I am a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male who is so attractive. I speak so many languages that it isn't even fathomable by the average monolingual beta. If you are a monolingual beta, you should be looking forward to my book.
This is the most forbidden polyglot challenge ever.
Can you find the hidden amongus imposter in this video?
Join my Discord so that we can all combine our Sentinelese resources and collaborate to learn this language!

Hey vladdy daddy 😏
You said a full swear word
Dead languages: hard to learn because they are dead. Sentinelese: hard to learn because now you are dead.

@@theducknamednewepicla9507 yeah cuz you listen to it want it or not.
Speaking to natives in this language will result in ME being evaporated out of existance
Yeah, but think of the views! And the ad revenue!
You must be a native then. How’d you get a phone?
by learning this, not only will you shock the locals, but also shock your own locals
the arrows will also even put your heart into a state of shock
😂 literally 😂

So THAT'S it!

Well done my monolingual friend 👏 greetings from a Spaniard
As a Russian native speaker and (still) monolingual beta who's learning English and has only B1 level, I can't take this challenge cuz it's too challenging and practically impossible to do. I'm glad that you decided to accept this challenge though, my fellow language-learning comrade. 🙌
Yes! We need a special council of linguists consisting of Obama, Ikena, that Richard guy, Steve Kaufman, and Language Simp! Imagine what they could achieve!

They speak Uralic language. Dutch sailor Steven van Seagal recorded in 17th century two words of it, when they were trying to kill him: "Koka kola". van Seagal was saved by his black belt level aikido skills and home in Amsterdam he studied all languages in the world. He decided that it sounds Finnic enough, and beated everybody who didn't accept it.
I would like to disagree, but my arm still hurts
@@Ramondenner1991 Yes, van Seagal had breaking news also for the polyglots, who were bragging on the market places and surprising the local people by speaking particular dialect of their language or at least being able to say hello. When van Seagal asked them using his famous hand gestures, many of them admitted being monoglots, who just happen to speak 30+ languages.
How do you know they didn’t mean something else.You cannot say what language they speak by two words.
@Äylz Do you believe that describing van Seagal with correct grammar would make any difference? If he says gooses, they fly.
it is a coca colian propagandan agenda?????
I love going to North Sentinel Island, they are really good teachers. Also, whenever I speak their language, they get so shocked; they shoot celebratory arrows and throw spears because they are so surprised.
The Duolingo thing is a good idea. Here's another one to try:
1. Learn astral projection.
2. Project to Sentinel Island.
3. Do this repeatedly until you've picked up the language.
4. Go to island in a hazmat suit and plate armor.
5. Use your language powers to set yourself up as a god-king.
You mean the Thai hellecopter duolingo idea
@@pvzgamerlegisniana6492Yes, why not?
That would be really tough for many reasons. For example: Often, when one leaves his body, he goes to another vibrational plane, so things aren't exactly as they are in this physical plane. Also, getting to the island consistently would not be easy either. Not to mention how recollection of out-of-body experience is often murky, depending on the degree of lucidity of the projector. I think a much more effective idea would be to send drones equipped with cameras and microphones that can position themselves advantageously on top of trees and send the collected data in real time. With multiple of those spread throughout the island over an extended period of time, I think it might be possible to gather information not just about their language, but also about how the sentilese live.
Then,(though this is a little far-fetched) if we could somehow contrive a machine that could generate a hologram resembling the kind they have in star wars for communication, we could go to the island, having learned the language, now being totally impervious to their arrows and not being a health hazard for them; this way, we could try to teach them some aspects of civilization, as in the indigenous legend of Sumé, from Brazil, whom the catholics believe to have been St. Thomas.
Fun fact: one of the few times the Sentinelese were friendly to outsiders was when they brought a woman along with the crew to the island
We should try to send a femboy
@@Ramondenner1991 real
Sentinelese? More like Simpenelese
@@pg-jr8sy I'd imagine it's just how other human cultures are/were. Women didn't usually go out and fight; they generally were the ones taking care of the children, so I'd imagine they saw a woman on board as a sign of peace

Hey, we actually already know a little bit about the Sentinelese language. "nariyali jaba jaba" means "more coconuts" (literally, "coconuts more more"). I'm sure we can simply derive the rest based on this information.
While the other half of the linguists believe it means "no coconuts! Woman woman [i.e. women].
I like how the word for coconut is the same as in Hindi. Probably a loneword.
@@leonhardeuler7647 As the expedition was Indian, there is nothing strange if for making themselves understandable they used a word they just heard being used for coconuts.

Hii
and so is he am I right
I really do think you could very well drop microphones disguised as rocks to record their language. The recordings could be sent wirelessly to a nearby vessel, or through satellite.
@@Salmanul_
It would be very difficult. I'm no linguist, but we could start with observing patterns in their speech or something. Look for something to grasp, and then work from there. It's extremely hard work.
The movie Arrival tackles the issue of translating something completely and (in this movie's case) literally alien, and does so in a semi-realistic way.
The difference is the alien language was only in written form. The Sentinelese language would only be in spoken form.
There's also the case that Sentinelese could be a sister language from a nearby culture, and not a completely isolated language. That'd make the job easier.
@@_P2M_ but in arrival you can interact with each other, in this case we cannot, even with writting we had already know what that meant but there's? we dont know
@@_P2M_ something that can help is just SVO or other system and grammar, even languages with same history that was separated not that long time ago has different vocabulary... look for germanic languages, these are totally different in many cases. Even slovian's ones is different though they are one language 900-1200 years ago (most of slovian languages)
isolation just means not stoling vocabulary but creating by their own, it just what can make it easier
but if they was isolated many many years ago, that could be problem with not them but us, our changes in our language not their
to sum this up, if it was at least indioeuroperian we can try to solve grammar but if not, good luck ;), that could be hard like sha or another encrypting system.
Not it's not that easy like was in arrival, yes we can analyze, but we have to have many examples, many and at least know probably meaning of majority of these examples (that's why main character was trying to get a basic phrases at beggining).
we don't know even if they counting the time in the same way (theres really exist languages that don't), we don't know if they have the same idea of verbs
this is the most isolated language that existed in history, the second one was japan for the most history and look Japan still even can be truly qualificated to the same group as neighbors, we dont know any language that is similiar to japan etc. and look again japan was isolated just for short time defacto and not 100% and grammar of this language is one of the most extraordinary in the world (they defacto dont have Verbs that works in the same way etc.), so what could happen to that tribe? many
there's i can bet no chance that we have something shared. So it will be just encrypting even worse than enigma, even worse many times
For any problems on translating the languages without 2 way communication is to see if there are any other languages that are related to it. I seen another comment saying some woman interacted with them using the nearby tribal languages and it seemed to do well (their source was National Geographic, I haven't checked up on it tho).
I think it could also work if we get a bunch of crates and fill them with clothes, pictures, some tools and instructions. Obviously not a phone, but something that'd be pretty nifty and actually useful for them to use such as the wheel or a fishing rod, flute, drums, guitar (just to hear them jam out on the microphones). Make it clear we're trying to communicate while keeping our distance.
After we learn more of their language we could send more crates out but this time we'll develop a script. We'll get some materials that they also have and write on them how they're spoken, this may be a complete failure but still possible if we make the picture instructions clear enough.
@@fonkedonke
I read on Wikipedia that someone from a nearby indigenous culture that's related to the Sentinelese was sent there and reportedly they couldn't understand a single word, meaning the languages had drifted to the point of being mutually unintelligible.
That doesn't say much, though. French and Spanish are mutually unintelligible, even though they're both part of the Romance language family. However, it takes relatively low effort for one to learn the other's language, or at least make some basic sense of it.
I find it difficult to believe Sentinelese could've drifted so far that it would be like an English speaker learning something like Arabic or Chinese.
My bet is that the Sentinelese language sounds like JavaScript
But what version? I think plsdontkillme only appears as a reserved keyword in ES 2026.
They evolved to React.Js
As they are isolated for such long time, I would expect similarity rather to TECO than to any other language.
dear god
This challenge is insane, mate.
I saw a documentary on this tribe, that they also incorporated animal sounds. This is truly next level so one further obstacle is learning an animal language.
American White Pelicanese
what do you mean by animal sounds? onomatopoeias? or just sounds not common in western phonologies?
@@swank8508 you have to learn how to speak to animals
@@swank8508 become bird
honestly the microphone idea, and the whole concept of learning their language and speak to them in it, is actually pretty smart and could lead to them accepting strangers.
except when one of them finds a microphone and thinks it's some weapon from god meant to destroy them
@@WeebJailin this case just send some sterile drone machine like Nasa did in Mars (and let the drone live with them…they will stay away first and try to destroy it but in the end they will deal with it). And it will be a good exercice for our AI model to try to make with this machine a first contact (instead of the traditional make a baby with one native)
The only issue is ethics because that’s what most societies consider a breach of basic privacy
Someone suggested making a giant drone show at night in the shape of a human face speaking. It would be very unethical but kind of crazy to think how you could appear as a god just from technological advance.
Anyway besides aliens the next best thing would be dolphins. Or releasing great apes that know sign language in the wild and convince them to teach it to others.
@@WeebJail what if they don't believe in god

There are islands close to Sentinel island which are open for tourism, and there are indigenous people there who speak Andamanese languages, after the Andaman islands . The language of the Sentinelese people might be related , but we can't be certain about this .

Language Simp should open a store.
On a serious note simp-san, you should do some travel vlogs or discussing with X (french, chinese, etc) locals type of videos.
I like the microphone idea but we would also need cameras to see what they are explaining. That would fasten things up
Honestly, there are definitely some underrated DLCs
I've been exploring the Tay Nguyen DLC, basically nobody cares about the DLC outside of Indochina, so it is definitely worth playing
It is also much safer than playing the Amazonia or New Guinea DLCs

Mad respect for calling yourself out.
I think I'm in love with your gigachad humour... Man, so sharp but still funny
The time when the Sentinelese were friendly with outsiders was when a guy started shouting words like "come closer " in the Jarawa language and it seemed that they repeated some other similar words in Jarawa as the two tribes are close to each other. So I think its obvious to say that its in the same language family as Andamanese, Onge and Jarawa.
But how far has it diverged since there has been no contact between the tribes on other nearby iskands for a long time
Urdu is a great language
Damn that "arrivederci" pronunciation was better than mine, and I'm Italian.
Perhaps one day they will be friends with others just like Jarawa tribe (a tribe from another Andaman island) who (obviously) look alike the Sentinelese tribe and also have linguistic similarities.
[Unfortunately however the Jarawa tribe suffered an outbreaks of measles (around 2000s if I remember correctly) following their contacts with outsiders]
I‘m waiting for a Language Simp and Steve Kaufmann collab!
Sentinelese is closely related to angolan portuguese according to what i just made up
Yeah, and 4,20% of the vocabulary comes from Uruguayan Portuguese According to other thing I just made up
More to Konkani Portuguese
Damnit, I'm only an alpha bilingual monkey.
One day I will become a hyperpolyglot gigachad
If one could secure whatever eavesdropping permits required you could use a sound gun outside the protected perimeter. Provided you can find one that works over 5 miles away.
Лангуаге Симп,я хочу спросить, какая буква лучше, айн или УЙ (Ы)
There was actually one time that outsiders contacted them, it's on youtube. The sentinelese seem to understand the word 'daga', which is 'coconut'. So, I guess we know one word in that language.
I think you're refering to that one Australian guy. He actually went to Vanuatu, not North Sentinel.
As a brazilian, I have to say that there are still some tribes in the amazon that are uncontacted to the outside world, but they may have encounters with other civilized tribes that we then can contact to.
And about your encounter with the unsurprised Brazilian, I'd guess that either you spoke a pretty good Portuguese so he wasn't impressed thinking that it was your first language, or he may have encountered a lot of other foreigners before.
This is a good way to kill competition... I love this video
The disease issue had not occurred to me. If I sneezed, within a close enough range of a native, before succumbing to all the arrows, I might get ultimate revenge for them killing me.

Maybe this language hasn't change since thousands of years because of isolation. It's probably the last member of an extinct language family. I'm sure it sounds like a mix between swahili and hindi
Hindi is Indo-European language, there's no way it'll be any closer to Hindi, that being said English might be closer to Hindi compared to this language.

Given the fact such tribe lives in a tiny isolated island, I'd expect the language to be extremely poor when it comes to vocabulary...or literally be extremely irrationally complicated with at least 100 ways to call the same object and 30 ways to conjugate the same verb.
1:24 Proud to be in this video.
In talks with a guy with a boat…
Here's the plan:
- getting around the coast guard is easy... because they just guard... (you know) THE COAST!
- so we go underwater! this way we dodge all of the their ships and blockade completely unnoticed!!
- dodging arrows and spears! yes, that's obviously a problem BUT there is a solution for this too (other than hard armor!)
- we go AT NIGHT! we surface on the island at pitch black cloudy starless night!! provides cover, provides time to setup camp and unless the native have somehow evolved to exist without sleep it also provides stealth to explore the island unnoticed!
- once we setup a good fortified location impenetrable to arrows and stones we can then further attempt contact with the natives
- as for the diseases problem, we also go for detailed medical examination and vaccination before the trip to make sure we're not carrying any dangerous type of viruses within our bodies and of course (be careful to avoid kissing or coughing at the natives)
-- that's all! now, we are free to communicate and socialize to our hearts content! and be proclaimed the first hyperpolyglot gigachad to ever conquer this milestone!
Surely, this will work out as planned, right?
R…right?
Я смотрю все твои видео с субтитрами, и мне не стыдно
I thought the warning to obey all Indian laws was just a joke, but it turned out to be a real warning considering the subject
It’s probably similar to Māori or Niuean. There has been 2 known guys to go to the island and come out alive and their name was some random British imperialist who tried to colonise the place. And if the Japanese where anything like how they where in Nanking no wonder they don’t like foreigners
Let’s goooo! Респект тебе брачо
Talks about not breaking Indian laws. Talks about new DLC.
