Hey dude, I can see you’re new and only have a few thousand subs, I think you have the potential to become a huge TH-camr! Your work is top notch, I enjoyed the presentation so much I subscribed and shared on the spot, good luck, I hope you blow up!

this is a very good videos, and i would like if you to cover more non-european languages

I enjoyed your presentation very much. I live in Japan, am a qualified Shinto priestess, and aware of the deep connection between Ainu culture and Japan's indigenous religion, but even now, I encounter very little information in Japan. There is still a tendency to discriminate, unfortunately.

rewatching, and now liking and commenting to help the reupload

Is the linguistic origin of the Ainu language known?

I never thought of that! How stupid am I never came across this thought. Thank you for this content!

I am getting a bit of deja vu

00:20 saying Sapporo but actually showing Hong Kong??

Generation weeezzzz you did your homework work it is extremely extensive academics hights level I aJapanese American third generation went to Japanese and regular American public school. Having to read and writing the very old style you are inspirational ❤️

It’s misleading to say Manchus is the ancient language of Chinese.

You begin by referring to a country called "Turkiye" with an umlaut I can't easily type and am not minded to find out how. The English name is Turkey, regardless of what people living there call it. We don't, after all, refer to Deutschland, Sverige or Italia and neither do theTurks,

Would have been cool to hear the language spoken.

ainus are actually considered to be the natives of not only Hokkaido but the entire japanese archipelago, being associated with the jomon culture

Kamui

Sure, this is a machine voice! And surely it must had been created by MI6!

ah, sorry this had copyright issues, it was a great video! I'll leave it to play to the end to give you the algo juice to climb back up!

Oof. Copyright issues stink huh. I had a problem with that recently.

first, wow never been first before, anyway, exited for the video. languages before the main language of a place is really a cool subject that i think has practically infinite stuff to find.

Jumping in the comments to note a possible typo in the video 倭人 is read “わじん” (Wajin) according to the DAIJIRIN Japanese dictionary. Waijin would instead be 矮人 “short person”

I majored in linguistics at UC Berkeley. The content is not only accurate but very informative. Well done

Superlative presentation.

France doesn't just have French as a romance language, it also has occitan and corsican which are romance languages, Italy also has neopolitan, Sardinian, and sicilian which are romance languages and Spain also has Catalan, Aragonese and Galician as romance languages, although some might consider Galician to be the same as Portuguese.

The loan words at the end is the best part.

Ainu once fought in Karafuto against Nivkhs, who were subjugated to the Mongols.

6:10 This might be the best ad placement I've ever been witness to

I am garo tibet nationality

Sorry bro, but there is a lot of inaccurate information and bias when presenting the facts

Ainu are amazing but WRONG WRONG WRONG! How is this misinformation HAPPENING OVER AND OVER? Ainu are "most likely" indigenous to Hokkaido, but are indigenous to a LARGE area around the Sea of Okhotsk, like you mentioned. But it goes so much further. Ainu are Jomon. Japanese are partially Jomon. (All Japanese prior to modern immigration are at least 10% Jomon, but are upwards of 50%+ in some areas and in areas averaging over 20%.) Another way to say this is that Asians that lack any Jomon DNA come from a place outside of the Japanese ancestral line. Yet Japanese are not Ainu, yet both are Jomon. How is this possible? Its becuase of the Emishi. Sakhalin Island of Russia (Japanese call it Karafuto, based off an Ainu word) is the Ainu homeland although none are left. They are not indigenous to Karafuto/Sakhalin based off their own Ainu legend that celebrates the defeat of the Nivkh people that Ainu language calls the Tonchi. Karafuto/Sakhalin was taken over by the Ainu who defeated the Nivkh (The Ainu may have been fleeing mainland Asia Nivkh incursions, which makes it ironic, but this isn't clear and either way its not like there was any coordination back then so this would just be a coincidence happening over centuries) Lastly, yes there is tons of Jomon evidence in northern Japan but none of it is tied to Ainu, there is no evidence of Ainu history in northern Honshu island of Japan. I am not saying there was no Ainu, I am saying there is no evidence. Yes, there is plenty of Jomon evidence all over Japan. Experts determined this because Hokkaido/Ezo and Karafuto/Sakhalin Ainu are Hunter Gatherers. Whereas the rest of Japanese Jomon history shows signs of agriculture for millennia. Also Jomon Japanese pottery isn't the same as Ainu. So I think you are confused that Jomon means the same people. The Jomon genetics that lives through modern Japanese have to do with the Emishi people.

interesting

bro got some DSLs

These comments are killing my brain cells

Amazing video bro 👍

you use allot of linguistic jargon without defining those terms, it makes it hard for the layman to follow.

Have you even TRIED pronouncing the "Th" sound properly, insteading of just pronouncing "f" for both "f" and "th". It's.... really not that hard. Give it a try, bro. You sound goofy as fuck.

The editing is qmazing but in 4:30 it makes impossible to understand th examples. Sometimes keeping it simple in such cases as showcasing grammar and sentence structure is better.

this channel is rly cool i cant believe this doesn't have way more views? ❤

The description about the handing over of Shkhalin island and Kuril islands to Russia in 1875 is incorrect. According to the Treaty of Saint Petersburg signed between Japan and Russia in 1875, Russia gained sovereignty of the whole Shkhalin island and Japan gained sovereignty of Kuril islands. It's a treaty of territorial exchange. Kuril islands were not handed over to Russia in 1875, on the contrary, it was Japan who had Kuril islands in her possession since 1875. See: Treaty of Saint Petersburg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint_Petersburg_(1875)

I specialize in Japanese prehistory and always brace myself for videos on these topics, but this one was well researched. I like the chill vibe and infographics. (This is super nitpicky, but given how little we know about the early Yayoi migration, I generally prefer just saying mainland Asia instead of Korea or China. Recent findings basically threw a wrench into a lot of dominant ideas. One popular theory is that many came from the Amur basin through Korea, which would include modern-day Russia as well. Later sinicized migrations came from Korea and the Daliao river basin, which is more certain.)

Hey, this video is great, but the scenes with your face feel really weird and uncanny. The camera is way too close, and you ask questions without making any expressions with your face. It feels like a creepy animatronic is talking to me. The way you implemented these shots doesn't add to the video; It slightly detracts. Could you try to set the camera back a bit farther next video. Also, if you make more curious facial expression or use your hands/shoulders when asking questions, it would add visual storytelling/communication. I believe it would make this video twice as good with these changes.

Question: Are the Wajin (倭人 / 和人) the same as the rice agriculturalists? I always heard that Wajin was another name for the Japanese Yamato people (大和民族).

Great job!!!!! Great Video...

I went on holiday with my parents to Brittany a couple of times in the 1970s. I remember the slogan "Je suis breton et j'en suis fier" (I am Breton and proud of it) being widespread on tourist stuff (tea towels etc), and its Breton equivalent (Breizhad on ha lorc'h ennon) . The regional newspaper had a small column teaching Breton. The renaissance was already underway.

Fortune favors the bold ( aggressive). Replacement occurs always.

this video reminded me that we actually dont know how old/medieval english sounded like we can only guess/try would be nice to hear how ainu people talked like 100 years ago

thanks for the video, I'm fluent in japanese now so I'm really curious and gonna learn more about ainu

If you want a similar story to cover, check the tupi people in south america and how their language influenced brasilian portuguese (and ignore the cannibal tribes that were at war with the non-cannibal tribes... tupi people are weird).

Sapporo started off being called Sachihoro Betsu. Then an American came along and made it the capital of Ezo and created the first Japanese university and taught beer making which is known as Sapporo Beer and it’s off shoot Asahi. Hokkaido used to be called Ezo. These are pretty basic to know.
