Honestly the complexity of the Tlingit language alone says a lot about how unique humans can be in all aspects--this doesn't sound like any other language I've heard, that's for sure.
Thank you for sharing this. Very interesting, I wish I understood the language, to be able to appreciate this more. Even with the closed captioning translating what it could, it is very fascinating. :)
I agree. Tlingit is a fascinating language, and I am trying to learn it from various online resources. I also want to learn other indigenous languages, such as Haida, Salish, Mohawk, Ojibwe, Sioux, Hopi, and Navaho.
@X̱ʼunei - are there Lingít transcripts available anywhere for new Lingít learners to follow along the written words as we listen to and are present with these recorded conversations? Either way, Gunalchéesh for your work, both in the everyday sense of helping organize and coordinate and facilitating recording sessions being edited and posted publicly… But also for your greater work in service to the flourishing of Lingít language, and - from my heart - thank you for making it available also to those not born to Tlingít Aani or any other native North American culture.
I have a question: Is it just the speakers or is it typical to speak so slowly in that language? Is it a matter of practicism or a matter of the fluency and state of mind of the speakers?
GrosBonAnge tlingit is a slow language, although I do not no much. I do know that when certain letters are dragged like (aa.) And (kaa) you would drag the a longer than usual. Announciation is important in tlingit because so many words share multiple meanings and spellings just by how you say them.

Oh and very beautiful language.
leave your saying out of this!!!
It is indeed a very powerful language, and more people should make the effort to learn it.
Sounds so cool!
Gunalcheesh!

@@omi691 Hi, may I ask where I can find these old recordings of Tlingit? I'm incredibly curious! Thank you :)
Sounds like Apache language dine
Theyʼre related languages, although ours (Lingít) is pretty different from the rest of the language family.
