I was just in Hokkaido this past winter. Besides "hello", the Ainu people I met did not know any Ainu language. I asked the Ainu gentleman who worked at the museum how many native speakers are left, and he said none, although there are a few elderly people who can speak it somewhat. I also had the privilege of sitting in on a kamuynomi ceremony. The elder chanted in Ainu for 20 minutes. After I asked him about the words and he said he didn't know what they meant, he just memorized them and recited them. If you ever have a chance to go to Hokkaido, the Ainu people are such great wood carvers, prepare to bring lots of money to buy lots of gorgeous carvings, because that is a main source of income. The Ainu food was also excellent, although there are very few Ainu restaurants.
There are some efforts to make the language ’’live again‘‘ like bilingual schools and languages and culture classes here and there but I doubt the efforts will bear any fruits. I lived in the countryside next to sapporo for years and like 99% of the people I met there, even my wife’s family who is part Ainu, don‘t have any interest in the language and culture. It’s more like a ’cute‘ folklore to them and none are interested in learning the language.

Ainu language revival would be amazing. What I love the most about your videos is that you care about teaching the vast amount of languages in our world, even the ones that are almost extinct.
It is sorrowful fate that most of ethnic minorities have been forced not to use their languages, to abandon their cultures and to acclimate to majority groups. They are often used to argue political issues even if the pressures towards them end. Ainu is also. As a Japanese and a descendant of Hokkaido settlers, I have been curious about Ainu and their culture, history and language since I knew who my ancestors were and where they came from. Also I have been concerned about the persecution against Ainu. Thank you for your excellent video. I hope this video will help Ainu be known more and more.
Hm, the strange thing is that this sounds strangely similar to what happened to the Northwest Pacific peoples (of whom i am descended from), with them being forced to assimilate into “civilized” society.
Thanks to Golden Kamuy I learned so many interesting things about the Ainu. I really hope their language can be saved :< It is a really beautiful language
As someone who's fascinated by indigenous American cultures, I can't help but see tons of similarities between the Ainu and Coast Salish peoples of the pacific northwest. Maybe its just the similar climate & environment
"Native Americans" too, aren't native to America, they immigrated there from Siberia many thousands of years ago, just like Ainu immigrated from Siberia to Japan.
@@rodrigoe.gordillo2617 Not exactly. Indo-Europeans arrived from the Wild Steppe which is in South-Eastern Ukraine and Westernmost Southern Russia, both are still part of what's today understood as "Europe" geographically (and culturally), and even then, the peoples that inhabited Europe and weren't Indo-Europeans (basques, sami, illyrians, etruscans, nuragians (sardinians)) intermingled with those Indo-Europeans and thus modern Europeans are the results of Indo-Europeans fuckin with "native" Europeans. So no, Europeans are indeed *native* to Europe, just not the entirety of Europe.
@@anonymousbloke1 Native Americans are referred to as such because they're the first human population that migrated and inhabited the Americas. From an outsider perspective, they're the natives of that land compared to everyone who came after. They also developed into the groups they are today within America. Now one might debate if another group of people, like the Austronesians, were in parts of South America before the ancestors of the Native Americans, but even then those theoretical groups no longer exist and their impact, if it even exists, is miniscule. Overall the whole terminology and what people think as "native" and "indigenous" can get confusing and at times hostile, especially if one of these labels is given to only certain groups. This might also be the case within the Native Americans themselves since, as we know, the Inuit and other Eskimo-Aleut people of North America arrived in a much more recent migration out of Siberia compared to every other Native American group.
@@anonymousbloke1 They are Native to America, they never have been in Asia and their language never existed there. There ancestors are from Asia but their descendants are native to America

The Ain-Pa Ainos are inhabitants of remote areas of Hokkaido and northern Onshu in northern Japan, and the Kuril Islands and the former Polish island of Sakhalin in Russia. The Ain live (wholly or partially) in Russia and Japan. The exact number of his descendants is unknown. It is believed that they had European facial features, some of them, according to ancient chronicles, rarely but occasionally ancient chronicles say that they had eyes the color of the sea or the sky, and their women were very beautiful, which contributed to their rapid mixing. with the Japanese. They descended part of their genetics from Russian "slave" tribes that migrated from the eastern Urals and gradually mixed with the Mongoloids. European languages also descended from them. The great names of Siberia and Russia, including Sakhalin and the Koryaks and I Koryaks of Kamchatka, may have been rii-ainos'aryans. They are distinguished from the Hokkaido group by geological and rheological evidence: the first Hokkaido humans appeared 18 days ago. They differ from the Yamato group of Japan in that they have much more body hair, and their hair, which is mostly black, is sometimes brown, and in the past, according to old chronicles, it is said that occasionally some of them Few were born with blue eyes. It is believed that they descend from the Russian Slavs of the Urals who were expelled to the east, searching for the rising sun.
Please clarity The Ain-Pa Ainos are inhabitants of remote areas of Hokkaido former Polish island of Sakhalin in Russia. European facial feature according to ancient what chronicles, Russian "slave" tribes ...I Koryaks ...Russian Slavs of the Ural rising sun. rises every day everywhere in the world not especially Japan!
It's sad how much the Ainu identity has disappeared. It seems that integration into society was much harsher in Japan than in other places like the United States, where there are still speakers of native languages such as Navajo.
Actually the Japanese government of the time reached out to the American government for advice on subjugating and assimilating the Ainu like America had the Native Americans. They tried boarding schools like the US used but had less success due to the proximity of the Ainu children to their families being much closer (Tho it was still devastating to the language). Disease also played a huge factor as the japanese government forced massive relocations of ainu people which lead to huge death tolls. Arguably the only reason we still have languages like Navajo today is due to the fact that they were so large to begin with and that America has been pressured to grant recognition of them. It wasn’t until the past couple decades that Japan even officially acknowledged they HAD indigenous people as their stance has always been that they are an ethnically homogenous nation.
The only reason why the Ainu have had less success than Native American groups in maintaining their culture, is because unlike many indigenous American groups in the U.S, the Ainu were always very small in population. Therefore, it was far easier to destroy them.
Is there any Ainu language specialist in here? I would like to ask if we can consider the Ainu language completely extinct by now (there is not much clear and recent information online about this issue), and how likely is it that advocates and enthusiasts may achieve to revive it, given that it seems that the Japanese government has little interest in the matter? Thank you.
@@AJGress We will find out soon, you'll see. By the way, I discovered the other day a website which teaches you the very basics of Hokkaido Ainu, thoroughly, in a user friendly way; you've got to know already katakana, though; I can share the link here if you're interested. Anyway, have a good one, AJ!
@@AJGress Well, I posted my answer to you with the web address, but for some reason it's not showing up. I reckon it has something to do with it containing a url... go figure. Anyway, you may find the website by going to the "Ainu language" article in the English Wikipedia, and then, under the "External Links" section, looking for one called "Ainu For Beginners", by Kane Kumagai. I must point out that I found some very minimal discrepancies between some things I had learnt years ago from ethnic Ainus, and the materials in this otherwise excellent source. Probably the one that stands out the most is that the word for "dog" is given as "シタ", while I clearly and distinctly recall reading back in 2008 (a whole life ago, alas!) in a now-disappeared blog (it would be awesome if I had taken screenshots and/or copied and pasted what was shown there, right?) by a Japanese author with Ainu ancestry, that the word for "dog" is "セタ". And mind you, we are talking about the very same variety of Hokkaido Ainu in here. Makes you wonder... It also makes me wanting to have some sort of sci-fi device or software that kept a track of every single website I visit in my life, and kept a copy of the ones most likely to disappear in the coming years. Anyway, enjoy the Ainu lessons, and have very happy holidays, AJ!

Information: 1)Ainus are most likely related to Mongolians. (And Mongolians are in the Altaic family, which Japanese is also in it) 2)Their origin is not Japanese and they were harshly assimilated by the Japanese. 3)The Ainus are almost extinct, very little left. So, this video is a miracle. 4)Ainus migrated to nothern Japan from Siberia. You can tell they are not native. 5)Japanese got Ainus to their state with "Treaty of Saint Petersburg (1875)" 6) They had a religion named "Ainu no shūkyō", It is an animistic religion centered around the belief that Kamuy (spirits or gods) live in everything.
1) Altaic language family is widely disapproved by most linguists and it don't always mean that the people speaking related languages are genetically similar. 4) The Ainu are descended from Hokkaido Jōmon peoples who have intermixed with various Paleosiberian peoples such as the Nivkh, recent research says that around 79.3% of their ancestry comes from the Hokkaido Jōmon. Most modern Japanese people have their ancestry from the Yayoi peoples that migrated to Japan from the (as most people agree) Korean Peninsula around 300 BCE - 300 CE, and they had intermarried with the native Jōmon people which had once inhabited almost every island on Japan and lived as hunter-gatherers in the Jōmon period (~14,000 to 300 BCE) before being introduced to rice farming by the Yayoi culture.
The Altaic family has been widely disproven. Ainu people also may have possibly migrated through Honshu, before other Japanese groups arrived there, since we know that there were at least some Ainu living in Northern Honshu before Japanese people migrated to Japan.
@@MYHONESTREACTION400its not nonsense, neither proven as a language family however by all linguists but a lot still consider it so as well as European ones. There is really only 1 scientist thats fiercely against the theory.
Many comments on you tube seem to be fake because if you reply to them they ignore you they make claims in English but when you write Ainu language to fake comments to make it seem someone is interested in writing in Ainu but forced adds to try and force people to stop watching or that You tube does not show my comments to others do it for spite
Ainu, the northmost Nusantaran in Hokkaido and Sakhalin since the culture is Nusantaran like culture. Also, Hokkaido is the northmost Nusantara aka Temperate Nusantara (also known as Snowy Nusantara because the high snowfall precipitation) island (since Japan have significant Nusantaran cultures).
So, I just wanted to point somthing out to people who may find it interesting. At the end of the video where the elder was reciting sentences, that was an Ainu ghost story about an angry kamuey. They litterally cut the video short at the good part where the peices start meshing together from the storyteller/ listener's perspective. I know this because I listened to the exact story here on RUclips.
Why didn't the US sanction the Bantus of Africa for their genocide against the pygmies and San people? Why didn't the US sanction the Indo Europeans for their genocide and displacement of the Neolithic farmers?
those two elderly Ainu people really taking their time for you feels like such a precious gift, thank you so much for sharing that with us 💛

After I asked him about the words and he said he didn't know what they meant, he just memorized them and recited them.
If you ever have a chance to go to Hokkaido, the Ainu people are such great wood carvers, prepare to bring lots of money to buy lots of gorgeous carvings, because that is a main source of income. The Ainu food was also excellent, although there are very few Ainu restaurants.

They descended part of their genetics from Russian "slave" tribes that migrated from the eastern Urals and gradually mixed with the Mongoloids.
European languages also descended from them. The great names of Siberia and Russia, including Sakhalin and the Koryaks and I Koryaks of Kamchatka, may have been rii-ainos'aryans. They are distinguished from the Hokkaido group by geological and rheological evidence: the first Hokkaido humans appeared 18 days ago. They differ from the Yamato group of Japan in that they have much more body hair, and their hair, which is mostly black, is sometimes brown, and in the past, according to old chronicles, it is said that occasionally some of them Few were born with blue eyes. It is believed that they descend from the Russian Slavs of the Urals who were expelled to the east, searching for the rising sun.

Are there names and surnames that are purely from the Ainu language, or are there only records of them using Japanese names?

It's sad how much the Ainu identity has disappeared. It seems that integration into society was much harsher in Japan than in other places like the United States, where there are still speakers of native languages such as Navajo.
Actually the Japanese government of the time reached out to the American government for advice on subjugating and assimilating the Ainu like America had the Native Americans. They tried boarding schools like the US used but had less success due to the proximity of the Ainu children to their families being much closer (Tho it was still devastating to the language). Disease also played a huge factor as the japanese government forced massive relocations of ainu people which lead to huge death tolls.
Arguably the only reason we still have languages like Navajo today is due to the fact that they were so large to begin with and that America has been pressured to grant recognition of them. It wasn’t until the past couple decades that Japan even officially acknowledged they HAD indigenous people as their stance has always been that they are an ethnically homogenous nation.
The only reason why the Ainu have had less success than Native American groups in maintaining their culture, is because unlike many indigenous American groups in the U.S, the Ainu were always very small in population. Therefore, it was far easier to destroy them.
omg😳 it sounds like a mix of a polynesian language and a chukotko-kamchatkan language
Pleeeeease do old Marathi and old Konkani.
I want to hear her rest story TT
Is there any Ainu language specialist in here? I would like to ask if we can consider the Ainu language completely extinct by now (there is not much clear and recent information online about this issue), and how likely is it that advocates and enthusiasts may achieve to revive it, given that it seems that the Japanese government has little interest in the matter?
Thank you.
Replying because I wanna know too!
@@AJGress We will find out soon, you'll see. By the way, I discovered the other day a website which teaches you the very basics of Hokkaido Ainu, thoroughly, in a user friendly way; you've got to know already katakana, though; I can share the link here if you're interested. Anyway, have a good one, AJ!
@@joseignaciocastrovonrodrig5613 Oh yeah, please do. I'm N3 level at Japanese so I've got my katakana down a long time ago. Let me have a look
@@AJGress Well, I posted my answer to you with the web address, but for some reason it's not showing up. I reckon it has something to do with it containing a url... go figure.
Anyway, you may find the website by going to the "Ainu language" article in the English Wikipedia, and then, under the "External Links" section, looking for one called "Ainu For Beginners", by Kane Kumagai.
I must point out that I found some very minimal discrepancies between some things I had learnt years ago from ethnic Ainus, and the materials in this otherwise excellent source. Probably the one that stands out the most is that the word for "dog" is given as "シタ", while I clearly and distinctly recall reading back in 2008 (a whole life ago, alas!) in a now-disappeared blog (it would be awesome if I had taken screenshots and/or copied and pasted what was shown there, right?) by a Japanese author with Ainu ancestry, that the word for "dog" is "セタ". And mind you, we are talking about the very same variety of Hokkaido Ainu in here. Makes you wonder... It also makes me wanting to have some sort of sci-fi device or software that kept a track of every single website I visit in my life, and kept a copy of the ones most likely to disappear in the coming years. Anyway, enjoy the Ainu lessons, and have very happy holidays, AJ!
@@joseignaciocastrovonrodrig5613 Thank you so much for the effort! I very much appreciate it and will check it out soon. Happy holidays to you too, José!
Almost all content on Ainu language YT comments are all in English 1 or 2 in Ainu

This is definitely a language developed from austronesian, it sounds really similar to polynesian and javanese.

We need to preserve their language and study it, trace its origins and connections with other languages and how it evolved

Se-kor nea 'Even though we speak Japanese in our minds it is Ainu with kanji'
and hiragana, Ainu is written with only katakana
Information:
1)Ainus are most likely related to Mongolians. (And Mongolians are in the Altaic family, which Japanese is also in it)
2)Their origin is not Japanese and they were harshly assimilated by the Japanese.
3)The Ainus are almost extinct, very little left. So, this video is a miracle.
4)Ainus migrated to nothern Japan from Siberia. You can tell they are not native.
5)Japanese got Ainus to their state with "Treaty of Saint Petersburg (1875)"
6) They had a religion named "Ainu no shūkyō", It is an animistic religion centered around the belief that Kamuy (spirits or gods) live in everything.
1) Altaic language family is widely disapproved by most linguists and it don't always mean that the people speaking related languages are genetically similar.
4) The Ainu are descended from Hokkaido Jōmon peoples who have intermixed with various Paleosiberian peoples such as the Nivkh, recent research says that around 79.3% of their ancestry comes from the Hokkaido Jōmon. Most modern Japanese people have their ancestry from the Yayoi peoples that migrated to Japan from the (as most people agree) Korean Peninsula around 300 BCE - 300 CE, and they had intermarried with the native Jōmon people which had once inhabited almost every island on Japan and lived as hunter-gatherers in the Jōmon period (~14,000 to 300 BCE) before being introduced to rice farming by the Yayoi culture.
Though I have read that some groups of the Jōmon peoples have started an early form of agriculture.
The Altaic family has been widely disproven. Ainu people also may have possibly migrated through Honshu, before other Japanese groups arrived there, since we know that there were at least some Ainu living in Northern Honshu before Japanese people migrated to Japan.
@@jarekdupa687 Afaik, Altaic nonsense is still being taught as a fact in Turkey, no wonder why Turkish nationalism is so insane.
@@MYHONESTREACTION400its not nonsense, neither proven as a language family however by all linguists but a lot still consider it so as well as European ones. There is really only 1 scientist thats fiercely against the theory.
Whoa, phonetically it sounds like some sort of Armenian-Japanese hybrid language. Wild.
Ainu belongs to the Ainuic language family
Many comments on you tube seem to be fake because if you reply to them they ignore you they make claims in English but when you write Ainu language to fake comments to make it seem someone is interested in writing in Ainu but forced adds to try and force people to stop watching or that You tube does not show my comments to others do it for spite
Ainu, the northmost Nusantaran in Hokkaido and Sakhalin since the culture is Nusantaran like culture. Also, Hokkaido is the northmost Nusantara aka Temperate Nusantara (also known as Snowy Nusantara because the high snowfall precipitation) island (since Japan have significant Nusantaran cultures).
Pinagsasasabi mo?
So, I just wanted to point somthing out to people who may find it interesting. At the end of the video where the elder was reciting sentences, that was an Ainu ghost story about an angry kamuey. They litterally cut the video short at the good part where the peices start meshing together from the storyteller/ listener's perspective. I know this because I listened to the exact story here on RUclips.

Why USA didn't sanction Japan for the genocide against Ainu and Ryukyuan people?
I mean the US isn't too good about indigenous rights either
Why didn't the US sanction the Bantus of Africa for their genocide against the pygmies and San people? Why didn't the US sanction the Indo Europeans for their genocide and displacement of the Neolithic farmers?
sounds like japanese spoken by a pacific islander
