    Omg this hit me so close to home because - as a Korean, I lived and studied in an International School in Thailand. School provided basic Thai for foreigners. Was also taught Traditional Chinese using Zhuyin Fuhao there. Then went to Singapore for secondary - college and then employment. Also, was invested into Japanese culture and Animation since a kid. Now I am back in Korea after serving my mandatory military service. Heck really had a blast watching this while reminiscing my past 30 years lol. Thanks for the wholesome content!

    Two minor corrections at 3:20 . (1) The origin of the pronunciation of "cat" in chinese "mao" does in fact come from the sound of cats. (2) the pronunciation of "dog/gou" is not only not indicative of whether or not "cat/mao" is an onomatopoeia, but its literary counterpart is also likely an onomatopoeia for dog barks
    In the Han Dynasty dictionary Shuowen Jiezi 说文解字 (~100 CE), the pronunciation of 猫 is recorded to be 莫交切, in other words, m + iao = miao. In addition, multiple reconstruction of old Chinese also point to similar conclusions - a pronunciation resembling the sound "meow" (a minor r sound possibly even indicating an attempt at recreating a cat's purr):
    郑张尚芳:*mreew [mreːw]、*mrew [mrew]
    Baxter-Sagart(白一平-沙加尔):*C.mˤraw、*C.m(r)aw
    Starostin(斯塔罗斯金):*mhrāw [mʱraːw]、*mhraw [mʱraw]
    It is only in modern northern mandarin that miao has been reduced to mao, but the other half of meow is still present in other Chinese variants and dialects, including but not limited to southwestern Mandarin, hokkien, cantonese etc. Many Chinese words for animals are actually onomatopoeias, such as 鸡(ji, chicken), 鸥(ou, gull), 鸦(ya, crow), 蜂 (feng, bees), 蚊(weng, mosquito), and this includes the literary term for dog 犬, originally pronounced as 苦泫切, "kwong/kwang" (the onomatopoeia for dog in modern mandarin is "wong/wang"). It's easy to find answers to Chinese etymology questions in Shuowen Jiezi and dialects

We have three majority races (order from most to least), Chinese, Malay, and Indian, then the rest would be others as Singapore does not really have a culture of its own. It is more like people of different races living together. There are also westerners who live in Singapore too. Oh but we also use slang, which is known as Singlish.

    A new challenge for you if you're making this comparison again: Pick a Thai girl from the North or from North East, or pick a Laotian girl. Their dialect of Thai (or Laotian in general) is closer to some languages in South China. Modern official Thai has an incredible amount of loan words from Sanskrit through Cambodian influence and others. I'm sure if the Thai girl spoke the traditional dialect words for all of these, you'd probably find many more similarities. Even though the language families are different.

      Well Thai is a tonal language same as burmese viet and lao (any other countries in SEA dont speak tonal languages) , the sanskrit words that we have only came later on, thai was originally much closer to chinese. Thai now consists of 40% SOUTH CHINESE languages such as zhuang ,which is a tai-kradai chinese language same as thai and lao. People only think its not that similar bcs chinese loanwords in thai mainly dont come from mandarin or cantonese and bcs of the non-chinese loanwords that thai also has. Coming from a thai/south chinese mixed family myself ,so. Vietnamese isnt the only country in SEA with a good % of chinese loanwords and it also isnt the only tonal language.
      Although yes , vietnam overall has culturally more chinese influence than the other SEA countries , still especially the tonal speaking countries in SEA have , besides vietnam, more chinese influence than any other SEA country that doesnt speak tonal languages. Which is kind of obvious anyways ,as vietnam, burma ,thailand and laos are the closest to china (well direct neighbours and thailand is the closest of the non direct neighbours) + the tonal speaking of thailand is also bcs part of thailand (especially north part and central part) were originally ethnics from south china who brought all the chinese influence in thai food (some thai food is originally chinese food beside of the actual thai food that STILL also has partly chinese influence) and so on. Thais are not a ethnic pure volk, they are especially now a heavy mix of Thai, lao,chinese , burmese and partly vietnamese. Theres actually one tribe between north and northeast of thailand that is originally from Vietnam. Just a side info.
      Im partly aware of the sanskrit loanwords too just bcs my husband is from india (and im thai and south chinese mixed)
      ,anyways, mainly thai is a south chinese + sanskrit language .

      They didn't even use actual, authentic native words, even if they exist. These were young women in their late teens to mid 20s; they're not educated linguists or educators.
      This is a pop culture RUclips video, with the people involved doing it for YouTubing purposes; it's not an academic discussion among educators who weare experts in Asian languages...
      Thai and Lao speakers, for example, have opted for the word "fan"/"fen" (derived from the English word "friend" or, more accurately, a bastardized version of the word "friend," due to natives originally having a hard time pronouncing that English word "friend" correctly, when they started using it, as young people 3-4 generations ago, thinking of it as a "cooler" word than their own actual word), even though both cultures have an actual native word for that: "puen" ...
      (Lao and Thai are about 85% to 95% interchangeable, with Esan Thai and Lao being close to 100% interchangeable, despite Thailand having annexed the Esan region for quite a few generations now... Both Esan and Lao shared MORE traditional dresses, traditional linguistics, and traditional instruments with each other than either one with Bangkok Thai people. THIS view, of course, isn't going to sit well with Thai folks in general; but that's just basic fact... since both modern Thai and modern Lao, way back, having derived their respective cultures & linguistics from the Dai/Tai-language family group, hailed from southern China a few thousand years ago)

      True. I think all the countries are interesting. I would like to see more but I realize it might not be easy to find some nationalities in South Korea.
      I suspect that the part of what drives which countries are featured is economics. More views equates to more revenue. So perhaps the videos that feature Americans and Brits make more money. As an American, I think American media is mainstream. Not necessarily Americans. Two different things. I remember being in another country many years ago and being asked if we all live like the people on Beverly Hills 90210. I was like absolutely not. I wish 😂

      Hablan varios idiomas allá que son Asiáticos pero el ingles es el idioma que la gente usa para comunicar entre los grupos. Eso es común para los lugares que eran víctimas de la colonización. En Nigeria tienen mas que cien idiomas nativos pero ellos hablan con personas fuera de su tribu en inglés. Y aunque los países de América Latina tienen sus lenguas indígenas hay mucha gente que solamente hablan español o otro idioma europeo. Creo que la mujer escogió la lengua que todo el mundo en su país conoce para que todos sentirán representado.

It's a whole 'nother ballgame writing or speaking it, of course, but at least I understood Oscar's question, and the gist of your response, which was, as usual, correct. It's not difficult to notice the influence of British RP on Fitri's accent, which I find very pleasing to my ears.

But if you have trouble understanding a spoken language don’t be too hard on yourself because teachers typically teach a more formal version of a language than what people speak in informal settings.

      That is why Singapore’s national language (if you’re talking about official language, then there’s 4 being english, malay, mandarin, tamil) is malay, why the malay race is protected by the Singapore Constitution, why the malay race is the only race to have a governmental body enacted to fulfil the constitution with a court system in place; the Syariah Court.

      @@containternet9290 regardless of Singapore’s success, just like how the govt’s effort to remind the locals and new citizens of Singapore of the natives who gave up their land through the land aquisition act for the purpose of an allegedly better future, the natives must not be forgotten. Just like the native americans or the aborigines in Australia.
      Given a choice with hindsight in mind, would the natives give up their land which fed them for millennia just to become a minority in their own land?
      It’s Article 152 of the Singapore Constitution which recognises the special position of malays as the indigenous people of Singapore and it binds the govt to protect, safeguard, support, foster and promote the political, educational, religious, economic, social and cultural interests of the malay race.
      As much as as it ‘kinda’ is a chinese country, regardless of the progress made by the majority race, I would like to affirm that it is not a chinese country with backing from the constitution
      It technically is not a chinese country, it is a multicultural, multiracial country who voted in the PAP regardless of race, language or religion to path the way to Singapore’s success
