I'm from Sri Lanka where the majority speak Sinhalese, and it was a pleasant surprise to realise that I understood most of the Sanskrit.
Sinhalese is an Indo European language
I thought Sanskrit is still used mostly in Hinduism and Buddhism in religious context?
@@indrajeet so is Sanskrit, yea?
what he told? :D
@@YvieT81 Buddhist texts uses the Pali language, simplified and corrupted dialect of Sanskrit
The "Old Chinese" guy was just phoning it in lol
He’s the language student who could do so much better if he just applied himself, instead of getting high all the time, and has just been asked my the teacher to ask for directions to the train station in Old Chinese.
Sounded more like drunken hiccups to me.
I think he got up in front of the class and just winged it
That aint no chineese lol this dude fooling us tf 😂 are other languages right?
He sounds like a tourist trying to order Chinese food a la carte in Chinese, but can’t figure out the words 😂
As a Hindi Speaker, hearing Sanskrit was a muse to my ear and the fach that I understood almost all of the Sanskrit made me happy. 😁😁😁
Please translate it.
Awesome! 👏🏻
Is the grammar still the same?
@@mithrasenkidu9423 nahi bro. Grammer is different. Sanskrit works primarily on karak, vibhakti and varna sandhi. So if you nail those down.! Sanskrit is easy to learn. Comparatively speaking, Sanskrit might have easier grammer than Hindi.
Are they saying what the paragraph says ??
1:02 As a Bengali speaker I could understand most of the Sanskrit sayings. It's probably something like "Shivakumar came at the age of 20 and started his career at an office as a typewriter. At this work he got no promotion. His wife used to make fun of his incapability. Even his neighbours looked down upon him. After all the reprehensions..."
Wow that’s awesome
@@cirina3indeed! I edited the comment, cuz I understood more of it after listening to it today. Interestingly almost all the North Indian languages and a big chunk of the South Indian vocabs find their ancestry in Sanskrit (Prākrit). ❤
😂😂😂😂
Exactly! Fellow Bengali Speaker here...
@@amioAyushmanনমস্কার 🙏
As a Thai native speaker, I recognized some of the words in Sanskrit. I think most of the words I recognized come from our buddhist chants.
It's because of chola empire they influenced thai culture and spread dharma's of india such as Hinduism, buddhism.
I don’t really speak Thai or come from India or religious but I thought I was just tripping when I had the the thought that Sanskrit reminded me slightly of Thai. Glad to see I’m not the only one.
Sawasdeekrub
Indonesia, Combodia (Even have a dravidian style temple in their flag), Thailand all share ancient hindu culture. Sanskrit was the language used. The capital of Thailand Bankok has another name, which is something like Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya, a lot of these words originate from sanskrit/pali
Well, I believe people who believe in Buddhism are understand Sanskrit.
Sinhalese speaker here and its genuinely really nice to see how understandable Sanskrit was for me. The link between Pali and Sanskrit is obvious and the history behind Sinhala is genuinely intriguing considering how its an Indo European language in a sea of Dravidic languages in the region.
Could you tell us what the Sanskrit guy at 1:01 said?
Pffffff jajajsjsjajsjjajsja
@@brianalejandro2502 I see we're still waiting 🤣🤣🤣
@@AdhvaithSane Actually most words in the Sanskrit are directly and indirectly used in Sinhala language and in Tripitaka Manuscripts. So for a Sinhala speaker, we can hear familiar sounds and words when Sanskrit is spoken though we can't fully understand it. Sinhala and Sanskrit is not directly related as Sinhala is a output of the fusion of mainly Pali and Sanskrit languages. But for Religious studies (Buddhism) Sanskrit is studied to have better understanding on religious and old Sinhala literacy texts. So some can fully understand Sanskrit but most of the time, Sanskrit related words are used as it is or converted to Sinhala tongue. As I haven't learned Sanskrit I can't explain the text but, as I'm familiar with old Sinhala literature words like "etha vatha", "hiina bhava", "Jugupsitha" in the Sanskrit extract are familiar to us because we use directly and we frequently hear words like those when we are speaking. (Once I finished my Sanskrit course, I will give an accurate translation)
@@AdhvaithSanehe was saying "Sajivaha Devah" means "Living God" and may be "every living being are God"
Nobody is talking about this, but I was REALLY surprised by the amount of rhotic and rolling r’s in old Chinese! Sounds barely recognizable to Mandarin. Interestingly, Old English vs. modern English has gone through a similar loss of rolling r’s, except in certain accents and dialects like in Scotland and northern England. Edit: Western and rural England, not necessarily northern.
Same with French!
they definitely categorize it wrongly. Chinese language or any of the dialects dont have RRRRRRRRRRRs
Northern England doesn't use rolling r's. The West Country and Cornwall in South West England still are mainly rhotic, but I can't think of any English or Welsh dialect that using rolling r's. I'm pretty sure it's unique to part's of Scotland.
@@samdaniels2 ok thank you so much, I did not know that! I knew that rural areas in England were known for accents more akin to some of the other Celtic countries, and I tend to associate rural with northern for England. Thank you for clarifying that it’s the west country!
Guess us Dutchies are still archaic then 🙃
Hearing Old Chinese > Middle Chinese > Mandarin/Cantonese is a trip.
I don't understand any of the modern variants, but do know Vietnamese and remember learning that 70% of the vocab comes from Middle Chinese, and hearing them makes it make sense.
Makes me wonder what modern languages will progress into after another 500 years or so.
Very interesting! I can't believe I never thought about where our languages could be or change in another 500+ years. I wish I could know.
Old Chinese sounds like something from India or Castellano.....
Taiwanese can understand Middle Chinese...
"Hearing Old Chinese > Middle Chinese > Mandarin/Cantonese is a trip. " for me i dont understand any
@@user-wf7gp4es5i Interesting, does that mean that if Vietnamese was slowed down, Taiwanese speaking people could understand bits and pieces?
I know 1 (Vietnamese) word that is more than likely from Middle Chinese is:
"chuẩn bị"
I only know this because after studying Japanese, I came across 準備, which is pronounced "junbi", and according to google translate, Mandarin pronunciation is "Zhǔnbèi"
Quite interesting in my opinion
@@andrewle7429 junbi in Japanese100% exactly sounds the same as Taiwanese, 準備!!! so many Japanese words just quite exactly the same as Taiwanese. The reason is the period of time Japanese sent a lot of students to Tang Dynasty and people in Tang Dynasty spoke Taiwanese.
as a german, the gothic language was interesting. i imagine this is how non german speakers feel if they hear someone speaking german, but as of today, i was never able to experience this. it is really interesting because it is like my brain registers it as german, but it almost feels like someone is mumbling really bad or there is too much noise around you so you can't really make out what someone is saying to you. a really wild experience.
I am a Crimean Tatar. And our people contain almost the largest number of haplogroups in the world. Our people are divided into three subethnoses: residents of the coastal regions are close to Italians and Greeks. Steppe have signs of Mongoloids. And we, the inhabitants of the mountains, descended from the Goths. They came to Crimea in the 5th-7th century. Although the people as a whole speak a common Turkic language, we are genetically very different and descended from different tribes. Three roots of one nation. Interestingly, it was only in the 16th century that our mountain ethnos finally accepted Islam and began to move from the Greek-Gothic vocabulary to the Turkic one. In appearance, we are above average, about 180-190cm, have blue and green eyes, red hair. Living in the mountains allowed us to remain Goths for a long time, although the language was lost a long time ago.
goths is more like Swedish
It's all Greek to me. LOL.
@@elkingoh4543 yep, Greitungs/ Ostrogoths from Skanza. In Crimea they had “republic” Feodoro, with capital city Skiwarin. archaeologists have found many golden eagles and other household items with Germanic symbols. wooden foundations, typical of the Goths, are also found in the Crimea. During the time of the Khanate, grenadiers and shooters were recruited from their number.

Aramaic almost sounds like Hebrew. I've heard a great deal of the Proto-Indo-European language. I've heard from NativLang that there might also have been the Proto-World language.
I am not sure that aramaic is aramaic. it is hebrew
@@gyovel I'm just saying they sound similar.
Sanskrit has given birth to many of the languages currently spoken in different countries but unfortunately it is no more spoken in its original country: India. We are taught in our primary school but we never use it in our daily life after wards. I could understand a few part of it.
Really 😂😂😂😂😂
@@yogeshwaran2530 your name itself is in sanskrit, coming from the vishnu sahasranama, Krishna is called Yogeshwara by Dhritirashtra's aide Sanjaya when he witnesses the Kurukshetra War. "Yatra Yogeshwara Krishno Yatra Partho Dhanurdharah" as it is said in Vishnu Sahasranama in Mahabharata. And yeah what he said is true.
@@spideyy6863 it doesn't mean i support that dead language Mr. North bitch still it's not even close to Tamil 🥱🔥
In.Spanish and other languages, the sánscrit word for "light", gave origins to Dios, God,, dia, ,day and dan,in Croatian, day.
That's why it's called a dead language.
Because no matter how much time passes, it'll stay the same.
Man, the Proto-indo European sounded like all European languages together...Latin, German, English, Slavic, etc. All of them. Damn that's trippy.
That's how it sounded to me too
Like Latin and German
Unfortunately it wasn't a particularly good rendering. It sounded like an American trying to read a 100-year-old (less accurate) reconstruction.
@LuJoTu yeah, I saw people saying we don't really know how it sounded and that it's only theorized per say. But my imagination still went that direction haha
That's true. PIE Sounds not entirely foreign to me, a Slav. Listen to my recordings (on my kanneł) of Old Polish and dialects. It's Uerune", sounds to me as if I heard a Polish highlander saying "pierunie". You can hear a slightly Anglo-Saxon pronunciation here, but it's inevitable. Greetings
@@LuJoTu It's literally just a recording from @Xidnaf reading it a few years ago.
It was strange that I was able to understand the Sanskrit properly, as I studied it in my 8th standard. An old language spoken thousands of year ago
The Sanskrit you've learnt in 8th was a super simplified one, the real Sanskritam is so much tough like a word contains meaning of the whole sentence, take the example of shiva tandava stotram, it's just of 4 lines, but has the meaning of 2 pages
@@hemantnaidu Laukik Sanskrit is easy to understand & that's what was used in ancient times.
Tough version of it was used for scholarly purposes.
congratulations ....
Your memory must be better than you thought!! :D
Since our languages are mostly based on Sanskrit we can most of the times understand Sanskrit . If you study a bit you can understand texts from the times of Purana. But before Purana times texts you need to study hard grammar & words .
I took a year of Sanskrit in college and just loved it.
what makes it special.
@Jim Kong-Un Rigvedas, a text comprising over 10.000 verses, was written over 5000 years ago.

Wow! Sanskrit sounds so sweet and melodic.... almost like a hymn or a chant.
It was a hymn.
@@colours8846 no it wasn't actually
Yes it's very melodic and rhythmic flowing.
The "Aramaic" was actually Biblical Hebrew. Makes me wonder how much of the other languages were accurate!
AI will be an infinite content milker in the near future so start getting used to more misinformation. YT will probably soon add certain criteria for AI generated content.
Definitely biblical Hebrew, not aramaic
Exactly, I understood every word.
@@Emmaniak those were featured in part 1 afaik
I don't have a lot of knowledge about this family of languages, but can't it be the case Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew are very similar? Like for example Old Norse and Icelandic.
As an Indian Malayalam language speaker (Proto-Dravidian language family), I find Sanskrit really familiar even if I don't know the word meanings. They are still used in many Hindu prayers and there are even Sanskrit language courses. Mostly, thanks to movies and series that shows Hindu hymns being said in them.
CZcams:'die Zuversicht' mit "Die grösste Verschwörung der Geschichte" 👋🇩🇪
Malayalam came from Old Tamil with a lot of Sanskrit Vocabulary.
Sanskrit is more like 900-1000 years old... India has older language than Sanskrit its called Pali which evolved into Sanskrit. Current all Dravidian languages sounds more like pali... Give it a check...
@@user-bx6vw7oh8s lol sanskrit is the oldest ,second comes tamil
@@user-bx6vw7oh8s Samskrita language was spoken by Aryans and it changed due to the native effects after mixing of Aryans and became Prakrits in Northern India and also effected Dravidian languages around India.
2:15 Ea Nasir, where's my copper?!
This is a fascinating effort! I hope you do a part 3 and include ancient Hebrew as well!
The supposedly Aramaic in this video was actually Ancient Hebrew... This was a mistake that they confused the two languages.
If you ever do a part 3, I'd like to suggest medieval Spanish as one of the languages to be showcased :)
Yes! The Spanish of Andalucía during that time is fascinating!
Also Galaico-Portuguese
I was actually looking for Spanish
and also medieval French please
Medieval Spanish is more or less the same as modern Spanish with a few letters and spelling changes. Read El Mio Cid in its original text and tell me that's not modern Spanish. Celtiberian, Grecoiberian, or Tartesian would be cool to hear though.
In Kerala , the south indian state there's an institute named SEERI estd in 1985 to promote Syriac Studies, a dialect of Aramaic. Foreign students even from turkey , stay there and learn syriac.
Well the Aramaic language is sacred language of chrisitians in kerela they came from syria to india that'd why they are known syro malankara christians many study still bur Aramaic as language that to in india has declined alot
@@soumyadipmukherjee6627 actually the teachers here speak purer than the foreigners as most of their language got corrupted by arabic n other tongues. That is why old Syrian is learnt here. As most scriptures are written in that format.
@@Liztastaney7 because the syro malankara chrisitans came to India before islamization of syria hence u will find so .
I know people who still speak and retain ancient Aramaic in Israel. They are semitic and distinguish themselves from Arab and all other Arabic/ Israeli cultures. Very interesting. But they are shrinking in number:'(
@@pugnacious1 There are no native aramaic speakers in israel they’re attempting to revive the language . the real ones are in syria
Wonderful rendition!
I’m Arab. I was able to understand Sabaic (السبئية); He was mentioning the names of some idols and declaration of king named: Shurahbi Elu-Ya'faru (شرحب الُيعفر), and the regions that were under his kingship, such as: Hadramawt (حضرموت), Saba' (سبأ), Yemen (يمن), and other Arabs such as Tihama (تِهامة), Banu Abi Karib (بنو أبي كرب).
Ge’ez was also similar. I think that it spoke about different regions joined in alliance & brotherhood, such as: Aksumite Kingdom, Hadramawt (حضرموت), Saba' (سبأ), Abyssinia (الحبشة).
Aramaic sounds familiar, I only understood few words about a king (Melekh) and his dream (Halumu).
It’s fascinating for many speakers of the descendants of these Ancient Languages to be together here, and discuss it in “English”.
Why do you put English in quotations?
@@timesup6302 Hello. Otherwise, it’ll be (ܡܲܠܟܵܐ) and (ܚܸܠܡܵܐ), which is unintelligible.
Thank you for translating!
I only know a little bit of Arabic, but I thought many of the Sabaic words sounded like Arabic. Good to know that I wasn't just hearing things!
That wasn't Aramaic, it was a Hebrew quote from the Bible.
I’ve always wanted to hear what ancient Sumerian sounded like. I’m actually writing a fictional science fiction series and I use a lot of ancient Sumerian words. I was wondering what it sounded like. Thank you so much
Double-cool! Please publish the book's publication!
Whatever you do, don't use this video as a reference, because he is speaking Akkadian, not Sumerian.
As an Ethiopian, I found that Ge’ez was pretty recognizable, I was even able to translate some of it. I will say however, the way everything was pronounced sounded like an arabic person was reciting them
It was the same voice reciting the Sabaic lines, which also unfortunately were a long list of names of people and places.
I also though it sounded closer to Arabic. As an Arab, I also understood a lot from Sabaic.
1:30 this is not Aramaic, this is biblical Hebrew...
I understood almost everything perfectly
I too would have understand everything if not for this thick foreign accent.
I love this series of videos! Still waiting for Middle Persian and Ancient Persian to be added to the list.
Everything related with modern Arabic language is so beautiful. I love it.
thank you! i always wanted to hear Sanskrit and Aramaic
Well, Sanskrit is still actively used as a religious language in India. The pronunciation, of course, tends to be more or less butchered (much like with Latin, Ancient Greek, Church Slavonic etc.).
As an Odia, I got all the vocab of the Sanskrit excerpt and can trace some grammar, by my knowledge of the Odia language. This is fascinating for me, because I hadn't opted for Sanskrit as a subject in my school days and went for Hindi instead. This makes me more interested to learn the original language of my religious scriptures, seems like half of the work is done.
Apart from that, I got some words from Sabaic and Gaaz, I think so. Some words are similar to Hindi words, which got adulterated into Hindi during Sultanate rule from Arabic. I can only say, we all are quite connected in one way or the other.
Sorry, didn't bother about the PIE. It seems a totally different language, the phonetics and everything. Hard to recognize.
Edit- Some words like Devos, Sukhnus are similar to Sanskrit from PIE, I believe. But, the intonation is so foreign, it feels like very Germanized, no offence to Germans. They speak continuously like that, very flat.
@@infinite5795 As a native Spanish speaker here, I found PIE quite shocking, it sounded more like a mixture of old soft Greek and a bit of Nordic language to me, I found Gothic more related to German mixed with a strong old Greek accent as well than PIE, I didn't hear any connection with Indo languages neither. Since phonetics are totally different as you noticed.
There ‘was’ no proven existence of any language called ‘PIE’. PIE is an hypothesised language for linguistics study. Rest everything of it like pronunciation, looks of the people who spoke it are imaginary.
You are Odia, isn't it? I'm imterested in how does sound for you old Polish and Polish dialects recordings in my kanneł. In compare to for example Italian, Russian, Czechian, French, Sanskrit,
@@PolishSoundodia is derived from sankrit so he can understand atleast basic sankrit indo aryan language are conservative and very close but when it comes to polish it has diffrent sounds which dont exist in indo aryan like w z ž these kinda sounds dont exist so very hard to call it familar yeah some words which are very obvious can be felt but more or less it sounds very foreign even russian. Closest language to sanskrit is iranian then baltic then slavic. For slavic Closest is baltic then germanic then indo iranian so difference is very high. Diffrence is very high between sanrkit and european branches except for some features
What a fantastic compilation. Thank you!

Same!
Love these videos. Just wanted to say that I also like the touch you did during the "Sanskrit" section, where you highlighted and changed the text color based on the background. That little detail did not go unnoticed. 👌
1:35 As an Israeli Jewish person who is familiar to Aramaic from the Thalmud, this "Aramaic" is actually Hebrew, certainly not Aramaic.
I love these videos, and absolutely want to see more!
Actually, it's not Aramaic at all, but rather Hebrew, in which the first Biblical verses of the second chapter of the Book of Daniel - were originally written - and recited in the video. As a native Hebrew speaker like you, I could easily understand every word in the text, as an Ancient Hebrew text. Further, I can also read and understand Biblical Aramaic, but the text recited in the video is by no means Aramaic, but rather pure Ancient Hebrew.
What was he saying, out of curiosity?
@Nate nebuchadnezzar and him calling his servants and scribes after having a dream
@@edenpro2 I had a feeling and hoped it was a recital of scripture, thanks! This makes it so much better, the AI even has a resemblance of Christ.
lol also they made the aramaic speaker suspiciously not like the other semitic groups...wonder why
@@Nate-bn5kk Christ was a Judean - Judeans definitely didn't have blue eyes and light hair or white skin and probably didn't have straight hair. Research on ancient skeletons of Judean-related peoples in the region and time that Christ lived shows that they looked most like modern day Iraqis - brown eyes, brown or black hair, and olive skin. There is no evidence, even in the Bible, of Christ having blue eyes. It is crazy to me that people think that an ancient Jewish Middle Eastern man would somehow look like a Northern European.
If someone told me the Gothic language at 3:30 was Swiss German, I would've believed them
Very likely related...

It's wonderful to hear that languages of the past. The people that I have studied in the school in History, how they had spoke their languages, it's very fantastic.

As I said with the other video with Old English and Old Norse, you can tell the relationship Gothic has to German, but it sounds vastly different to other Germanic languages. You can hear the similar roots in all three, but they each have a different tonal quality and pronunciation that make them foreign to each other
As a Swede, I’m associating Gothic with Proto-Norse, possibly also Old Norse, but mostly pre-Viking era. This could be because it’s what I’m most familiar with
It's really amazing these vids. It's like going back in time ,with headphones, on ❤
Being a Goth in the 80's, I was surprised to learn that I knew how to speak the Gothic Language.
Expected to hear Aramaic, was not disappointed in the slightest! I absolutely loved hearing it.
Amazing. So similar in many ways
The Aramaic was an excerpt from the book of Daniel I believe, about Nebuchadnezar dreaming and asking his magicians what they meant. I am Jewish and we still study and pray (partyly) in Aramaic. I understood 90% of it though the accent was certainly different.
Thank you for your insight, I wondered what the translation would be! :)

@@yoops66 Still understandable
Both Semetic and Aramaic is conaidered by us Jews simply as ancient Hebrew

I love these videos. It’s extremely fascinating to think of all the lost languages and just history in general over the course of humankind.
Just imagine all the information we would know if it wasn’t for the Burning of The Library of Alexandria.
There were multiple libraries burned over the centuries. Alexandria was not the receptacle of all the world's knowledge at the time, either. That story is a fake we need to replace with actual truth.
That was a HUGE LOSS to all Civilizations.
The Alexandria Library burned by the Romans held so much information we could have used today.
The True History of the Ancients was lost and at Best, tried to be re created.
Sadly the Library of Alexandria is but one of numerous ancient libraries that were burnt or destroyed- either intentionally or accidentally (such as natural disasters,etc)

Sanskrit is the oldest one and I learn for 3 yrs in my 8to 10th grade. It's fun and easy to understand if you are indian. Cuz most of the language form by sanskrit language.
In some reason for me as russian, sanscrit sound like normal speech like i used to but words is not understandable
Russian has some common words with Sanskrit
It's classical sanskrit. Vedic sanskrit is mother of this sanskrit so listen to vedic I'm surely u will find alot more similarities
Maybe because Russia is right above China so the language mixed a bit?

I am really fascinated to hear those ancient extinct languages! I wonder if you could elaborate on how those sounds were determined? Is there some ancient document that cross references pronunciations between a known ancient language and an extinct one?❓
Thank you for including Ge'ez from Ethiopia!! I think it's an excerpt from the "Kibre Negest" Meaning honor of kings. Good job!!
geez come from south Arabia, they culture, civilization, and writing script base on old south Arabian, they mixed with local black, that why they have advance civilization and spoke Semitic, same with Madagascar it's Malayan from southeast asian borneo and sumatra mixed with black bantu.
@@safuwanfauzi5014 that's the stupidest explanation I've heard so far!! Geez has nothing to do with south arabic! Read recent studies!!
@@samuelkebede4231 geez - old south arabian that is the fact.
@@samuelkebede4231 ethophian come from south arabian, just like madagacar come from borneo and sumatran.
@@safuwanfauzi5014 ha ha ha!! Yes keep making stuff up!!! What is Ethiopian? There are over 80 languages in Ethiopia which one are talking about? Don't repeat to me what some white guy told you years ago. Read recent research studies. Previously it was wrongfully thought Geez came from S.Arabic but recent studies show Geez has nothing to do, is very much older and has it's own different line of language called "Afro Semetic". Like I said it wouldn't kill you to read up!!
amazing. I can understant some of the place names. like yemen, ,habasha (in the old arabic thing) crazy how you can understand language of old. you can also do language over time. or how language of a place changes.
phenomenal
Afro-Asiatic
• Aramaic 1:31
• Ge'ez 3:00
• Sabaic 0:31
Indo-European
• Gothic 3:30
• Proto-Indo-European 0:00
• Sanskrit 1:01
Sino-Tibetan
• Old Chinese 2:31
Sumerian
• Sumerian 2:01
Aramaic is not an Afro Asiatic language.
Also, Sabaic is a language with south Arabian origins which later influenced Ge'ez in ancient Ethiopia due to the geographical location and empires trading, ruling eachother.
@@Hamada932 No. They are both Afro-Asiatic.
Aramaic and sabaic are not afro - asiatic!!!
@@shuy4029 than, what are they???
What does it mean by Indo European?
Really happy to hear Sanskrit
I would like to clarify more about "Sabaic" It is a very ancient Semitic language. the name of the Sabaean language came from a man named "Saba" who lived in "Yemen" and was mentioned in the Quran and in the Sunnah. the people of Saba have spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. they now constitute half of the Arab race and are known as the Arabs of the South as well as "Qahtan" and the other half are from several Semitic tribes known as the Arabs of the North such as "Adnan", the Nabateans, the Phoenicians, and others. the southern Semites mixed with the northern Semites in the Arabian Peninsula and because of that the Arabic language appeared, so we can say that the Sabaean language is the origin of the Arabic language and many more languages than those mentioned in this video like Arabic, Amharic, Taghriti, Himyarite, Mahri, Khawlani etc. for information the northern Semitic languages are close to Arabic but the Southern Semitic languages are very very close to Arabic. and all the Semitic peoples came from Yemen.
Bro it would be great to include the old Persian as well, it's one of the oldest ones and I'm interested to see how it sounds like
2:01 Straight up facts from my boy Ea-Nasir!
😂
I grew up in a Buddhist family, so hearing the Sanskrit just sounded like he was saying a prayer 😂😄.
he was giving a moral lecture so you aren't that wrong lmao
Aside from the linguistic reconstructions themselves, I must say I enjoy the culturally-embellished animations of different humans in these videos.
Idk about others but i do understand our oldest language and im kinda proud that we still use our oldest language ....it really connect us to our ancestors
As a Lithuanian I could understand the general gist of protoindoeuropean. He was telling something about son and father that had something to do with horses and the sun (or maybe work), father was adressing the God Velunos (in prayer perhaps?) and Velunos answered him
It's amazing to see how sanskrit has been preserved even after thousands of years!
That is not Aramaic, it is Hebrew pronounced by a Yemenite. I clearly identify every word.
It's not a Yemenite. It's an AI robot, fed by the sounds of all Ancient Hebrew consonants and vowels restored by linguists . Yemenites don't pronounce the Qamatz and the Segol the way the robot pronounces them. Also, the word Kasdim was pronounced by the robot as the linguists restore the Ancient Hebrew pronunciation of this word, i.e. very similar to Kashdim (yet not identical to Kashdim), again contrary to how Yemenites and all Modern Hebrew speakers pronounce this word. Actually, linguists claim that the left Sin in Ancient Hebrew was not pronounced like Samekh, but rather like how Tibetians pronounce the first consonant of their Capital city: Lhasa (i.e. like a voiceless L), just as the Semitic (non-Jewish) inhabitants of the island Sokotra in Southern Yemen pronounce the left Sin in their Semitic Language.
Thanks, I also saw that he is not right - Equator, in past episode he read ancient slav as polish😂
@@tripleh2621 wait a sec. you mean that ai read old slavic with nosal sounds or what? as a person who learns it in institute, i thought it is how it is supposed to be. (sorry for bad english)
@@regushi3733 As a person that knows Russian(native language), DEFINITELY knows how old Slavic language sounds (Church Slavic is nearly identical) and DEFINITELY knows how sounds Polish(was studying Polish when I was little) I can tell without doubt that what AI read is NOT ancient Slavic but some western modern Slavic similar to Polish but maybe old one
Well I don’t know if you knew about this, but a lot of jewish families in certain areas still pray in Aramaic : like my grandfather, he learned the Shabbat prayer from his ancestors, but they are closer to Aramaic than they are to hebrew.
Very interesting videos. I've subscribed. Thank you for posting them. As I said on your previous video on the same subject, it would have been nice to have had a translation of what they were saying. Also could you please make sure that the writing overlaid on the video is in a clear font and doesn't fade into the background. For instance, the Sumerian one is barely visible.
Good contents here!
