Its not vocal chords. Those are how you talk period. You always use them. Its mouth placement. If you place your voice in the back of your throat its deeper, or in the front, higher. Different languages use different sounds that alot for these different placements.
yes!i dont know how to explain it but in spanish it feels like we do more "open"sounds, like even the mouth is more open so it sounds higher, but when i speak in english the sounds are more forward in the mouth, if u know what i mean, more closed, so they are more deep, idk if its understandable
@@TS-pi5nu YESSS exactly that! Is that why my voice sounds a little higher when I speak Spanish? I sound way different talking to my parents than with my friends 😂😂

As a linguistics student, this is correlated to phonetics and phonology. Studies that are related to the voice and production of words and how they occur in different languages. It’s natural to produce words different for different languages because of the letters and how they must be produced by the mouth movement and other biological movements such as throat, lungs etc ( tongue placement, vocal cords, air production for letters /B/ and /P/, nasal sounds etc) every language is determined by how the letters are produced differently.
Do you know if some languages are easier to sing than others, or it's easier to sound more "musical" whilst singing in some languages? I was wondering if japanese is easier to sing and rhyme because it's all vowels than English.
@@salamilid4125 well, in the western classical aproach romance languages are renowed to lend themselves better to vocalize and to have more musical qualities than germanic languages.
@@salamilid4125 "I was wondering if japanese is easier to sing and rhyme because it's all vowels than English"-- wait that makes a lot of sense. I haven't thought of a language being able to produce rhymes more easily, but I have thought of certain languages sounding more "musical" than others. Arabic is one of the most "musical" sounding languages I've ever heard. I'm not Muslim, but you can hear the musicality of Arabic if you were to listen to a recitation of a surah (chapter) from the Quran. Sometimes I listen to surahs being recited from the Quran just because of how beautiful and peaceful it sounds.
@@timofalltrades400 more like non-bilinguals often tell bilinguals they sound different speaking another language. I'm not bilingual but I've heard that happen a lot. The people in the video were usually leaving it up to us to tell them if/how they sound different. Only a few actually do, though.

Did you learn other languages in school/university, or on your own?
Your voice doesn't "change", you adjust your linguistic cadence according to how the language is supposed to be spoken and/or the culture requires you to speak in a higher tone to show politeness
1. German - the deepest, and my native language (notice that I speak a dialect, and the dialect is even deeper for me than standard German) 2. Spanish - quite deep, since I'm slowing down in order to speak properly 3. English - we're getting there, this is a normal female frequency 4. Norwegian - it's much higher than it should reasonably be
It's similar for me with German but I don't exactly speak a certain dialect, it's more like standard German. My Spanish voice is my highest one and my English voice is almost like my German one. I don't speak Norwegian but French and that language is somewhere between English and Spanish😂

isn't it more abt the airways? like the mouth closes more in some languages so it sounds like maybe deeper? but not necessarily the voice. idk if that made sense
It does, actually. I speak Portuguese and in the Brazilian accent, specifically, we use a lot our noses when speaking :) we kinda force the air to move through our nostrils as the same time it goes through our mouths when speaking, so our noses vibrates a little and we make deeper sounds. I know it sounds super weird, but it’s actually really beautiful, the nose vibration sounds wavy and warm, giving the feeling of comfort and relaxation when we speak... so, yeah, the features of each language do change the way we pronounce them involuntarily. PS: most Brazilians don’t know about this nose sound thing, just to show you that it’s not super strange, the sound is actually very subtle. Okay, enough talking, bye.
The Indonesian one literally caught me off guard, I didn't expect him to switch from Russian to Indonesian like that loll and his Indonesian is actually really good, there's a bit of an accent there but it's okay XD

If someone here is actually trying to learn Croatian🇭🇷, 8:58 R.I.P bro,the grammar is so fukin hard,it is my native language and I still struggle a lot. Respect to all people learning it and respect to all people that speak more than two languages.
Now I feel stupid. Those guys being in their early 20s and speaking more than 5 languages very well, and then me an Italian girl (I'm 16) who just speaks Italian and studies at school English and German, but isn't that good at them. Thank you TH-cam and Tiktok :(
These tiktoks can feel downgrading, especially if the author brags about what they did a lot. But think about the time they put in, they might have been taught more languages since childhood, attended a language school, can learn languages faster but are worse at other things. Maybe they just learned a few phrases for the tiktok. Anyway, they have experience in this field but you might have much more problem solving, real-life and relationship experiences. Wherever you put your time you have experience there You have more than enough time to catch up to them also! I personally find it better to not look at how many things other people know in different languages, since it just demotivates me completely. But it’s very tempting I know- After learning a language many people were bragging about how they knew well and posted quotes and random senteces on their instagram stories and such I realized just how much they don’t know- And because I focused on myslef and the things I really need in a language for real-life conversation, not a cheesy instagram quote, I became happier with myself and had a better understanding of the language I dont know if that helps but best of luck to you!
This is probably the right list for comparing my tones when speaking another accent Deep: Chinese, Dutch, German, English, Javanese, Russian, Korean Pitchy: Thai, Tiow chu, Spanish, Italian, Vietnamese, Hindi, Japanese, French In between: Bahasa Indonesia, Portuguese, German, Tagalog, Malay Entertaining: Bahasa Indonesia, English, Korean Quite annoying: Thai, French, German Best accent people rate from me: Indonesian, Dutch, British
for me, when i speak korean, it’s very high pitched because i get nervous when i speak it and when i speak english, it’s like deeper but still a bit high
When I speak English, my voice is relatively deeper depending on who I’m talking to When I speak telugu (my native language) my voice is a whole octave higher and I think I sound more feminine When I speak French my voice goes just a bit higher than when I speak English but lower than telugu When I speak Hindi it’s around the same range as English
I didn’t even think about there being a difference but I recorded myself speaking in English and German to test this and my German voice is almost a whole octave higher. If anything I expected lower lol but I may be compensating because English is my native and German is learned. The difference is real 😂
1:00 Ummm, yeah, that's why I told my bf I'd never live in a 1st floor apartment ever again!!! He didn't believe me when I said, "Yeah, bae, I stayed home sick and the idiot above us was stomping & humming for like 4 hours!!!" 😂😂😂
When I *try* to speak Japanese to my mom my voice gets really high and when I speak on korean with my dad my voice much deeper and my english is kind of relaxing and calm
For sure every language has its tones which change the pitch. I work in a restaurant and I am the go to cashier because I am bilingual, that's when I noticed the pitch change. When I speak Spanish it's higher pitch so it's louder and easier to hear for my Spanish speaking guests. Then add the guest service voice making it even more higher pitched. In this video I hear Ukraine and Russia's language and it seems to drop in pitch a little. I know Japanese for sure pulls higher pitch slightly. But as the Italian speaker said there it also the way you speak, when I speak Spanish it has a bit more power in the way I speak.
To be Fair, definitely our surroundings influence our pronunciation and the way we learn the languages. 💜 Like At first, I'm trying to learn Korean. (Im still trying!😭) I noticed my voice changed just because of all the kdramas I watch, my voice got higher. But because I was conscious of it I wanted it to sound natural, so I deepened it just talking in my normal voice :)
FINALLY a trend that worths it .I speak creole ,french,English and Spanish , Portuguese (it's a little bit complicated 🤣🤣) still learning Chinese (the hardest decision of my life 😭😂😂) Any language lover here ?😍
There is evidence of code switching. We as humans tend to switch our tones in speech normally to match the tones and vibes of those around us. We code switch to blend in with others around us. With those that speak more then one language, they code switch to match the tones that they are used to hearing and the environment their used to speaking certain languages in. This video only shows how people switch from one language to another, but code switching goes a little deeper than that. Some people code switch through the use of slang or formalities. For example, one trend from TikTok was showing how you act with you dad side of the family vs. how you act with your mom side of the family. Code switching can happen there too, even if your speaking in English to both sides.
Okay but when I switch to Polish (which still needs some work) the way my mouth moves is COMPLETELY different. So Pinglish is a whole new kind of experience
I’ve been recently learning Japanese and my voice sounds like if James Charles took a voice box out of a Mickey Mouse teddy and combined it with his own vocal chords
Being a filipino be like: Me: *Tagalog, Bisaya(my mother tongue) English, Dutch and bit of French( still learning thou) and Korean( Where I was most interested and wanted to learn it, but I don't have time FOR NOW)*
Different cultures expect different sort of gender expression - like being feminine/even childlike - and that bleeds into the way of speaking. As well as other behaviour norms customs like being polite, being friendly, being serious, being positive, being less or more emotional. Different languages also just have different sounds, tones and note. I think it might affect quite a lot whether the language is spoken from the front area of the mouth or from the back and throat. Middle-eastern speak stresses me out because it sound so angry often 😂 The biggest different seems to be in the way _women_ speak - how high or low that is. Most spoke english the lowest. For me I think I speak english higher than my native language. Probably because women tend to be less feminine in my country. The women here talk with quite low tone and in a very similar way than men. But our national "mindset" and way of speaking is also quite monotone, serious and unemotional (or negative in emotion) ...yeah, Finns are a fun bunch. English and especially accent like the irish one are a little "singsongy" to my ear and I speak them a lot more melodically. I like saying my name (Nina) in english - it sound very pretty in english. Finns speak english in a VERY recognizable way, it's blunt, monotone, hard sounding, not flowy at all 😂 I think we sound like we're a little "slow" in the head and on a bad mood 😂 I switch partly consciously to a lighter friendlier tone when I speak english. Otherwise there is a lot of misunderstandings. I've gotten into awkward situations in the past with the low blunt way of speaking and dark and sarcastic sense of humour. Slavic people get it but such cheerful people like a new-zealander can get absolutely shaken by me 😂😂😂 And I'm actually very extroverted and lively talker and person compared to most Finns 😂
3:53 I've done that 😂 I had an early morning Spanish class senior year of college, and needed to ask the professor for one more of the handouts. In my head it came out as "ato dos s'il vous plait" - three words (in English, that is) and it came out Japanese, Spanish and French. Thankfully I caught myself before I said it out loud, but I'm actually kinda sad that I didn't, because that would've been hilarious 😂
I feel like it depends on the placement of the words. Like how hebrew and Spain's Spanish are around the same placement , while German is more guttural, and Japanese is more frontal but closed [just examples that came to mind].
I speak Greek(mother tongue), Korean, English, Japanese and French(the latter two not as fluently but I can understand very well. Still learning) and I'm learning Spanish and Chinese(beginner) and I sound so different in each one that sometimes when I record myself to check pronounciation that I don't even recognize my own voice!
Some languages are just easier to speak using different vocal cords.
I think this is it, or different pitches.
Its not vocal chords. Those are how you talk period. You always use them. Its mouth placement. If you place your voice in the back of your throat its deeper, or in the front, higher. Different languages use different sounds that alot for these different placements.
no lol it's just that their intonations changes
If you have multiple vocal chords, are you okay?
@@spacedodo83 technically people have 2 vocal cords
I think our voice changes depending on what the basic mouth movement and sounds are in each language🤔

yes!i dont know how to explain it but in spanish it feels like we do more "open"sounds, like even the mouth is more open so it sounds higher, but when i speak in english the sounds are more forward in the mouth, if u know what i mean, more closed, so they are more deep, idk if its understandable

For me it's not only my voice that change when speaking another language but I feel like my personality too

That guy literally sounds like a bee was buzzing lol~~~😂😂😂
I almost startet meditating with the 2nd guy lol
my dude at 1:20 was just playing the didgeridoo
*The mosquito at 3AM near my ear be like: **1:16*
4:05 that guy got me dead💀💀 he's so funny, help😭✋✋

being a filipino: tagalog,ilocano,bisaya,english,french,korean,japanese
If someone here is actually trying to learn Croatian🇭🇷, 8:58 R.I.P bro,the grammar is so fukin hard,it is my native language and I still struggle a lot. Respect to all people learning it and respect to all people that speak more than two languages.
6:55 Filipina’s voice is actually so soothing…
Now I feel stupid.
Those guys being in their early 20s and speaking more than 5 languages very well, and then me an Italian girl (I'm 16) who just speaks Italian and studies at school English and German, but isn't that good at them.
Thank you TH-cam and Tiktok :(
These tiktoks can feel downgrading, especially if the author brags about what they did a lot. But think about the time they put in, they might have been taught more languages since childhood, attended a language school, can learn languages faster but are worse at other things. Maybe they just learned a few phrases for the tiktok. Anyway, they have experience in this field but you might have much more problem solving, real-life and relationship experiences. Wherever you put your time you have experience there
You have more than enough time to catch up to them also! I personally find it better to not look at how many things other people know in different languages, since it just demotivates me completely. But it’s very tempting I know-
After learning a language many people were bragging about how they knew well and posted quotes and random senteces on their instagram stories and such
I realized just how much they don’t know-
And because I focused on myslef and the things I really need in a language for real-life conversation, not a cheesy instagram quote, I became happier with myself and had a better understanding of the language
I dont know if that helps but best of luck to you!
@@slenge9485 thanks, you really made me feel better :)
This is probably the right list for comparing my tones when speaking another accent
Deep: Chinese, Dutch, German, English, Javanese, Russian, Korean
Pitchy: Thai, Tiow chu, Spanish, Italian, Vietnamese, Hindi, Japanese, French
In between: Bahasa Indonesia, Portuguese, German, Tagalog, Malay
Entertaining: Bahasa Indonesia, English, Korean
Quite annoying: Thai, French, German
Best accent people rate from me: Indonesian, Dutch, British
for me, when i speak korean, it’s very high pitched because i get nervous when i speak it and when i speak english, it’s like deeper but still a bit high
When I speak English, my voice is relatively deeper depending on who I’m talking to
When I speak telugu (my native language) my voice is a whole octave higher and I think I sound more feminine
When I speak French my voice goes just a bit higher than when I speak English but lower than telugu
When I speak Hindi it’s around the same range as English
I didn’t even think about there being a difference but I recorded myself speaking in English and German to test this and my German voice is almost a whole octave higher. If anything I expected lower lol but I may be compensating because English is my native and German is learned. The difference is real 😂
Omg lol same here
wie gehts dir?
I think learnt languages usually are spoken in a higher voice than your native language, at least until you become fluent/confident in it.
6:57 FINALLY A BISAYA PERSON THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH AND TAGALOG LIKE MEEE OMGGGG
2:43 HIS SPANISH IS SO GOOD WHAT
This makes me realize that my voice stay sounds the same even when I speak in different languages. Deep as always.
Isn't it more about the pitch rather than a change in their voice tho 🤔
Yeah it is.
Idk y they kept saying their voice changes.
1:00 Ummm, yeah, that's why I told my bf I'd never live in a 1st floor apartment ever again!!!
He didn't believe me when I said, "Yeah, bae, I stayed home sick and the idiot above us was stomping & humming for like 4 hours!!!" 😂😂😂
The guy at 2:00 his voice is so soft damn especially when he speaks indonesian idk sounds good to me
When I *try* to speak Japanese to my mom my voice gets really high and when I speak on korean with my dad my voice much deeper and my english is kind of relaxing and calm
You are so lucky to know three languages I only know two.
@@shanasakai2238 it’s okay my Japanese is mostly bad anyways
This motivated me to take my mandarin and spanish lessons more seriously
For sure every language has its tones which change the pitch. I work in a restaurant and I am the go to cashier because I am bilingual, that's when I noticed the pitch change. When I speak Spanish it's higher pitch so it's louder and easier to hear for my Spanish speaking guests. Then add the guest service voice making it even more higher pitched. In this video I hear Ukraine and Russia's language and it seems to drop in pitch a little. I know Japanese for sure pulls higher pitch slightly. But as the Italian speaker said there it also the way you speak, when I speak Spanish it has a bit more power in the way I speak.
0:21 wow she can speak German really well
my voice doesn't change, my personality does 💀
That kid who speaks like, 7 languages, is gorgeous.
To be Fair, definitely our surroundings influence our pronunciation and the way we learn the languages. 💜
Like At first, I'm trying to learn Korean. (Im still trying!😭) I noticed my voice changed just because of all the kdramas I watch, my voice got higher. But because I was conscious of it I wanted it to sound natural, so I deepened it just talking in my normal voice :)
1:04 I'm sorry but there's a lawn mower going off outside right now and this dude matched the lawn mower so hard
FINALLY a trend that worths it
.I speak creole ,french,English and Spanish , Portuguese (it's a little bit complicated 🤣🤣) still learning Chinese (the hardest decision of my life 😭😂😂)
Any language lover here ?😍
There is evidence of code switching. We as humans tend to switch our tones in speech normally to match the tones and vibes of those around us. We code switch to blend in with others around us. With those that speak more then one language, they code switch to match the tones that they are used to hearing and the environment their used to speaking certain languages in. This video only shows how people switch from one language to another, but code switching goes a little deeper than that. Some people code switch through the use of slang or formalities. For example, one trend from TikTok was showing how you act with you dad side of the family vs. how you act with your mom side of the family. Code switching can happen there too, even if your speaking in English to both sides.
I love all the flexes tho, seeing people speak like four or five languages is amazing ngl
The first person looks really pretty! 😁. Im Indonesian
2:21 got me really shock as he's fluent enough just like Indonesian native speaker 🥺
4:01 this was just... beautiful
1:20 ahhh so that's what the neighbors are doing
Okay but when I switch to Polish (which still needs some work) the way my mouth moves is COMPLETELY different. So Pinglish is a whole new kind of experience
I’ve been recently learning Japanese and my voice sounds like if James Charles took a voice box out of a Mickey Mouse teddy and combined it with his own vocal chords
Bro you stole my discord pfp
Being a filipino be like:
Me: *Tagalog, Bisaya(my mother tongue) English, Dutch and bit of French( still learning thou) and Korean( Where I was most interested and wanted to learn it, but I don't have time FOR NOW)*
Only the humming guy made a valid demonstration
4:47 okay I'm done, I already came twice
That's where my mind went right after hearing that lol
Gosh these people are so amazing
Now I'm in love with them all
Different cultures expect different sort of gender expression - like being feminine/even childlike - and that bleeds into the way of speaking. As well as other behaviour norms customs like being polite, being friendly, being serious, being positive, being less or more emotional.
Different languages also just have different sounds, tones and note. I think it might affect quite a lot whether the language is spoken from the front area of the mouth or from the back and throat.
Middle-eastern speak stresses me out because it sound so angry often 😂
The biggest different seems to be in the way _women_ speak - how high or low that is. Most spoke english the lowest. For me I think I speak english higher than my native language. Probably because women tend to be less feminine in my country. The women here talk with quite low tone and in a very similar way than men. But our national "mindset" and way of speaking is also quite monotone, serious and unemotional (or negative in emotion) ...yeah, Finns are a fun bunch. English and especially accent like the irish one are a little "singsongy" to my ear and I speak them a lot more melodically. I like saying my name (Nina) in english - it sound very pretty in english. Finns speak english in a VERY recognizable way, it's blunt, monotone, hard sounding, not flowy at all 😂 I think we sound like we're a little "slow" in the head and on a bad mood 😂
I switch partly consciously to a lighter friendlier tone when I speak english. Otherwise there is a lot of misunderstandings. I've gotten into awkward situations in the past with the low blunt way of speaking and dark and sarcastic sense of humour. Slavic people get it but such cheerful people like a new-zealander can get absolutely shaken by me 😂😂😂
And I'm actually very extroverted and lively talker and person compared to most Finns 😂
3:53 I've done that 😂 I had an early morning Spanish class senior year of college, and needed to ask the professor for one more of the handouts. In my head it came out as "ato dos s'il vous plait" - three words (in English, that is) and it came out Japanese, Spanish and French. Thankfully I caught myself before I said it out loud, but I'm actually kinda sad that I didn't, because that would've been hilarious 😂
I feel like it depends on the placement of the words. Like how hebrew and Spain's Spanish are around the same placement , while German is more guttural, and Japanese is more frontal but closed [just examples that came to mind].
2:22
IDK WHY BUT I'M REALLY PROUD!
Čau visiem, ko mēs darām? 😂😂😂 Oj my, this guy is so funny🤣🤣🤣
1:20 this dude sounds like my electric toothbrush
as a bilingual individual, I can also agree that our voices change normally when we speak in another language
2:54 stop- ✋🏻😭 is he reading my mind?
I'm not here for the video, I'm here for him 4:14 - 4:35
the guy in the second tik tok is a SNACK.
I speak Greek(mother tongue), Korean, English, Japanese and French(the latter two not as fluently but I can understand very well. Still learning) and I'm learning Spanish and Chinese(beginner) and I sound so different in each one that sometimes when I record myself to check pronounciation that I don't even recognize my own voice!
