In today's episode of Languages of the World, we're talking about Papua New Guinea, indisputably the country with the most native languages.
Despite only having four official languages, Papua New Guinea has an astonishing 832 native languages spoken within its borders. Such diversity makes it a linguist's playground! Full of creoles based on English and German, Papuan languages, and the Austronesian languages that originated in Taiwan and spread through Oceania to places like Madagascar and New Zealand, Papua New Guinea simply cannot be summarized in a single video. But I have tried. Enjoy!

Great info. Thanks
Papua New Guinea owns the Eastern portion of the island of New Guinea. But ALL of the island is like that, and not just the eastern part. Western New Guinea is also incredibly diverse. I wish people woud've talk about New Guinea in general, and not just about one partr of it that became independent because of colonial borders.
I am from Papua new Guinea. Hi
Thanks bro. Please do more PNG videos especially the Hiri Moale Festival
Why the English speaking people when refering to the Celtic language of Iberia, name it "Celtiberian" when Spanish people call it just "Celta" or "Céltico" meaning just Celt
Because they are different languages.
Because it's expressed in a latin language and is also an endonym description, why put on a redundant descriptor on something in your region.
@@EriniusT Iberia is the name for whole of the Spanish and Portuguese peninsula, the Celtic part of Iberia is Galicia in northwestern Spain.
Can you do a full video on different sign languages? (ASL, BSL, LSF, AUSLAN) 😊🤟🏻
How does one be impressed by the spread of Austronesian languages and still undersell just how impressive it actually is.
Champa is Austronesia language of Vietnam. until Viet annex the last of Champa Kingdom/Cham people land. Cham famous with temple structure and Candi, nice stone-brick palace. many of them are destroyed. and American bomb many cham temple and complex
Who knew that Austronesian was the lingua Franca of Papuans
@@parisan9985 not the highlands and Sepik people don't speak Hiri motu
@@katahi0749 all I know is that coastal and lowlander papuans are Austronesian mixed or Austronesian influenced, while highland papuans and most inland people are not.
Here is a Hiri Moale festival. The boat looks like a Polynesian boat.

The kids, especially the girls, look a bit Austronesian. Btw What's the song is about?:
m.czcams.com/video/1HRYzts-joo/video.html
@@parisan9985 There are 35 languages in Central province. 10 are Austronesian....The language in the song is that of Keapara, an Austronesian language. The song is more or less admiring the beauty of Kapari village (the singers village)..... Please note that locally, the language is referred to as Aroma. Keapara is separate, even though has been classified by Linguists as one with the language in the song....As a local, I believe more studies may reveal that Keapara is separate from Aroma language
The Mi in Tok Pisin reminded me of the mi in Swahili, which is a contraction of the word mimi, referring to an subject pronoun in 1st person singular in Swahili, mi serves that purpose in Swahili 🇰🇪 Example: mi ninaenda shule- Iam going to school
Good video, mate
Any Idea of why the Invader terms did to even owerpower (not talking about military history) the Celtic natives of Britain to spread terms like "Brittany" and "Kernow" (just a few but their meaning of these words shouldn't mean their lands)
That is absolutely right
Thank you ❤🇵🇬💯🔥
Good
I only heard of Tok Pisin- an English -based creole and Hiri Motu-another creole influenced by English, German and other regional languages. English is an official language
Did Hiri MOtu originate from the Hiri expeditions ?
cool
Dani are from West Papua not Papua new Guinea
why can't I find the American anthem in other languages? (I want to hear it in German) I can find the Canadian in Chinese, Ukrainian, Scottish Gaelic and MORE!
Diego Ragot bc it's imperialist shit
+Blx they should do it in other languages! (I think there are in French and Chinese but hard to find)
You can find its lyrics if you go to the Wikipedia article of the Star Spangled Banner and read it in German, but of course it's just the lyrics
Janco van der Westhuizen I know that, but I would feel it sweet If it was already in CZcams
I can speak Punjabi and English. But I need to learn how to read and write in Punjabi.
Can u please translate "teacher" in papua new guinea langguage?
Annoying video: you actually didn't bother give examples of some of the 800 native languages with no European connection ...
Here are some examples.

@@darkbloodprince2350Wiki expressly says that Papuan languages are NOT Austronesian?
Here you can hear recent news in Tok Pisin, Micheal . www.abc.net.au/radio-australia/programs/wantok/wantok/9942466
Wow! Thanks for the link.
How many languages in whole papuan island i mean west Papua and Papua New Guinea?
More than 800 languages for Papua New Guinea alone.
860
1000+
I speak Hiri Motu
Oh hello Papuans 🤗 which language do you speak with other? Is it also hiri motu or instead you use Tok Pisin?
What languages can you speak fluently?
I'd say I speak English the most fluently, followed by French. I can understand and express myself effectively in French 90% of the time. After that, I'd say I'm pretty good in Italian and Afrikaans. I can understand/read German pretty well, but speaking is super hard for me. I'm still at a beginner level for Russian :)
The Polyglot Files Do you think you could ever handle any asian languages like Japanese or chinese?
+Ben Simon I'd love to! unfortunately, I have a lot of languages on my plate right now, but in the future, I'd love to learn Mandarin, Japanese or Korean.
The Polyglot Files I am trying out Japanese now and it is not that hard. It is not easy but if you take it slow its fine. I use the App memerise.
That's super exciting! Best of luck :)

Did the language originate in the sugar cane plantations of Queensland?

It’s humor
I'd like to be one of his students. He's very articulate. 😍👌
I can teach you several languages of Papua New Guinea
Your "correct" German sentence is still wrong
Lol! Just goes to show that I speak Standard German incorrectly pretty regularly. What should the sentence say instead?
The Polyglot Files something like
"In dieser Zeit wird über viele Dinge nicht gesprochen"
Unfortunately so many mistakes. With a lot of things you say, I can recognize what source you used and how you understood it incorrectly.. Please do more research before posting! Check out langfocus for some well-researched videos (also for example on Tok Pisin!).
Full of crap
This was a bit of a let down. You didn't really say much about the languages of Papua New Guneae. I was hoping you'd speak about the number of language families and dialects, levels of mutual intelligibility etc. Not just the broken English and broken German. It's like Speaking about the Languagrs of India and only mentioning Indian English. Every colonized country has their version of a broken European Language, not very interesting.
We don't speak German
