Есть также слова, которые без всякой видимой причины имеют пол. Он может выглядеть и звучать хорошо, но под всеми этими красивыми украшениями и звуками, на мой взгляд, скрывается катастрофический язык.

What a satisfying orgy for my ears... Gosh... Like, I literally downloader it to listen to it while either jogging or driving. As half Russian and half Greek I understood 100% of both, even though in Russian there were words/phrases that are either too formal or just uknown to me. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish so I understood everything and then comes French which I understood it pretty well as my level is C1. Then we have italian, on which I have never taken any official exam, but I'm learning it on my own and I understood the point more or less. Finally, I understood some Ukranian, which I didn't expect, some Portuguese, even though I'm sure that if it was the Brazilian Portuguese I'd have understood way more and some Polish which I'm not quite certain as to what I think I understood. Europe is definitely rich and the fact that so many languages are spoken in a relatively small territory is dope. Greetings and much love to everyone whom with I happen to share this wonderful continent!!
Comme un anglais j'ai pu bien comprendre l'anglais, et aussi 100% du francais, car je l'etudie au bahut. Les autres langues romances etaient plutot facile a comprendre, mais je n'en ai pas tout compris. J'etais surpris par a quel point j'ai compris le russe, et ceci est car bien que je l'apprenne, mon niveau de russe est fort pire que mon niveau en francais. Les langues germaniques n'etaient pas dures a comprendre aussi (l'allemand et le neerlandais etaient les langues germaniques les plus faciles). Dans le cas du polonais, c'etait incomprehensible.
I think European Spanish language is easier than Latin Spanish language, for understanding. And, British English language, more polite than American English language, due to there aren't slangs too much.
For those who don't know, the same language is spoken in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. While those countries were part of Yugoslavia, that language was called Serbo-Croatian. Today there are four languages, but linguistically it is one and the same language. Let the nationalists do their thing, science has said that it is one language spoken by over 15 million people who are southern Slavs in the Balkans. The word "Yugoslavia" in that language means the land of the southern Slavs. In that language "Yug" means south. 
J'adore toutes ces langues, si variées et musicales. Je comprend, parle, lis et écris le français (ma langue), l'allemand et l'anglais, bien, d'après les gens du pays, et moyennement l'espagnol, que j'ai appris à un âge avancé. J'avais commencé à apprendre l'italien, dont la sonorité me plaît beaucoup, mais j'ai dû annuler mon voyage en Italie. Ce n'est que partie remise, j'espère. Bravo pour cette vidéo très intéressante, qui donne envie de découvrir toutes ces cultures européennes.
I'm American and I guessed all 16 almost in order so I guess all Americans aren't geographically illiterate. Having lived in Europe for a few years and speaking four European languages fluently probably helped.
Wow, something that you consider an achievement for Europeans is a common knowledge. Also knowing 4+ languages for Europeans is quite common and they rarely brag about it since many know even more than that.
@@BurbonUFA Not true. In Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy many people only speak one or two languages because they don't ever have to leave their country for better opportunities. Maybe if you are born in a small country like Luxembourg, Belgium or Czechia or something you have to learn the language of your neighbouring countries
@@bananenmusli2769 So you didn't quite hit the Czech Republic :) Our neighbors are Slovaks to the east (100% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed), Poland to the northeast (90% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed). Northwest, West and South is German language (Germany and Austria). And there, (With the exception of big cities) no one will talk to you in English. German only, English very reluctantly.
Dutch sounds like English but someone took all our words and scrambled the letters I can strain my ears and feel like I'm supposed to understand it but it just won't click
Yes swedish is 11 million becuase of in Finland swedish is the second Language and many have it for native language. And in Norway many swedes work, because Norwegian can understand Swedish, but not danish.
It's not about popularity, it's about number of native speakers. German is spoken as a native language not only in Germany, but also in Austria and Switzerland.
Population of U.K. 67M, population of Ireland 5M. That's 72M native English speakers not counting the native English speakers abroad like in Gibraltar etc. Please don't think this is a researched fact based video, because it's obviously not.
@@ejones8360 Virtually everyone in Ireland does. Although Welsh is still used in Wales, all Welsh speakers are bilingual to the extent that they are classed as native English speakers. When I was a boy, there were Welsh people who struggled to speak English, but those days are long gone.
@@thebamfordman who classes them as native English speakers? because I definitely wouldn’t class myself as a native English speaker nor would the majority of people I know. And I honestly ‘struggle’/find it very uncomfortable speaking English because it’s something I rarely do, so wouldn’t really say ‘those days are long gone’
Самые красивые языки - итальянский и испанский, на итальянском надо петь, испанский диктор говорил так горячо, что казалось, хотел отодвинуть циклоны от Испании!
Если вы скажете, то испанский язык звучит более напористо и всегда к месту (но и по-гречески тоже), чем итальянский, особенно в исполнении взрослых. Если я послушаю итальянский, то он звучит так, как будто официант-гей упал с парадной лестницы и злится на всех.
This confirms then that Italian is the most spoken language in Europe? They have 65 million native Italian speakers. And it is well known that native Italians speak double as much as anybody else? 🤷😊
And therefore? Indeed, also Finnish, Estonian, Maltese (even if Maltese lexical stock is 50% Italian) and some other internal minority (like the Basques, the Gagausians, the Sami...) speak a non-indoeuropean language. And therefore? Moreover, what does it mean "young languages"? All modern languages are modern forms of continuation (with modification, day by day, throughout the centuries) of very ancient languages. So, each language has a full right to claim its origins in deep pre-history. For instance: Italian. Spanish, French and all the other Romance languages and dialects are different ways and forms of continuation of ancient Latin (being therefore still spoken today, never dead, even if modified and split into many modern "Latins"). But Latin was one of the ancient forms of continuation of an unwritten pre-historical language (reconstructed by indo-european linguistical scholars) now named "common proto-Italic" by the scolarly community (not the only language spoken in pre-Roman Italy, however). But also "Common Proto-Italic" was only one among the forms of continuation of "Common Proto-Indo-European"... so, we have arrived to millenia before Christ.. and so on, back in mankind's path upon this earth... And that's something like that for ALL languages... So, "young" languages do not really exist. The only recent fact may be, for some language, the official use by some (relatively new) State, but not the very existence of the spoken language.
@@benyovszkyistvan408 It doesn't matter, if we don't even agree on basic things. What I wrote HAS to do with "sciences" (not in the sense of experimental laboratory tests, of course: better saying "researches" or "knowledge") like linguistics or glottology. And this, regardless of consent. We are not organizing a referendum. Moreover, besides this few glottological issues I wrote about (which are quite "innocent" - nothing generally considered controversial, in my opinion - and obvious to any young student after the first 6 months of university), I don't manage to undestand which are the other "basic things" we don't agree about. Had we talked about politics, or philosophy, or religion, or the problems of human life? No, indeed. And therefore? Is the concept that every language (except artificial languages like Esperanto, of course) and every dialect has its roots in a remote pre-history and in transformation throughout the centuries so much a revolutionary concept? So astonishing to you?
I don't think you distinguish between languages spoken 10,000 or 30,000 years ago and languages 2,000-3,000 years old. There are very big differences in voice training, vocabulary, expressiveness, creativity and more. How would the Latin, Slavic, Germanic languages be on the same level as the Dravidian languages? I do not understand you!
@@grantottero4974 According to linguists, the Italian language knows and uses about 30 or 40 verbs that indicate a change of location. Is that a lot? For other languages, this number is much lower. In Hungarian, this number is many thousands! Yes, you read that right. Many thousands. These are all Hungarian words, not foreign words taken from another language! Many may think that this is incredible and doubt it. Linguists are aware of the facts.
Your figure for English speakers is an underestimate. It does not appear to include the Republic of Ireland, whose population overwhelmingly speak English.
63 million isn't a figure for English speakers, so it doesn't include those who speak it as a second or third language. It's the figure for the native speakers of English, including a majority of the Republic of Ireland's population.

I feel like there’s a correlation between the strength of a language and the strength of the people who speak it. I’m really trying to feel if it’s a matter of bias or not, but when I hear English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish I hear languages so distinct and potent. It then seems awfully coincidental that these are the languages of legendary modern empires.
hahaha english speakers *sip my cup of coffee* Spanish, for example, is a fast language, but to everyone who only speaks one language, or is learning new languages or listens to them, they always seem fast, it happens to me with English, which I know is not a fast language, but when i listen to their speakers for me, they are eminem.

Bien sûr, j'aime beaucoup la musique hongroise, en particulier celle du compositeur Béla Bartók, qui a sublimé la musique traditionnelle de son pays (les six quatuors à cordes, la musique pour cordes, percussion et célesta, le concerto pour violon n°2...), un immense musicien, ainsi que Zoltán Kodály. J'ai également assisté à un spectacle de danses folkloriques hongroises il y a une vingtaine d'année à Palavas-les-Flots sur les bords de la Méditerranée. J'en garde un souvenir extraordinaire. Vive la Hongrie!🥰
@@dumspirospero-s1l Thank U! Wow, im happy to hear it. Are u a singer or dancer or a guest were on that program? ? I love many French music too! :) Here a Hungarian folk music for those who like it. Greatings to everyone from Hungary! ❤❤❤

What a satisfying orgy for my ears... Gosh... Like, I literally downloader it to listen to it while either jogging or driving. As half Russian and half Greek I understood 100% of both, even though in Russian there were words/phrases that are either too formal or just uknown to me. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish so I understood everything and then comes French which I understood it pretty well as my level is C1. Then we have italian, on which I have never taken any official exam, but I'm learning it on my own and I understood the point more or less. Finally, I understood some Ukranian, which I didn't expect, some Portuguese, even though I'm sure that if it was the Brazilian Portuguese I'd have understood way more and some Polish which I'm not quite certain as to what I think I understood. Europe is definitely rich and the fact that so many languages are spoken in a relatively small territory is dope. Greetings and much love to everyone whom with I happen to share this wonderful continent!!
Comme un anglais j'ai pu bien comprendre l'anglais, et aussi 100% du francais, car je l'etudie au bahut. Les autres langues romances etaient plutot facile a comprendre, mais je n'en ai pas tout compris. J'etais surpris par a quel point j'ai compris le russe, et ceci est car bien que je l'apprenne, mon niveau de russe est fort pire que mon niveau en francais. Les langues germaniques n'etaient pas dures a comprendre aussi (l'allemand et le neerlandais etaient les langues germaniques les plus faciles). Dans le cas du polonais, c'etait incomprehensible.
I think European Spanish language is easier than Latin Spanish language, for understanding. And, British English language, more polite than American English language, due to there aren't slangs too much.
It depends. Mexico City Spanish is very easy for learners because it is spoken reasonably slow and all letters are pronounced
I really feel like learning Hungarian and Romanian now :P
Just Romania is fine thanks
Don't listen to him, hungarian is the best!
Just kidding, learn what you want:)
Just don't use romanian in Hungary if u don't want to get killed

Choosing the two rivals lmao.
English is nearer 70 million with 65 million in the UK and 4 million in Ireland.
I understood all of the English and French, and a bit of the German, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Dutch, Spanish and Italian.
For those who don't know, the same language is spoken in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. While those countries were part of Yugoslavia, that language was called Serbo-Croatian. Today there are four languages, but linguistically it is one and the same language. Let the nationalists do their thing, science has said that it is one language spoken by over 15 million people who are southern Slavs in the Balkans. The word "Yugoslavia" in that language means the land of the southern Slavs. In that language "Yug" means south.

The Greek and Czech forcasters were in a hurry or something?
idk about the Czechs, but we Greeks speak quickly lmao
That wasn't fast Czech :D ...but Greek sounds too fast.
The UK and Ireland have 73M people total. I very tiny miniority in those countries only speak a Celtic dialect. So English should be No. 2.
J'adore toutes ces langues, si variées et musicales. Je comprend, parle, lis et écris le français (ma langue), l'allemand et l'anglais, bien, d'après les gens du pays, et moyennement l'espagnol, que j'ai appris à un âge avancé. J'avais commencé à apprendre l'italien, dont la sonorité me plaît beaucoup, mais j'ai dû annuler mon voyage en Italie. Ce n'est que partie remise, j'espère. Bravo pour cette vidéo très intéressante, qui donne envie de découvrir toutes ces cultures européennes.

80%Dutch
Same for me as a Dutch person, English is easier and used alot more frequent.

All the latin based languages are beautiful.

El griego suena como el español.
technically Spanish sounds like Greek
I'm American and I guessed all 16 almost in order so I guess all Americans aren't geographically illiterate. Having lived in Europe for a few years and speaking four European languages fluently probably helped.
Wow, something that you consider an achievement for Europeans is a common knowledge. Also knowing 4+ languages for Europeans is quite common and they rarely brag about it since many know even more than that.
@@BurbonUFA Wow! You're a genius for sleuthing out the obvious. That was precisely my point.
@@BurbonUFA Not true. In Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy many people only speak one or two languages because they don't ever have to leave their country for better opportunities. Maybe if you are born in a small country like Luxembourg, Belgium or Czechia or something you have to learn the language of your neighbouring countries

So you didn't quite hit the Czech Republic :) Our neighbors are Slovaks to the east (100% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed), Poland to the northeast (90% intelligibility with Czech-English not needed). Northwest, West and South is German language (Germany and Austria). And there, (With the exception of big cities) no one will talk to you in English. German only, English very reluctantly.
Dutch sounds like English but someone took all our words and scrambled the letters
I can strain my ears and feel like I'm supposed to understand it but it just won't click

German is so popular? Woah, I didn't know that. I though English was more widespread
As a foreign language, yes, English is more widespread. But not as a native language. Hope I could help^^
@@fucktugal_.y._fucktalunya Yes
English language is In world , man. Not in Europe.
It's not about popularity, it's about number of native speakers. German is spoken as a native language not only in Germany, but also in Austria and Switzerland.

@@shimmel796 also not bad though
Population of U.K. 67M, population of Ireland 5M. That's 72M native English speakers not counting the native English speakers abroad like in Gibraltar etc. Please don't think this is a researched fact based video, because it's obviously not.
not everyone in the uk or ireland speak english as a native language though?
@@ejones8360 Virtually everyone in Ireland does. Although Welsh is still used in Wales, all Welsh speakers are bilingual to the extent that they are classed as native English speakers. When I was a boy, there were Welsh people who struggled to speak English, but those days are long gone.
@@thebamfordman who classes them as native English speakers? because I definitely wouldn’t class myself as a native English speaker nor would the majority of people I know. And I honestly ‘struggle’/find it very uncomfortable speaking English because it’s something I rarely do, so wouldn’t really say ‘those days are long gone’
@Mark Bamford In 2020, there was 9,5 million of non-UK-born, and 6,1 million of non-British. So it may be as low as UNDER 60 million.
Gibraltar is so useless if speaks English! 🙄
Самые красивые языки - итальянский и испанский, на итальянском надо петь, испанский диктор говорил так горячо, что казалось, хотел отодвинуть циклоны от Испании!
Если вы скажете, то испанский язык звучит более напористо и всегда к месту (но и по-гречески тоже), чем итальянский, особенно в исполнении взрослых.
Если я послушаю итальянский, то он звучит так, как будто официант-гей упал с парадной лестницы и злится на всех.
THEY ARE MENTIONING GERMANIC LANGUAGES, GERMANIC ORIGINS...

If I had to pick a language to learn based on the women, it would be German, French or Romanian. I wish I knew their names...
If I got the right one on Google, than her name is Christina Stipp (Germany)
The German woman is called Christa Orben (born Stipp)
Romanian girl is Viviana Sposub
This confirms then that Italian is the most spoken language in Europe?
They have 65 million native Italian speakers. And it is well known that native Italians speak double as much as anybody else? 🤷😊
👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
If you will talk about native then the numbers are wrong!
Hungarian and Turkish are the two NON-Indo-European languages. The rest are young Indo-European languages.
And therefore?
Indeed, also Finnish, Estonian, Maltese (even if Maltese lexical stock is 50% Italian) and some other internal minority (like the Basques, the Gagausians, the Sami...) speak a non-indoeuropean language.
And therefore?
Moreover, what does it mean "young languages"? All modern languages are modern forms of continuation (with modification, day by day, throughout the centuries) of very ancient languages. So, each language has a full right to claim its origins in deep pre-history.
For instance: Italian. Spanish, French and all the other Romance languages and dialects are different ways and forms of continuation of ancient Latin (being therefore still spoken today, never dead, even if modified and split into many modern "Latins"). But Latin was one of the ancient forms of continuation of an unwritten pre-historical language (reconstructed by indo-european linguistical scholars) now named "common proto-Italic" by the scolarly community (not the only language spoken in pre-Roman Italy, however).
But also "Common Proto-Italic" was only one among the forms of continuation of "Common Proto-Indo-European"... so, we have arrived to millenia before Christ.. and so on, back in mankind's path upon this earth...
And that's something like that for ALL languages...
So, "young" languages do not really exist.
The only recent fact may be, for some language, the official use by some (relatively new) State, but not the very existence of the spoken language.

We don't even agree on basic things. What you wrote has nothing to do with science.
@@benyovszkyistvan408 It doesn't matter, if we don't even agree on basic things. What I wrote HAS to do with "sciences" (not in the sense of experimental laboratory tests, of course: better saying "researches" or "knowledge") like linguistics or glottology.
And this, regardless of consent.
We are not organizing a referendum.
Moreover, besides this few glottological issues I wrote about (which are quite "innocent" - nothing generally considered controversial, in my opinion - and obvious to any young student after the first 6 months of university), I don't manage to undestand which are the other "basic things" we don't agree about. Had we talked about politics, or philosophy, or religion, or the problems of human life? No, indeed. And therefore?
Is the concept that every language (except artificial languages like Esperanto, of course) and every dialect has its roots in a remote pre-history and in transformation throughout the centuries so much a revolutionary concept? So astonishing to you?
I don't think you distinguish between languages spoken 10,000 or 30,000 years ago and languages 2,000-3,000 years old. There are very big differences in voice training, vocabulary, expressiveness, creativity and more. How would the Latin, Slavic, Germanic languages be on the same level as the Dravidian languages? I do not understand you!
@@grantottero4974
According to linguists, the Italian language knows and uses about 30 or 40 verbs that indicate a change of location. Is that a lot? For other languages, this number is much lower. In Hungarian, this number is many thousands! Yes, you read that right. Many thousands. These are all Hungarian words, not foreign words taken from another language! Many may think that this is incredible and doubt it. Linguists are aware of the facts.
I don't think this is quite right for English as there are 68 million British people
not every person in the uk speaks english as a native language/at all tbf

Your figure for English speakers is an underestimate. It does not appear to include the Republic of Ireland, whose population overwhelmingly speak English.
63 million isn't a figure for English speakers, so it doesn't include those who speak it as a second or third language. It's the figure for the native speakers of English, including a majority of the Republic of Ireland's population.

Is there a video of american continent?
Spanish: scorchio!
I feel like there’s a correlation between the strength of a language and the strength of the people who speak it. I’m really trying to feel if it’s a matter of bias or not, but when I hear English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish I hear languages so distinct and potent. It then seems awfully coincidental that these are the languages of legendary modern empires.
Not really but whatever...
😮
As an english speaker, can someone explain why so many of the other presenters speak so fast?
hahaha english speakers *sip my cup of coffee*
Spanish, for example, is a fast language, but to everyone who only speaks one language, or is learning new languages or listens to them, they always seem fast, it happens to me with English, which I know is not a fast language, but when i listen to their speakers for me, they are eminem.

As a Frenchman, I'm really sorry that I don't understand English, even though I spent so much time studying it.
