For me, you are absolutely right. lol

I’ll share the feedback from a linguistics professor regarding this video. The Chinese part, he praised the use of characters, especially the one from the Qin Dynasty, which was copied from archaeological discoveries. This is a great touch and mostly aligns with historical truth. However, the pronunciation isn’t that smooth, especially when some pronunciations imitate the rhythmic features found in historical texts, neglecting the natural intonation and rhythm of spoken language. He suggested borrowing some conversational features from modern dialects. The Indian Sanskrit part, he has only been exposed to some relevant research and has conversed with linguistics professors in China about Sanskrit issues. The Sanskrit simulation in the video resembles what he’s heard from Buddhist monks using Sanskrit for prayers. Since he doesn’t understand Sanskrit himself, he liked the Sanskrit simulation based on what he’s heard from Buddhist prayers but doesn’t know if it’s accurate. The Greek and Latin parts, he didn’t find them good, they just didn’t sound right to him, so he didn’t offer any evaluation. However, my American friend received feedback from his English teacher in the US, saying the writing part was good because it noted that ancient Greek and Latin didn’t have lowercase letters. For the pronunciation, he suggested finding Italians, Greeks, or people from the Eastern European region along the Black Sea to record it, as the current recording is not that good. So, I’m not sure how credible these simulations are. Initially, I thought the Sanskrit simulation was quite successful because that professor praised it. However, a brother from India said the Sanskrit part is completely incorrect. Now, I’m a bit confused and need to spend some time researching it again. Or if the pronunciation could be improved, I might redo it.

@elchuro That ancient India script, where you get it? Is it from the Ashoka pillar?

@@BelldassHoffman Sort of.... Actually, the process is a little bit complex. 1.I consulted a professor about how Sanskrit was written in ancient India. The answer I got was that ancient Sanskrit didn't have its own script and was possibly written using Brahmi script, later using a script similar to modern Indian scripts. The professor didn't know much about Sanskrit, so I didn't get a definitive answer. 2. Just googled and found answers that more or less confirmed what the professor had said. 3. It was all about Google, lots of Googling where I found the Brahmi script on Ashoka's pillar as a real artifact and copied those characters from it.

That's exactly what my friends told me. Yes, friends from Beijing.

The timeline is not a dynasty timeline, I choose these emperors not based on Chinese, Indian, or Roman dynasties, but according to an interval of approximately 200-300 years between each emperor.The Yuan Dynasty lasted for too short a time. You can also see that the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are not included. Starting with the early Qin Dynasty because that period was prominent in China, India, and the Mediterranean. The absence of the Qing Dynasty is because by that time, India was under British rule, and the Mediterranean had already taken on a near-modern European form, Roma's gone.

Based on some historical literature and the guidance of a professor, it is not entirely accurate because the precision of AIGC is insufficient.

@elchuro still more accurate than what we see in cdramas

@@beujwarlord Maybe the TV drama producers simply don't like Chinese culture. I recommend a Chinese TV series, "三国演义". First broadcast in China in 1994. The costumes and props, including many of the decorative details, are recreated based on archaeological artifacts. It’s really, really well done. Many of my friends told me that it didn’t feel like acting, it felt like a real Han Dynasty.Except one thing, the spoken accents are in modern Mandarin. Still, the language used is quite true to the vocabulary and expressions of the Han dynasty.

That bad? Any perfect pronunciation guides to help? Voices were sampled from 2 Chinese guys and 2 American guys. And followed this for ancient Sanskrit pronunciation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit In the 2nd one (1-30AD), the word "god" is the ancient Greek word “ΘΕΟΣ”, meant to fit the "Greece-India" dynasty.

​@elchuro If you want voice samples for ancient Indian languages, just have a contact with me. The rendition is really not good for Indian languages in ur video. Are u in Telegram.

@@rtam7097 Thank you for taking the lead :)

@@elchuro Yeah unfortunately it is mate. There is a good video highlighting the old Vedic tones. VEDIC SANSKRIT & RUSSIAN. Check this out. I personally know the modern Krishna YajurVeda renditions but this video shows Vedic Sanskrit when it was still spoken on the plains of Eurasia

@@rtam7097 That would be a huge help. Much obliged. I don't have any social app. I'm a rookie on all these online things. At work, by email and phone call. At home, I'm not a freeman, got kids. Is email okay?

Thanks a lot. And, at your service, as always

For the ancient Chinese part, He‘s a native Hakka speaker. lol

That's with all of the languages 😅 it's like an ai American dude saying everything 😂

They've tried their best to hide their mother tongue. LOL

@@UnusualDeath It seems the influence of one's mother tongue can’t be hidden. Fake another language is just too hard. But I need to clarify one thing: that ancient Chinese was indeed spoken by Chinese people😂

Considering him a well educated man makes sense. lol

He was born in Beijing in February 1906, but lived outside the Forbidden City until November 1908, when he was almost 3 years old. In November 1908, he was made emperor and taken into the Forbidden City, where he lived from 1908 to 1924. Still, in Beijing. He was already a 16 yrs old lad then.

Such high-precision details? Not AI, not by now.

Yeah.

Here it is. The 讚. lol

The emperor and the Beijinger. lol

Her teacher was from England.

Yeah, he was a well educated man.

Alright, so when’s the last time you and him had a little reunion? lol

@elchuro Ooh I don’t know it was so long ago I think the last time was at Zaitians funeral.

@cartilyy Wow, heavens above! Then, Mr. Methuselah, may I ask two questions? 1. Puyi was only three years old back then. How did you achieve such temporal-spatial precision to accurately recognize and confirm someone’s appearance across two time points separated by over a century? Was it a demonstration of quantum entanglement? Or perhaps an advanced neural network-based AI reconstruction? 2. May I inquire about your current chronological age? Somewhere in the range of 150-200 years, as estimated by carbon dating?

Yes.

“the most” famous, then. lol

Good eye.

The term "Mandarin" here does not refer to THE "Mandarin," but rather to THE "official". In fact, throughout China's thousands of years of history, there has always been an "Mandarin", I mean, THE "official". Otherwise, how would the emperors communicate with officials from all over the country, especially all of the foreign-sounding dialects. lol

She was Yu Der-ling, AKA Elisabeth Antoinette White, and Lizzie Yu. She has been identified by folks in the comments.

@@elchuro Owh! My apologies for the ignorance and thank you for answering too! 😁 Cheers mate!

@@kaiserammar2901 Cheers buddy. lol

Thanks buddy, it's my honor. lol

I think I know what you mean, but I'm not sure whether it means I know what you mean. I mean what I know about what you mean may not be what you exactly mean since I said I know what you mean. lol

If u take over Zhongyuan in ancient times then ur language will become Chinese.

Flip through your middle school history textbook, the answers might be there. lol

Actually, Mandarin is also a dialect.

@@elchuro Mandarin is mixed by south accent(actually different language) and north accent. It is not dialect I guess.

@@Aimer520 Strictly speaking from a linguistic perspective, I think what you said might be correct. This accent likely began to take shape starting from the Ming Dynasty when Beijing became the capital, or perhaps it is the result of the mutual influence and fusion of the local Beijing accent, the Nanjing accent, and other regional accents.

Yes, he was lucky.

Not a single bit? For sure?

It's not President Trump, yeah, I've got the solid evidence. Thanks buddy.

@elchuro then delete video

@@EugeneLatterman Any valid reason?

Yeah, so can I. lol

Yeah, it makes sense. I'll find it. Thanks buddy.

good eye
