As a Brazilian who speaks English and French and had some prior contact with German and Italian, I managed to understand:
100% of Portuguese, English, Spanish and French
90% of Italian and Romanian
60% of German
20% of Dutch
Only random words in other languages. And absolutely nothing of Hungarian, this language baffles me
Hungarian is not an Indo-European language, it is a Finno-Ugric , Asian language.
and what about Turkish? don't we want to talk about it? 😂
Hungarian and Finnish are the most deviant languages in Europe. People from other nations can't understand even single words. Imagine how hard it must be to learn Hungarian or Finnish!
@@MVEProducties or estonian for that matter since it’s in the same language group
I wish I would've started learning a second language when I was younger. Better now than never.
List of the most spoken languages in Europe:
1. Russian 🇷🇺
2. German 🇩🇪
3. French 🇨🇵
4. Italian 🇮🇹
5. English 🏴, 🇬🇧
6. Spanish 🇪🇦
7. Polish 🇵🇱
8. Ukrainian 🇺🇦
9. Romanian 🇷🇴
10. Dutch 🇳🇱
11. Turkish 🇹🇷
12. Hungarian 🇭🇺
13. Swedish 🇸🇪
14. Greek 🇬🇷
15. Czech 🇨🇿
16. Portuguese 🇵🇹
English is also spoken in Ireland and German in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. French is also spoken in Switzerland and Belgium. Dutch is also spoken in Belgium (Flamish is counted as Dutch here, I guess due to the number of speakers). Hungarian is also spoken in Romania and Serbia and so on. You can not map Languages to countries 1:1, those are two different things.
@@arnoldhau1 German also in France (some parts of Alsace and Lorraine), mostly like South Tyrol (Edit.: aka "Alto Adige") in Italy and in a few isolalated spots on the Alps' Chain, between Swi and Aut (waltser and cimbrian, dialects of austro-bavarian language, the southern sub-group of German lang).

Unbelievable and enviable how fluently the Czech forecaster pronounces the ř sound, I keep struggling with it despite having learned Czech for around four months right now
Patience and persistence is key.
I like how articulated Greek and Czech are when they were spoken by their respective forecasters.
that's sarcasm right
@@LordHoward No.
What does articulation mean ',:/
@@sarmadali7191 To articulate is to pronounce clearly and distinctly

Wow! Greek sounds exactly like spanish😮
As Greek myself I can’t hear the similarities but maybe if you aren’t Greek or Spaniard maybe you can’t understand.
@@famemosterrrrr OFC both of them are different languages, but phonology reminds me of castilian spanish
Hello fellow Europeans, I love you and your languages!
Самый красивый для меня ( носителя русского языка) больше всего мне нравится французский язык. Очень красивый, как музыка. Люблю немецкий язык, удивительно красиво звучит ( берлинское произношение). Итальянский тоже очень красивый и мелодичный, а как они поют - 😇, супер! Из славянский языков ( кроме своего конечно) мне нравится польский.
3:49 Romanian sounds like Italian spoken with a Bulgarian accent.
4:50 Turkish sounds like Kyrgyz spoken with a Bulgarian accent.
I guess you speak Bulgarian accent )))
Never i had imagined that Italian could be the fourth most spoken language of Europe! 🇮🇹 More then English and Spanish!
“Native speakers” I am pretty sure English would be first overall
@@aoterou As a second or trade language, yes. But as native language, English is only spoken in the UK and Ireland and by some people in Malta to my knowledge.
Only in Europe
Haven't you heard geography in your life?
@@aoterou Not in Europe.
As a Spanish speaker Greek sounds so similar to Spanish
Add Serbo-Croatian (Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian as the current political name dictates they be called) right after Dutch, with 19 million speakers speaking a mutually intelligible language.🇧🇦🇭🇷🇲🇪🇷🇸
Greek sounds Spanish
We literally have the same sounds. I’m Greek and every time I listen to Spanish I need 10 seconds to realise it’s not Greek 😂
@☞ོ☜ོ 66 years ago At least Spanish doesn't sounds like hybrid Slavic language. Unlike the "language" in last of this video!
Yeess
It's because neither of them can pronounce clear s (like other Europeans). It's an sh-like sound.
That's because im pretty sure Latin (which is the father of all Romance languages) and Greek evolved from the same proto-language.
I might be wrong so dont take my comment for granted.
Como mexicano que tiene conocimientos de portugués entendí:
100% de Español
85% de Portugués
20% de Italiano y Rumano
10% de Francés e Inglés.
0% de otros idiomas.
I don't understand foreign idioms either...
Pues mira que España está llena de rumanos y yo el rumano no lo entiendo ni borracho. También es verdad que todos los rumanos que hay por aquí hablan bastante bien castellano.
el frances eres mejor que la italia para entendier, lo portugues europeu, da trabajo para escuchar, le lengua se enrola mucho jajajaja

Was the Greek girl speedrunning or that's how greek people normally speak?
Sometimes we speaking fast
She speaks slow for greek😂
Greeks do often talk really fast but she is speaking "news Greek" which is often especially fast and sounds kinda robotic. My mother, who is Greek, heard the presenter speaking and even commented on how fast she was speaking.
Shes probably reading her lines off a screen and thats why shes talking so fast

Pero vivo en Francia cerca de Alemania y no tengo la oportunidad de hablar español a menos que vaya de vacaciones a ese país. Es una pena, pero me gusta este idioma, su regularidad, su familiaridad y, al mismo tiempo, su extrañeza para un francés (¡hay tantos falsos amigos!). Y me gustan los acentos variados de América (México, Colombia, Argentina...).

Is there a video of american continent?
Have you noticed the Hungarian weather forecast ? It includes all the territories which belonged to Hungary before 1920 as if they were still Hungarian ! My country Poland lost hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of our eastern territories but we recognize that they nowadays are part of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania.
Becauae hungarians still didn't learn to cope and recognize defeat.
Because there still live hungarian speaking peoples.
The Hungarian forecast has a symbol deep in Austria around Klangefurt. Magyars never lived there and also on Zagreb they never lived there too.
@@antejl7925 Other forecasts show nearly the whole Europe. What may this mean?
It means nothing but weather info, Hungary is showing only in areas it wants back from its nem nem bad loser syndrome , and some extra for good measure.
Хорошая погода
Для русского уха конечно красивее остальных звучит французский язык. Не зря несколько веков этот язык изучала русская знать. Обожаю Патрисию Каас.
Сама очень люблю звучание итальянского языка. Славянские языки для меня, носителя русского, конечно понятны в большей или меньшей степени, но звучат как некая пародия на русский. Я не хочу никого обидеть, и не хочу сказать, что все остальные славянские языки вторичны, нет. Это моё субъективное слуховое восприятие.
Спасибо автору канала, у вас интересный контент. ❤❤
Французский язык - это как если бы кто-то взял латынь и сделал ее еще хуже. В большинстве слов есть буквы, которые не произносятся, и есть несколько слов, которые означают совершенно одно и то же. Есть также слова, которые без всякой видимой причины имеют пол. Он может выглядеть и звучать хорошо, но под всеми этими красивыми украшениями и звуками, на мой взгляд, скрывается катастрофический язык.

Weather is the common language in Europe, that I understood. However, noone speaks it.
English is nearer 70 million with 65 million in the UK and 4 million in Ireland.
Denmark left the chat
*chezh & slovak is a lovely lan*
It should be in second place after Turkish, Russian and German in Turkiye has a population of 80 million. I think it's based only on our continental European territory.
You have forgotten Catalan, with more than 10 million speakers, almost like Czech and Portuguese in Europe.
El catalán suena como un #CONLANG basado en el romance, hecho por una mente poco inventiva (lo mismo para occitano). 🤣
Sé por qué se le llama lengua separatista, igual que el portugués en la época de la reconquista.
I understood all of the English and French, and a bit of the German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Dutch, Spanish and Italian.
as a native hungarian speaker i would loooove to hear what my first language sounds like to other people
to me, a Romanian living around Bucharest, Hungarian sounds like: megefe igen melefek megerusu :) :D
btw, years ago, a hungarian coworker impersonated how Romanian sounds for him. It was like: tche tche tche (the Romanian ce/ci syllables).
Bonjour mon ami. For me, a French speaker, Hungarian is melodious, does not sound aggressive, like certain Germanic languages (I don't want to specify, so as not to offend anyone). From a purely melodic point of view, it strikes me as a mixture of Portuguese, Swedish and Polish, even though I know it is not a language of the Indo-European group. I looked at the wipikedia article on Hungarian and I have the impression that it is a language so different from ours that unless I lived in Hungary for many years, I would be unable to learn it by myself. Vive la Hongrie!😀
El griego suena como el español.
Comme un anglais j'ai pu bien comprendre l'anglais, et aussi 100% du francais, car je l'etudie au bahut. Les autres langues romances etaient plutot facile a comprendre, mais je n'en ai pas tout compris. J'etais surpris par a quel point j'ai compris le russe, et ceci est car bien que je l'apprenne, mon niveau de russe est fort pire que mon niveau en francais. Les langues germaniques n'etaient pas dures a comprendre aussi (l'allemand et le neerlandais etaient les langues germaniques les plus faciles). Dans le cas du polonais, c'etait incomprehensible.

Me as a German 100 %english
80%Dutch
Same for me as a Dutch person, English is easier and used alot more frequent.
I think European Spanish language is easier than Latin Spanish language, for understanding. And, British English language, more polite than American English language, due to there aren't slangs too much.
It depends. Mexico City Spanish is very easy for learners because it is spoken reasonably slow and all letters are pronounced

Yes swedish is 11 million becuase of in Finland swedish is the second Language and many have it for native language. And in Norway many swedes work, because Norwegian can understand Swedish, but not danish.
I'm American and I guessed all 16 almost in order so I guess all Americans aren't geographically illiterate. Having lived in Europe for a few years and speaking four European languages fluently probably helped.
Wow, something that you consider an achievement for Europeans is a common knowledge. Also knowing 4+ languages for Europeans is quite common and they rarely brag about it since many know even more than that.
@@BurbonUFA Wow! You're a genius for sleuthing out the obvious. That was precisely my point.
@@BurbonUFA Not true. In Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy many people only speak one or two languages because they don't ever have to leave their country for better opportunities. Maybe if you are born in a small country like Luxembourg, Belgium or Czechia or something you have to learn the language of your neighbouring countries

So you didn't quite hit the Czech Republic :) Our neighbors are Slovaks to the east (100% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed), Poland to the northeast (90% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed). Northwest, West and South is German language (Germany and Austria). And there, (With the exception of big cities) no one will talk to you in English. German only, English very reluctantly.

J'adore toutes ces langues, si variées et musicales. Je comprend, parle, lis et écris le français (ma langue), l'allemand et l'anglais, bien, d'après les gens du pays, et moyennement l'espagnol, que j'ai appris à un âge avancé. J'avais commencé à apprendre l'italien, dont la sonorité me plaît beaucoup, mais j'ai dû annuler mon voyage en Italie. Ce n'est que partie remise, j'espère. Bravo pour cette vidéo très intéressante, qui donne envie de découvrir toutes ces cultures européennes.
Самые красивые языки - итальянский и испанский, на итальянском надо петь, испанский диктор говорил так горячо, что казалось, хотел отодвинуть циклоны от Испании!
Если вы скажете, то испанский язык звучит более напористо и всегда к месту (но и по-гречески тоже), чем итальянский, особенно в исполнении взрослых.
Если я послушаю итальянский, то он звучит так, как будто официант-гей упал с парадной лестницы и злится на всех.

Population of U.K. 67M, population of Ireland 5M. That's 72M native English speakers not counting the native English speakers abroad like in Gibraltar etc. Please don't think this is a researched fact based video, because it's obviously not.
not everyone in the uk or ireland speak english as a native language though?
@@ejones8360 Virtually everyone in Ireland does. Although Welsh is still used in Wales, all Welsh speakers are bilingual to the extent that they are classed as native English speakers. When I was a boy, there were Welsh people who struggled to speak English, but those days are long gone.
@@thebamfordman who classes them as native English speakers? because I definitely wouldn’t class myself as a native English speaker nor would the majority of people I know. And I honestly ‘struggle’/find it very uncomfortable speaking English because it’s something I rarely do, so wouldn’t really say ‘those days are long gone’
@Mark Bamford In 2020, there was 9,5 million of non-UK-born, and 6,1 million of non-British. So it may be as low as UNDER 60 million.

Your figure for English speakers is an underestimate. It does not appear to include the Republic of Ireland, whose population overwhelmingly speak English.
63 million isn't a figure for English speakers, so it doesn't include those who speak it as a second or third language. It's the figure for the native speakers of English, including a majority of the Republic of Ireland's population.

This confirms then that Italian is the most spoken language in Europe?
They have 65 million native Italian speakers. And it is well known that native Italians speak double as much as anybody else? 🤷😊
👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
I feel like there’s a correlation between the strength of a language and the strength of the people who speak it. I’m really trying to feel if it’s a matter of bias or not, but when I hear English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish I hear languages so distinct and potent. It then seems awfully coincidental that these are the languages of legendary modern empires.
Not really but whatever...

Hungarian and Turkish are the two NON-Indo-European languages. The rest are young Indo-European languages.
And therefore?
Indeed, also Finnish, Estonian, Maltese (even if Maltese lexical stock is 50% Italian) and some other internal minority (like the Basques, the Gagausians, the Sami...) speak a non-indoeuropean language.
And therefore?
Moreover, what does it mean "young languages"? All modern languages are modern forms of continuation (with modification, day by day, throughout the centuries) of very ancient languages. So, each language has a full right to claim its origins in deep pre-history.
For instance: Italian. Spanish, French and all the other Romance languages and dialects are different ways and forms of continuation of ancient Latin (being therefore still spoken today, never dead, even if modified and split into many modern "Latins"). But Latin was one of the ancient forms of continuation of an unwritten pre-historical language (reconstructed by indo-european linguistical scholars) now named "common proto-Italic" by the scolarly community (not the only language spoken in pre-Roman Italy, however).
But also "Common Proto-Italic" was only one among the forms of continuation of "Common Proto-Indo-European"... so, we have arrived to millenia before Christ.. and so on, back in mankind's path upon this earth...
And that's something like that for ALL languages...
So, "young" languages do not really exist.
The only recent fact may be, for some language, the official use by some (relatively new) State, but not the very existence of the spoken language.

We don't even agree on basic things. What you wrote has nothing to do with science.
@@benyovszkyistvan408 It doesn't matter, if we don't even agree on basic things. What I wrote HAS to do with "sciences" (not in the sense of experimental laboratory tests, of course: better saying "researches" or "knowledge") like linguistics or glottology.
And this, regardless of consent.
We are not organizing a referendum.
Moreover, besides this few glottological issues I wrote about (which are quite "innocent" - nothing generally considered controversial, in my opinion - and obvious to any young student after the first 6 months of university), I don't manage to undestand which are the other "basic things" we don't agree about. Had we talked about politics, or philosophy, or religion, or the problems of human life? No, indeed. And therefore?
Is the concept that every language (except artificial languages like Esperanto, of course) and every dialect has its roots in a remote pre-history and in transformation throughout the centuries so much a revolutionary concept? So astonishing to you?
I don't think you distinguish between languages spoken 10,000 or 30,000 years ago and languages 2,000-3,000 years old. There are very big differences in voice training, vocabulary, expressiveness, creativity and more. How would the Latin, Slavic, Germanic languages be on the same level as the Dravidian languages? I do not understand you!
@@grantottero4974
According to linguists, the Italian language knows and uses about 30 or 40 verbs that indicate a change of location. Is that a lot? For other languages, this number is much lower. In Hungarian, this number is many thousands! Yes, you read that right. Many thousands. These are all Hungarian words, not foreign words taken from another language! Many may think that this is incredible and doubt it. Linguists are aware of the facts.

@@TheVampirbat Most of Russia is in Asia, territory-wise, with most of the population being in Europe (but not all, which is the key here).
I can see all Belarusians knowing Russian, but not Ukrainians, especially the farther west you go. Millions of people were born between now and the fall of the Soviet Union, and I can imagine a lot of their parents would aim to move away from Russian and focus on Ukrainian. As you can see with the video as well, Ukrainian and Russian are absolutely different languages. Related, sure, and likely a modest degree of mutual intelligibility, but that wouldn't make them the same language (in case you decide to respond by trying to suggest that they are the same).
