@@KarolisKumžaKT Im samogitian too but i dont think the idea of an independant samogitia is that popular. samogitians do have great pride in thier language and culture, but independance isnt that popular of an idea.....yet.
@@teaman2779 Samogitia must at least be given some special status inside Lithuania or something like that because if not the government of Lithuania will keep discriminating Samogitian language, history and culture as they do now
If you look into the history of Samogitia, they're possibly the most badass people of all time. They were known to always, always fight to the bitter end... and quite probably take all of the enemy with them! I was really hoping to have some Samogitian ancestry when I sent my DNA off, but nope - all German. Oh well; still, cool history and cool language!
As a Latgalian I think in some cases it is very close, especially ''A muoki āngleškā'' is perfectly normal way how a Latgalian could ask ''A muoki angliskai''? Sounds almost the same. Or ''Ne'', Latgalians say it the same way ''Nā''. Or ''dieltuo'' in Latgalian ''deļ tuo'' But in other cases it is closer to Latvian, but yes, definitely closer than standard Lithuanian.
I grew up speaking both, standard lithuanian and zemaitiska.... My family was from Aukstaitija, but I grew up in Palanga. A bit of a shock for a little kid learning the street slang on the fly... but its a beautiful and expressive dialect...
Generally it sounds like Lithuanian. Seems like Samogitians didn't choose Curonian/Latvian pronunciation and went palatalization way. I noticed Samogitians have long "ā". Especially word "vārds" very reminds Latvian. Surprisingly how Samogitians says "lābrīt". In Latvian it's "labrīt". How did Samogitians get long "ā" there is a question.
as a dzūkas, i completely understand, but its no surpize because i understand all lithuanian sublanguages and almost understand prussian, and i can understand latvian at times
As a lithuanian this is embarrassing to admit but I didn't know that Žemaičių language was even considered a separate language. I thought that it was simply a different dialect, just like Dzūkų.
Samogitian has some more influences from russian in a everyday life and in general it's pretty "everyday'ish". I don't know if it is good or bad, I guess it just never propperly developed as Lithuanian did and is now considered a dialect, though I'd say this langueage/dialect border is a little blurry here. When I went to Kretingalė to celebrate the Midsummer solstice day, I heard some Samogitian and I couldn't understand a word, but in this video I understood everything, but with a little unclearness.
You are talkin complete nonsense. 1) Samogitian has no influences from Russian. It literally has less Russian influences than the standard Lithuanian. Samogitia is mostly the province of Lithuania, meaning people swear more, and Lithuanians in general almost always swear in either Russian or Polish because Lithuania does not have any swear words, and the curses we have sound lame. 2) Samogitian is technically older than Lithuanian. You have to understand there was never such thing as "Standard/Literary" Lithuanian historically. There was Samogitian, and then there was Aukshtaitian. Modern Day Standard Lithuanian came around in the beginning of the 20th century when it was Standardised by Jablonskis, who for some reason used the minority dialect of Suvalkian as the basis, even though MOST people at the time spoke Samogitian. 3) Samogitia is recognized as a language and has a language code "SGS". IT makes it a language, and Lithuania should finally recognize it. After all, it was Samogitians, again, with their historical stubborness, that saved the Lithuanian language from extinction when all the Aukshtaitians were Polonizing themselves.
As latvian if I try, I can find around 70% samogitian words in latvian language. So it means if I wriggly focus even, if i know just little of lithuanian i can catch idea of what is spoken even if I never heard samogitian. I think it would take around 1 month and I would speak pretty much fluently as latvian in samogitian. It is esier for usbas lithuanian language. I think it is because old samogitian tribe lived closer to latvian tribes as semigallians and curonians which both also merged in latvian and lithuanian nations later.

Do the similarities in pronunciation with Russian have to do more with Russian influence or perhaps due to the fact that the languages of the Balts and Slavs are closely related?
I think tree is smater then you 🤣... Language studies are based on history and DNA todays age... So if there was never Baltic there would be never existed language family's like Slavic or Germanic. Did you know that Baltic tribes came 11 000 years ago, and they where hunters and Gathers. People that resides in Lithuanian they look same as from 8000 - 5000 years ago.. check Genom of Lithuanian population you will see that its we who travel the Europe long before 11 000 years...

As a Latvian, for me this dialect literally sounds like a Lithuanian person would try to speak Latvian.
Samagotian is coolest dialect
Not too inaccurate to say so, i believe Samogitian is heavily influenced by Kurs language which was closer to Latvian as well
Occasionally switching to Latgalian :)
oh yea? no to latvis esi, tai aišku kad to galvuosi kad žemaitiu kalb yr tarp lietoviu ir latviu
Because it essentially is what you're saying
As a samogitian I aproove this video, most of the words are actually correct which surprise me, goodjob creators!
Same (give independence to Samogitia) :D

I'm Lithuanian, and my grandfather was samogitian, he spoke lithuanian all the time
My ancestry is hardly any Lithunanian, but I'm from Florida, and hearing _this_ language makes me want to speak Lithuanian.

Baltic languages are so beautiful sounding, but so difficult to learn as a non-native speaker.
As a Lithuanian I understand everything in Samogitian
Sounds like a mix between 30 % Latgalian, 60 % Lithuanian and 10 % Latvian.
P.S. Percentages may vary. :)
To me it sounds like a mixture of Slavic and Greek.

Terribly interesting.
I'm a Samotigian and we still have the weird ends when speaking Lithuanian like for example, Samotigian Saka while in Lithuanian it's Sako

The pitch accent seems a lot more prominent in this. I can barely hear it in standard Aukshtaitian Lithuanian most of the time.
sounds and intonation sound strangely similar to Hutsul/Bukovinan Ukrainian dialect

Some words are similar to words from Slavic languages
Some numbers so similar to Kurdish
"ė" pronouncing like French "e" and Albanian "ë", interesting
Tikrai ne atrskira kalba, nes aš viską suprantu:) Patinka man, kad Lietuva nors ir maža (sąlyginai), bet didelė savo kultūra.

it sounds like common slavic language at the times of Atilla...
Baltic languages are quite different from the other Indo European languages. I think they have to be another language family.
The celtic languages even more so.
I’ve found they quite similar to Sanskrit to me.
Grammatic is very close to Slavic

Как раз таки наоборот, Балтские языки очень консервативная индоевропейская группа, у них больше индоевропейского чем у кельтов и германцев уж точно.
This jist sounds like someone trying to speak lithuanian
