Learning Rare Languages
Добавлен 3 янв 2022
A "diary" of sorts documenting my attempts at learning diverse indigenous languages from around the world.
Warlpiri Word Order
Warlpiri is an Aboriginal language from Australia Nothern Territory. It has a very flexible word order. While there is a second-position auxiliary that agrees with tense and is marked for subject, direct object and indirect object nouns in the sentence, there is no other fixed order for each phrase in a sentence.

Diné Bizaad, also known as the Navajo language is one of the more vibrant languages in North America, currently being spoken by several thousand speakers. This series is a language learner's personal diary of sorts, and will document my efforts to learn a language vastly different from more common Asian and European languages.

Is this considered polysynthetic language?
I wish you had used Maria as the subject in both sentences so that the viewer could get a better idea that the form changes from Maria (in nominative/accusative--whether it be the subject in a transitive or intransitive sentence) to Mariak (in ergative/absolutive--whether it be subject of an intransitive or object of a transitive ).
thank you a lot! very informative. please keep it up
I've been watching all your videos and now I'm looking forward to more...I hope you had a great conference
Thank you, so much!
Magyars really are just paprika peeps
With this agglutinative grammar, I assume similar functions exist in Warlpiri's sister languages
yes neighbouring languages like Warumungu and Warlmanpa for example, have very similar grammars.
@@learningrarelanguages1497 hi, do you have more information regarding past auxiliary’s ? Thanks
It was very interesting, thank you 🤗 When exactly are you in Budapest? I live there, so if you have some specific questions, perhaps I can answer them 🤗
Thank you! I will be attending the Polyglot Conference at Vigadó tér on the 27th and 28th. Will arrive late in the evening on the 26th.
Hi broo. You have any idea how they get navajo bread? Its the same as hungarian làngos.
It's still awesome how much content for many lessly spoken languages are being made now like Navajo
Navajo is one of my favourite languages but I think I picked up Russian and Modern Standard Arabic at a much faster pace than Navajo unfortunately :) . It really is the most complex language I've ever studied, along with Tlingit, Hopi and the other Na-Dene languages.
A bheil fhios agaibh càite am b' urrainn dhomh an audio a lorg? (Tha fhios agam gu bheil beagan Gàidhlig agaibh!)
Tha, tha beagan Gàidhlig agam :) Unfortunately I don't have the audio and have been looking for it for ages.
@@learningrarelanguages1497 Glad to know I'm not the only one! 😪
have you learned much about indigenous austronesian langs? considering you know a lot about both languages of north america and austronesia, have you learned any indigenous austronesian langs, like from 🇵🇬?
Hi! I'm currently learning Paiwan, one of the major Taiwanese Aboriginal languages. The phonology of Paiwan in particular, is very conservative and the vocabulary closely resembles reconstructed Proto-Austronesian forms.
