Georgian here 🇬🇪✋ Thank you so much for explaining thoroughly Georgian language and Caucasian languages in general. It was splendid listening to you ♥️
Armenian here. Thanks so much for being so accurate, even to the point of mentioning how the Armenian Genocide even impacted spoken language in the region. Secret Armenians speak mostly Kurdish. Also a cool fact, the Hemshin are a Muslim Armenian group who still live in North East Anatolia and speak a dialect of Western Armenian. They survived in their homely mostly due to converting to Islam to escape Turkish slaughter.
I started learning Armenian through the Ling app last week, so this is a wonderful coincidence! The Caucasus region is so fascinating; I truly hope to visit someday. Beautiful video as always, Melange💙
I love ALL of your work, but these videos on languages are some of my favorites! I found this one absolutely riveting. Probably because this is language region where I am completely ignorant! So I learned so much here, in addition to the wonderfully soothing and relaxing effects of your videos. Your voice is so beautiful, and is so perfect for ASMR. I also really enjoy the tracing and smoothing of the pages. So incredibly tingly! I want to thank you for these extraordinary videos, that clearly require a great deal of time and research to prepare! You are so greatly appreciated!! ❤
Would you ever consider doing a video on a language isolate, such as Korean? I am studying it right now and it has such an incredible history, very rich and ancient, complex, and surprisingly what I would describe as a "playful" language. The script for Hangul alphabet and the other more ancient Hanja character system ( derived from Chinese characters) are both very beautiful. Hangul in particular is very easy to learn, and most fascinating is that the letters are actually a diagram of how to position the mouth, showing how to pronounce each letter. I'm also really fascinated by the 8 dialects of SK, and the differences with NK dialects ( though I don't think there's any modern information on studies of all the NK dialects). I think you'd probably do an excellent job making an asmr video about the Korean language, if that were to ever interest you.
Wow. So well researched and fascinating. I still fell asleep about 3/4 through so I will watch it again! (And probably a few more times) We’ll done as always 😊
Yes you are back with languages and maps, love it❤ I thought of you as 2 Dutch linguist tv makers (they speak fluent Russian and Chinese) made a very interesting and touching documentary series about the new silk road through the Causasus. It’s called “langs de zijderoute” and shows and tells about history, teir people languages of this incredible area. I get more and more intrigued about the subjects you are showing. Herzlichen Dank❤️🙏🏻
Ossetian is one of the most beautiful and tender languages, having its own long history and complex gramma. thank you for mentioning my native language!
I always find these language videos so interesting! It was fascinating to learn about an area that I was not very familiar with. It is sad how often in history minority languages have been suppressed/ oppressed to the point of near or total extinction. I think language tells us so much about a community’s culture, ways of thinking about the world, etc. It is a great shame that a lot of those ideas and perspectives have been lost.
What an interesting region. You mentioned Baccu in this video. That could be another video all on it's own. So much history there. Political friction due to it's strategic location. As always, a great video ❤
I'm Russian but thanks to you (/srs) now I know how little I know about regions, languages and nationalities of my huge country. Even at school I've never learned that things and this is so sad! Our government is all head over heels of nationalistic idea "Russia is for Russians only" and they literally kills small cultures and languages. Even me: My grandma is a Komi and I don't know her mother's language! Horrible. Anyway, thank you for your great work it was really educational! ❤
I'm from Georgia, and I appreciate your excellent video. One observation: In Georgia, the dividing line between Europe and Asia often lies not in the Great Caucasus Mountains but in the Lesser Caucasus or perhaps the southern border of the Caucasian republics. There is also an old version that the border should pass over the Rioni and Mtkvari rivers. It doesn't matter which version we favour, in any case, Georgia is located in Europe, not Asia.
Continental lines are often very erratic and random. After all, they are artificial, different people have different interests so they choose the version they prefer. Saying a country is from a continent is not something that means a lot. A country is what their people make it to be.
Great job 👏🏻 In the matter about the Avar language ( mag1rol mot ) or the Chechen language ( nokhchi mot ) if you want to know more i can help you . Because i am originally Avar myself and i live in Jordan and there’s thousands of Avars , Dargin and chechens live in the middle east and in Turkey
I can’t believe I missed this I am super excited to listen to this because I’m sure it’s going to be much more complicated than some of the other language videos lol
Another excellent, very relaxing overview of languages from another very interesting part of the world - both now and from ancient times. Such a diverse language makeup. These languages are likely very core to a population dispersal and distribution throughout a great deal of the ancient world. But I think this part of the ancient world has also been seeded from a very early far western origin. The Altaic peoples are IMO descendant from Scythians in many ways, who in turn are descendant from the very far western Irish lands. This linking of Scythians with primordial roots from Ireland remains highly controversial but has lots of strong supporting information. Particularly etymologically related as well as red headed and white skinned genetics. Long story into all this but lots going for a conclusion like it IMO. Will be watching your video again - likely a few times - and later in the night time. Good to hear your relaxing voice again. With your magical pointer that smoothly and mesmerizingly traces out what is going through your mind. Great stuff - Thank You. Glad you seem to be feeling better and hope this only improves further.
I'm watching this with a 2 days delay, and the first thing I noticed when I clicked on the video was the number 10.000. In 2 days your video was seen 10.000 times! WOW 😮😮😮 I'm so happy for you! You absolutely deserve this high number. Wishing you a fabulous weekend! 🪷☀️💞 And foz Mishka 🐭😘
You should look at languages spoken in South East Asia. For example I'd love to see an analysis of a language like Thai or Burmese because to me they just look like alien runes lol.
Armenian language is not Caucasian but Anatolian,just to make it clear.Their origin is from Eastern Anatolia and they are culturally similar to Greeks and Persians.

Wonderful video. This is a very old and storied area of the world that doesn't get enough attention for its beauty and culture. Thank you Melange.

I second this! Would love a video on Korean!
Welcome back!! Can't wait until I've got time to watch the full video this evening.
Wow. So well researched and fascinating. I still fell asleep about 3/4 through so I will watch it again! (And probably a few more times) We’ll done as always 😊
Watching this from Yerevan, Armenia; thanks for making this video!
Always lern so much and relax at the same time, vielen Dank and greetings from 🇹🇷
This was such an interesting video. What a fascinating part of the world, I feel inspired to visit!

Oh no, you've had to do a content warning for the cat! 😂
Poor Mishka 😪 She can never know!
Can’t get enough of this video❤

Yay more Melange! Hope your both feeling better!
Yes, finally! Thank you 😊

Love watching your videos. Love the combination of knowledge and relaxation you bring to them ❤
Я жила в Черкесске. Так необычно слушать о истории местных языков от кого-то из-за границы. Интересно и расслабляюще. Спасибо!

The dividing line between Europe and Asia is the Dnieper river
Thank you for your hard work! It's fantastic and very interesting!
Great job 👏🏻

I like the idea, I'll just have to see when I get around to it :)
🙏
this looks like such a cool book. Is it available in English?
Not that I know of, unfortunately.
What a lovely purr 😻
Very interesting ASMR video. I love your kitty! Looks just like one of mine.
Say hello to your kitty from us!
@@MelangeASMR Hehe I will tell her.

I'm glad you're feeling better ❤️ I really enjoyed this video a lot. I don't think I'm brave enough to learn a Caucasian language though!
🥰🥰💙💙😻😻
mishka is so cute 😭
😽
!❤❤❤😊
Im georgian 🇬🇪
Armenian language is not Caucasian but Anatolian,just to make it clear.Their origin is from Eastern Anatolia and they are culturally similar to Greeks and Persians.
Yes that's what I'm saying in the video 😅 It's an Indo-European language probably most closely related to Greek.
The kitty languages!❤❤😂😂
I am mingrelian
This channel checks a lot of boxes for me..
Caucasians are the best!
