Nečas speaks with such typical Czech hockey player dialect. He has none of the accent of his home region and he sounds exactly like the hockey kid from my town that I lectured maths in high school. Other side of the country. Almost all of the national league player interviews sound like that as well. Mouth slightly open, entire long sentences done in one long exhale, words sort of slurred and pauses replaced by the neutral "aaaaah" sound. If someone talks this way, you ask them what team they play for.
@Per Capita Absolutely rotten and failing youth hockey system. Nepotism, ice time dictated by parent sponsorship, kids groomed into thinking they're owed a chance in North America. It all needs to be burned to the ground before reinventing itself.
i have been made aware of this after posting, sorry for the mistake! i was under the impression that it was dialect and since i didn’t specify the dialect for anyone else either, i didn’t mention it. i love listening to nino speak and certainly meant no disrespect to his beautiful language!
@@epiphanyjin3516 As an original Swiss, I can tell you that you did nothing wrong. The official language is German (Swiss Standard German). However, we Swiss speak Swiss German among ourselves, which is a dialect family of Alemannic. These dialects are often hard to understand by standard speakers, but do NOT form a language of their own. As Swiss German is NOT a language of its own only a summary of German dialects which are very different from Standard German, this will confirm any linguist.
@@epiphanyjin3516 No you’re right. Swiss German is just a dialect of German, so Nino was obviously still speaking German. There is no “Swiss” language although they speak French as well in different regions
that’s on me, i have been told that he’s speaking Swiss German which is so different it could be* considered to be another language! so don’t be discouraged 😌 viel Glück! edit: i have now been told too many times it is and then that it isn’t its own language that i will no longer be commenting on this 😌
@@lilwayne3210 he Said IT COULD be considered like it’s own language aka that it’s a bit difficult for standard german speakers. Which is true since it’s a heavy and different dialect
He is telling the reporter about his mother and how good she cooks and how nice it is to come back home sometime because since he was 16 years old he mainly lived in America.
It is - in pronunciation - quite far from German to me, though words might be the same. I speak German pretty well, but I do not get a word at all when people speaks Schweizerdeutsch
There is no "normal" German. It's different dialects all over the German speaking areas. I grant you though, that for most German speakers Swiss German (which in itself consists of a various dialects) harder to understand.
@@rudde7918We're getting rather specific here. High German has two meanings: when referenced to writing it relates to the spelling and vocabulary of the German language. There three kinds of High German in this definition: Federal German, Austrian and Swiss High German. When referenced to speaking High German: High German is spoken south of the "Benrath line", which roughly runs through Posen, Berlin, Magdeburg, Kassel, Cologne and Aachen. So, the Swiss dialects are part of the High German group, which shows the big variety of how German is spoken in these region below the Beneath line. I think I'd be more accurate to cut down further a level where the spoken High German is roughly divided into East and West Central German, East and West Frankonian, Allemannic (that's where the Swiss dialects are located) and Bavarian. So to summise and give an opinion: German dialects have a large variety, whereas some dialects are "closer" to the written language than others. I'd say that no German speaker actually speaks the language as strictly as it is written (and in comparison to English, it is rather easy to pronounce German word correctly when reading them). PS: Well, this answer got out of hand a little bit.
Still, there aren't really any French Candadians on the team. Not sure if Ethan Bear speaks an Indigenous language, but if he does, there is one north-american non-native English speaker on the team.
indeed! i wrote him down as from Oulu due to his dialect; i also think he considers himself to be more from Oulu than from Rauma, but you're right, it might have still been better to mention this nuance too. i'll add it to description and keep it in mind for future references. thanks for your addition!
after the 8th take on ”is russia in europe?” and 6th ”swiss german is/isn’t/could(n’t)be german” i realized i just can’t make everyone happy 😂😂 but i mean language is an important part of identity and i understand people want to see it represented! i appreciate learning too, just didn’t expect this simple video to raise so much discussion 😌 thanks for watching, i’m glad you enjoyed!
woop. tried to fix a problem and made another one. the video was originally titled ”european canes” but i got so many conflicting opinions on whether russia is or isn’t in europe i changed the title to non-north american. i’ll have to think about it again, i certainly didn’t mean to disrespect or exclude anyone. i don’t know what he considers his nationality to be but you’re right, from my understanding he speaks Cree too.
As a monolingual English speaker from America, you could tell me each player was speaking the same language and I’d believe you. Literally all sounds the same to me.
It literally is. 1/3 of it is on the west of the ural mountains, like 90% of its population lives on the european side, russia is culturally closer to europe than asia and its capital moscow is clearly located in europe. The only thing that makes russia asian is siberia, a place filled with a whole a lot of nothing. Saying that russia is asian is the same as saying that egypt is asian or france is south american.
It really is. Russia is in Europe and Asia, it considers itself European, competes in European competition and has historically seen itself as European.

this is precious as hell
No need to say that because of these fine finns Hurricanes has become one of my favorite team in the league. Maybe in finals this year?
When you're a finn, been made to study swedish for like eight years and can't understand shit when it's a native speaking-
asdf no tää
Oulu hurricanes.
Should get #25 BEAR to speak the beautiful CREE language. 🇨🇦
Hearing Freddy speak danish was awesome, sounded a lot like German to me
both countries are neighbors and are connected by the Schleswig region so it makes sense
It sounded more German than whatever came out of Niederreiter's throat :D
@@gwaptiva Spot on!
And I speak German, no Danish :D
@@gwaptiva Niederreiter is Swiss, he was speaking Swiss German, which might as well almost be another language.
Funny thing, how the Swiss german sounds like dutch.
German and Dutch are both Germanic languages, having the same origins.
@@sweiland75 Of course they are, but my point was that the swiss german and dutch sound similar to each other, more so than to the niederdeutch.
@@Ah01 thats true indeed it sounds like Dutch
Whenever I've heard it, I thought it was Swedish because of the odd vocal inflections.

Well the title is "non-North Americans"

Do it for other teams
i wish to as soon as i have time!
NICE
Finnish is the most unique, similar to Hungarian for some reason...
Because thousands of years ago when original finns came from the urals some continued down south to estonia and hungary.
@@LeylaDerben Correct, and they are part of the finno-ugric language family
What kind of stupid does it take to think Russia isnt in Europe?
There’s a reason it’s considered Eastern & Western Europe. Do people really think that Russia is in Asia?
@@sereneprincess4940 Because it is in Asia. Its both a European and Asian country, like Turkey.
Most of the land is in Asia but the culture is mostly European and 77% live in the European side
Lets be real we all know the most important parts of Russia are in the Europe area
She is beautiful!
why no Svech, he is european as well lol
svech is 0:36-> ! i don’t know why his part isn’t set apart in the progression bar, i’ll fix it asap 😊 thanks for pointing it out!
did u even watch the video lmao
but he basically isn't european, he was born in the asian part of russia

I'm sure that's not really the case. I'm Swedish and I can easily distinguish Korean from Japanese for example, even though I don't speak either.

Russia isn't really Europe
Yes it is.
how come? a big chunk of russia is in europe?
Russia west of the Ural Mountains is part of Europe.
75% of Russians live in Europe.
Russia is both a European and Asian country but its widely considered more European due to population density is on the Europe side.
Russia is not part of europe tho
It is
It's part of both Europe and Asia
