Omg this hit me so close to home because - as a Korean, I lived and studied in an International School in Thailand. School provided basic Thai for foreigners. Was also taught Traditional Chinese using Zhuyin Fuhao there. Then went to Singapore for secondary - college and then employment. Also, was invested into Japanese culture and Animation since a kid. Now I am back in Korea after serving my mandatory military service. Heck really had a blast watching this while reminiscing my past 30 years lol. Thanks for the wholesome content!

Two minor corrections at 3:20 . (1) The origin of the pronunciation of "cat" in chinese "mao" does in fact come from the sound of cats. (2) the pronunciation of "dog/gou" is not only not indicative of whether or not "cat/mao" is an onomatopoeia, but its literary counterpart is also likely an onomatopoeia for dog barks In the Han Dynasty dictionary Shuowen Jiezi 说文解字 (~100 CE), the pronunciation of 猫 is recorded to be 莫交切, in other words, m + iao = miao. In addition, multiple reconstruction of old Chinese also point to similar conclusions - a pronunciation resembling the sound "meow" (a minor r sound possibly even indicating an attempt at recreating a cat's purr): 郑张尚芳:*mreew [mreːw]、*mrew [mrew] Baxter-Sagart(白一平-沙加尔):*C.mˤraw、*C.m(r)aw Starostin(斯塔罗斯金):*mhrāw [mʱraːw]、*mhraw [mʱraw] It is only in modern northern mandarin that miao has been reduced to mao, but the other half of meow is still present in other Chinese variants and dialects, including but not limited to southwestern Mandarin, hokkien, cantonese etc. Many Chinese words for animals are actually onomatopoeias, such as 鸡(ji, chicken), 鸥(ou, gull), 鸦(ya, crow), 蜂 (feng, bees), 蚊(weng, mosquito), and this includes the literary term for dog 犬, originally pronounced as 苦泫切, "kwong/kwang" (the onomatopoeia for dog in modern mandarin is "wong/wang"). It's easy to find answers to Chinese etymology questions in Shuowen Jiezi and dialects
As Fitri said, All Singaporeans speak English and will learn 2 or 3 languages but she's probably not confident enough to also mention words from her ethnic language, Malay. If she knows, she'll say Promise is 'Janji', Cat is 'Kucing'(pronounced Ku-ching), Weapon is 'senjata', All is 'Semua', Aeroplane is 'Kapal Terbang' or 'Pesawat', and just pronounced Champagne and KFC (Ke-Ef-Si).

@@rfhif6108I am from Singapore, Malay language is only taught to Malay people in school. But there are people of different races who can also speak Malay, it is just that I don't really see it often, usually I hear people speak more hokkien which is another form of Chinese. We have three majority races (order from most to least), Chinese, Malay, and Indian, then the rest would be others as Singapore does not really have a culture of its own. It is more like people of different races living together. There are also westerners who live in Singapore too. Oh but we also use slang, which is known as Singlish.
Next time, if Biz has a regional dialect from the North or North East, ask her to say the words in her local dialect. It might be closer to the girls on the right (due to less influence from Cambodian/ other neighbouring languages)
Finally I see some one from Singapore❤ In Singapore, we speak English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. When she says “in singapore we say” she means in English. I was hoping she might say Malay or Tamil
A new challenge for you if you're making this comparison again: Pick a Thai girl from the North or from North East, or pick a Laotian girl. Their dialect of Thai (or Laotian in general) is closer to some languages in South China. Modern official Thai has an incredible amount of loan words from Sanskrit through Cambodian influence and others. I'm sure if the Thai girl spoke the traditional dialect words for all of these, you'd probably find many more similarities. Even though the language families are different.

I feel like they invited the Singaporean because of the Chinese influences in their country but nope she simply just used English :D I find it funny because in this channel's English differences video/s the Singaporean would mix in non-English words :DD
@@rockyluc , she's Singaporean Malay. It's meaningless to invite a Singaporean Chinese for this because she would have used Mandarin which is similar to the China's Mandarin, unless that Singaporean Chinese speaks Hokkien, a widely spoken Chinese dialect in Singapore.
Singaporeans speak mostly English. Unless you ask us specifically to converse in Singlish. Which is our own unique mix of the local languages + English. It would absolutely confuse everyone else except maybe Malaysians haha
As i know in singapore there are malay, indian, and chinese people. Aren't they still using the language from which they came or all using singlish? it is very sad when a country loses its identity because most of it is filled with immigrants Melayu (malayan mongoloid) people as natives there are unable to compete with immigrants so they lose their language and are replaced by singlish as unifying language.
The policy of making English as the sole dominant language kills all other languages and ethnic identity. It should just be a supplementary language to accompany mother tongues, nothing more.
I do like to point out an error here. In Chinese, the world Mao did come from the sound cats make, at least have of it, the other half serves as something like a prefix indicating that it is a certain type of beast.
They needed to add Vietnam into this. Vietnam is a south east Asian language family with an estimated about 70% of its words influence from Chinese. Vietnam would sat on the left side but still had extreme similarities with all of the easy Asian countries.
So they add Myanmar and sit on the right because you have the same language as China 🇨🇳. It's best not to let Vietnam in, we are not like East Asia and Southeast Asia
This is correct and there was a study a while back that there is a language called middle Chinese which is ancient Chinese they believe that ancient Chinese is closer to Cantonese rather than Mandarin because it had either 7 or 8 tones as opposed to Mandarin which is simplified Chinese which has only 4 tones which is why we see in this video that Japanese and Korean words derive from Chinese and sound similar but "Chinese" sounds different. The study included all the similar words from all neighboring countries and the pronunciations and came up with that conclusion and Vietnam was one of the countries included
@@anhkimtruong241 Chinese might be Sino-Tibetan, but very few Chinese words are found to be of actual Sino-Tibetan origin (they just happen to be "basic"). Even if the classification is correct they would have separated 10000 years ago so not much similarity.
Well Thai is a tonal language same as burmese viet and lao (any other countries in SEA dont speak tonal languages) , the sanskrit words that we have only came later on, thai was originally much closer to chinese. Thai now consists of 40% SOUTH CHINESE languages such as zhuang ,which is a tai-kradai chinese language same as thai and lao. People only think its not that similar bcs chinese loanwords in thai mainly dont come from mandarin or cantonese and bcs of the non-chinese loanwords that thai also has. Coming from a thai/south chinese mixed family myself ,so. Vietnamese isnt the only country in SEA with a good % of chinese loanwords and it also isnt the only tonal language. Although yes , vietnam overall has culturally more chinese influence than the other SEA countries , still especially the tonal speaking countries in SEA have , besides vietnam, more chinese influence than any other SEA country that doesnt speak tonal languages. Which is kind of obvious anyways ,as vietnam, burma ,thailand and laos are the closest to china (well direct neighbours and thailand is the closest of the non direct neighbours) + the tonal speaking of thailand is also bcs part of thailand (especially north part and central part) were originally ethnics from south china who brought all the chinese influence in thai food (some thai food is originally chinese food beside of the actual thai food that STILL also has partly chinese influence) and so on. Thais are not a ethnic pure volk, they are especially now a heavy mix of Thai, lao,chinese , burmese and partly vietnamese. Theres actually one tribe between north and northeast of thailand that is originally from Vietnam. Just a side info. Im partly aware of the sanskrit loanwords too just bcs my husband is from india (and im thai and south chinese mixed) ,anyways, mainly thai is a south chinese + sanskrit language .
I was happy to see a non Chinese representation for Singapore but her performance in this is so bad. Susah sangat ke nak buat research dulu sebelum kena filming?. 😔
Seriously, Fitri speak malay. I prefer the previous Singaporean, at least she referred to other languages in Singapore even though she didn't speak them.
As a Chinese international student in Denmark, I tried to learn Danish but Danes speak perfect English but it seems not worthy if I'm staying here after graduation. So I start learning Japanese as it could be easier, at least I naturally the most of Kanji(Chinese characters) part.😂
6:38 I don't really understand this... As far as I know, Korean recognise 'Gi' as a machine because they think it is a necessary word... not necessary? I don't think so.. they occasionally call except for 'Gi' such as 'Air Fri', but this is not an universal pattern
Asian languages all have a melody and a flow - also they are soo foreign ... too much effort to learn (sadly). Icelandic here is just harsh and has no melody at all - i dont really like the sound of my language very much. I love the sound of Chinese .. there seems to be so much emotion in it.
I thought SHANPAN is pronounced like the French champagne. There are foreign words in Nihongo which have taken the pronunciation from the French like Saint Laurent is pronounced like 'san loren'.
I totally see what Kotoha is saying about the way English is taught in Japan, but actually the way the say "champagne" in Japan is closer to the French pronounciation, while the other countries are closer to the English pronounciation
That kind of weapon is not correct say 武器(buki) because is not melee like a sword or spear, normally 兵器(heiki) but its fine because is just small differences.
I'm learning Japanese and just assumed they borrowed Champagne from French rather than English. I was actually surprised that all of the other languages here pronounce it the English way.
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 because it's a French drink? They borrowed the Italian pronunciation of Naples for example as well as Italian food despite having the same contact with Italy as with France
let me tell you this, Japan borrowed many things from English words and only English words, that's it, period, no exception, there is no French, Italian, etc. If it sound like French, it's simply just because of their broken English pronunciation
@@rockyluc im japanese and that’s not entirely true we have a lot of words that are loanwords from other european languages; for example the word for part time job is “arubaito” which comes from german (?) word albeit so no, not everything is from englisj
I like chinese laguage very beautiful When I hear it, I feel that it contains a distinct melody from other languages as well, as it enables you to develop your mental abilities and refine your musical sense.
@@deutschmitpurple2918 It is not difficult, but it is different from European languages that is why we think that the Chinese language is difficult but the truth is just a different language from the languages that we speak or know, and the rules of the Chinese language are very simple compared to most European languages
Japanese tend to keep original pronunciation. Champagne is a French wine, French call it "Shan-Pany", Japanese call it "Shan-Pan". 07:07 Nothing to do with Romaji English
I never thought Id ever hear Lovely Asian ladies saying an American state name in their own languages that is actually from a native American root. Kentucky. It could be argued that word has come full circle as the Native Americans populated America across the Asian land bridge 15000 years ago.
I thought they spoke Singlish in Singapore? I know English is commonly spoken in Singapore as well, along with other languages, but isn't Singlish what people speak to each other away from the tourists?
Even if she had used Singlish, those words would still be the same. Singlish uses mostly English vocab, only certain words/phrases are different. The bulk of what makes Singlish Singlish is the syntax and grammar (or lack thereof XD) For example: "Tomorrow I jio you makan at this new atas place. Confirm alot of people kiasu and will come also. Better go early chope first. Aimai?" "If like that then we just dabao lah. Don't need chope." Translation: "Tomorrow I'm inviting you to eat with me at this new fancy place. Alot of people will surely be FOMO and come. We better go early to reserve our seats first. Are you down?" "Then in that case we should just take away. There's no need to reserve seats."
You could still construct a better analogue of the French word "champagne" in Japanese; perhaps シャンペイン? Actually that's analogue of the English pronunciation while the French is actually more like シャンパン. So the Japanese borrowed word follows French. There's no analogue of the "nge" sound in Japanese. I was told that the Chinese word for aeroplane "feiji" sounds like "flying chicken". 😅
Some thai and viet words are ingeneral similar i noticed throughout the years with vietnamese friends (i am thai and south chinese mixed so we sometimes share words in thai and viet )
crazy how that thai girl is more pale than everyone there even though thailand is south east which is known for darker skin tones. Just goes to show how toxic beauty standards are and how they influence people.
Northern Thais near Chiangmai are fair skinned...they are different from people from Bangkok, they are called Lana Thai...used to be Lana Kingdom in northern Thailand.
Thailand is mix culture not everyone is have to be dark skin tone we can be anything we want this is nothing relate with toxic beauty standards at all 😞
I believe there's a region east of Paris known as Champagne. I'm guessing the alcohol is named after the region, but I suppose it could be the other way around.

@@rockyluc , she's Singaporean Malay. It's meaningless to invite a Singaporean Chinese for this because she would have used Mandarin which is similar to the China's Mandarin, unless that Singaporean Chinese speaks Hokkien, a widely spoken Chinese dialect in Singapore.
They should have asked words that you hear in a kopitiam or hawker center XD that's when the singlish comes out.
Singaporeans speak a different type of mandarin. Like we don't use tudou to mean potato unlike in China
as a 50% Thai girl I understood the thai girl very much and everyone was STUNNING
The work ethic of Asians is truly inspiring.
I think that the Singaporean should have used Malay to see how it compares.
It's pointless to compare with English.
Malay is totally different from Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai...also pointless.
น่ารักกันทุกคนเลย 😍😍😍
i think it would be more interesting if yall would bring in a singaporean chinese to contrast with the mainlander chinese to see the differences
Singaporeans speak mostly English. Unless you ask us specifically to converse in Singlish. Which is our own unique mix of the local languages + English. It would absolutely confuse everyone else except maybe Malaysians haha
_yes_. Ask Singaporeans how they would order food at a kopitiam or hawker and that's when all the singlish comes out ;P
We speak mostly in Singlish, unless speaking with foreigners which we will then code switch
Should have picked both Malaysian and Singaporean tbh. Both countries also have their own mix of English (Manglish and Singlish)
Singapore easy country as tourist if you speak English or Mandarin. They should have added a Malay or Indonesian speaker to this video.
@@MightyCats2011why add "Singaporean" in to this video at all, if she speaks English. name of the video is Asian Words differences.
It would be cool to have a singlish special!
Asian languages always sound so beautiful and melodic.
felt like Fitri could have brought out some Bahasa Melayu. Either way, i really enjoyed the vid. :)
English as national language kills all other languages and ethnic identity. It should just be a working language, nothing more.

It's called korean plastic surgeries. Most East Asian do these kinda of plastic surgeries
As i know in singapore there are malay, indian, and chinese people. Aren't they still using the language from which they came or all using singlish?
it is very sad when a country loses its identity because most of it is filled with immigrants
Melayu (malayan mongoloid) people as natives there are unable to compete with immigrants so they lose their language and are replaced by singlish as unifying language.
The policy of making English as the sole dominant language kills all other languages and ethnic identity. It should just be a supplementary language to accompany mother tongues, nothing more.
I do like to point out an error here. In Chinese, the world Mao did come from the sound cats make, at least have of it, the other half serves as something like a prefix indicating that it is a certain type of beast.
Actually the japanese version of Champagne is the closest to French (the original way), as the "a" is pronounced correctly.
Asians have the best hair styles and always know how to rock any look.
I like the way that Japanese girl speaks..soothing
i wish you got the Singaporean to speak Malay instead, since they all already know English, and the word was provided in English
Would love a Singapore vs Malaysian vs China vs Taiwan mandarin comparison video!
I second this!
There's no need, it's like English from England, Scotland, USA and Australia, the foundations are the same while the accents are different.
They needed to add Vietnam into this. Vietnam is a south east Asian language family with an estimated about 70% of its words influence from Chinese. Vietnam would sat on the left side but still had extreme similarities with all of the easy Asian countries.
That was the Confucious block, before the West came and broke it up.
So they add Myanmar and sit on the right because you have the same language as China 🇨🇳. It's best not to let Vietnam in, we are not like East Asia and Southeast Asia
This is correct and there was a study a while back that there is a language called middle Chinese which is ancient Chinese they believe that ancient Chinese is closer to Cantonese rather than Mandarin because it had either 7 or 8 tones as opposed to Mandarin which is simplified Chinese which has only 4 tones which is why we see in this video that Japanese and Korean words derive from Chinese and sound similar but "Chinese" sounds different. The study included all the similar words from all neighboring countries and the pronunciations and came up with that conclusion and Vietnam was one of the countries included
@@anhkimtruong241 Chinese might be Sino-Tibetan, but very few Chinese words are found to be of actual Sino-Tibetan origin (they just happen to be "basic"). Even if the classification is correct they would have separated 10000 years ago so not much similarity.
Well Thai is a tonal language same as burmese viet and lao (any other countries in SEA dont speak tonal languages) , the sanskrit words that we have only came later on, thai was originally much closer to chinese. Thai now consists of 40% SOUTH CHINESE languages such as zhuang ,which is a tai-kradai chinese language same as thai and lao. People only think its not that similar bcs chinese loanwords in thai mainly dont come from mandarin or cantonese and bcs of the non-chinese loanwords that thai also has. Coming from a thai/south chinese mixed family myself ,so. Vietnamese isnt the only country in SEA with a good % of chinese loanwords and it also isnt the only tonal language.
Although yes , vietnam overall has culturally more chinese influence than the other SEA countries , still especially the tonal speaking countries in SEA have , besides vietnam, more chinese influence than any other SEA country that doesnt speak tonal languages. Which is kind of obvious anyways ,as vietnam, burma ,thailand and laos are the closest to china (well direct neighbours and thailand is the closest of the non direct neighbours) + the tonal speaking of thailand is also bcs part of thailand (especially north part and central part) were originally ethnics from south china who brought all the chinese influence in thai food (some thai food is originally chinese food beside of the actual thai food that STILL also has partly chinese influence) and so on. Thais are not a ethnic pure volk, they are especially now a heavy mix of Thai, lao,chinese , burmese and partly vietnamese. Theres actually one tribe between north and northeast of thailand that is originally from Vietnam. Just a side info.
Im partly aware of the sanskrit loanwords too just bcs my husband is from india (and im thai and south chinese mixed)
,anyways, mainly thai is a south chinese + sanskrit language .
I was happy to see a non Chinese representation for Singapore but her performance in this is so bad. Susah sangat ke nak buat research dulu sebelum kena filming?. 😔
you should do south asian too
The Singaporean girl is gorgeous
Why didn't the girl from Singapore speaks Malay? That would be interesting!
Seriously, Fitri speak malay. I prefer the previous Singaporean, at least she referred to other languages in Singapore even though she didn't speak them.
As a Chinese international student in Denmark, I tried to learn Danish but Danes speak perfect English but it seems not worthy if I'm staying here after graduation. So I start learning Japanese as it could be easier, at least I naturally the most of Kanji(Chinese characters) part.😂
yes coz Japanese used Kanji, but Chinese cannot master Japanese accent.

6:38 I don't really understand this... As far as I know, Korean recognise 'Gi' as a machine because they think it is a necessary word... not necessary? I don't think so.. they occasionally call except for 'Gi' such as 'Air Fri', but this is not an universal pattern
"Gi" is also sued in Chinese words, TV is called "dian shi gi" and telephone is "dian hua gi".
I love how the English get credit for the word champagne. A French location named by Romans.
Asian languages all have a melody and a flow - also they are soo foreign ... too much effort to learn (sadly). Icelandic here is just harsh and has no melody at all - i dont really like the sound of my language very much. I love the sound of Chinese .. there seems to be so much emotion in it.
I’m embarrassed as a Singaporean.
English as de facto national language kills all other languages and ethnic identity. It should just be a working language, nothing more.

I thought SHANPAN is pronounced like the French champagne. There are foreign words in Nihongo which have taken the pronunciation from the French like Saint Laurent is pronounced like 'san loren'.
The japanese girl's way of speaking korean sounds cute and drowsy kk
I totally see what Kotoha is saying about the way English is taught in Japan, but actually the way the say "champagne" in Japan is closer to the French pronounciation, while the other countries are closer to the English pronounciation
Because Japanese shares most vowel sounds with Romance languages, a-ah, e-eh, i-ee, o-oh, u-ew(soft e sound, almost no e)
I like the Japanese way best
@@anndeecosita3586 you are a woman of culture
Japan doesn't have any influence from French, they use a ton of English words that they themselves don't even know
what? Champagne is French word. French don't say Shampan. lmao
Champagne is a loan word from the French. I wish I could be as fluent in multiple languages as these women are.
What my Korean friends say that if they study, they can learn fluent Japanese in less than a year. Probably goes the other way too.

That kind of weapon is not correct say 武器(buki) because is not melee like a sword or spear, normally 兵器(heiki) but its fine because is just small differences.
I'm learning Japanese and just assumed they borrowed Champagne from French rather than English. I was actually surprised that all of the other languages here pronounce it the English way.
Why would they borrow it straight from french? What interaction does French have with east asia
@@Tu51ndBl4d3 because it's a French drink? They borrowed the Italian pronunciation of Naples for example as well as Italian food despite having the same contact with Italy as with France
let me tell you this, Japan borrowed many things from English words and only English words, that's it, period, no exception, there is no French, Italian, etc. If it sound like French, it's simply just because of their broken English pronunciation
@@rockyluc im japanese and that’s not entirely true we have a lot of words that are loanwords from other european languages; for example the word for part time job is “arubaito” which comes from german (?) word albeit so no, not everything is from englisj

I never thought Id ever hear Lovely Asian ladies saying an American state name in their own languages that is actually from a native American root. Kentucky. It could be argued that word has come full circle as the Native Americans populated America across the Asian land bridge 15000 years ago.
I thought they spoke Singlish in Singapore? I know English is commonly spoken in Singapore as well, along with other languages, but isn't Singlish what people speak to each other away from the tourists?
Hello! What is singlish?
@@Me-su2bu Singlish is local dialect of English in Singapore with heavy influence from Chinese Malay and Tamil
Singaporeans can speak both English and Singlish well one is language one is dialect
Singlish is basically just Singapore + English
Even if she had used Singlish, those words would still be the same. Singlish uses mostly English vocab, only certain words/phrases are different. The bulk of what makes Singlish Singlish is the syntax and grammar (or lack thereof XD)
For example:
"Tomorrow I jio you makan at this new atas place. Confirm alot of people kiasu and will come also. Better go early chope first. Aimai?"
"If like that then we just dabao lah. Don't need chope."
Translation:
"Tomorrow I'm inviting you to eat with me at this new fancy place. Alot of people will surely be FOMO and come. We better go early to reserve our seats first. Are you down?"
"Then in that case we should just take away. There's no need to reserve seats."
You could still construct a better analogue of the French word "champagne" in Japanese; perhaps シャンペイン? Actually that's analogue of the English pronunciation while the French is actually more like シャンパン. So the Japanese borrowed word follows French. There's no analogue of the "nge" sound in Japanese. I was told that the Chinese word for aeroplane "feiji" sounds like "flying chicken". 😅
wow, The pronunciation of the word CAT in Thai and its interpretation is 100% similar to Vietnamese
Some thai and viet words are ingeneral similar i noticed throughout the years with vietnamese friends (i am thai and south chinese mixed so we sometimes share words in thai and viet )

crazy how that thai girl is more pale than everyone there even though thailand is south east which is known for darker skin tones. Just goes to show how toxic beauty standards are and how they influence people.
Thailand is the largest home of the Chinese outside China and Taiwan
Northern Thais near Chiangmai are fair skinned...they are different from people from Bangkok, they are called Lana Thai...used to be Lana Kingdom in northern Thailand.
Thai people really have black skin. Bangkok has only white people who see dark skin that people from the countryside or provinces.
Bangkokians are really white, but people with dark skin come from the countryside or other provinces.
Thailand is mix culture not everyone is have to be dark skin tone we can be anything we want this is nothing relate with toxic beauty standards at all 😞
The romanization of Thai words in the subtitles is always wrong. I don't know why.
Champagne isn't an English word. C'est Français
I believe there's a region east of Paris known as Champagne. I'm guessing the alcohol is named after the region, but I suppose it could be the other way around.

• Men make = Civilzation - Thriive for mankind (Creature of Creation) made things.t i.e. money, greed, lust, etc.
• Ceaseless creator (1), created = Nature = Original (earth, sky and water) and its creatures like mankind, birds, fish, etc.
o EARTH : 1. Culture 1 Character 1 (sign and feeelings)

Ceaseless Creator (1), Created = Equally
Mankind make = Supiriority, Divide
Originally man and female are equal and Man made it separated. People projected it differently and bad
men made = divide example: religion, rich & poor, politics, facilities, etc.
Some people have divided and destroyed the Oneness and beauty in several pieces like countries, religion, Sub-religion, God, Politics, Color, Ethnic,etc.and as rich and poor.
Selflessness - Creator’s gift.
Selfish - men made. Enough of Man made things like shit - tool in closet.
Natural life : the period of a person's earthly existence terminated by natural as opposed to civil death OR the expected span of a person's life or a thing's existence under normal circumstances.
