How #hiragana & #katakana came to be used
After which kingdom was the Aramaic script chosen as the administrative script? What is the reason for this hatred? Also, if you follow the Sasanian Pahlavi line, you will fully understand the origin of the line known as Arabic. With these actions, you will only create an energy to regain our own position.
Eurpoean languages are very similar compared to Asian languages
Except for uralic.
What does Lexicon mean in language?
My parents and their friends have joked about the millennial and younger generation not developing good Chinese printing by hand because of electronic input methods so everyone has childlike writing.
Aren't kids compelled to write by hand in schools, at least until they reach uni level?
@@nofridaynightplans I'm not actually sure if they're just boomers memeing on us or if it's legitimately the case that the younger generations have less refined writing. Being an overseas meant that I never properly learnt to write. That said, when I was in elementary, English cursive was still held up as the formal writing skill even though keyboards and then computers were being introduced into the curriculum. By high school there was nothing about cursive anymore.
Iranians did not exist when Islam arrived in West Asia, while Persians had already been extinct after being hellenized by Greeks. Such called pseuda nation concept of "iranian" beagan to shape only during Afsharid dynasty.
Need to check my notifications more! I did not even realize that another informative video had been posted to No Friday Night Plans! Like usual you have must have done a lot of research, and writing to make this detailed documentary on the history of typewriters for Chinese characters and keyboards! What you mentioned is true! I sometimes see people looking up the correct kanji stroke for kanji outside the 常用漢字( jōyō kanji) list but I almost never see anyone looking up stroke order for the 教育漢字 (kyōiku kanji). However, some the official taught Kanji stroke orders have changed and Parents checking their elementary school kids homework may sometime be surprised and need to double check. And, there are popular book to help with this (althought must people can use free phone apps) like 江守 賢治 (Emori kenji)'s 正しくきれいな字を書くための 漢字筆順ハンドブック now in the fourth edition sometimes list two or even three different possible stroke orders for one Kanji! For exmaple 「恵」on page 74 of the 3rd edition has 3 different possible stoke orders for writting out all 10 strokes! But.. anyway You did a really good job on this video!
Brian久しぶりだよね!コメントをありがとう!
All these details are useless. The Arabic letters are share bu Urdu and Farsi, to name a few. Remember that the area where the Arabs existed and still exist have been influenced by many invaders.
No
So Nabataean Aramaic and Nabataean Arabic are different in the sense that Nabataean Aramaic evolved into Nabataean Arabic is that accurate, if I can get a response thank you
What is usually assumed is that Nabataean Aramaic was a dialect of Aramaic used by the Nabataeans. Over time, the Nabataeans increasingly adopted Arabic as their spoken language, influenced by their Arab identity. However, they continued to write in the Nabataean Aramaic script. As Arabic became more dominant, the script began to evolve to better accommodate the Arabic language. Aramaic was a major lingua franca at the time. When Cyrus conquered Babylon, he kept the Aramaic language as the lingua franca of the empire instead of imposing Old Persian. Thank you for your comment.
@@nofridaynightplans thank you for your kind response. As I kept reading I eventually saw there was a transitioning in writing from Nabataean Aramaic to Nabataean Arabic to Arabic, with visual evidence. Thank you again
As often in these cases it is a subject with a bitter aftertaste. Making education possible, but under selfish conditions. Excellent video. 😊
Thank you Carola for giving some time to this video too 🙂. As a native French speaker, I must say I was surprised to see how this whole French thing had unfolded over the past two centuries. France is usually regarded as an assimilationist country but the book the video is based on does show that -as is always the case with the advancement of Capital, French was only a means to an end: dominate and exploit for the circulation of goods. In this regard, things haven't changed much, wherever you look in the world. Thank you for your comment!
Thank you so much for another interesting and informative video. Learning something new every day is normal.... But your contents go far further. And all that information given with your pleasant voice- containing a big smile - is a treasure. 😊 By the way.... This "desease" is not only Chinese. The ability for a good Writing is decreasing thanks to the new media.
Thank you for your comment Carola. I sincerily appreciate it. I do remember you from the "How to read Arabic without vowels" video - I think it is the first one you left a comment on a few months ago. I'm pleasantly surprised to see you here too. Thank you for your valuable support 🙂. The general leveling down in all areas is objectively easy to observe. New technologies tend to offer fewer opportunies to write and overall, reading isn't as popular as it used to be. However, the "tibiwangzi disease" is another aspect of this decline, I believe, and it is very specific to Chinese (all its varieties) and Japanese, which are the only languages in the world that still use ideograms. Except for cases of rare cognitive impairment, it is unlikely people would forget how to write the Latin script, or any other alphabet, if they have acquired this knowledge because alphabets are inherently limited in terms of number of letters. In the case of Chinese and Japanese, you will simply forget the characters (at least the most complex ones, which represent a sizeable portion of them all) if you don't practice them every day. Poor language ability may well affect Japanese and Chinese people too; but on top of that, they are also faced with this additional obstacle. These are truly fascinating times, in every respect. Thank you again for your lovely comment and valuable contribution.
Thanks again for taking the time to give further explanation. you are certainly right. ❤
Always a gift to see a new video from you. i imagine the researches and work to compile for this surprising topic ... Your graphics needs to be more contrasted and stroking! also care about the order in wich the information is presented ... i'll elaborate further in a detailaid repport ... Thank's for the work quality🎉🎉🎉
Didn't get notified for this video🤔. Never thought of why but good to know 😁 thanks!
Very surprising, and extremely interesting. I remember I checked out some info about the Japanese typewriter some time ago but never came across this discovery. Truly fascinating.
I also started by researching Japanese typewriters. But rapidly realised the Chinese history was more interesting, as in unexpected. Thanks for your comment!
This is an extremely interesting video!!! I would never have imagined that's how it all happened! Thank you.
Neither did I 😂
Awesome video! I'd always been curious about this, and I could never find an explanation that made sense to me, and you made it so clear and concise and intuitive. And, I've been following your videos for a while now and each new one you release more and more quality. And I appreciate how much effort and research you put in to pronouncing the Chinese words and names
Thanks so much for the support! I sincerely appreciate it! I must say I was really surprised to discover all this. I find it fascinating and I’m glad to share this knowledge with others :)
And now we have AI autocomplete. It's amazing how technologies advance but humans will always get smarter. Like even though we all became weak at mental math because of the calculator it turned out ok.
The thing with things like GPT is that they may impede people’s ability to articulate thinking and research on their own. I’m not quite sure this will be without consequences in the longer run. But time will tell. Thank you for your comment Tasneem 💛
You will sure excuse my poor Chinese pronunciation ^.^ Don't hesitate to point any possible mistakes or add any important information that is missing. Grateful if you could support my work with a like! Thank you <3
5:17 برقوق is plum not apricot
As you must have realised by the time you reached the 5th minute, this video is about how Arabic vocabulary influenced European languages; i.e. this is not an Arabic lesson with vocabulary translation... برقوق from the Greek word βερικοκκία gave apricot. Whether it means apricot or not in Greek and Arabic is not the point of the video.
Adopt? you call murdering and butchering Persians[Iranians] and forcing them to speak and write arabic for centuries, "adopting"? 🤡 wow!👎🏻 btw, It's Persian پارسی✅️, NOT فارسی!❌️
Sadly, I didn't get a notification for this video and was wondering why you hadn't uploaded in a while. Great to see you back.
Thank you for your nice comment. I sincerely appreciate it a lot.
Magnifique présentation de ce film qui, moi aussi, m'a intrigué!
Je trouve aussi. Si vous cherchez en japonais, vous trouverez de nombreuses informations très intrigantes (et intéressantes) sur les nombreuses hypothèses d'analyse du film !
Interesting I thought it was just the pasting of biblion like in Spanish iglesia from ecclesia (if I remember correctly)
Indeed. But the interesting part is why biblion? The name of the Phoenician city explains it all ;)
Urdu have 10 vowels but are still written with abjads.
The 取る kanji has a more interesting story than the one you gave in the end. Its original meaning is cutting ear. According to what I read "in ancient China, soldiers cut the ears of the captives as their trophies, but such meaning has been replaced by 聝 or 馘, now 取 means getting or taking." Ancient China was brutal.
The original book, in English, stops giving you made stories by the middle and instead encourages you to create your own personal stories, which will make more sense to you.
Modern Iranians are mixed Arabs, So it's not surprising if they speak and write Arabic.
Arabs literally lost control over iran after just 224 years of their conquest + arabs only settled in ahvaz which isn't even a majority arabs
+modern iranians don't speak Arabic or a branch of Arabic but persian (farsi) which is an indoeuropean language, they have a few Arabic words in their language because Arabic was mostly used in theology
@@omarelmorsy139 their language is fuII of Arabic words actually, and their alphabet is entirely Arabic.
@supermavro6072 even through I'm arab when I listened to farsi I understood nothing but a few words, not to mention that they added some letters in their writing system that doesn't even exist in arabic, their alphabet have a 32 letter while arabic have 28
Hi, i really like your channel. Im starting with japanese. Im a native spanish speaker from argentina...im learning the basic grammar and some phrases, but for you now i want learn kanji, i will try with a first book by heisig. Saludos!
Hi! Gracias por tu comentario ^0^ Hay una traducción de RTK en español :) I'm only saying that so that you know. Por supuesto, la versión en inglés es buena también. All the best in your journey!
💀the fk is that intro?
This is wrong, Arabic language originated from south arabia, and it was written in old Arabic (musnad). You are confusing Arabic language with current Arabic script.
What you said about SRS for vocabulary is relatable, i.e., it's required in the initial stages of learning a language and gets phased out in the intermediate stage. I memorized the first 2000 highest occurring Arabic words in the Quran to get started.
Shortness is an art itself... And you are mighty good in it. 👏👏💙
A bit unexpected, but very informative :)
I recently came across this info and thought I'd turn it into a video 🤭
As always great informative video, the format is also close to perfect ... but sometimes the critical information is "shadowed" by pertinent but peripheral information .. thank's for the effort
Oh thanks so much for the feedback. Don't hesitate to please elaborate so that I can improve! <3 Much appreciated!
Short, sweet and informative. Thank u!
Short can have its upsides :)

It is not " Arabic " influence but rather western Asian , actually most of the so called Muslim scientists were not Arabs.
If you watched the video, you must have heard Arabic-speaking scientists and not Arab scientists.

Beautiful animation❤
You are absolutely right on the fact that french ,though is portrayed as the official language in some african countries, is not NOT a mother tongue of most those countries except Gabon and Ivory Coast . For example in my country , Congo 🇨🇩 Kinshasa, French is the official language ( language of administration,most school levels etc ) but we don't speak French at home neither in any other social interaction. In fact our congolese pop culture like music , movies are made in lingala (local language) . But the French language propaganda organization called " organization internationale de la francophonie " always portrays our capital city,Kinshasa, as the biggest francophone city in the world due to its demographics of over 12 million inhabitants. This is a big lie , though French is the language of road signs, administration,school the reality in on ground is different in a sense that in Kinshasa we speak lingala , we sing in lingala , we dream in lingala , we make music in lingala etc. If you are Not familiar with Congo and heard French propaganda machine saying that Congo is francophone Congo, you might think French is spoken in Congo as French is spoken in France
As I said in this video and the one on the history of French in Africa, the main challenge in African countries is to find a unifying language as most countries have artificial borders and encompass many different peoples, each with their respective languages. It is good if Lingala becomes the unifying language of RDC. And it's good too if Wolof becomes the unifying language of Senegal. But as long as the State as an administrative entity exists, it will need to impose one common language. That's why most regional languages in French are almost all dead - the State had to wipe them out. Your statement may need a bit more nuance. Most Congolese literature is written in French, isn't it? I read "Mathématiques congolaises" by In Koli Jean Bofane not so long ago and I thought it was extremely well written. It would be good to develop literature in Lingala. But in the present instance, I think that money matters are also at play: it may not be as lucrative to write in local languages as it is in French as most markets can be targeted without the need for a translation. I'd be happy to see more literature in local languages. But writing in English instead of French is where my ability to understand the logic stops. I'm in favor of more languages, not fewer. Thanks for your comment :)
@nofridaynightplans I get you, and you are right. Actually, in my comment, all I wanted was to let people know the reality on the ground ( in Congo ) because non african people around the world think that those so called african french-speaking countries are as french-speaking as France which is not true . So, I wanted to add that up so that people know how different we are . As far as local literature is concerned, you are right,unfortunately, most books are published in french compared to the few that are published in local languages . The biggest local languages book writers and publishers are Jehovah's Witnesses , Catholic church, and protestant church. We still have a long way to go in terms of writing in local languages, but compared to some other so-called french-speaking countries in Africa, Congo 🇨🇩 Kinshasa is way better in advancing local languages agenda and speaking in local language. In fact, most french-speaking countries in Africa envy us ,Congolese, in the sense that we give value to our language. For example : our Congolese Rhumba ( mimic genre ) is now recognized by UNESCO as an Intagible heritage of humanity . This music genre is sung 100% in lingala, by the way . Congolese have a strong lingala speaking audience on social media like Tiktok and RUclips with millions of views where lingala speakers can earn money from these social media without creating content in french or in English. This is not possible for other french-speaking countries . They envy us on this and don't understand how possible this can be . So this shows how small french is our mind and social interaction. Disclaimer : I'm not saying that Congolese don't create content in french, but RUclips videos in lingala have more views than those in french by far way.
@@imhotep1613 Thank you for adding this. But you're only mentioning Lingala. It surely isn't the only language in RDC. What about Tshiluba or Kiswahili and the other lesser known ones?
@nofridaynightplans Yes, you are right . I'm mentioning lingala because without no doubt lingala is the only local language in Congo you can use in every single corner of Congo Kinshasa where out of 10 people at least 4 people would speak it and understand it perfectly. Me mentioning lingala doesn't mean I am trying to undermine Kikongo , kiswahili, and Tshiluba. In fact as far as kiswahili is concerned this beautiful language is more internationally recognized and known than the 4 national languages of Congo Kinshasa and alsoa in terms of its speakers on african level , Kiswahili has more speakers the other 3 Congo national languages combined. Again, I mentioned lingala to show how a local language can be pop culture definition or a bridge between different ethnic groups. It's impossible to have more than 2 languages dominating culturally in an African country . For example : In South africa there is no other local language that is way popular in terms of music, for example like isiZulu . I'm not saying that people in SA don't use other local languages, but isizulu is so big there compared to its fellow indigenous african languages. I guess this makes sense .
@@imhotep1613 Thank you for clearing that up. These insights are very interesting and I'm pretty sure others will find this info valuable. Thank you for visiting the channel! ^.^

Is it imperialism, yes, much like many other imperial powers, not all peoples are imperial though, however, the imperial ones get more attention influence and unite larger spaces creating a genuine reason for their superiority. A non-imperial little island people would probably be hunter-gatherers, plain and simple Does that mean that Arabic-speaking peoples created more knowledge? the answer is a fat no, their not the people who created the internet, the car, the electricity and so on, and the works were based off of Greek, Chinese, Persian and Indian knowledge, which doesn't take anything from that value of addition, this is one reason why the old world emerged over the "new" world, we are interconnected. The Western civilization in the broad sense has created so much more knowledge, can you compare life before the and after al-jabra? yes, compare it by the pre-industrial era. We can talk about English words in Arab dialects, as Radio, Television and the internet, but this won't make an interesting underdog story, and it's pretty much known anyway.
Lol saying that they took everything from other civilizations without adding anything is the most retarded shit I saw in your comment, they took the knowledge from other civilizations ( like any civilization in history of mankind cuz knowledge is something cumulative ) and develop it and even made new sciences new theories and changed the history of science forever saying they just copied things is the stupidest shit even to say in fact they added more than what they copied and correct more from what they copied more than what they left If we're going to use your same logic than the western civilization stole everything from other civilizations ( they didn't even have scientific honesty like Arabs ) bro even your culture is stolen from the Greeks and the Romans, this civilizations classify themselves as eastern civilizations western and north europeans were believed to be unwashed barbarians who doesn't have the capability to be civilized according to the Greeks and Romans themselves you only stole their culture after the fall of Rome at the hands of barbaric German tribes the same why you stole science and knowledge after the fall of Andalusia and how you took muslims maliki law from Egypt after French campaign against Egypt to make the french law the base of all western law today As for electricity and the internet and all that great invasion yaah it's all great and all but it won't remove the superiority of Islamic civilization over the west that even the most haters of Islam among orientalists believe in it and can't deny it lol even the king of the UK couldn't deny it it's just a historical fact no matter how much edgy keyboard warriors teenagers hate it, but you forget the greatest discovery humanity made that you won't have any of those inventions without it something no civilization before Islamic civilization made it's scientific methodology
Btw can you give me one civilization in western or northern europe before Andalusia? Just one
I were here just to laugh on the pronunciation of Arabic vocab😂, then 0:45 came and boom, I heard the letters ص خ ق pronounced in excellent way, if Arabic is not the native language of the creator, I would say that she have put a great effort for this video. Edit: She is not native Arabic speaker, I found that from 1:58, as some Harakat (Diacritics or Short vowels) are a little bit foreign, but man, it's an amazing level of pronunciation for non-natives.
I am not a native speaker but I speak fluent Arabic. Thank you for clicking on the video, even if it was just to poke fun at my pronunciation.
@@nofridaynightplans Sorry if my former comment seems rude, and I really appreciate your effort and I'm happy that there're people like you who put the effort to learn my mother tongue and get to this level, But I'm sure you as a fluent Arabic speaker see those who claim that they're polyglots and speaking fluent Arabic then you hear them and they actually speaking it like a toddler who no native speaker can understand, that's why I'm interested to poke fun at those, not at really hardworking people like you.
@@allaab9385 No offence taken :) Thank you for your comment.
