17:52 this is what the guy actually said in spanish. he didn't repeat anything, he's just a youtuber "building up" the reveal of where they're at. he's talking around the subject, but not for a linguistic reason, but because it's a youtube video.... "if you can recognize that church behind us, you'll know exactly where we are. In this place, that has been documented as one of the most beautiful places in the world, one of the most visited tourist attractions in our country. and why are we here..."

15:17 basque is completely different, even from any other known language in the world. Catalan is closely related to Spanish, but there's no debate, it's a separate language, just as Galician.
The guy is explaining that the speed of a language is based on syllables per second but they don’t agree because it doesn’t “feel” that fast. I guess they’re measuring speed based on vibes 😂
Well there are other considerations. If a language has long words and you use 3 words with 15 syllables vs another language that uses 3 words with 5 syllables to say the same thing, would you say that the 1st example is faster if they take the same time to say it?
Nor. Also the number of information on one syllable is something to consider. Portuguese for example, despite being fast, most of the words are longer with a unique information, and also with great sense of rythm (compared to english words). And don't forget the accents from each regions. Portugal and São Paulo (Brazil) accents are really faster than any others portuguese accents. Last thing it is about the subjective topic. It's pretty common to pick a "vibe" while listening other language. It's normal and perfectly human. After all we're not machines. Studies helps a lot to guide our journey through knowledege, but don't forget we use common sense in our everyday lives. Sorry for the bad English.
Well because this model is quite primitive and is not real, if you know what I mean. You can consider measuring it based on information density or rate of information transfer which make more sense to the human brain. The results will astonish you.
Cantonese has 6 tones, Mandarin has 4. Vietnamese has 6 tones too but packs more information into each syllable on average compared to Mandarin because it isn't as homophone filled. Basque is NOT a dialect.
BASQUE is not a dialect of Spanish. It's Europe's most unique language! It has its sources so far and so deep in history that it almost reaches Neanderthals!! An absolute gem!
I'm really surprised that the spanish example were a mexican, i consider that we mexicans speak really average in comparison to caribbean an chilean spanish
Spanish for me, especially the Latin Spanish, are the ones who speak faster compared to others, i know spanish and yet some sounds are pretty hard to catch
Depends on the country and region. I find on average Mexicans, Guatemalans, Colombians, Ecuadorians, Peruvians, Bolivians rather slow to moderately paced. Those from Chile and the Caribbean, especially the Antilles (Cuba, DR, and PR) much faster. Those from Southern Spain, especially from Andalusia also speak very fast and choppy like Caribbean people.
There are several hundred Sinitic languages in China, Mandarin Pekinese and Cantonese are very diverse Sinitic languages, the difference is liked between Bulgarian and Lithuanian. So comparing Mandarin and Cantonese to two different Portuguese dialects is not correct. Polyglots should know that.
@@alexe1146 I expected at least one of the slavic languages. When I heard my friends argue in prague it almost sounded as fast as spanish to me. (Also would be interesting to see the slowest languages, wouldn't surprise me if swedish was one of them, especially northern dialects, where they speak slowly but also shorten the words so the end result is the same lol)
@fredrikjosefsson3373 When it comes to Czech, only Silesian dialect of Czech can race with Polish. Because Standard Czech (and especially Praguean Czech) use long vowels, which slow down the rate of speech 😄
@@Robertoslaw.Iksinski Yeah, Czech is another level. This Czech sentence has *0* vowels :) *Škrt plch z mlh Brd pln skvrn z mrv prv hrd scvrnkl z brzd skrz trs chrp v krs vrb mls mrch srn čtvrthrst zrn*
18:52 they misunderstood "syllables per second"... it's only about how many syllables (think combinations of usually 2-3 letters) you say in one second, not how much meaning you communicate. which is what they just criticized about Spanish 20 seconds earlier......

Of the 4 main methods of learning _any_ language (reading, writing, listening, speaking), aside from one’s mother tongue (listening + speaking), IME, listening is the most difficult. Reading and writing is by far the easiest for me in terms of making strong progress, and listening and speaking I tend to find most difficult, or the last things to fall into place. For example, I can speak English (mother-tongue), French, Spanish and Italian fluently. I’ve recently started Portuguese and am having no real difficulty reading and writing it, but whenever I hear it spoken at normal conversational speed, I struggle. This was the same with French, Spanish and Italian. The listening part was always the last to fall into place. Why? Probably because it was out of my control in terms of speed. With reading something you can stop, go back, then start again. With listening, everything seems to come at you like a tsunami you have zero control over. Of course, accents need to be factored in here, too. Here’s the good news, however: those speakers of the target language you once heard speaking at 100mph gradually slow down. Of course, they don’t really slow down; they just appear to. What’s _really_ happening is that as your listening skills develop they _appear_ to slow down as understanding increases. There eventually comes a day that no matter how quick the native speaker, you get it, and you get it all! Moral of story? Persevere. 👍
I wonder where the Austronesian languages like Malay, Tagalog, and Indonesian rank. They have influences from Spanish, Portuguese, English, Hindi, Arabic, and others
Um, in the Hindi section of the video, the first clip is not Hindi. That’s Marathi, it’s the language I speak! Marathi and Hindi are similar seeing as they both derive from Sanskrit, but they are not the same.
How many syllables are in this sentence? *Škrt plch z mlh Brd pln skvrn z mrv prv hrd scvrnkl z brzd skrz trs chrp v krs vrb mls mrch srn čtvrthrst zrn* Does it mean that Czechs speak slowly? :)
Japanese is easy to pronounce and requires many sounds to convey one thing, but many people speak slowly, on the other hand English and Polish are difficult to pronounce and many people speak quickly. This is probably due to differences in the personalities of the people. For better or worse, Japanese people care a lot about politeness. In my personal opinion, I don't want Polish speakers to use ambiguous vowels because they are hard to hear and don't sound nice.😂
Some people or families are like that but not everybody tbh 😅 it's a bit of a generalization. But people do interrupt each other a lot and it becomes frustrating for me at least
@@lvnavity5274 Frankly, this is the first time I've heard of such a culture of the Turkish people. I don't encounter anything like this in my daily life
With Basque being more unique. Because Catalan while being a language of it's own seems to be between Italian, French and Castilian among the Romance languages. But Basque?
18:33 what lisp is she even talking about? Even for the ignorant people who think correctly pronouncing ci/ce/z with a theta sound is a lisp (it's not), or who think that Spaniards pronounce the S with a theta sound (they don't), Madrid doesn't even a ci/ce/z/s in it, so what is she talking about?
I am moroccan and french it's not that fast I am 14 and I understood all what he was saying msybe because we learn french in morocck from 4 years old or dometimes 7 years old
Just pointing out that the language at 08:12 is not Hindi, it's Marathi. They are similar sounding to anyone who doesn't speak either of these languages, but are distinct languages.
Sayin "its a cultural thing" was one of the most dumb things ive heard. Its not about culture its about peoples character. If u see 4 turkish friend talking on top of each other that means they are not well educated, it doesnt mean thats the culture. I agree with the "everyone has something to say" part tho. Such a cool video
@@lissandrafreljord7913 In terms of "Serbians: Who?" what are you talking about? We Serbians know exactly who the Macedonians are and we can recognize and fairly understand their language, although we don't speak it. Unless you meant something else and I misunderstood you.
What's the point of measuring it in syllables, when it's the words that bring meaning in most of the languages? Say, it could be an 8-syllable word in one language and exactly the same word in other language but in 3 syllables.
Two things I would like to comment on: 1- For those who speak Portuguese, such as us Brazilians, the Portuguese and some Africans, Spanish, even when spoken very quickly, is relatively easy to understand. 2 - For us Portuguese speakers It is very difficult to differentiate accents in Spanish, they all seem exactly the same. Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal are easy to distinguish, even for people who speak languages that are not romantics, they say it sounds like two different languages when they hear it.
@YU-mv3ku So the other participants don't know anything, the Serbian girl is the only one who knows and therefore everything she says must be taken as the truth, is that what you mean?
15:16 Basque is not a dialect; It's a completely unique & different language from all neighbouring languages.
But the Brazilian girls says is a spaniard dialect? Now I have doubts. Poor Arana must be sad, remember españolistas, según Batasunas.
