I am so, SO envious of Sasha right now. Knowing all those languages is seriously impressive. (Though I think it's interesting that Jeremiah got nearly the same amount of people, but by asking specific questions like "what's a popular song in your country?" that got him the info he needed without knowing exactly about phonemes and stuff.)

@@Zhaggysfaction Eh, they do that with every one of these. Like, the one where they're guessing people's haircuts, there's a lot of questions about how their hair makes them feel/how they maintain it/etc., which narrows down the guesses. Same with guessing the country someone's from by asking them about a popular dance or the national anthem or something.
@@StarUnreachable Yeah but asking someone how their fair makes them feel is very different question and whatever answer they give than asking "name a famous person there" "oh yeah Pele is our most famoud football player." Don't you think? I mean those kinds of questions where you don't actually need to here the language at all.
I am as well. Knew it was something north west america somewhere. There are so many languages but they do sound similar. Edit: I mean as in the continent. I'm west coast Canadian.
Everyone keeps talkin about sasha but no one wants to mention jeremiah, the vietnamese dude that got most of the languages spot-on. Thats incredibly hard to do even when you study languages
He did ask some questions that I'm not sure should have been allowed. He was able to get some right just by knowing where a music artist is from and nothing about a language.
And it always confuses the hell out of people lol. Those languages sound so different to what we're used to, so it's cool that they get put in the spotlight here.
So so so important to keep indigenous languages alive! There are 700 dialects for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, belonging to Indigenous Australian’s and so many of those dialects are missing in history. Māori people who are Indigenous to New Zealand also have a beautiful language that is trying to be kept alive by being taught in schools. I also love seeing/ hearing other Indigenous/First Nations languages being spoken
It makes you realize how vast the world actually is and how many different and exciting cultures we have. Super interesting. Especially the guy from Alaska.
Ikr it really is fascinating gettin' to know different beautiful rich cultures and languages small or big 🥰🥰😍😍😇. The world is really vast!! Thinkin' of it is crazy tho' ☺☺😁
@@DA-js7xz I'm not an expert but as far as I know we have more african and arab ancestry and the north has german ancestry. A big factor is the fact Sicily has ben colonized by many different cultures, from arabs to normans, so we are 'a mix' of many different DNAs
@@DA-js7xz Sicilians actually have far more eastern Mediterranean ancestry (Greek and Levantine) than north African, but Sicilian itself is a romance language.

I can understand why someone would think Yupik were similar to Nahuatl. Indigenous American languages in general use a lot of that lateral fricative sound they were describing. As someone who knows very little Nahuatl though, it sounded too guttural and "deep." I guessed general Inuit-Unangan languages since it sounded a lot like some Greenlandic songs I'm familiar with. Glad to hear Yupik is growing and kudos to this participant for keeping the language alive!

I’m so genuinely curious how that woman was able to know all the different languages. She’s so knowledgeable when it comes to listening to fluctuations in peoples language and voices. I’m honestly impressed and envious xD Edit: guys, I didn’t say she was fluent, but she knows enough to pin point a lot of pronunciations in different languages, and guess correctly with a lot of languages. Y’all need to chill and stop trying to fight everything
@Anglofone lmfao it’s clear you’re just trying to get ppl mad cuz what does that have to do with anything... we don’t even know if she’s trans tho ...?
Yh im gonna press doubt on this one, its unlikely she is actually fully fluent in all of them. Recognising languages is easy when youve heard a lot of them.
It was so interesting to see three different people with different levels of knowledge about other languages try this challenge. They all tried their best with the info they had. The plaid shirt guy used his practical knowledge and music, the woman used her polyglot skills and the last woman went off what best she knew from her life experiences. All really sweet respectful people. It’s nice to know that such cultured people like this exist in America and not everyone is oblivious to the outside world. Would love more videos like this!
I always get excited when they feature Native languages. Ojibwe classes have helped me be able to identify other tribes as well. They have such a unique, distinctive sound.
Multilingual people never ever fail to amaze me, even when you mix up the languages there's still understanding almost immediately Human brain is so incredible I wish I spoke more than just English!
i'm turkish so when i heard turkmani i was like this is definitely azerbaijani with a twist cause you know we're mostly used to azerbaijani and can understand about %98 of it, it's crazy how turkic languages are so diverse and spread all around the world, i could never guess it was turkmani. i love our languages.
As a Nigerian-American with a best friend who is Yup’ik, I was so excited to hear a language that I could recognize right off the bat~ Quyana caknek for the representation !! We love to see it ❤
I love that one of the women knows Yiddish. It’s sadly a language that has been dying off for years. My grandmothers would be very proud to learn younger people are making an effort to learn it. ❤
Hearing Yugtun spoken was definitely an experience, as I’m more used to hearing Inuktitut/Greenlandic through music but he was an absolute delight and quite the cutie too! I would love to see more of the language being spoken either in videos or such, maybe he could do a side hobby ;). Love from Vancouver!
when the video started, I was just thinking that there should be an Alaska native language in one of these! As soon as he started speaking I GOT SO HAPPY I KNEW HE WAS YUPIK! Makes me happy when we get to be represented
It's really important. I'm from the Caribbean but I, and a whole lot of people of my generation, have some Inupiaq words that will forever be in our brains thanks to the Ukiuq song on Sesame Street back in the day - kamikluk, tutuluk, atigi, tupik, aaga etc
Sasha is freaking amazing, I learned from them what to pick up on when listening. And they were so genuinely respectful and interested in each person. FREAKING AMAZING JUST WATCHING THEM WORK
The turkmani girl shocked me when she said she was from iraq i was like what!!! Cause I'm iraqi I've never met a turkmani person before this is amazing
We have many Turkmens in Turkey but I never heard of that language before. It felt like she was adding up bunch of non sense into Turkish so my first guess was Azerbaijani haha
It's pretty impressive Sasha knew so many languages, it automatically makes you connect to people more. But it was also impressive that the guy guessed a lot of them right without knowing the languages, unlike Sasha who had an advantage. This was an enjoyable video, more like these!
I've never been so excited for a cut video, I've been awaiting for more Arabic and yet you hit it on the head and get the Lebanese dialect! beyond thrilled to see more Lebanese content on the internet
Omggg I'm Lebanese but born in Quebec, Canada, so I have French influence in my Arabic so it was so cool hearing the Lebanese girl with a bit of an English colour in her accent, at first I wasn't even sure if it was Lebanese!! So cool and I loved the song :)
I LOVE those types of educational videos, and there's so much diversity!! I think it'd be better if you could include spellings of new words introduced though.
Yeah it was cool how he could guess languages and yet only knew french. But then again, if you live in diverse communities it becomes a lot easier to pick up on those things.
I love these videos, I learn so much. It’s especially fun to have someone with so much knowledge of languages play, I enjoyed hearing Sasha’s process and the way she broke down the components of language to solve the puzzle
That guy knew his languages and wow that one lady we need more people like her that can actually conversate. That black girl thinks everyone is aggressive lol
Jeremiah just getting the languages right literally looks like him throwing a dart at a dartboard in his blindfold XD Like he clearly has some knowledge, but he didn't really verbalise his thought process as clearly as Sasha so we just see the dart hit the bullseye. Cool! Speaking of Sasha, it's so lovely to see her talk to others even though they aren't speaking the exact same language. Love everyone's vibes :D
Wow I felt like such a boss when I guessed Yupik. I'd never even heard it before but it sounds like a blend of Coast Salish and Inuktitut, which geographically totally makes sense. It's got the G and K sounds from up north and the breathy throat sounds of the coast!
This video is so wholesome lol. From the black girl misguessing but still having a great energy and receptive to the cultures to the Asian and white woman guessing the heck out of them. Good video!
@@schmuck3787 So what? Can you tell the difference between Swahili and Zulu? You’re judging her for not recognising european or Middle Eastern languages, but you can’t name up to 2 African languages neither recognise them.
This one of guessing languages was very intriguing because we got to see some lesser known languages! We had some big ones like Arabic and Punjabi, but Serbo-Croatian is not often seen on videos like these, And throwing in an Alaskan native language was crazy! (I also thought it was Nahuatl frankly). Would be cool to see something like Quechua, Basque, Syriac, or a lesser known Indian language like Kannada. Though I'd love to hear Georgian personally. And to the woman speaking Sicilian, its more than a dialect!! Sicilian is a separate language and worth telling as such :) It is indeed though pretty mutually intelligible to Standard Italian
@Ahmed punjabi has over 100 million native speakers. Tell me German with the same amount of native speakers is not a big language. FRENCH only has 100 million *native* speakers. You just think it's not a big language because it's mostly confined to 1-2 countries
@@Ahmed-pf3lg Punjabi is one of the most well-known Indian languages, along with Hindi, Gujarati, and Tamil. And Punjabis are basically everywhere, making communities everywhere and spreading their language (Brampton in Canada, Southall and Leicester in the UK, Yuba City in California, Sacramento area of California, Richmond Hill in Queens New York, Texas, etc). But there are Indian languages that even Indians don't know about that need represention like Northeast Indian languages, Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, etc
Jeremiah and Sasha were interesting because of how Sasha knew lots of stuff but Jeremiah knew a bunch of specific things and took like, educated guesses
Wow! As a azeri I am deadass impressed when Iraqi turkmen woman spoke. I know we shared same ancestry as Safivid turcomans but after some centuries I still fully understand every bit of it!!!
This one was great! Keep getting language experts or very travelled folks to do these. It’s so cool hearing their reasoning or history/impact of the specific languages
We briefly covered First Nations/North American indigenous languages at linguistics undergrad but at European universities there's not much attention given to them. I could tell it was probably an Eskaleut language but nothing more specific than that. Amazing to hear it from a native speaker, quyana!
Hi It's Turkish speaker here. I want to talk about Iraqi Turkmen language or basically Turkmani. While i'm watching the video i thought it was Azerbaijani. However i realized that it wasn't standart Azerbaijani language and that's why i thought it could be Azeri language which is Azerbaijani but spoken in Iran. Because it was pretty similar to Farsi but at the same time i was get it everything what she saying. So i'm really shocked when she said "Turkmani" i didn't expect. I can say that Turkmani is pretty closer to Azerbaijani or Azeri language than Turkish. It was really nice to see one of the Turkic languages on this episode. Thank you. Teşekkürler :)

Edit: guys, I didn’t say she was fluent, but she knows enough to pin point a lot of pronunciations in different languages, and guess correctly with a lot of languages. Y’all need to chill and stop trying to fight everything
@Anglofone imagine being this unintelligent in 2023.
@Anglofone lmfao it’s clear you’re just trying to get ppl mad cuz what does that have to do with anything... we don’t even know if she’s trans tho ...?
Yh im gonna press doubt on this one, its unlikely she is actually fully fluent in all of them. Recognising languages is easy when youve heard a lot of them.
@Anglofone if that’s the truth then my bad honestly! i thought you were trying to call her a guy 😭
@@ashtraypup
>we don’t even know if she’s trans tho ...?
pretty visually apparent
if she is a cis woman, that's like a 1 in a million chance
It was so interesting to see three different people with different levels of knowledge about other languages try this challenge. They all tried their best with the info they had. The plaid shirt guy used his practical knowledge and music, the woman used her polyglot skills and the last woman went off what best she knew from her life experiences. All really sweet respectful people. It’s nice to know that such cultured people like this exist in America and not everyone is oblivious to the outside world. Would love more videos like this!
Jeremiah did great!! It was really cool seeing how many he got correct through his educated guesses
I always get excited when they feature Native languages. Ojibwe classes have helped me be able to identify other tribes as well. They have such a unique, distinctive sound.
You should listen to North East Asian languages. Very similar!
@@DA-js7xz When listening to my friend from Mongolia, if I’m not paying enough attention it also sounds like Yup’ik to me
As an Indigenous teacher, I am so happy to see a fellow Native. Representation matters! ❤
Multilingual people never ever fail to amaze me, even when you mix up the languages there's still understanding almost immediately
Human brain is so incredible I wish I spoke more than just English!
i'm turkish so when i heard turkmani i was like this is definitely azerbaijani with a twist cause you know we're mostly used to azerbaijani and can understand about %98 of it, it's crazy how turkic languages are so diverse and spread all around the world, i could never guess it was turkmani. i love our languages.
It s a fact that Iraqi Turkmen is a dialect of Azerbaijani, that s why its closer to that one, rather than to Turkemistan turkme
im also turk and i was SO confused and couldnt figure out what language she was talking
Why turkmens don't consider themselves central asian tho?
@@LalaLa-ze7kvThere are Turkmens from middle east, and Turkmens from Turkmenistan which is Central Asian
This was the best language guessing video 😍 so fun to watch
i really don't like how that girl describes languages as "agressive".
She didn’t sound aggressive at all lmao
I found her anoying xD
The Nigerian in her jumped out at 4:28 😂😂
I was going to comment the same😂
As a Nigerian-American with a best friend who is Yup’ik, I was so excited to hear a language that I could recognize right off the bat~ Quyana caknek for the representation !! We love to see it ❤
Always the best videos. Love how knowledgeable those two are! The other lady brings a nice contrast but she is still fun
I love that one of the women knows Yiddish. It’s sadly a language that has been dying off for years. My grandmothers would be very proud to learn younger people are making an effort to learn it. ❤
Hearing Yugtun spoken was definitely an experience, as I’m more used to hearing Inuktitut/Greenlandic through music but he was an absolute delight and quite the cutie too! I would love to see more of the language being spoken either in videos or such, maybe he could do a side hobby ;). Love from Vancouver!
I love watching their reactions, especially when the guessers get it right!! Very impressed with Sasha as well!
I’m italian and it was sooo difficult for me to understand Sicilian, and my father is sicilian ahahaaha
Where you born in Italy?
Italy is so diverse ethnically and culturally, so it makes sense that their dialects would be equally as diverse!
Idemmmm
Sometimes similarities in a similar language can really throw you off even more than a completely different kind of language!
were you BORN in italy? if not, you're NOT italian. your PARENTS are.
That Iraqi girl didn't sound at all aggressive or like she was yelling/angry...
I'm very glad that Sasha was in this and it wasn't only people who spoke one or two languages. Was very cool to see her parsing through everything
when the video started, I was just thinking that there should be an Alaska native language in one of these! As soon as he started speaking I GOT SO HAPPY I KNEW HE WAS YUPIK! Makes me happy when we get to be represented
Hi! That was me! I'm so glad they went through and included me. I was so nervous! lol.
It's really important. I'm from the Caribbean but I, and a whole lot of people of my generation, have some Inupiaq words that will forever be in our brains thanks to the Ukiuq song on Sesame Street back in the day - kamikluk, tutuluk, atigi, tupik, aaga etc
Yupik!! Wow so awesome to see a fellow Alaskans!
I'm glad to be representing Yupiit! :)
Sasha is freaking amazing, I learned from them what to pick up on when listening. And they were so genuinely respectful and interested in each person. FREAKING AMAZING JUST WATCHING THEM WORK
The turkmani girl shocked me when she said she was from iraq i was like what!!! Cause I'm iraqi I've never met a turkmani person before this is amazing
We have many Turkmens in Turkey but I never heard of that language before. It felt like she was adding up bunch of non sense into Turkish so my first guess was Azerbaijani haha
@@keremh. samee like I heard many Turkmens speak before and they didn’t sound like her so I also thought it was so type of Azerbaijani
Evet ben de Azerice konuştu sandım ama bazı kelimeler Türkçeden çok farklıydı
@@elifs.8923 Aslında ikinci dinlemede birkaç kelimesinin daha Türkçe olduğunu fark ettim. "Avrat" dedi mesela. Birçok cümleyi anlayabildim sonradan.
The reason being that she‘s not Turkmen from Turkmenistan but Iraqi Turkmen, who are closer to you Turkish people descending both from Ottoman Turks.
The Turkmen girl was super cute, I’m Turkish and I was able to understand 90 percent of it. It was lovely to see a Turk representation 🫶🏼🌸
Are u sure it was Turkmen?
My husband is from turkmenistan and for me Turkmen language is soo different from what I know 🤔🤔
@@lillijosephaanka9049 She is Iraqi Turkmen so I think this is why it sounds different from Turkmens who are from Turmenistan
>%90 percent
you type like an american
@@vaylard9474 what do you mean?
It's pretty impressive Sasha knew so many languages, it automatically makes you connect to people more. But it was also impressive that the guy guessed a lot of them right without knowing the languages, unlike Sasha who had an advantage. This was an enjoyable video, more like these!
I've never been so excited for a cut video, I've been awaiting for more Arabic and yet you hit it on the head and get the Lebanese dialect! beyond thrilled to see more Lebanese content on the internet
Omggg I'm Lebanese but born in Quebec, Canada, so I have French influence in my Arabic so it was so cool hearing the Lebanese girl with a bit of an English colour in her accent, at first I wasn't even sure if it was Lebanese!! So cool and I loved the song :)
@Anglofone gurl what pipe down
@@Emma-qd5mc they're trolling all of the comments here.
Yeah same i m Lebanese and i thought it's mixed Lebanese Palestinian accents at first, she so cute btw.
I LOVE those types of educational videos, and there's so much diversity!! I think it'd be better if you could include spellings of new words introduced though.
more of Sasha please!!! she's so sweet and respectful, the interaction at 7:03 was so cuteeeeee
4:12 “You’re my height but you’re still nice looking” 😂😂
😭😭😭
I really love this one. And Sasha was awesome. I would love to get to know her a bit more cause languages really interest me.
had the biggest smile on my face when she started speaking Punjabi, love the representation!! :D
Super impressed with the plaid guy in addition to the multilingual person!!!
Yeah the multilingual girl was pretty rad!
8:47 Mexico is in the northern hemisphere :)
Wow the man is incredible! He has great intuition and general knowledge
Yeah it was cool how he could guess languages and yet only knew french. But then again, if you live in diverse communities it becomes a lot easier to pick up on those things.
Both of the men were quite talented.
@@jbaby007dudes making it his mission to hate on Sarah but in reality it’s just social media and no one cares and he wastsing his time for nothing
This is such a good idea CUT. Great video, please do more of these, I love all those cultures being celebrated through the languages 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The girl that be twerking on arabic's love song had me dying 😂😂
Idk if I’ve ever enjoyed a cut video more in my life! The celebration of cultures and languages is just 😍🤤 all these people are so cool!
Aaaaa! I was rewatching the old ones just a week ago. I'm so glad that you guys did another one!
The short girl in the black dress is too cute around 4:00 with her getting excited and stuff that someone might recognize it ,❣️💖👌🏾
I love these videos, I learn so much. It’s especially fun to have someone with so much knowledge of languages play, I enjoyed hearing Sasha’s process and the way she broke down the components of language to solve the puzzle
6:34 omg she is soo Cultured she even know the dialect😳😳😳
I love how interested and respectful they all were. Great episode !
YOU NEED TO DO A PUT 2 OF THIS ONE, HAS TO BE MY FAV CUT VIDEO IN A LONG TIME LOVE THE PEOPLE.
Alaska native representation 🥲🤍 we love to see it !!
Waqaa! That was me! :)
@@Nuraar1 you were incredible man
As an Azerbaijani tears fell down from my eyes when I heard Iraqi Türkmən 🥹 🇦🇿🇹🇷❤
I would love to see them try to guess maltese
I thought the Iraqui woman was speaking Maltese 😅
*cue barking from a white fluffy dog*
Fr it’s gonna be impossible
@@ozzitor8 Me too!! Maltese is such a cool mix of languages, I'd love to see them guessing it.
Yes same!
That guy knew his languages and wow that one lady we need more people like her that can actually conversate. That black girl thinks everyone is aggressive lol
I think she was projecting because she was insanely aggressive.
8:00 I'm impressed she knows about Nahuatl, and even pronounces the word good!
they were all really good guessers!!! Jeremiah did a really good job recognizing the lebanese music I loved that
I love how awed the woman was about learning all these different languages, she was so respectful
As a half Serbian-half Bosnian I was so happy to see the Bosnian guy, I just love Balkan people
tooo majstore
9:26 I LOVE THAT
Jeremiah just getting the languages right literally looks like him throwing a dart at a dartboard in his blindfold XD Like he clearly has some knowledge, but he didn't really verbalise his thought process as clearly as Sasha so we just see the dart hit the bullseye. Cool!
Speaking of Sasha, it's so lovely to see her talk to others even though they aren't speaking the exact same language.
Love everyone's vibes :D
Wow I felt like such a boss when I guessed Yupik. I'd never even heard it before but it sounds like a blend of Coast Salish and Inuktitut, which geographically totally makes sense. It's got the G and K sounds from up north and the breathy throat sounds of the coast!
This video is so wholesome lol. From the black girl misguessing but still having a great energy and receptive to the cultures to the Asian and white woman guessing the heck out of them. Good video!
She was rude af. You could tell people were offended by their expressions after her unwarranted comments.
@@DA-js7xz no she wasn't lol. I think they were taken aback by some of her guesses due to how OFF they were, they did not sweem "offended"
@@DA-js7xz she thought Turkmani was German?! so proudly ignorant
She was disrespectful af it's good they were all really nice
@@schmuck3787 So what? Can you tell the difference between Swahili and Zulu? You’re judging her for not recognising european or Middle Eastern languages, but you can’t name up to 2 African languages neither recognise them.
Yay super excited to see some Alaska Native representation!! As an Aleut I'm stoked!!
Naravno da Balkanac pocinje konverzaciju psovkom! 🤣Great episode. We're looking forward to more Balkan/Jugoslovene in the show!
I love these guess the language videos. please keep them coming!!!
This one of guessing languages was very intriguing because we got to see some lesser known languages! We had some big ones like Arabic and Punjabi, but Serbo-Croatian is not often seen on videos like these, And throwing in an Alaskan native language was crazy! (I also thought it was Nahuatl frankly). Would be cool to see something like Quechua, Basque, Syriac, or a lesser known Indian language like Kannada. Though I'd love to hear Georgian personally.
And to the woman speaking Sicilian, its more than a dialect!! Sicilian is a separate language and worth telling as such :) It is indeed though pretty mutually intelligible to Standard Italian
Punjabi is not a big language lol..
Only Arabic is out of these languages.
@Ahmed punjabi has over 100 million native speakers. Tell me German with the same amount of native speakers is not a big language. FRENCH only has 100 million *native* speakers. You just think it's not a big language because it's mostly confined to 1-2 countries
@@Ahmed-pf3lg Punjabi is one of the most well-known Indian languages, along with Hindi, Gujarati, and Tamil. And Punjabis are basically everywhere, making communities everywhere and spreading their language (Brampton in Canada, Southall and Leicester in the UK, Yuba City in California, Sacramento area of California, Richmond Hill in Queens New York, Texas, etc). But there are Indian languages that even Indians don't know about that need represention like Northeast Indian languages, Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, etc
Jeremiah and Sasha were interesting because of how Sasha knew lots of stuff but Jeremiah knew a bunch of specific things and took like, educated guesses
The fact that the video started with a Bosnian guy shouting:"Mater ti jebem" automatically makes this a banger.
Sasha is brilliant. It was great to listen to her thought process. Bring her back!
Wow! As a azeri I am deadass impressed when Iraqi turkmen woman spoke. I know we shared same ancestry as Safivid turcomans but after some centuries I still fully understand every bit of it!!!
same! I was so happy when she spoke her language, it felt like we got featured!
I was born in Azerbaijan so I use some azeri words :)
Even only I know Turkish and do not know turkmenian or other turkic language, I understand most of the sentences
I'm sorry but Sasha is that girl! Such an icon
It's a man but he's really cultured.
@@jbaby007 huh?
@@jbaby007 and how do you know? You realize women can be masculine? are you going to call a feminine guy a woman?
@@jbaby007 you are not giving compassion vibes, so i am gonna guess you are not human
Loved somto in this vid, her energy was simply infectious. Especially the last bit!! I wanna see her in more vids in the future for sure
the "iT's GiViNg" girl got on my nerves HEAVYY omfg
The Turkmani girl telling the guy it wasn't in Central Asia threw him off. He was correct in saying that because it likely sounded Turkic to him.
There is two related different people sharing the name Turkmen, There Ottoman ones and Central Asian ones
@BurakYagz-mp2vj true, but him saying "it sounds like a Central Asian language" obviously he means "it sounds Turkic" and not "it sounds like Russian"
2:57 she’s Sicilian HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 fantastico !!! Greetings from Italy 👋🏾🇮🇹
This one was great! Keep getting language experts or very travelled folks to do these. It’s so cool hearing their reasoning or history/impact of the specific languages
3:40 The girl was totally hinting with the 💅 and the lady missed it 🤣
this part was hilarious
3:20 i love her language / voice
We briefly covered First Nations/North American indigenous languages at linguistics undergrad but at European universities there's not much attention given to them. I could tell it was probably an Eskaleut language but nothing more specific than that. Amazing to hear it from a native speaker, quyana!
0:20 I wonder what language she thinks in...
Hi It's Turkish speaker here.
I want to talk about Iraqi Turkmen language or basically Turkmani. While i'm watching the video i thought it was Azerbaijani. However i realized that it wasn't standart Azerbaijani language and that's why i thought it could be Azeri language which is Azerbaijani but spoken in Iran. Because it was pretty similar to Farsi but at the same time i was get it everything what she saying. So i'm really shocked when she said "Turkmani" i didn't expect.
I can say that Turkmani is pretty closer to Azerbaijani or Azeri language than Turkish.
It was really nice to see one of the Turkic languages on this episode. Thank you. Teşekkürler :)
2:11 great example of a question you may NOT want to ask about any of the balkan countries, especially if one is Serbia. Lucky the guy seems really chill and understood it is just out of curiosity.
She definitely lacked respectful social cues
Seeing the Lebanese girl, as a Nigerian-American, I immediately knew she was speaking Lebanese Arabic lol.
Sasha is incredible
