Hello from Brazil. I am not so good at speaking english. It is not my native language. It is fascinating to see a country like India to preserve so many diverse languages despite centuries of british colonization. Here in Brazil, the portuguese language dominates all spheres of public administration and daily life. There are very few exceptions. Greetings from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) to all people of India, regardless of religion or ethnicity.
People who are advocating Tamil movement should realise that Tamil itself is a dominant language and is a threat to minor languages of Nilgiris and Tamil Nadu. Vaagri Boli, Saurastra, Kodagu, Toda etc are all threatened by Tamil. Any major language is a threat to minor languages.
Exactly... There are state specific languages like oriya in Odisha and bangla in west bengal but within the states their are language specific to communities which are their common tongue which slowly replaced by state language and then slowly hindi and english replaced them.

Manish Kumar Singh lets agree to disagree. I will forever thank my parents to teach me bengali even though i waa born in U.P. and studied there upto class 10. Everytime i enjoy bengali legends i thank my parents.
Sharmishtha Basu and other than being fun how has it helped you in any economical sense? If there are multiple languages then it causes obstruction towards a unified education system , trade, communication. And a lot. If one wishes to learn a language as a hobby they can chose to do so, but as a nation we need to choose and promote one language for our future generation. And that language should make economic sense - English My parents are from East UP, they speak bhojpuri but i was raised in Mumbai, neither can i read or write both Hindi or Marathi. And i am well of without it.

Raghunath Ramachandra a small number of people from the small Mauritian Tamil community speak Tamil. I laughed my head off the first time I heard them speak. No disrespect I thought it was more pure than news Tamil in TN. The lady was like Vannakam, enna seidi, Amarungal. Most Tamils in Mauritius who speak little Tamil actually think enna seidi literally means how are you. Of course it may be considered an equivalent because they say that along with the greeting instead of soukyama or nalla irkingla.
And similar ly same feeling when I hear Telugu from people in around Maduri area. Not sure how these people are migrated and still maintain their language
Bhaskara Rao Chukkala They day the same about Hindi or Bihari languages spoken by those who settled in the Carribean. When a community moved from one place to another, if they move as a group they tend to keep the languages the same as long there is no outside pressure to change and as long there is enough interactions with people who speak the same language. Smaller communities tend to preserve their languages sometimes better then the larger ones.
Actually Sinhalese as a language is closely related to Oriya, not Tamil!! Their Dance styles of Kandiyan dancing is again closely related to Oriya folk dances. The traced the Sinhalese people to be people migrated from the old ancient kingdom of Kalinga. The Tamil people in Sri Lanka are obviously related to the Tamils in India.
Learn SANSKRIT , all indians except tamilian...becoz Tamil is also a rich language. If u learn SANSKRIT u don't need to worry about anything. Becoz maximum indian Languages are part of this.
The theory of languages cracking up sounds interesting, there are dialects of English and Spanish that are quite unintelligible, but considering the unifying power of media and technology today, I thought that they wouldn't so easily turn into their own units of language. But who knows. :) Thank you for this video, it was very interesting.
Kauê I thought the exact same thing. In a way he has said it to without realising it. He said language belongs to a community. Well today world is increasingly becoming one community.
Viraj Vibhute yeah its really interesting . I heard Noam Chomsky too espoused the same thing that people try to identify with their communities. But considering the advancement in technology in communication and an integrated world slowly small languages will recede into the background and whether it will die or not depends on how long the world can continue its integration. If there are set backs to globalism those languages will resurface. It depends on the success or failures of globalism.
Yeah, really interesting. This idea that languages have a "carrying capacity" and they break up because they get so big that one language can't meet the needs of all the groups that speak it. It's a fascinating way to look at things, though I have to say I can't quite wrap my head around why that might be considered a primary reasons for languages diverging rather than isolation. For most of human history the only way to hear the way someone from a certain area spoke was to visit the area yourself or to have someone from that area come to you. It makes sense that Latin cracked up because the Roman Empire cracked up and citizens of Rome were no longer traveling as often through the region and using Latin as a lingua franca. My ancestors only heard from the people who actually came into shouting distance from them, but here I am listening to the way people speak English in India, in England, in Australia, and all over the world. In turn people in all of those countries seem to be consuming material from the Anglosphere for entertainment or learning purposes. As American hegemony fades I could see people turning away from American pop culture and cutting themselves off from that avenue of learning. But on the other hand, as the world grows more connected the importance of having some common language also increases. On one hand, I could see English evolving into a new language in India because of Indians losing interest in content from America and the rest of the Anglosphere. But then, if Indians allow their English to drift too far then they would lose their ability to communicate with people from those countries and with people who use English as a trade language. It's a lot to think about, but I'm so glad I am thinking about it. I think that because fate gifted me the English language at birth I can take it for granted. But there's nothing magical about English and some day it will evolve beyond my understanding.
@@jonhanson8925 i think british followed by american hegemony is principally behind english having grown as a language in the world. it has now become the language of the internet which seems to have a life of its own. he talks about "semantic load" however, and that intrigues me.
"I had not imagined India to be like this" Those words seem unexpected coming from an Indian scholar, but it goes to show the detph and breadth of our cultural universe, which is yet to be fully explored. I wish the best for every language in India, and I hope linguists make good haste in studying them.
Nobody is talking about the Himalayan language....from Himachal, Uttarakhand to ...arunchal...languages r disappearing . Also the so called Hindi belt is not even Hindi speaking...marwaddi ,haryanvi ,himachali, garhwali kumauni ,bangani ,bhojpuri..all come under hindi belt but they r spoken languages not recognised by government ..on will be extinct without people knowing... I searched for this topic in net because I'm pretty sure my language will be extinct in next 25-50 years .. Languages down Andaman ones r already extinct...it's not just Hindi imposition but people preference to speak English and Hindi or Tamil maybe neighbouring languages. NE languages extinct too as people r getting modernised infact many speak English. There aptani, adi, Bodo bokar r nearly gone. There s around 190 Indian languages in UNESCO's 🔴 RED LIST of endangered Indian languages ..can u imagine...a so much less diverse India because....what's fun in that😕😩🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hindi silently kills....but in case of english it is understood it is foreign and we don't talk in english inside house...but in case of hindi we use it inside house too.
Not even a single word about English? Hindi and other indian languages have become complete hotchpotch can't even use simple words like पर and now using"but" hindi should be the language to unite us all woth different states while promotion languages in different states like himachal
Our proud language of Telugu in our beloved state of Telangana and its capital.. We are deeply worried about our language Telugu being taken over by Hindi.. Speak Telugu, Love Telugu..
Don't worry south ppls are too arrogant to respect other languages make Tamil or Telugu supremacy.. they may understand hindi but don't gonna use them. I'm Bengali I have no problem with any language if we got chance we learn it and use it to to communicate with rest of Indians. But still we give more priority to Bangla.

Instead of fighting over languages... which is the oldest... every indian should take effort in learning these languages... and government also should take steps to preserve them.. every language has its own importance... even if spoken by few people... it fills the heart with agony on seeing these languages disappearing 😔😔
no one is dictating u,only u have this problem in ind..i cannot recall anyone (not some dumb ass idiot politician ;vote bank one) who has said that learn hindi...may be to learn as some crash course but no one has ever asked to do masters in it
Krishna Gannavaram you Tamils are just wannabes who tryna show off by learning other country languages but can't even use Indian national language Hindi
Well people who are criticizing English here needs to know that India is connected by English only. This nation has more than 20 languages spoken in different states now how on the earth you are supposed to learn all of them. English is the only language which can connect these people that too without provoking any regional clashes all for the sake of language.
yash mhatre even I'm a Hindi speaker but let me tell you one of my travel incident I belong from Nagpur ( Maharashtra) and we here communicate in both Hindi and Marathi without any discrimination but when I went to Pune ( Maharashtra) and moment I used Hindi as my preferred one since I'm fluent in it ,the environment turned hostile they were treating me like I'm from other state and was discrimating. How can I be sure of discrimation? I went with a friend who is fluent Marathi speaker. So I hope you got my point and what I meant to say.
Yes i get your point and respect it, but that is problem about us discriminating based on language. And coz of which we try to hide behind english. Its not about good or bad this is just the situation. All we can do is work together towards a better future and keep out culture alive and not let it die.
Indian Hindi replaces those words with Sanskrit and Prakrit words along with apbhramsh. Hindi's grammar structure is very well Indian,even now! Also, English is not a pure Germanic language. It is an admixture of Germanic+Romantic language along with influences from other groups as well.
In our Malwa region (Indore,Ujjain, Dhar,Dewas) more than 15 million people speak Malvi,but most of the people outside Malwa don't even know about this. You won't believe Malvi dialect has more than 9 diffrent versions.
Sujnyan Jambarmath But you are wrong. There should a common language bw North and South and that could be Hindi. I don't understand why south Indians don't have any problem with English but they hate Hindi when learning Hindi is a better option. You should learn from gujratis who don't have any problem with Hindi and speak Gujrati along with Hindi whenever needed.
Hindi killed so many languages in north india, and nowadays urdu is killing old hindi as well. In few years north india will become urdu speaking land. All other languages gonna die.
This is incredible. I have been reading a lot lately trying to establish a link with Armenian and Sanskrit. Finally, the research I was looking at. Great great work. Excellent content like always. This is by far by fav channel
I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I can understand 3 languages. Bangla, Hindi and English. I can understand hindi without learning a single word of it. Hindi/Urdu language is a poison which is killing our beautiful language and the rest of the languages in india. I request everyone to learn At least 2 languages. Firstly, Your native language and secondly, English. After that you can learn other language which is optional. By doing this we can protect our own languages.
Curious how on Earth there are languages spoken only by a few thousand which are thriving, while there are those still spoken by millions which are endangered as they are falling out of use.
Loved this concept of languages carrying capacity. The principals of nature works here as well, when something reaches its top, it has a destiny bound to bring it to ground one day.
It was indeed enlightening to hear from a great scholar like you Mr.Devy . Sadly Sir you forgot to mention the various austric (Mundari) speeches; one of the prominent languages once widely spoken in ancient India. But commendable work all the same.
Thanks for telling the truth that Sanskrit is not originated in India rather imported by Iranians, many people still think that sanskrit is developed by great sages and all that nonsense!!!!
except for the word "Chinese" to describe mandarin and cantonese, every word that came of his mouth was measured and well thought out. Mr. Devy please do keep up the awesome work.
@hitchens ... true dat, but dont expect a linguistic professor to use a vernacular term like "chinese". i didnt say he was wrong, just appauled by lack of consideration.
RIPHitchens it's actually calling Hindi, Bengali, Tamil as the same language - Indian. Chinese languages refer to the languages of China, or to be more specific, the Sinitic language family. What is commonly referred to as "Chinese" is actually the Mandarin language.
mate ... i dont need explanations or justifications... i understand what is meant, once again ...if he was a chaiwalla or a railway clerk ... i wont raise the issue, but again he is a professor of linguistics ... him refering to "indian languages" is different to calling all languages of india as indian ... thats what he did by saying "chinese" ... cantonese and mandorin may be the most common dialects but thtere are hundreds of distinct dialects in China. I am sure that the people of chine are as proud of thier nation and its heritage as you are of India. And had a Chinese professor made a similar statement about Indian languages... i would have commented the same on his/her page. Know what you are talking about first. its easy to bullshit.
When he says Zend Avesta and Armenian are connected to Sanskrit I think he doesn't exactly means it evolved into Sanskrit, because he says that Tibet and Bhutan's language also joined in India. I think it is more like a chain than evolution
Indeed, its important to consider all the evidence against Aryan migration theory into account before making statements. When he says: Zend Avesta evolved to sanskrit its still in the era when Aryan Dravidian divide was largely accepted ! This research is great, but as always more needs to be understood its not the final even about the linkage of languages !
07:13 "Chinese, English, and Spanish will crack up and develop into different languages." Do not underestimate the power of globalization. There will be a need to communicate to as many people as possible, creating incentive to maintain mutual intelligibility. The prestige feeling many get for knowing a common dialect, the existence of grammar nazis, and the internet being mostly consistent in dialect, also contribute to that. So long as there is a global economy, the languages will not crack. If changes to a language do come, it will affect the language on a global scale.
I don't think he can compare the break up of Latin with modern languages and their futures...the world is becoming more globally connected, there's a greater need for languages to synchronize and coexist/merge!
Because we South Indians preserve our language, we fight for our language, we don't let it going to die like what happened to sanskrit, now day most of all North Indian people fight only for hindi, not for those mother tongue...even they don't no what happened those peoples mother tongue.
Great to see people reaction.... even in North India we do have so many languages but we all know Hindi though we have our own different accents which s typical in each state... but South India doest have any single language except English which s a foreign language for today though it has been originated from Tamil or Sanskrit...no one has ever imposed any language on any Indian.... friends learning languages are great opportunities...don't mislead with these comments.... many South Indians speak great Hindi.... Hindi s a language which maximum Indian can speak....Jai hind Informative video
Hindi is killing many Indian languages, even Giving feeling of superiority and inferiority among the citizens of India on the basis of their mother tongues. This is such a shame that where we should be proud of and should promote the concept of unity in diversity we are heading towards a monopolistic approach of Hindi nation or Hindia I should say. Indian constitution should be rechecked. This imposition of language of Western UP on others should be eradicated from India.

Sir I have become a fan of you.following your work and sharing it with others.Do explore the North-eastern states too.you might come across more than 50 or so languages in this region.
I feel in the next few decades as India becomes more developed and integrated, English will be known to everyone as a uniting language of the country. Hindi will also hold importance as a second lingua Franca. But I do believe knowing an additional language reflects the diversity our country has. Hope to see all languages of this beautiful country flourish.
PunjabiSikhRajput1 but how English is destroying all language.except top 10 powerful language.English has distroyed our language bro what fuck you think.Save your language to English.Hindi isn't your anime.Hindi is language of your nation.
For me the role of a language is only to communicate with others n understand the others.In there is problem of common language so that everyone should understand this will also create problems for buisness , education n other things.Regional language are also important n we should preserve it.But a common language hindi should be there in whole India so that there is ease to communicate the people all over India.
preservation of mother tongue is very good but opposing the national language and used English language means that some states are not morally independent today's he is colonial of British language English didn't believe in Indian sovereignty UP also preserve his local languages like awadhi bhojpuri ... and also very good in hindi knowledge of English also but not used to because we believe that we are independent we are Indian we believe in our sovereignty hindi is not just a language mind it it is our identity it is one rope to bound us it is not our mother tongue it's our nation tongue proud to be an Indian proud on hindi also jai hind jai bharat
Ddd ji Hindi isn't distroing language.because Hindi speaker spreading Hindi in all states.so that is why Hindi popularity is encouraging.and Hindi speaker is encouraging too .than English and expect 50 krod Hindi speaker.and Hindi speaker is spreading Hindi in America Germany Russia Japan because of population what 😯 population what the fuck 🤣😂 population.that is the reason
What we seriously need is an acknowledgement and revival through mass media and online forums that help communicate and understand. It is however easier said than done and the work of this great man needs to be carried forward with the help of timely and permanent intervention by central and state governments to keep languages across the state alive. This can happen through public demand only.
@@Sudeep.Manerkar 😁 many words we borrow from other language and vice-versa sanskrit is mother of hindi so nothing wrong infact pure hindi word coming from sanskrit
Bal Gangadhar Tilak wrote about it with the data and the prevelant theory at that time. In those many years, a lot many research and evidence has happened and now it doesn't hold ground. Who said that there is no common themes amongst the Zend Avestha and the Vedas?! We were very close to each other, but no where it can be said that Avesthan predates Sanskrit. Avesthan is not even an existing language. Much of it was recovered and restructured using Sanskrit in the 19th and 20th century.
Rakesh Kumar Sanskrit is way older than any other language. It is the only language which has 70+ words for water. Update your knowledge base and then comment on something, the antiquities of which are not human in origin.
Rakesh Kumar the relationship is reverse. Many words and Avestan are from later lartbof Rig Veda (non-family portions) and Zarathustra himself says they come from the homeland of Aryans (India) and the names he mentions as his forefathers are contemporary people mentioned in earlier parts of Rig Veda. To know he Vedic chronology, you need to understand that Vedic Sanskrit is not one and the same throughout but it indicates newer words in the mater parts so it shows that Just the Rig Veda alone spanned through several millennia. Earlier portions of Rig Veda were composed on the banks of Sarasvati and this is where the Dasarajna battle happens with Aryan Purus fighting against non-Arya to the west. Arya here not in a racial sense here but cultural, those who spoke a sister language but it was different enough to be considered a corrupted version of the Vedic language. Then the victor claims the lands sending the foes out of their homeland, Kashmir and other regions west and northwest of Haryana and Indian Punjab. Then Rigveda mentioned dryingnof Saraswati in the later hymns and movement it people to Indus which becomes the most important river. The lost Saraswati is deified as Goddess of learning as in the banks of this now extinct river Vedas were composed. The tribes that loved west are known as Persians spoke the Avestan which is a language to Sanskrit. Other tribes that lost also moved out and they resulted in Hurrites and Kassites. One cannot say that Sanskrit came from out of India based on he current political setup. Ancient Vedic lands extended to regions beyond current India. ProtoIE language may have formed outside of current Indian boundaries but it separated into multiple branches and they moved out of India. The closest branch to ProtoIE is Sanskrit and it can only remain as close to its predecessor because it stayed close to the source. So Sanskrit could have originated near India and moved into present geo-political boundary and the other branches which stayed near by were Iranian, hurrite, Kassite and Tocharian (Tushara). There are mention of many tribes which were sister civilizations in RV and these were the many branches and IE languages. Some moved out to the North to near Russia and some to Anatolia from Kashmir and regions near it to Europe the people who moved took the language and culture.
Rakesh Kumar even Tamils don’t accept that Tamil is older obviously Sanskrit is older. As it has the oldest records Tamil came much later. Sanskrits earliest scripts the Vedas has words of Dravidian origins. Yet it wasn’t tamil or any other Dravidian language but from a Proto Dravidian Language out of wich Tamil and Later Telugu Kannada and Malayalam appeared. The only thing you can say is that Tamil is the longest Surviving Classical Language in the world wich is with 80 Million speakers world wide still a important language for communication.

Very interesting topic. It made me wonder... the Lambada community they say culturally may have migrated from Indus Valley, especially by their unique way of dressing, jewellery etc. The language they speak seems so unique too with no resemblance to any other present day languages. Based on the example you quoted about Tanjore Marathi, could the Lambada community be speaking the same language that was spoken during Indus Valley times?
How can sir say thay Sanskrit came from some other languages ? the most old book itself is written in Sanskrit did you any other older book of it's mother ,No!!!

you are saying that Sanskrit came from armenia , turkey....why do I believe you on that? I don't have any proof to believe it! please provide some proof.
Sanskrit or Samskritam as known in South India is an Indian language born here and then moved to middle East not the other way around.... Western biased scholars always put India at lower order ..do not believe them...
Let's be realistic language is a tool that enables humans to convey their thoughts and ideas so let's not get sentimental and fight amongst ourselves by saying this language is better than this or that it's just a tool let's not let this create a divide between us. it's natural for only the best to survive just like the quote "survival of the fittest" we have way too many languages which kinda pushes us apart and creates a barrier so it's for the best that they disappear. We need a language that everyone is able to speak ultimately eliminating the language barrier we have. So I guess it's eventually bound to have and it can't be stopped.
It is hard to belief but true that different Indian languages actually disappearing. Many people shame on their mother tongues. How?? We have to rescue our mother tongues.
Hello from Brazil. I am not so good at speaking english. It is not my native language. It is fascinating to see a country like India to preserve so many diverse languages despite centuries of british colonization. Here in Brazil, the portuguese language dominates all spheres of public administration and daily life. There are very few exceptions. Greetings from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) to all people of India, regardless of religion or ethnicity.
You really speak good English!
Que língua era falada no Brasil antes do português?
Not just British. 700 years of Islamic invasions too.

People who are advocating Tamil movement should realise that Tamil itself is a dominant language and is a threat to minor languages of Nilgiris and Tamil Nadu. Vaagri Boli, Saurastra, Kodagu, Toda etc are all threatened by Tamil.
Any major language is a threat to minor languages.
Exactly... There are state specific languages like oriya in Odisha and bangla in west bengal but within the states their are language specific to communities which are their common tongue which slowly replaced by state language and then slowly hindi and english replaced them.

Sourashtra language is spoken in Tanjore Tamilnadu. Baduga is spoken in ooty.

Raghunath Ramachandra a small number of people from the small Mauritian Tamil community speak Tamil. I laughed my head off the first time I heard them speak. No disrespect I thought it was more pure than news Tamil in TN. The lady was like Vannakam, enna seidi, Amarungal. Most Tamils in Mauritius who speak little Tamil actually think enna seidi literally means how are you. Of course it may be considered an equivalent because they say that along with the greeting instead of soukyama or nalla irkingla.
And similar ly same feeling when I hear Telugu from people in around Maduri area. Not sure how these people are migrated and still maintain their language
Bhaskara Rao Chukkala They day the same about Hindi or Bihari languages spoken by those who settled in the Carribean. When a community moved from one place to another, if they move as a group they tend to keep the languages the same as long there is no outside pressure to change and as long there is enough interactions with people who speak the same language. Smaller communities tend to preserve their languages sometimes better then the larger ones.
Actually Sinhalese as a language is closely related to Oriya, not Tamil!! Their Dance styles of Kandiyan dancing is again closely related to Oriya folk dances. The traced the Sinhalese people to be people migrated from the old ancient kingdom of Kalinga. The Tamil people in Sri Lanka are obviously related to the Tamils in India.

The theory of languages cracking up sounds interesting, there are dialects of English and Spanish that are quite unintelligible, but considering the unifying power of media and technology today, I thought that they wouldn't so easily turn into their own units of language. But who knows. :) Thank you for this video, it was very interesting.
Kauê I thought the exact same thing. In a way he has said it to without realising it. He said language belongs to a community. Well today world is increasingly becoming one community.
Viraj Vibhute yeah its really interesting . I heard Noam Chomsky too espoused the same thing that people try to identify with their communities. But considering the advancement in technology in communication and an integrated world slowly small languages will recede into the background and whether it will die or not depends on how long the world can continue its integration. If there are set backs to globalism those languages will resurface. It depends on the success or failures of globalism.
Yeah, really interesting. This idea that languages have a "carrying capacity" and they break up because they get so big that one language can't meet the needs of all the groups that speak it.
It's a fascinating way to look at things, though I have to say I can't quite wrap my head around why that might be considered a primary reasons for languages diverging rather than isolation.
For most of human history the only way to hear the way someone from a certain area spoke was to visit the area yourself or to have someone from that area come to you. It makes sense that Latin cracked up because the Roman Empire cracked up and citizens of Rome were no longer traveling as often through the region and using Latin as a lingua franca.
My ancestors only heard from the people who actually came into shouting distance from them, but here I am listening to the way people speak English in India, in England, in Australia, and all over the world. In turn people in all of those countries seem to be consuming material from the Anglosphere for entertainment or learning purposes.
As American hegemony fades I could see people turning away from American pop culture and cutting themselves off from that avenue of learning. But on the other hand, as the world grows more connected the importance of having some common language also increases. On one hand, I could see English evolving into a new language in India because of Indians losing interest in content from America and the rest of the Anglosphere. But then, if Indians allow their English to drift too far then they would lose their ability to communicate with people from those countries and with people who use English as a trade language.
It's a lot to think about, but I'm so glad I am thinking about it. I think that because fate gifted me the English language at birth I can take it for granted. But there's nothing magical about English and some day it will evolve beyond my understanding.
Unintelligible, really?

Thanks for telling the truth that Sanskrit is not originated in India rather imported by Iranians, many people still think that sanskrit is developed by great sages and all that nonsense!!!!
except for the word "Chinese" to describe mandarin and cantonese, every word that came of his mouth was measured and well thought out. Mr. Devy please do keep up the awesome work.
He's not wrong, Standard Mandarin is officially called the Chinese language. You can look that up.
@hitchens ... true dat, but dont expect a linguistic professor to use a vernacular term like "chinese". i didnt say he was wrong, just appauled by lack of consideration.
RIPHitchens it's actually calling Hindi, Bengali, Tamil as the same language - Indian. Chinese languages refer to the languages of China, or to be more specific, the Sinitic language family. What is commonly referred to as "Chinese" is actually the Mandarin language.
mate ... i dont need explanations or justifications... i understand what is meant, once again ...if he was a chaiwalla or a railway clerk ... i wont raise the issue, but again he is a professor of linguistics ... him refering to "indian languages" is different to calling all languages of india as indian ... thats what he did by saying "chinese" ... cantonese and mandorin may be the most common dialects but thtere are hundreds of distinct dialects in China. I am sure that the people of chine are as proud of thier nation and its heritage as you are of India.
And had a Chinese professor made a similar statement about Indian languages... i would have commented the same on his/her page.

When he says Zend Avesta and Armenian are connected to Sanskrit I think he doesn't exactly means it evolved into Sanskrit, because he says that Tibet and Bhutan's language also joined in India. I think it is more like a chain than evolution
Indeed, its important to consider all the evidence against Aryan migration theory into account before making statements. When he says: Zend Avesta evolved to sanskrit its still in the era when Aryan Dravidian divide was largely accepted !
This research is great, but as always more needs to be understood its not the final even about the linkage of languages !
Karthik Parashar True
07:13 "Chinese, English, and Spanish will crack up and develop into different languages."
Do not underestimate the power of globalization. There will be a need to communicate to as many people as possible, creating incentive to maintain mutual intelligibility. The prestige feeling many get for knowing a common dialect, the existence of grammar nazis, and the internet being mostly consistent in dialect, also contribute to that. So long as there is a global economy, the languages will not crack. If changes to a language do come, it will affect the language on a global scale.
There is already something like that though. Pidgin english. English will change thats for sure, its a property of english .

hindi is not just a language mind it it is our identity it is one rope to bound us it is not our mother tongue it's our nation tongue
proud to be an Indian proud on hindi also
jai hind jai bharat
Ddd ji Hindi isn't distroing language.because Hindi speaker spreading Hindi in all states.so that is why Hindi popularity is encouraging.and Hindi speaker is encouraging too .than English and expect 50 krod Hindi speaker.and Hindi speaker is spreading Hindi in America Germany Russia Japan because of population what 😯 population what the fuck 🤣😂 population.that is the reason
Hindi is not national language
What we seriously need is an acknowledgement and revival through mass media and online forums that help communicate and understand. It is however easier said than done and the work of this great man needs to be carried forward with the help of timely and permanent intervention by central and state governments to keep languages across the state alive. This can happen through public demand only.
Telugu is being replaced we failed modernizing dont even have a definitive word for "gravity"
Use "gurutvaakarshan" hindi word 😁🤣🤭
@@Hope-xb5jv it already uses it in telgu
@@Hope-xb5jv its an Sanskrit word
@@Sudeep.Manerkar 😁 many words we borrow from other language and vice-versa
sanskrit is mother of hindi so nothing wrong infact pure hindi word coming from sanskrit
Thank you for opening a new dimension of languages to me and thank you for your research work .
Appreciate the efforts....although, the part of Zenda Avestha where he said Armenian being parent to Sanskrit is straight forward wrong!
Bal Gangadhar Tilak wrote about it with the data and the prevelant theory at that time. In those many years, a lot many research and evidence has happened and now it doesn't hold ground.
Who said that there is no common themes amongst the Zend Avestha and the Vedas?! We were very close to each other, but no where it can be said that Avesthan predates Sanskrit. Avesthan is not even an existing language. Much of it was recovered and restructured using Sanskrit in the 19th and 20th century.
Rakesh Kumar Sanskrit is way older than any other language. It is the only language which has 70+ words for water. Update your knowledge base and then comment on something, the antiquities of which are not human in origin.
AHH .. ITS TRUE.. UNLESS U ARGUE FOR ILLUSIONARY MYTHOLOGY
Rakesh Kumar the relationship is reverse. Many words and Avestan are from later lartbof Rig Veda (non-family portions) and Zarathustra himself says they come from the homeland of Aryans (India) and the names he mentions as his forefathers are contemporary people mentioned in earlier parts of Rig Veda. To know he Vedic chronology, you need to understand that Vedic Sanskrit is not one and the same throughout but it indicates newer words in the mater parts so it shows that Just the Rig Veda alone spanned through several millennia. Earlier portions of Rig Veda were composed on the banks of Sarasvati and this is where the Dasarajna battle happens with Aryan Purus fighting against non-Arya to the west. Arya here not in a racial sense here but cultural, those who spoke a sister language but it was different enough to be considered a corrupted version of the Vedic language.
Then the victor claims the lands sending the foes out of their homeland, Kashmir and other regions west and northwest of Haryana and Indian Punjab.
Then Rigveda mentioned dryingnof Saraswati in the later hymns and movement it people to Indus which becomes the most important river. The lost Saraswati is deified as Goddess of learning as in the banks of this now extinct river Vedas were composed.
The tribes that loved west are known as Persians spoke the Avestan which is a language to Sanskrit.
Other tribes that lost also moved out and they resulted in Hurrites and Kassites.
One cannot say that Sanskrit came from out of India based on he current political setup. Ancient Vedic lands extended to regions beyond current India.
ProtoIE language may have formed outside of current Indian boundaries but it separated into multiple branches and they moved out of India. The closest branch to ProtoIE is Sanskrit and it can only remain as close to its predecessor because it stayed close to the source. So Sanskrit could have originated near India and moved into present geo-political boundary and the other branches which stayed near by were Iranian, hurrite, Kassite and Tocharian (Tushara). There are mention of many tribes which were sister civilizations in RV and these were the many branches and IE languages. Some moved out to the North to near Russia and some to Anatolia from Kashmir and regions near it to Europe the people who moved took the language and culture.
Rakesh Kumar even Tamils don’t accept that Tamil is older obviously Sanskrit is older. As it has the oldest records Tamil came much later. Sanskrits earliest scripts the Vedas has words of Dravidian origins. Yet it wasn’t tamil or any other Dravidian language but from a Proto Dravidian Language out of wich Tamil and Later Telugu Kannada and Malayalam appeared. The only thing you can say is that Tamil is the longest Surviving Classical Language in the world wich is with 80 Million speakers world wide still a important language for communication.
One language United the people
More language divide the people
Whats ur mother tongue
Let tamil be national language to unite india not hindi. Because tamil is oldest language of this land

0:32 Hey! Where is Kannada? Isn't Kannada an Indian language?
@Hehe Boi Your comment has been reported as a hatred one to Google.
Tamil, for some reason, did not crack up. It produced one more major language, Malayalam and other Dravidian languages in Pakistan. But, it did not diminish.
हिंदी मेरी मातृभाषा हैं और मुझे हिंदी के अलावा मराठी और अंग्रेजी बोलना भी आता हैं। मुझे गलती केवल अंग्रेजी भाषा की लगती हैं क्युकी लोग कोई भी भाषा आज के समय में शुद्ध नहीं बोलते, अंग्रेजी की मिलावट हर एक वाक्य में साफ झलकती हैं।
अगर लोगो को अपनी भाषाओं से इतना प्यार हैं तो फिर वे इस चलचित्र पर उनकी भाषा में टिप्पणी क्यों नही करते! अंग्रेजी का उपयोग क्यों कर रहे हैं।
Short, touching and eye-opening is all I will say
In a world with mass media I think it is not at all guaranteed that languages will work in the future as they did in the past.
You guys are doing a great job👍
that's where the languages have disappeared that urge in us to talk in English and not in our language we could use translators in case theres a problem in conversing that could raise employ ability (* i know it would become kind of messy with so much languages around and not being able to converse in to them but we must not ignore the fact that with language our tradition are fading away)
In 2100 all Indian will speak.Hindi English.and Tamil Telugu and all will be destroy.
My marathi is really suffering alot from this fucking hindi 😭😔
Boycott hindi pls
Thanks for intativive to preserve language...how to connect
Many people are suggesting to make sanskrit as a common language... I request you all to understand that Tamil has nothing to do with sanskrit, other than a tiny bunch of loanwords.. i know many other indian language stand steady only with the help of sanskrit and that is not the case with tamil.. pls understand that...
Wrt, loanwords, every language has some amount of loanwords from other languages, even sanskrit has loanwords borrowed from.other indian language, and this is not an exception with europian languages...
I'm bengli but not arrogant like South or North people who fight for language shit.. as Bengali we know the value of mother tongue also if we visit other places if we got a chance we learned their language to respect them. Even every indians do same things but south and north are too arrogant with their ideology that's gonna break this country apart. When we respect mother tongue that mean we have to respect others also. But if we want to connected we have to learn more language india.
@@voidninja9134 every one (may be except the so called hinians) do that. In my life , i have worked in pune,mysore, hyderabad and chennai. I am now somewhat fluent in marathi, ksnnada, telugu, and my mother tongue Tamil. I aldo know malayalam very well because I studied my pg in thiruvananthapuram . Ofcourse I loved all of those languages, for that matter any other languages. Every language is a store of the corresponding people's culture. But when people suddenly say that Tamil or Telugu or Kannada is born out of Sanskrit , and without sanskrit your language is nothing., Then we have to explain them the truth and that sounds rude to other people who accept sanskrit or any lsnguage very well into the core of their language.
@@voidninja9134 the attitude towards hindii and sanskrit as superior languages by many indians , esp the sanghees , will break the country , just like jinna's superiority attitude towards urdu in East bangal , leasing towards bangladesh. As you are a bengali, hope i don't need to explain that history.
@@thaache Bangladeshi Bengal and indian Bengal is far different...they use Urdu words and we don't use any Urdu words.. also our pronounce far different than Bangladeshi... People may think indian bengli and Bangladeshi bengli same but we are both different one created in old times other one created modern time... Because I respect my own language that's why I respect other languages too... I like Modi that makes me Sangi ? And what's wrong being pro hindu ? If muslim can be Islamist... Does secular thinks hindu have to live this country like dogs and crows ?
In north India many languages where dying .I know many people forget thier mother tongue and now speaking in Hindi.
North indians should learn from tamils and save their languages from hindi
no . mr maan .
Wow what an idea , no indian language to communicate with other states but an european language will do for u , clap clap chap
@@anitathakur9340 you will release sooner or later what government is doing north laguages are going down . Bangla is a safe laguage because it is used in Bangladesh but other then if you speak Marathi you can know Hindi few languages are still surviving due to population. You can agrue but then you will see how north india will have only Hindi speakers. And south indian laguages slowly dieing
@@mayorsheepoffical no i am talking how there should be hindi to communicate between different states of country but education should be given in local language and dialects only
@@anitathakur9340 agreed but I learn Hindi because I like learning languagem but if you don't know Hindi still you communicate it is enough if you know your mother tongue and English. Hindi will not go exinct as it is a mother tongue for few and you can choose Hindi as thrid language.
This was beautiful to watch!
Wow, great documentation of Indian language
My mothers mother tongue is bundeli but she never speaks in it in public because people consider Bundeli as a language of gawaars
why did the government suppress the language count?
At last his thanku and that smile reminded me some of the best teachers I had in my life 😊 ...
Wow....great video...great project...However I don't feel English and Spanish will break up. Regional slangs/dialects might only be the key differences.
English already broke up. I speak Trinidad English Creole which is a mixture of English, French, French Creole, Spanish, Hindi and Bhojpuri. You would not understand anything I say…
English won't crack up. We have a sense of community..it's call the world wide web.
As a linguist, I have to give a thumbs down. Please, do not take this too seriously. It has a kitschy appeal that, however, has nothing to do with linguistic accuracy. I do not know what contribution this man has made, and this video certainly makes no accurate portrait of any such thing.
you have to point out our mistakes that can be verified else stfu !!
Inspirational ! Thank you Sir for all your efforts and sharing your insights with us
Very interesting topic. It made me wonder... the Lambada community they say culturally may have migrated from Indus Valley, especially by their unique way of dressing, jewellery etc. The language they speak seems so unique too with no resemblance to any other present day languages. Based on the example you quoted about Tanjore Marathi, could the Lambada community be speaking the same language that was spoken during Indus Valley times?
How can sir say thay Sanskrit came from some other languages ? the most old book itself is written in Sanskrit did you any other older book of it's mother ,No!!!
Deborah Immanuel , I think you are right , in my 8th standard I read in my History Book published by national publishing house NCERT it said that Rigveda is the most old book till now , It is written in Sanskrit , plus You can find words in many languages around the world picked up from Sanskrit , and it's the language which has the most amount of vocabulary and letters. I am not qualified I don't have any degrees but I think for just this little fact I don't need one🤣🤗
Deborah Immanuel First of all in the colonial times of India Europe completely destroyed Indian history and introduced concept of Arayns which is completely fake , they misleaded the world , and now also you are also thinking by taking Europe as cebtre of this world , this totally depends upon you ,And I don't believe in Wikipedia Any one can write whatever they want
you are saying that Sanskrit came from armenia , turkey....why do I believe you on that?
I don't have any proof to believe it! please provide some proof.
Sanskrit or Samskritam as known in South India is an Indian language born here and then moved to middle East not the other way around.... Western biased scholars always put India at lower order ..do not believe them...
the language came from turkey -> aremenia to India become Sanskrit of vedas? What bullshit?
Awesome video and really good channel.
Just loved this and subscribed
One day language diversity in india will end and only one language will prevail the land and glory will come to the nation let other languages die
Bhadva Vvv all problem will dead.😂 let them die.right I agree with you
Do you still think that.. in this growing global Internet community, we still continue smaller communities for different regions??
To fir English mai kyun baat krte ho.. hindi ka use krna shuru karo
hindi 300 saal bhi purani language nahi he, use tamil the oldest langage of india.
ha bhai sab ko tamil sikhane aana tum
To English bhi 500 saal purani hai
English is a better language than Hindi
Let's be realistic language is a tool that enables humans to convey their thoughts and ideas so let's not get sentimental and fight amongst ourselves by saying this language is better than this or that it's just a tool let's not let this create a divide between us. it's natural for only the best to survive just like the quote "survival of the fittest" we have way too many languages which kinda pushes us apart and creates a barrier so it's for the best that they disappear. We need a language that everyone is able to speak ultimately eliminating the language barrier we have. So I guess it's eventually bound to have and it can't be stopped.
What a clam & quite voice ,really heart touching voice
It is hard to belief but true that different Indian languages actually disappearing. Many people shame on their mother tongues. How?? We have to rescue our mother tongues.
What about Northeast India?? Demarcated area during colonial period??
