last of us 2 reference?

PS - Please learn how to pronounce the word "participle."

I don't doubt that language will continue to change, but I would suggest that the advent of modern technologies will actually keep it somewhat anchored down to its current state, whereas prior to these technologies, English only existed as a living language, and people were exposed only to speakers they came into direct contact with, and whatever written materials as well. Future generations will continue to revisit texts and audiovisual materials published in the 20th and 21st century, giving them a staying power beyond the lives of the speakers, and I think will have a tendency to keep people pronouncing things and writing in a substantially similar way. The change I foresee is that English will perhaps lose some of its vowel richness, as billions of people speaking with accents will influence what is considered the mainstream standard, or perhaps a pleasant variant, such as a neo-Indian accent may emerge, and the result will be a simplification and loss of some of the more unique vowels (and substituting them for purer vowels). People might start pronouncing words closer to the spelling despite that being considered incorrect currently. Source: my bum.

the "been" one really located me hard tho lol

We speak the best

The whole "question mark?" Feels a little redundant, as we already do that by ending the sentence with "maybe?" Or "I think?" With giving a statement but also being unsure just before ending your sentence

I also hear Southern Californians (more so than Northerners) shifting short i /ɪ/ toward /ɛ/ so bit sounds midway between bet and bit. Big sounds between beg and big.

I say cara-mel and I’m from the west. When people call it carmel i just think of Carmelo Anthony

im filipino but i have a californian accent

I’m so happy to see this bc I’ve seen so many people shitting on Damien online for absolutely no reason, when he’s always been nothing but the most polite, wholesome person

Hahaha "prezioza" cracks me up 😂😂😂. But I should say that this way of speaking nowadays is mostly for old people and people who live in very small towns, here in Andalucía

my dad’s girlfriend is from málaga while my dad himself is from cuba so when she speaks spanish i can sometimes barely understand her 😭

Yeah we have that in Turkey too

Me, a Latin student, looking for native speakers

I am pretty sure mr Otter that our yucatec Mayan has some clicks

The one that always stood out to me is crawdads. It was really weird for me when I started seeing media call them "crawfish" or "crayfish".

Was that a india in pixels map?

Really getting tired of people saying Japanese Kanji as if it is the Japanese invented them and is unique them, and people in general have no idea the word "Kanji" literally just simply means "Chinese Character" It is okay to refer it as the Japanese Kanji in the specific Japanese grammatical/vocalbulary context is one thing, but still calling them "Japanese" Kanji when talking about some of the most basic logic of the Chinese character is just so obnoxious.😅

8:23 This could also be explained with the Japanese か (ka).

Você esqueceu de nós que somos paraenses, da região norte, nosso sotaque é parecido com o de Portugal, mas os sons com a letra "S" no final não são tão fortes como em Portugal. ♥︎🇧🇷♥︎

Also something to keep in mind: The Californian accent has had a major impact on the General American accent. The Californian accent was normalized via Hollywood, and therefore had a massive influence on the rest of the world. Media is a powerful thing.

The uptalk is one of the features of the 'valley girl' accent, which is why it originated in the San Fernando *Valley*

Languages are becoming optimized not simplified lmao

Why would the language getting simpler imply becoming useless? Well, if it gets simpler than some minimum complexity, sure, but why can’t it be that the minimum viable complexity is much lower than any language so far has gotten? I mean, that seems unlikely, and not supported by evidence I guess, But it doesn’t seem a priori impossible, is my point

For And Nor But Or Yet So Slash

tu é brabo mlk

I was just obsessing over this 😭 good to know that there are pretty cool options out there

I guess cholos learned this Spanish too💀💀

This doesn’t relate to this video and you don’t have to answer, but are you Chinese? Just wondering because there’s a whole lot of WeChat stickers you used for this video

Yay!!! Portuguese(PT/BR)content!!?

La Gomera**

According to those results, I'm mostly of southern dialect except for lawyer and soda

from indiana i say "car-mul"

I got a perfect score for my home state. Can you say the same?

AAVE does nothing that standard English can't already accomplish. Habitual. He works. There, habitual.

What i did to learn english and french was to learn words and then consume lots of media in the language eventually you start "figuring out" how it works

I was in Boston for half of my childhood and lived in Philly for the other half - apparently, I'm from California.

Foo is also a thing

Actually its 120🤓☝️

Algo.

Viva La UFW!

Pela primeira vez eu vi um vídeo de um gringo que real se importa em pesquisar lindo demais ❤

What a cute lil otter, would squish

We say umi(امي) in Arabic for mom😭 and abi(ابي) for dad

I think Krashen is right in every way, except for the idea that input alone is sufficient. It may be sufficient for a child learning their native language, but for an adult L2 learner, the amount of input you would need to truly acquire your language is massive. The downside of being an adult is your brain is no longer plastic and you no longer have parents to give you comprehensible input for 8 hours a day, every day, for years. The upside is that your adult brain is capable of studying the grammar, shortcutting and accelerating some of the acquisition process. The output part is also indispensable for identifying the gaps in your abilities. When I'm listening to a podcast, I'm not always thinking about whether they used the right form of a verb, I just hear that verb and understand the meaning from context. It's only when I go to use that verb myself that I have to both remember it and know how to use the right form of it.

I was on a KLM flight the first time I heard Dutch spoken. My lasting impression of the language was that it sounded similar to english... but it also sounded like english spoken backwards at times too lol

When your choom kleps a nova virtu but the corpo-rat netrunners flatline him before he can delta with the preem scroll so now your gonk ass is gonna get zeroed by some chromed- out solo if you can't fork over the Eddie's AS

Many cultures in Oaxaca, México also communicate exclusively in whistles.

I personally use question mark to emphasize confusion or being flabbergasted or whatever
