      I guess more similarities comes from Fujianese or Teochew. Teochew for Tea is Teh, so is Indonesian. So please do another video between Indonesian and Teochew or Fujianese. Im looking forward to the video.

    FIRMAN AGAIN :) It appears that Indonesian is probably one of the most diverse languages! I would suggest finding a Hokkien/Min Nan speaker either from Fujian, China or Taiwan when comparing Chinese with Southeast Asian languages. Most Chinese people in maritime Southeast Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia) are Hokkien/Min Nan Chinese and thus their Chinese influence on these languages is mostly of the Hokkien/Min Nan dialect

      Chinese-Indonesian here, the Chinese in Indonesia werr typically used as scapegoats for all the nation's problems since long before Indonesia even existed back in the colonial era. Our true dark age was during the mass genocide of Chinese-Indonesians during the anti-communist purge committed by The New Order.

      Perhaps it's due to historical background of Hokkien. They colonize southeastern part of China that actually the land of Austronesian language people (the big family including Indonesia language, malay, tagalog, etc). But they absorb the Austronesian element before Austronesian totaly vanished or went to Formosa, long time ago

    Hi I'm Chinese Indonesian, so i might want to clarify about the word "hong cao" or "紅酒" that Firman might be confused. We usually call it "ang ciu" in Indonesia and it is one of the most common cooking ingredient in every Chinese household. Ang itself means Red and Ciu (Jiu) means wine. It is very different from the usual redwine, since we most use this term for "cooking wine".

    Even the words "Gua" (I) and "Elu" (You) are derived from South Min (Min Nam) or known as "HokKian" in Batavia during Dutch colonization and before Japanese colonization (now it is Jakarta, crowdest city in SE Asia maritime).
    But those are unofficial words in Indonesian, but amazingly most of Indonesians regardless ethnic, race, culture, religions and languages use those words.
    The official words for "I, Me" and "You, Your" in Indonesian is "Ako, Saya" and "Kamu, Kau, Anda, Anta".
    The daily currency in Indonesian such as:
    50 (Go Cjap)
    100 (Ce Paek)
    1000 (Ce Ceng)
    1500 (Ceng Go)
    1000000 (Ce Tiaw)
    Are derived from MinNam language.
    You say Indonesian foods such as "Bak Sao", "Bak Mie", "Bak Wan", even "Ke Ciap" (Sauce) etc all are derived from Hok Kian / Min Nam.
    In Malaysia and Singapore, you can also see and find so numerous words, etc there.

    紅酒 (mandarin: hong jiu / cantonese: hung zau) = red wine -> The Indonesian equivalent would be "Angciu" (taken from Hokkien word ang = red, ciu = wine). As for the Indonesian word "Anggur Merah" (anggur = wine/grape, merah = red) that Firman said, the etymology has nothing to do with "angciu". So no, the "Ang" in "Anggur" does not come from "Ang" in "Angciu". Because one means "wine/grape", and the latter means "red". The Indonesian word "Anggur" (wine/grape) comes from the Farsi word "angoor" (same meaning. grape).

    Here comes my suggestion for one of the future videos. Try to research Russian vs. Turkish. You might get surprised by the fact that the two languages have much more words in common than we could actually think. I speak both languages, and had I lived in Toronto, I would be honoured to participate in this project. But I'm too far, and the only thing I can help with is to make a list with the common words that I know exist. Let me know if you need my help with that! :) Good luck for your future endeavors anyway!

    I feel the show would be even that much more enjoyable if the cards would be put on the table and the camera just rolled while only the two diacussed freely about the lots of things that must come to mind whenever they get a new word.
    To hear the prononciation from both languages consistently for every one of the words in the cards would also be awesome, I felt like I could not get what it was that related between some of the words they were discussing on each round.
    Thanks for this video, I was really looking fir this content, comparing languages and finding similarities.
