No no 32. All Slavic languages are basically dialects of Russian, so they cannot be considered European languages. Are you fucking insane man?

As a Romanian who grew up during Communism, it has been a delight to hear the different dialects (as they were known before the freedom revolution of '89) of Europe; there hasn't been (I know of none) such a fine compilation!
Then there's also Sorbian in Germany near Poland (and in Poland too I guess), Rusyn in Ukraine and Balkans, Basque between Spain and France, Aromanian in Greece, etc. etc.
The video also didn't include Frisian, which is close to old English, the West Slavic Sorbian (native to Germany), Rhaeto-Roman which is spoken in Switzerland, several low German language may be called dialects, crimean tatars I am sure also have a language. Due to immigration there are also several mixed languages between European languages and those of immigrants.

Greek and Albanian are my favourites, especially the variety of Albanian dialects. Italian is also the nicest of the Romance. Basque will always be the most unique. I also love how the video is broken down in families: Romance, followed by the Independents (Bas/Gre/Alb) etc - helpful.
Albanian is one of the oldest languages in the world but back then it was called Illyrian and Albanian have many different dialects so they can’t understand each other
@Son of Albania Most of the time we understand each other. But for people who live in the southern parts is difficult to understand those in the northern parts and vice versa. I live in the center so I understand both very well.
@_randidog_ You would think so..If you study the Austrian,English and German historians there are archives in AustroHungary,Venetia and Turkey that proves that our language devires 80% from the Illyrian language,its the only language able to translate the tablets we have..
@_randidog_ Albania aka Illyria never had its own Alphabet or at least its never found and it used Greek and Roman alphabets always..Illyrians were barbarians never known for civilisation but mostly for war..However our spoken language and mythology are 100% in line with those from Illyrians..I can give you millions examples but i lack time..Like the Illyrian king Bardylis which in modern Albanian word per word translates too Bardh= white and yllis=star..Or for our mythology which i have millions examples even to this day..

It’s a way harder to listen to the languages than read them! As Russian, Finnish and Swedish are my native languages, I totally understood Norwegian and Ukrainian, just somehow Belarusian and Estonian. When I read, I understand the major part of Slavic and German languages xD
Standard Galician is closer in phonetics to Standard Spanish from Spain (not from America), but words and word forms are closer to Portuguese than most Galician Dialects. Some medieval changes in Spanish happened in Central Galician also (the "c" as "the"), before that Spanish and Portuguese sounded very similar (It´s known because of written grammars..no recorded news :). Portuguese could be for us like a Russian trying to speak Galician. Beware of easy comparisons! It´s interesting in Eastern Europe how very different and neighbour languages sound similar to us. Easy comparisons: Greek is like a Spanish inventing a language, and Albanian a Basque speaker trying to invent an indo-european language. I understood one word in Albanian: autoestrada

A pretty incorrect description of it, given to the language as a mockery by its northern neighbours. It sounds monotonous and doesn't exactly "sing" like Norwegian or Swedish. There are several other languages that does this and I agree it may not sound as pretty as Norwegian, but stop feeding into stereotypes and old insults

Finnish Estonian Sami. languages Hungarian Turkish Basque are not classed as Indo-European languages.All the other long term native languages of Europe are ,and are believed descended from a common ancestor, as are many of the languages of N.India,Persia etc.
There are many similarities between the history of europe and india. However one major difference was nationalism. The various ethnicities took their uniqueness VERY seriously and not only built countries on that uniqueness but all the intellectuals in those countries made a sustained effort to "standardise" the languages which basically means ensuring that even when a country is as small as albania or latvia, ANY idea can be expressed in the local language and either nationalistic private citizens OR the governemnts FUNDED those intelectuals to ensure the intelectuals didnt stop AND to ensure their result would SPREAD nationwide. And when different governments standardized the same language you got pluricentric languages like german (which was standardized to different standards in germany austria and switzerland). Many former colonies of european powers never got the chance to make such standardizations. Many tribal languages in africa can only be used for day tp day activites like eating, coking etc... in many former colonies the language of the colonizer remains the "language of science and commerce" or the "language of unity".
Yeah that's because standard French is Parisian French, which was heavily influenced by the Northern French regional languages that were part of the Celtic or Germanic language families, hence why the pronunciation and the way we count are very different from other romance languages

Well not really from Asia, from the Pontic steppe. The most Asian part of the Indo-European homeland is more or less the same bit that allows Kazakhstan to be included in this video, so still Europe technically.
@Gavin Sunderland That´s simply not true and the proof are basques themselves. They can speak the oldest language spoken in Europe that are not related with anyone else alongside with other languages that are Medieval derivations (Others would say degradations or vulgarizations) of Classical Latin. And one of those is way older than French or Spanish despite the fact that those are also native languages and today are read using the same alphabet.

All Slavic languages are basically dialects of Russian, so they cannot be considered European languages.
Are you fucking insane man? Turkish and other Turkic languages such as Gagauz and Crimean Tatar have been spoken in Europe for 8 centuries. 20 millions of people speak Turkish in Europe (mostly South-eastern Europe and Balkans) in 2019. Turkish is also only language that’s not officially declared one of 28 languages of European Union despite of being one of the official languages of a member state (Cyprus).

As a Romanian who grew up during Communism, it has been a delight to hear the different dialects (as they were known before the freedom revolution of '89) of Europe; there hasn't been (I know of none) such a fine compilation!

Then there's also Sorbian in Germany near Poland (and in Poland too I guess), Rusyn in Ukraine and Balkans, Basque between Spain and France, Aromanian in Greece, etc. etc.
The video also didn't include Frisian, which is close to old English, the West Slavic Sorbian (native to Germany), Rhaeto-Roman which is spoken in Switzerland, several low German language may be called dialects, crimean tatars I am sure also have a language.
Due to immigration there are also several mixed languages between European languages and those of immigrants.
Yiddish may also be considered a European language, strongly influenced by German a Jewish culture.

The maltese is like italian with arab acent, beautiful and melodic indeed.
As a Maltese national, i know that it is based on the magrebi dialect of Arabic but over the years has got Romance influence (mostly Italian) and English influence. Some words are mixed as in they have a semitic article but the word is romance. As a Maltese person, hearing arabic sounds familiar and numbers in arabic are very similar to maltese ones.
@@jeremybarun i was born in Morocco and I'm able to recognize a lot of words, my sister visited Malta once and she said to me that it sounds like Tunisian dialect with Italian influence.
I'm basque, great that you showed our language in this video! I'm really curious of what basque sounds like to foreigners haha
Since it's presented in an Iberian context the rolling 'r'-s sounds like Spanish, while the 'sh' sounds like Portuguese. The rest of the clip gave me Central Asian vibes, like Kazakh or Uzbek.
I think that Basque is an isolated language that is unique and has not much in common with another language

Because Flemish is not a real language, but more a very strong accent/dialect from the Dutch language. The word Flemish is used only to make people understand that it is the Dutch language spoken in Belgium. But you have a point , they are sometimes very difficult to understand for us Dutch people and it can be considered as a different language :-)
@@aarondelsink5420 Dunno I find them pretty different from each other,maybe because of the different accents.I'm studying Dutch at the moment and planning to start Flemish in the nearest future
When you start adding Flemish, you'll have to illustrate West-Flemish, East-Flemish, Antwerps and Limburgs,
Flemish isn't a language and you like Italian too (which is the best out if the latin family by far).

Greek and Albanian are my favourites, especially the variety of Albanian dialects. Italian is also the nicest of the Romance. Basque will always be the most unique. I also love how the video is broken down in families: Romance, followed by the Independents (Bas/Gre/Alb) etc - helpful.
Albanian is one of the oldest languages in the world but back then it was called Illyrian and Albanian have many different dialects so they can’t understand each other
@@infuriousgamer1505They can’t understand each other? WTF!
@Son of Albania Most of the time we understand each other. But for people who live in the southern parts is difficult to understand those in the northern parts and vice versa. I live in the center so I understand both very well.
@_randidog_ You would think so..If you study the Austrian,English and German historians there are archives in AustroHungary,Venetia and Turkey that proves that our language devires 80% from the Illyrian language,its the only language able to translate the tablets we have..
@_randidog_ Albania aka Illyria never had its own Alphabet or at least its never found and it used Greek and Roman alphabets always..Illyrians were barbarians never known for civilisation but mostly for war..However our spoken language and mythology are 100% in line with those from Illyrians..I can give you millions examples but i lack time..Like the Illyrian king Bardylis which in modern Albanian word per word translates too Bardh= white and yllis=star..Or for our mythology which i have millions examples even to this day..

Standard Galician is closer in phonetics to Standard Spanish from Spain (not from America), but words and word forms are closer to Portuguese than most Galician Dialects. Some medieval changes in Spanish happened in Central Galician also (the "c" as "the"), before that Spanish and Portuguese sounded very similar (It´s known because of written grammars..no recorded news :). Portuguese could be for us like a Russian trying to speak Galician. Beware of easy comparisons! It´s interesting in Eastern Europe how very different and neighbour languages sound similar to us.

wow, they weren't kidding when they said Danes talk like they have a potato in their mouth
Oh come on we dont why a potato it makes no sense i have never understood that joke
It's a realy throty language, without the grrrr krrrr sounds
@@danielsolberg1638 it is really
A pretty incorrect description of it, given to the language as a mockery by its northern neighbours. It sounds monotonous and doesn't exactly "sing" like Norwegian or Swedish.
There are several other languages that does this and I agree it may not sound as pretty as Norwegian, but stop feeding into stereotypes and old insults
As an Indian it's pretty interesting to watch this, because we in India as a single country don't understand each other with our many languages going 200+ some even dying.
All European languages except the Basque language come from one language
Finnish
Estonian
Sami. languages
Hungarian
Turkish
Basque
are not classed as Indo-European languages.All the other long term native languages of Europe are ,and are believed descended from a common ancestor, as are many of the languages of N.India,Persia etc.
There are many similarities between the history of europe and india. However one major difference was nationalism. The various ethnicities took their uniqueness VERY seriously and not only built countries on that uniqueness but all the intellectuals in those countries made a sustained effort to "standardise" the languages which basically means ensuring that even when a country is as small as albania or latvia, ANY idea can be expressed in the local language and either nationalistic private citizens OR the governemnts FUNDED those intelectuals to ensure the intelectuals didnt stop AND to ensure their result would SPREAD nationwide. And when different governments standardized the same language you got pluricentric languages like german (which was standardized to different standards in germany austria and switzerland). Many former colonies of european powers never got the chance to make such standardizations. Many tribal languages in africa can only be used for day tp day activites like eating, coking etc... in many former colonies the language of the colonizer remains the "language of science and commerce" or the "language of unity".

French is a romance language like Spanish,Italian, Romanian or Portuguese but it doesn't sound the same at all...
Yeah that's because standard French is Parisian French, which was heavily influenced by the Northern French regional languages that were part of the Celtic or Germanic language families, hence why the pronunciation and the way we count are very different from other romance languages
Its suposed to be like this.

Portuguese sounds quite different to me like French but different in a different way

As a basque speaker I am proud to speak the oldest language of Europe but, of course, I love each and every language of the world and I'd like to preserve all of them
@Gavin Sunderland You may be right as every language is the product of an evolution. Let´s say then that I am proud of speaking the last preindoeuropean language of Western Europe
@@SoulRedness Sorry, but ancient greek is a branch of the indoeuropean family. Basque is a PREindoeuropean language, so it was here in Europe before the migration from Asia that broguht the protoindoeuropean language. Check it out th-cam.com/video/Sur3hqDXpa8/w-d-xo.html
Well not really from Asia, from the Pontic steppe. The most Asian part of the Indo-European homeland is more or less the same bit that allows Kazakhstan to be included in this video, so still Europe technically.
@Gavin Sunderland That´s simply not true and the proof are basques themselves. They can speak the oldest language spoken in Europe that are not related with anyone else alongside with other languages that are Medieval derivations (Others would say degradations or vulgarizations) of Classical Latin. And one of those is way older than French or Spanish despite the fact that those are also native languages and today are read using the same alphabet.
@Gavin Sunderland nice to read that, my friend
Galician is Portuguese with a Spanish accent.
So Galician is understandable Portuguese because it is without a weird pronounciation :)
All of the languages are sub groups of the main ones like Castilian and Galilean Spanish at most Europeans have 5 to 6 languages 🤨
... and a lot of the Eastern European “languages” just sound like subsets of the Russian language😏
Then why Galicia belongs to Spain?
@@kingjulian904 Because...you know...history... In fact Portugal and Spain were united for about about 80 years i.e. in personal union so if history took a bit different turn they would've been the same nation till today.
@@joekerr9197 but in fact galician didn't sound Portuguese to me
Serbian, Croatian, Montengrin and Bosnian are the same language .
There's more diversity between the Albanian dialects spoken in different regions which are obviously simply different dialects .
Arbereshe (Albanians in Italy), Aravanite (Albanians in Greece),
Tosk (Albanians in proper Albania), Gheg (Northern Albania, Kosova, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia).
Arnauti (Albanians in Turkey).
Some of these dialects have up to 6 centuries of growth in isolation .
Politics are the reason why we have dialects of the same language separated...

Buttrape Bill I thought it was Arabic, or is that only in Sweden?
Albanian is strange for a Latin language speaker: gramatically is totally uncomprehensible, but phonetically it sounds familiar, I personally would have thought it was Romanian.
It's not a latin language, however it has heavy latin influence
Albanian and Romanian have an old connection due to the ancient Illyrians and Dacians. That’s it. Romanian got fully latinized while Albanian only went almost half way. That’s why it forms its own branch within the IE languages tree.
