalese. But It's not a liturgical language. Pali is the liturgical language for Sinhalese Buddhists since They are Theravada Buddhists. Pali is the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism in any country.
@@munmunsarkar1726
Pali is also one of the magadhi prakrits but yeah this and Ardhamagadhi(a Prakrit used by Jains) aren’t strictly identical languages
@@Taizongdoingexercise prakrit is not a language but a group of vernacular languages. Pali and magadhi prakrit are only two among them.

greeting from Iran ❤
I like Coptic very much.....
Mediterranean, Asian and European languages.
Syriac = Aramaic?
Isn't Greek still spoken as just a regular conversational language in, well, Greece?
No modern Greek is not intelligible with the old or church Greek.
Arabic also
The Pali should be in Dhammacakkapvattana Sutta not just some random Pali story.
Another day asking for samaritan hebrew. 😅
I'd love a video on it too, but tbf it'll be really difficult to find someone to do a recording of them speaking it because there's only less than 1000 Samaritans left and very little research on it
Avestan is amazing 😍
The arabic is unaccurate pronounciation, i'am a scholar in the quranic Pronounciation
You're a perfectionist?
i'am an obviousionist person, just say that "it is what it is" for this video,
al-Qur'an is totally wrong if it not how Gabriel teaching to the prophet Muhammad.
The real Alqur'an teaching system actually is strict and eligible, it's make the insting over sensitive to every syllables in alqur'an reciting
@@moenajadmmh194
You should be grateful that Allah didnt hit us with thunder when we prounounced quran wrong, but instead still gives us His Grace.
Not wrong at all idk what u mean
Arabic is the best. Sweet sounds. I'm proud of Quran and Arabic. I like
And I love the psalms in Arabic too
The Sanskrit song sounds like the intro to a superhero movie.
Avestan sounds cool
Wait is shaivism different from hindusism? Isn't shiva a deity in Hinduism too? I am confused.

Weirdly enough, Pali is for Theravada and Tibetan is used for vajrayana. But, he hasn't made that distinction in the video.
Could you make Iraqi Arabic and Persian?
Does China have a liturgical language?
Request: Finnish and Mongolian?
Ecclesiastic salute would properly sound "salbete, mi'i ..." or "salbete, mii...".
Instead, "salwete, mihi..." is a classical republican form.
classic latin is better tho
@@AmaniElArnabMaybe, but in the context of the video the Ecclesiastical pronunciation is the only one used for liturgical purposes.
At my church we pronounce it
Salvete with a v sound like in english and mihi with a h as in english or a k like miki
can you pls do Eskayan language??
这种语言是这么产生的？
Aren't Georgians using the standard language in church?
We use old Georgian in worship, although it is almost identical to modern spoken Georgian, so any person can understand and hear it. It is an interesting fact that in the Georgian language we have three scripts, out of which we use only one "Mkhedruli" daily, but during worship the Holy Scripture is written in the old Georgian script, which is called "Nuskha-Khutsuri" and "Asomatvruli". Not everyone can read the above-mentioned alphabets, except priests and psalmists
Bilen language, please
How many people speak these?
Most of the languages in the video are spoken only in religious contexts, they are not really used in daily life
@@KingsleyAmuzu
TLDN
For Greek, around 10 million speakers.
Greeks speak Modern Greek, which is based on Koine Greek. To modern Greeks, Koine Greek sounds old fashioned and archaic, but it is more or less understood. Greek language hasn't changed very much the last 2000 years.
i know georgian

Are they still used in anywhere, yes or no?
In hindu regions sanskrit is used for these type of sacred chants and hymns. Pali by buddhists. Tamil has 70 million native speakers. An ancient continuously spoken language and sacred for tamil Hindus. Sanskrit has about 30,000 native speakers.
Tibetan, tamil, Hebrew, syriac, arabic are spoken languages spoken by millions of people.
@@munmunsarkar1726 why has onle 30千 Sans Crit? its ancient and India has many populasyon of Hinduists??
@@equilibrum999 Just like Latin, and old Chinese. There are as same population of Chinese why they don't speak old Chinese anymore?
@@equilibrum999 it doesn't matter if I m a hindu my mother tongue is Bengali. I love my language my language produces so many great poets and authors. Sanskrit is my ancient pride. I wanna learn the language.
Compare Sanskrit with Avestan and Old Tamil, please 🙏
Someone who loves languages so much should include CC.
Interlingua next time?
Christianity is the only Truth✝️✝️✝️
Lol no
Why does Japanese prayer sound like an Islamic Arabic prayer? 🤔😁
Maybe because of quasimonotonous melody
The Latin was funny because it was singing
Ď 2:30
JESUS CHIRST IS THE ONLY LIVING GOD AND THE BIBLE IS MADE BY CATHOLIC BY THE WORD OF GOD CALL SAINT PETER CALL THE ROCK AND THE APPALES ARE CATHOLIC MEAN UNIVERSAL CHURCH CALL CHRISTIAN CALL ORTHODOX HAIL MARY IS THE MOTHER OF GOD BORN WITHOUT SIN JUST LIKE GOD JESUS CHIRST IS THE SABBATH JESUS CHIRST IS THE ONLY LIVING GOD CALL THE FATHER AND HOLY SON IS THE WORD OF GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JESUS CHIRST KINGDOM AMEN
Just use the menorah for Hebrew, not that colonizer flag
