    Correction:
    The sky gods across PIE descended cultures actually come from Dyēus Ph2ter, the original Sky god from PIE people. We can see this in Zeus’s ancient name, Zeus Patér (in Ancient Greek Zeta would have been pronounced as “dz” unlike modern “z”, so it would have been pronounced something like Dzayeus Patér, which is even more similar to the PIE sky god). Jupiter in Roman mythology was originally Djous-patēr in proto-Italic before he became Jupiter, and the original Vedic sky God was named Dyáuspitr. You can most definitely see the correlation between Dyēus Ph2ter, Zeus Patér (Dzayeus Patér) and Dyáuspitr. 3 different cultures with a common ancestor but a striking resemblance in the name of their chief gods (well, Dyáuspitr doesn’t exist in modern Hinduism, but he was the chief god in Vedic Hinduism)

    Fun fact : The word "mead" is related to the Japanese word for "honey", which is "mitsu". Indeed, the Japanese word was borrowed from Chinese, and it is believed the Chinese took it from the Tocharian languages, which were Indo-European (they are now extinct). The word in question would come from the Proto-Indo-European *médʰu, which became "mead" in English.
    Also, I remember I wrote a comment on that video. I had noticed some mistakes.
    Notably, on the screen at 6:18 (4:10 on the original video).
    The big error is the fact they put "*swé" as the Proto-Indo-European for "sew". This is, in fact, the reflexive pronoun, which does not have a descendant in English, but is related to the word "self". The words showed in Greek, Latin, and Balto-Slavic are also descendant of that pronoun. The correct Proto-Indo-European word for "sew" was *syewh₁-, and only the Sanskrit word they showed is related to it.
    The asterisks are very confusing because normally, they indicated a reconstruction (i.e. a word that has no written record, but has been reconstructed from clues in later languages). This is why I used an asterisk with my Proto-Indo-European examples. On this screen, however, it's all over the place, and it doesn't make sense.
    Lastly, the word for "sister" in Latin is wrong. They showed the Proto-Italic word, which, granted, is the ancestor of Latin, but the correct Latin word should be "soror". The "z" became "r" in Latin's early history. They made a similar mistake for the word for "God", they again put the Proto-Italic word instead of the Latin word, which should be "Deus".
    I was also unable to confirm "māedus" is indeed a word in Latin or Proto-Italic, and for some reason, "edō" has an umlaut instead of a macron.
    Considering the number of incorrect things I saw with my limited knowledge on this chart, I wouldn't be surprised if I missed other things, too, as I'm not 100% familiar with some of the other branches of the Indo-European family. But I think that, at least, the Latin and Germanic ones were mostly correct.
    Another mistake is the fact they cited Italian as a Western Romance language. It is in fact part of the Italo-Dalmatian branch (if we're talking about the standard language at least, which comes from Tuscan, as explained in the video). Corsican shouldn't have been put as Western either, as it is a close relative to Tuscan.
    (Also I just noticed he mispronounces "Occitan" as "Oticcan" lol)
    A few other points, which weren't mistakes, but I hoped would be made more clear :
    1. The Italo-Celtic branch of the family is not firmly established. The Italic and Celtic branches of course exist and are part of the Indo-European family, but it's not completely clear if they were part of the same branch.
    2. They should have made clear that Basque is not an Indo-European language. It's an isolate, which means there is no known language related to it. It is probably the descendant of one of the languages spoken on the Iberian peninsula before the Indo-Europeans came in.
    3. The word for "wine" in Germanic and Batlo-Slavic languages does not directly come from their Indo-European ancestry, but was rather borrowed from Latin. Of course, Latin does come from Proto-Indo-European anyway, so it's kind of minor for an introductory video, but still.
    I still think it's a pretty good video to get introduced to Indo-European languages. And I was so overjoyed when you correctly identified the way languages evolve and become distinct. The analogy with biological evolution is one I have seen on my own as well.

    Frisian is also an official language spoken in the north of the Netherlands, in the Friesland province. That language is most closely related to English, even more than Dutch. Frisian used to be spoken from the Danish coast, all the way down to the Flemish coast in modern day Belgium. Standard Dutch originates in the Holland province. Which some say that the “purest” form is spoken in the city of Haarlem.

    Two things:
    -Occitan is pronounced like "oxi-ton", not Ottican (which is not a word at all).
    -An Italian from Tuscany and a Sicilian will have absolutely no trouble whatsoever understanding each other, because modern standard Italian has been fully established as the national language of Italy for a very long time now. It's true that someone speaking a variant of Tuscan (like Florentine) vs someone speaking a Sicilian language variant (such as Catanese) would find it next to impossible to have a conversation. But the reality today is that there are no longer any people in Italy who only know these local languages and do not know standard Italian at all. That may have been true in the past, but not anymore.

    It becomes confusing using the term evolution in context of language as what is commonly called evolution of species has no intelligent information added to it, whereas language is solely based on adding new intelligent information. Geographical boundries do play a part in both language and natural selection. Both create new "species", one by adding and mixing information and the other by destroying and mixing physical chemical letters (DNA).
    Polar bears not mingling with brown bears because of location physicly can't recover information for dark fur that they'd lost from selection. But isolated people can create new information that results in two separate languages both having a new word with the same meaning such as "spacecraft".
    What I find ironic is the term intelligent design applies better to both of them. A source of information is needed. Language of course can't create itself from nothing by random chance since you need an interpretation system - a meaning of information such as "cat is that thing" - by which to decode it. Words and DNA are no different in that. They cannot decipher themselves without a language information system, and cannot create the information system without the decode system.
    Interestingly DNA has both the content information and the encode/decode language system in the same text. A chicken or the egg situation where one can't create the other as it can't exist without the other first existing. It's like reading a book in an unknown language and immediately being able to read it because of the text teaching you the language by reading it.

    The thing of languages going extinct, in the present it's mostly due to deliberate actions like genocide and cultural genocide (ie, the language is forbidden, children get taken away from parents and aren't taught anything to do with their parent's language or culture, think of the "schools", and the abuse that was included, many Native American, First Nation, Inuit, and Aboriginal children were subjected to). So when we talk about a language going extinct, it's not just the language that is gone, it's an entire culture, with the (oral) history, songs, stories, poetry, religion etc etc etc that will not be remembered because the people who knew those stories etc died with the languages. And because it is done deliberately, the children of those people will never be able to hear those stories or poems or songs. Especially since many of these languages were oral only, those things were not written down. There is a big effort to try and preserve those languages, not just because of the language, but because of the culture that is connected to it.
    One of my teachers specialised in languages spoken in the Amazon, and he was trying to record and transcribe as much as he could, stories, history, religious stories and rituals etc etc, in an effort to have these things available.
    We will never know what some tribes in the Americas lived through, or what they experiences, because that history was not written down but passed down orally, and all the speakers, and thus the history, of those tribes is gone.
    The reason we know so much about the Roman civilisation is because they wrote so much down. It is preserved in written form, but if a language doesn't have a written form at all, how will we ever know anything about that culture? The answer is we don't know, and we will never know.

    If you are interested in learning more about the foundations of western civilization, I sugest you to start by reading Homer´s "Iliad" (with annotations ofcourse). This was a foundational book that inspired all greek and roman intelectuals and elites that later built Greek and Roman Civilizations (it was kind of their Bible). And it´s a great and epic adventure/war book, btw.
    Also, you can always find books that resume the greek mythology stories, and that´s always fun to read. Greek mythology is like small stories about the gods and heroes that always end up talking about big and important human things. People many times say that ancient greeks talked and thought about everything and, for sure, Greek Mythology is a good example of that.

    The Cornish language actually stretched across Devon not just Cornwall and apparently the Cornish language actually originated in the Devon part of an ancient kingdom (Dumnonia) which included Devon and Cornwall. The reason it’s called Cornish language is because Devon is more eastern so naturally the Germanic tribes that invaded (Angles and Saxons) invaded Devon WAY quicker. Basically people call it “Cornish” language bcs it lasted in Cornwall but only a very few people in Devon speak it. That was a waffle but I hope it made sense. Also Devon (particularly Dartmoor) has HUGE Celtic roots and evidence of it still standing just as much as Cornwall if not more but we never get enough credit

    The Germanic languages should be given the place earlier that he gives the Celtic branch, which has always been restricted to the west Atlantic fringe where it developed. Germanic
    came early from middle Europe, which is how it was able to split into several branches.
    It is not proved that all Britain ever was Celtic speaking, more likely that the eastern parts
    were always germanic, through constant migration across the Channel/North Sea.
    Contact was strong with Scandinavia. There is little evidence for any Romance language
    in Britain, a bit of Latin in Welsh as well as in English but this from the Church. English was not
    a new language created since Romans left, but closely related, & as old as old Friesian, & older than old high or western German. It developed further in Britain through mixing with local ancient scando-germanic speech. There were many Germanic Roman troops in Britain from the
    earliest days of the Empire, & increasing numbers as time passed, so with the Scando-germanic element of the population it is easy to see how English became dominant.

      It's a more flat and melodic version of Dutch, this also goes for the structuring of sentences.

    Many English speakers think Dutch sounds strangely familiar. 6 centuries ago, they probably were intelligeable. By the way, Frisian, spoken in the province of Frisia in the Netherlands and some tiny parts of Germany is considered to be the closest relative to English. But I think English is an outlier, a creole language. Many English speakers think that is an insult, but I don't mean it like that at all. It does not degrade English in my opinion in any way.

    “The story of the Tower of Babel explains the origins of the multiplicity of languages. God was concerned that humans had blasphemed by building the tower to avoid a second flood, so God brought into existence multiple languages. Thus, humans were divided into linguistic groups, unable to understand one another.” - Wikipedia
    Would kinda explain why so many ancient languages throughout Europe and Asia look slightly similar…. But who knows🫡
