In mexico that also happend with spanish in most areas

Hey! I'm glad you're back with videos! =) As a language enthusiast living in Brazil, wanting to learn the languages of indigenous peoples and being probably autistic myself, I know how it feels. All the part of people not understanding fundamental linguistic concepts is always a big challenge to deal with. I had some online classes with indigenous people trying to teach their language, but the difficulty in communication between them and the students (as both lacked a basic linguistic background) was huge. There were grammatical aspects like case, infixation, inclusive and exclusive we, etc, and fonological aspects such as long and short vowels and consonants, that the teacher understood simply because they were a native speaker but were unable to explain to the students in a way they could understand. I could grasp some things because of my linguistic knowledge, but other things were also very difficult to me when I had no previous knowledge of anything about the language's grammar. And there's almost no available material to study, and when there is some, it is often from missionaries trying to convert indigenous people to Christianity. Kind of disheartening. 🥲

This is very biassed, but I like obscure writing systems and conventions. It just gives the language its own spice. Spelling consistency is a relatively recent thing in Linguistics. Think about the uncommon “ă,” “ș,” and “ț” letters in Romanian, my native language, for /ə/, /ʃ/, and /t͡s/. Then there’s Welsh, where many letters are pronounced completely different from expected, like “f” for /v/ and “ff” for /f/, while there is no assigned sound to “v” outside of loanwords. I like how Polish uses “w” for /v/ for no reason, but doesn’t use “v.” And have you seen how many diacritics are used in Czech? That thing’s majestic! And the weird use of accents in Icelandic to indicate diphtongs, such as “á” for /aw/ and “é” for /je/, with the best part being the preservation of “þ” and “ð.” Again, I feel like standing out in some way or another when it comes to writing gives some pride to the people writing in their native language.

someone needs to do this but for indigenous america

I LOVE ARRERNTE SO MUCH

Mom: It'a almost midnight already, get off your phone Me: One last video

The underline diacritic can't be made on any keyboard I have used. If you use diacritic there are many better ones. Like ŤĎŇ. But still some keyboards seems to not be able to make any diacritics..

Not many fricatives in this video

Are the white spots on the map areas that belong jointly to two or more groups? I’ve been curious about this.

1:30: When you get lazy and just repeat the name of the region to make it sound longer.

amazing video! makes me wonder a video of this sort would be like if it was on baed on canada, or north america.. or the whole of the ameicas.. my lord.. that video would be several hours long

Omg this is great, I just stumbled on this after finishing a term paper about Pitjantjatjara earlier today! Just as a note because I assume watchers of this video will find it interesting: Ususally the first tja in Pitjantjatjara is skipped (my term paper was about this phenomenon in part btw :P), so it's pronounced as just 4 syllables, Pitjantjara, but afaik it's not wrong to still pronounce that syllable in careful speech.

The person that named the language Peerapper was definitely a time traveller that wanted to do a lil trolling

Screaming my lungs out when I heard Wathaurong 😅

I could barely understand what you said Can someone write the story with lines or something

Australia!

Australia?

Gradually watermelon vibes

They should show this in schools 🖤💛❤️

where is the shooter bit in the witness?

Incorrect. I’m sorry, but you didn’t phrase your answer in the form of a question.

Source? Impressed on how Australia has been neatly divided into these seemingly perfect boundaries of clans. What was the population at the time? Looks like a few million…

3:50 wait for Nakako

Why the end shot so short, could have last for few more seconds to let audience be able to see instead of the ads pop out straightaway

Very helpful, thank you

I started learning Spanish because.... I actually don't know why, but there are a lot of reasons to do it. Now im having fun and so i continue. Also this video is REALLY good. Less than 100k views is criminal Empiecé aprender español por qué..... no sé. Pero disfrutarlo. Pues me gusta escuchar mucho música en español. Abak es muy genial y fantástico. La igual con la banda Nostra Morte. Mi español no es bueno, pero no me importa

Hi, you say "only a few" have official writing systems. I haven't done a count, but I would have thought it's a lot more than "a few"! (fellow linguist here, Australianist).

Put this in 1.25x speed!

idk if your aboriginal too but as a wiradjuri person thank you for making this

Pls do indonesia

Looking at the definition of it, I find it a good concept. Papua New Guinea: Skull emoji.

Australia DOESN'T HAVE MANY STATES ONLY 6 STATES

I don’t live in Australia. But I do love Australia.

ხვალე მოვუსმენ ამ მუსიკას❤😂

Perfect, absolutely perfect 👌

Came for a Stanley parable video, stayed for the linguistics! Very nice video! I learned German partly to graduate high school, and partly to be able to read and understand important works in my field of engineering. There’s something awe inspiring about being able to, albeit poorly, understand works by someone who doesn’t speak my native language but gets excited about the same mechanism as me.

Why are there little white spaces?

I started learning Mandarin because I'm fascinated by Chinese characters. Kanji were my favourite part of the Japanese language, which I studied in school, and Chinese languages are essentially all kanji. Some of the simplified versions are excessively simplified and look ugly but overall I love how Mandarin looks. I also like the sound system, the history and culture behind the language, how I look like Indiana Jones deciphering hieroglyphics when I can read Chinese in front of my white friends, and how much depth there is. Mandarin Chinese is also something of a prestigious language in Australia, and quite useful. I like danmei too

wow this was a really fun video! thanks, i needed this. my reason for starting to learn turkish was basically just for fun. i thought it looked like a cool language with interesting grammar and a beautiful phonaesthetic. thinking of a goal is hard, but i guess i'd like to comfortably understand turkish media like songs and dramas without needing to look up every other word in a dictionary like i do now. also the "why would i feel the need to count?" part was so relatable. language learning is fun, i'm not trying to impress anyone with a number :))
