Loved it, we actually got watching this series for a homework (czech high school students) and it was one of the most pleasant ones! so i will finish writing in my czechglish and just say - thanks!
10 years later and another Czech student is watching it as a part of homework and as well preparation for the final high school English exam... Funny :D
I wish each of these videos were 10 minutes long
Great series! Thank you for sharing.
absolutely brilliant!
i wish there was MORE! This had me laughing for a little over ten minutes!
great fun and educational!
Clive's dulcet tones brought it home
I like that you thanked the creator of this video that means you are a(from my nolage) kind person.
well that was pretty much the best 10 minutes of my day
Loved it! Thanks + keep them Coming...!!!
Thank you for this info.
@chrissomerry English gets its name from the Old English word "Englisc." It was used to describe the language of the Angles, from which we also get the name "England." Here's the origin of the word "Angle" given in my Macbook's Oxford American Dictionary:
ORIGIN from Latin Anglus, (plural) Angli ‘the people of Angul,’ a district of Schleswig (now in northern Germany), so called because of its shape; of Germanic origin, related to Old English angul.
Excellent.
This was a really lekker presentation. Baie dankie. :)
I want more of that.
Brilliant!
You forgot about Frenglish, which you will find really exists, once you meet Franco-Ontarians or other Franco-English across Canada
@rawssremix "Ic libbe in seo middle of Englaland" Except for the declined definite article, that sentence is still kinda similar!
I think it should be called the "Common Tongue," because, well, why not?
Because more people speak Mandarin and Spanish natively, at least by the data Wikipedia has
Very funny, and informative too!
very cool.
"but if someone does think up a new name for it, it should probably be, in chinese" IM ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING
That part really got me too!
And I’m responding 12 years later!!! 😂🫣🤣
Holy crap. I'm amazed that Singlish is actually featured in this.
It is safe to assume that indi- and chinese English have more speakers than spanglish do. It's just a matter of numbers
Now what do i watch?
"long time no see"! hahaha at least it's precise and understandable
Readers of fantasy books already know the new name: "Common". You _know_ someone's going to do it.
Ooo thank you for this information and .... It is very funny and brilliant hahahaha😄😄😄😄
Laughed a lot during that Dan Brown joke
@aLuminousLight Omnish?
I understand there are different satandards of English, i.e., Sandard Britsh English, Sandard American English, Sandard South African English, meaning that each English speaking country has its own standard of the language. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
All in all, I guess the Tower of Babel effect is still on. :)
Haha singlish! I feel so honoured. No one on RUclips ever considers this part of the world much.. Haha :)
Hmm, If the English language evolves, i hope they turn all the words into how they sound not letters that have no correlation with the sound. Ha
examples: ''Apple'' (A-p-ull) ''Create'' (kriˈeɪt) ''Previous'' (pri:viəs) ''Ability'' (əˈbɪlɪt)
Blur listed under Singlish. I see what you did there OU. :)
yaaaaaaaay Urdu was there too :)
what does chinese at the end has to do with this? 为什么最后他提起中文？
Perhaps we shall name it
Babel
@TheGefro Instead english should have a new alphabet or they should create new letter with diaritcs, the Czech alphabet is a prime of example it can cater for its language without any problem, English is being imprisoned by the latin alphabet and is stopping it from expressing its self.
I'm not quite sure about the last point. What does China have to do with calling English by its name?
I will now name it: Thinglish
How about Worldish?
@EliteOfTheRad Yeah, we should i dont know what lead the English to go all simple, the old english alphabet is best, th has to represent many sounds th as in the, th as, th as in thought, The old english alphabet has it all,
rofl epic stuff!
English should be renamed "Basic" its how its know in many scifi's...
@SaintCog [brɪljʌnt] would be the correct phonetic spelling.
epic it is so epic
not the poem epic the Omg this is so awesome english
Standard English and American English, due to the fact Americans felt the need to "simplify" the language
Listen to the part: "...and if we are honest, steal..." (I'd add: not only words for the language! Wath all the chapters, where they can't deny their pirate history, even eating our MALVINAS ARGENTINAS.
I thought it was called, 'Merican.
It's raining english.

Did the narrator really have to finish the mini-documentary with an inflammatory remark?
YEAY!!! MALAY!!!!...
Swing l
But it does have have a name. It's Global English.
Really?
Where's filipino english ?????
@ADIMM0 we should go back to using the Old English spelling system. This whole "th" and "ch" business is just stupid.
Because English is a nationality, as well as a language.
That is like saying, why don't we call Spanish, Mexican instead?
English will likely just absorbed Cantonese, and Mandarin. Then we can call it Terran.
IMHO(which is a abbreviation I just learned from this video), Chinese is a better language for human being. Although Chinese characters are much more complicate than English letters, each one of them contains a large amount of information. You only need to learn 1,000 Chinese characters for reading Chinese news paper, where you need to have at least 15,000 English words to read a English newspaper that have the same content.
Por que no Spanglish? Ay carumba!
This is great...makes me wish I were teaching again just to share this! (NOT!!!) :-)
how abot polglish
Quem está aqui e é da ferreira de castro ponha gosto :p
and Swenglish
what
Umm ... this is straight up ripped from a textbook ...
import English.uk
No way is Chinese going to become a global language.
Which chinese? there's like 10 of them
hahah singlish :D
lol nice singlish.
presumably the fact that most english speakers live in china
This is simplistic, grating, and rather offensive.
what a really reallyy stupid comment.. just showing off your inability to laugh and see the amusing side of the history of english... ppl like you are the ones who want to make life on this planet boring... up yours. hauhuaa
that's all you can get in 10 minutes, I'm afraid
