maltese sounds like an italian person speaking arabic
yes real
That’s essentially what it is.
And assyrian is like a kurdish person speaking arabic
Same the Tunisian accent, it's mixture with Italian,French, Arabic, Maltese, berber, Turkish
No@@try2justbe
Amharic is beautiful. To an untrained Western ear it almost sounds like a Portuguese person speaking Arabic.
I'm Ethiopian and I'm glad that you know the Amharic tongue is beautiful
Ur right it feels like a portuguese accent amazing .
@@simisimisimisimi3552inshallah god willing Cushitic speaking people will be free from Ethiopia including Somali and afar 😂😂😂 weather u like it or not
@@daviroza4700 cushitic semitic habasha different my a$$
Honestly Hebrew sounds like a mixture of German Portuguese and obviously Arabic lol
I understood "corona", "virus" and "dollar" 🙂
Coz these are all universal words in the past couple of years 😂😂😂
Not "diblumasiya"?
@@minskdhaka I had to google it before I understood it - then I thought that I really ought to have guessed it.
Xi Jinping and China 🤣
@@wosamosman9814guess what bro not ever person in the world speak Arabic 😱😱😱😱😱😱
I'm Polish. I didn't know that whenever I try to speak Arabic-like I'm speaking Amharic. ❤
Maltese is truly amazing, you hear Italian combined with Arabic and Hebrew sounds
Yeah I like that language, as a Tunisian I can understand it well.
For me it feels more like Italian, with a touch of arabic
Nothing Hebrew about it. It's just Arabic with Italian, French, Sicilian and English influence.
how is it hebrew lol
That's not Italian. It's Sicilian language
Arabic 100%
Tigre 20%
Aramaic/Syriac 10%
Maltese 5%
Hebrew 2%
Amharic 0%
Tigrinya 0%
(I'm Jordanian)
As Tunisian : Arabic 100% Maltese 90% Tigre 20 % Syriac 10 % Hebrew 5% Amharic 0% Tingri 0%
As an algerian, I say the same as you
Tefhem el 3arbi mch 5atrou 9rib lil darja amma 3ala 5ater 9ritou fel makteb, bel logic lou8et malta a9erbelna ebbarcha
As a moroccan i didn't understand nothing from maltese language and i would say that's the closest one to arabic is tigre and i only understand one word from Hebrew which is talat maybe it means three or Tuesday i'm not sure
Do Tunisians have exposure to Italian?
@@jenm1Maltese has Arabic language origins not Italian.
As an Gulf arab, I could hear the Aramaic influence on the northern dialects of Arabic, and I did find a few arabic loanwords on tigre
There is no influence. Arabic and Aramaic are two sister languages
@@mimirotatito786there is of course influence, they mean that aramaic has influenced the sound of levantine arabic which makes sense since they are in the same region, the levant
Very difficult to understand but Very wonderful languages!!
Here in Brazil loving this vídeo.
As a Arab, Tigre was the most understandable
Which country do you live in?
I can't decide if Maltese sounds like Arabic spoken with an Italian accent, or Italian spoken with an Arab accent.
Definitely arabic with an italian accent, i can understand a lot of what he’s saying but he’s saying it so funny lol, so bouncy and clipped
Neither. It's a descendant of Phoenician with some Latin words.
Porqué no los dos
@@Fifi-jb3yx Maltese is a Semitic language with Italian loan words 😅
@@magnuscorbin5040no it has nothing to do with Phoenician. Before the Arabs came the Maltese islands were deserted. Maltese descended from Siculo-Arabic with Romance influence from subsequent rulers
Holy shit I didn't expect to understand some Aramaic as an Arabic speaker. They're really similar
As an English speaker, I understood none of these.
Great video, please do south Asian languages next!
Wow I never thought Tigray was that close to Arabic, I actually understood a bigger chunk than what I have anticipated
Tigray and Maltese followed by Aramaic were the most comprehensible to me as a native Arabic speaker
I was actually shocked by how much Maltese I understood as I already speak Spanish
It’s like you could go there and understand much of what’s being said
Podrías hacer la comparación de los acentos del Inglés!?
as Amharic speaker i understood:
Amharic definitely 100%
arabic 0.1%
hebrew 0% this one was very complicated.
aramaic 0.1%
trigrinya 50%
aramaic 0%
tigre idk how 0%
maltese -99999999%
Am I the only Arabic speaker who couldn't understand Maltese at all? I have read some Maltese and understood a lot of it but when spoken it becomes very hard to catch the words.
The Tigris language is closer to Arabic
There is indeed an influence of Italian in Maltese language: centessimu, libra sterling, tensione, incidente, cambiu, rispectivamente...
As an Arab, I understood every word spoken by the woman in Tigre! Also, Maltese is not a Semitic language because it's a mix of different languages.
that would be like saying English is a Romance language because of all the influences from Latin 😂
@@hyysonin
Maltese people have their own language, which is a mixture of different languages. Please explain how the Maltese language is considered a “Semitic language” when it's not spoken or written properly like other Semitic languages?
while the vocabulary is mixed, the grammar is entirely semitic, therefore making it a semitic language
You forgot Harari, Gurage and Silte ( Southern Semetic Ethiopian Languages)
Belíssimas línguas!
And where are the Akkadian newsreaders? 😢
As a Maltese person, I understand exactly 2 words of the Arabic lmao and it was "virus" and "Saudi"
That was modern standard Arabic, the closest Arabic dialect to Maltese would the Northern Tunisian Arabic dialect.
@abdibgm5748 I know, but when I watch Tunisian videos I also can barely understand anything and yet Arabs always say they're the same language. A language needs to mostly be understood by both sides. The only reason Tunisians can understand us is because a lot of them speak French or Italian.
@foshhaytek5304 You should watch videos on the dialects spoken in Tunis, Carthage and Djem.
Arabic is the most beautiful.
i love the ع
For Us Amharic. Arabic and Tigrygna are too much Noisy😁😁😁
Nobody seems to find the glottal coarse fricative [x] in the Hebrew "ugly". Whereas in German, a similar but softer sound is always given as the example for the "barbaric ugliness" of German.
Same with dutch
Don’t worry, hebrew is pretty ugly too. Nobody ever said it was a pretty language
For me (Hebrew native speaker), German sounds very sophisticated and Dutch sounds very sweet.
To me, Hebrew sounds like a german trying to speak arabic or amramaic lol
In maltese there are some words in Italian and catalan 😊
As Algerian i understood only arabic and bit of Maltese 😂
Should have included different dialects of Arabic, they sound quite different from one another.
Should have included Darija, aka Moroccan Arabic “dialect”, and other Arabs would have understood it just as they understand Aramaic. 😂
The reality is that the some of the “dialects” of Arabic are themselves languages in their own right.
Also, Hebrew should have had two samples, one from Mizrahi speakers and one from non-Mizrahi speakers.
The Mizrahi pronunciation has all the Semitic sounds intact. Non-Mizrahi Hebrew is affected by European phonology like Maltese.
Maltese is Semitic language greatly affected by Italian, while non-Mizrahi (standard Israeli) Hebrew is greatly affected by not only Yiddish-German, but also by Ladino-Spanish, Russian, etc.
While that is true, all news is broadcast in standardized Arabic. All Arabs understand that form regardless what dialect they speak.
This is standard arabic, its the same for news channels in every arab country and understood by all
@@Fifi-jb3yx I'm aware guys, I understand Arabic myself

التجرية اكثر لغة كانت مفهومة و قريبة للعربية
With Arabic part, was it a Modern Standard Arabic or one of the dialects?
It was MSA, 95% of Arabic news channels use MSA
Thought so, as I read in many linguistic studied that MSA or al-fusha is used in news broadcasts, educational content, legislative, executive and political settings. But I also heard that in Egypt, the trend is going towards the local dialect everywhere, even in education materials. In that particular video, which Arabic countrie's accent did the newscaster have?
You mean this video, I think the male newscaster is from the Gulf Region, but im not sure which country maybe Saudi Arabia and the female newscaster is from the Levant region, most probably Lebanese but their are both speaking MSA. The channel is MBC, which is owned by Saudi Arabia.
@@majido1000 ah ok, understood, thank you very much for clarification. But what they were speaking about in that video? I understood some words about corona and rial
@user-kv7lk4uh3b there are two clips. The first one they were talking about the Corona vaccination drive in Saudi Arabia and a 2nd Corona center opening in Jeddah and the second clip they were talking about the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC summit to be held in Riyadh and that the 40 years anniversary of its establishment is nearing.
As a native Hebrew speaker, I couldn't understand any language other than Hebrew.
I think assyrian is the closest to modern hebrew.
As a L2 Hebrew speaker, I understood some words from the Arabic and Aramaic but I couldn't put the sentences together
Well yeah, that's what happens when you fake jews violently create a fake country speaking a fake language using fake phonetics and vocabularies.
hebrew was revived by arabic
Because you are Ashkenazi and not Semitic, you are just an outsider to the region
You should have uploaded Hebrew with Sephardic pronounciation
With Yemenite or Iraqi much better
Modern Hebrew was Westernized when it was revived the language therefore it has lost its Eastern spirit as many letters sounds shifted to European language sound .
Do Indo-Iranian languages
I think Tigre influenced by Arabic the most, a lot of the sentences are fully Arabic
No Tigre came before Arabic. It derives from Ge’ez. Most if not all of Tigre people are Muslims.
@@Elum7
Amharic is also semitic. So is Hebrew. So is Tigrinya.
In fact Hebrew is from the same branch as Arabic even closer than Tigre.
However non of these languages have so much “Arabic” words like Tigre. Tigre clearly has LOANWORDS directly from Arabic. It is influenced by Arabic a lot mote.
@@StopTheLiess
So that explains why Tigre is influenced by Arabic. Thanks pointing out they are muslim, that immediately makes me know thwy have Arabic loanwords, plenty of them, same as Persians, Turks, Somalis, Etc.
@@Ahmed-pf3lg no they don’t. Even in Tigriynia some words sound the same but will mean different things. Like Hamsa is 50 in Tigriynia but 5 in Arabic. Both Tigriynia and Tigre came from Ge’ez.
@@StopTheLiess
Tigre is hugely influenced by Arabic. Accept this fact. They are muslim, so that is the reason.
Somali also hugely influenced by Arabic, so is Persian, Turkish, Urdu, etc. and Tigre is no different.
Which countries is that
Next please Iranic languages🌞
As Saudi:
Arabic 100%
Maltese 50%
Tigre 30%
Aramaic 10%
Hebrew 0%
Tigrinya 0%
Amharic 0%
When it came to phonetics Aramaic by far is the most sounding like Arabic.. others all sound way too different.
lol maltese didn't say a singal Arabic word
@@noahae340
Yes it did.. over 50% lol..
Maltese makes my brain so confused, you hear Arabic and Italian at the same timee!!!
🤣👍
The Saudi everyday dialect is a mix between Tigrinya and Maltese.
Yes, we don’t speak or sound Indian
As a Hindi and Urdu speaker, I understood SOME arabic words but was otherwise blank. Non Indo-European langs are a different beast
Maltese sounds like a mix of Arabic and Italian. While Hebrew and Arabic sound similar.
That’s actually, because Maltese comes from Arabic, specifically the Tunisian dialect of Arabic and it is a mix of Italian with a Latin script
Modern Hebrew is just like an Arabic with German accent and Russian vocabulary
@@AlqoaityThat is not true at all what 😂
which Arabic dialect/country?
It's MSA, they're talking about Saudi
It's standard arabic
For Tigrinya You used the Tigrayan Dialect from Tigray which is in Ethiopia I can tell because the accent throws me off, Tigrinya Language is Eritrean in origin just like Geez and Eritrean Tigirnya is considered the better Dialect and the much better Accent and the Original, use Eri Tv broadcast as they have it. I couldn't even really understand the Tigray one was saying tbh and Im a Tigrinya from Eritrea the accent is so different now I understand what Eritrean people talk about when they talk about the Tigray accent it sounds alot less clear then ours.
Considered the better Tigriynia to who? Ge’ez derived from Tigray
@@StopTheLiess To the inventors of Tigrinya which are Kebessa Eritreans? Thats why they speak it the clearest while Tigray they almost sound amharic lol, and What?😂😂 Ge’ez originated from Matara, Eritrea! Not Tigray😂😂 this is a certified fact so keep trying to steal Kebessa Eritrean History its not gonna work.
Stop lying Ge'ez originated from Tigray. The capital of Axum, a mainly Ge'ez speaking nation until its last few centuries was located in Tigray. If you can't understand Tigrynia thats on you.@@LZ-no3go
@@StopTheLiess Yes, but over the years tigrinya (ET) mixed with amahric while the tigrinya in Eritrea didn’t. Even when you listen to geez ist has more similarities to Eritrean tigrinya.
@@LZ-no3goback then it was Ethiopia though. We derived later on so don’t ignore that.

I'm gonna say something very controversial, but I don't like the sound made by the letter ayn or its equivalents, sorry. Because of that the ones whose sound I like the most are Modern Hebrew (as spoken by most urban Israelis). Amharic and Maltese.

I love the sounds of Arabic its like a music
True
As an Hebrew speaker who speak a little Arabic, I cannot understand anything else.
When the Ashkenazim revived the language as they were the pioneers no doubt and they should be appreciated for their accomplishment but in the other hand they destroyed the spirit of the language as they Germanized it which means they changed many typical pure Semitic letters to sound like their German or Yiddish language ( Yiddish derived from German ) as they were/are unable to pronounce them so they shifted from east to west and I will give you some examples :
1- The letter ח Hhet converted to German CH ( KH )
2- The letter ט Ttet converted to normal T
3- The letter ע A"yen converted to sound like A
4- The letter צ Ssadi converted to German Z ( TS )
5- The letter ק Qof converted to sound like K
6- The letter ר Resh converted to German R ( GH )
7- The letter ו Waw converted to German W ( V )
they did not change all these letters sound by bad intention but because these pure Semitic letters were/are so heavy on their tongues, then Mizrahim or eastern Jews followed them step by step as the Ashkenazim were/are the founders / leaders of the new state and they are who run the state departments, schools, educational institutes and media like TVs so their broken accent prevailed . This is the fact.
I speak Hebrew I understood nothinggg i
If you used the timestamps, then you probably didn't watch the Hebrew one, watch the video again because if you speak Hebrew you will easily understand most words.
Why use the least common Aramaic dialect to represent Aramaic? This is Suryoyo, which is very Arabicized. Use Assyrian Neo-Aramaic as an example, since it's the most common Assyrian language today.

I really doubt whether Amharic is semitic. I am convinced that it is NOT!
It lacks glottal plosive.
It has a lot of words in common with Hebrew, Arabic and Tigrinya and, I am sure, with other semitic languages as well.
It's pronunciation is different, but it is definitely a semitic language 😊

About 2:50, it is not even the standard Aramaic language. It's a local dialect, where they turn their A's into O's. So everything will sound like yoyo thotho lolo. Very ignorant of the uploader to use it for this video. It's like using the Texan accent to represent English or something.😑😁
@@LisaSpringfield both A and O pronounciations do not correspond to ancient aramaic. The pronounce was between A and O. Same thing happened with hebrew (kamats was between A and O, modern hebrew has only A, but yemenites say O). So both are valid
I had heard that the pronunciation of Hebrew was not the real one. It was European Jews who revived hebrew at the creation of Israel in order to create an Israeli identity. Except that the pronunciation is a pronunciation of Europeans trying to speak a Semitic language. As a result, this pronunciation remained and even the jews of arabic country who were Arabic speaking took over the Askhenazi pronunciation of Hebrew to integrate into the new state because not only had the Ashkenazim created Israel but they dominated politically, economically and culturally.
What do you mean “real one”? Before Zionism became an organized ideology at the turn of the 19th century, most of the 40,000 Jewish immigrants since the 1840s were not from Europe, but many from the middle east and north Africa. The modern Hebrew accent doesn’t perfectly match anyone’s accent when reciting Biblical Hebrew, but is rather a mix of the accents which developed while Jews from different countries interacted with one another.
@@ronshlomi582 I mean that those who brought Hebrew back were Jewish Europeans who spoke Yiddish. The pronunciation of modern Hebrew is a "European" pronunciation. The other Jewish communities, by integrating into Israel, have adopted this pronunciation
@@kalyaamirouche6009 The reviver of the Hebrew language, Eliezer Ben Yehuda, actually wanted people to use the more Spanish and Arabic influenced pronunciation as he found it more beautiful than his native pronunciation. Additionally, yiddish in most places used a flapped r sound, except for Poland. If you listened to old radio and music in Hebrew they would have been using a flapped r sound as well.
Not to mention they used arabic to try and authenticate their language and seem more middle eastern…
