There are a bit less than 300k inhabitants in French Polynesia and most of them live in Tahiti. 300k is not that small honestly.

Much love for the last guy, as a Polish guy, i really admire Ukrainians who started to speak Polish as well after they moved here. It just warms my heart. В школе немного выучил русский, но кроме кириллицы мало что помню BTW. Its really confusing to hear your OWN native language after hearing spanish, deutsch, russian, english etc. and then out of nowhere you recognise its your freaking native language being spoken, but your brain is like lagged and looking for all those different vocal patterns, despite you hearin what you hear everyday, but it feels odd, like foreing language, still for those few seconds.
@@PuerRidcully No, he was Ukrainian, his Polish had quite a bit of an accent, but he did actually speak it (not just speaking Ukrainian and trying to make it sound like Polish). So, I can speak Polish, English, French, Russian, and some Spanish, Portuguese and Czech. I thought I would try to learn Ukrainian next as it would give me a chance in such a contest. Turns out the Polish I started with is all I really needed. BTW. Same observation, when he spoke Polish I understood it but for a moment couldn't figure out why. Interesting phenomenon! Cheers.
@@George-2115 as someone who speaks Ukrainian, you would learn it very easily if you already speak Polish, Czech and Russian. I understand almost everything that is said in Polish because I speak Ukrainian. The languages are surprisingly similar, and speaking russian means you are already sort of familiar with the alphabet. It's really easy for Ukrainians to learn Polish, I'd imagine it works in reverse too. You are already better than the Wouter guy in my books if you actually speak those languages. The guy is a fraud only knows 3 phrases in 27 languages and speaks english+dutch from what I've seen lol.
@@apollo5261 So, sure, I can guess and understand 60 to 70%. But to speak it is a different question. So, FYI, my Polish is fluent, with Russian have good knowledge of grammar, so-so vocabulary. Czech I studied for one year at University, but no real practice since then. I actually find it easier to guess at Ukrainian than Czech (something about the cadence of it always throws me).
Don't feel too bad about giving money for the Urdu, his Urdu was extremely Punjabi-influenced if not just straight up Punjabi, and Punjabi is definitely a different language from Hindustani (Hindi/Urdu). If I was there I would speak Hindi/Urdu for fun but would not expect to be paid for it; I can speak a few sentences in Punjabi and would try my luck with those, since y'all already speak Russian, Spanish, and German 😆 Hindi and Urdu at a colloquial level are practically identical, although there are many word pairs where one word is used more often in Hindi and the other in Urdu (for example, family in Hindi is usually "parivar" but in Urdu it is usually "khaandan"). Most speakers of one language will know what you mean even if you use the other language's preferred word, though. The advanced vocabulary can be very different, and the scripts are different, but in general they should be counted as one language (Hindustani).
@@vishalsyoutube Punjabi is also spoken in Punjab Province of Pakistan with urdu as their official language so that's y he sounded like that. I've a friend from Pak who speaks Urdu plus Punjabi and has a strong Punjabi accent.

Saying "I love languages, I can't speak it very well but I can understand it" doesn't mean "to speak" that language. It means you know just few phrases in that language. Congrats.
If that was the case, then people who know them would just try to say the most confusing and difficult thing they could. Any native speaker could probably confuse even B2 speakers if their objetive was to not being understood. I'm Spanish and I'm sure most people who learn it wouldn't understand me if I began speaking with subjuncitves and obscure words that almost no one uses.
Urdu and Hindi are two different languages that are similar but not identical. Urdu has more loanwords from Arabic and Farsi, whereas Hindi has more Sanskrit words. Nowadays, Hindi speakers use a lot of Urdu vocabulary for which they even lack the letters in their script. Some of the letters are even difficult for them to pronounce. In fact, Bollywood uses many Urdu words in their films and songs, such as "Rab/Allah/Khuda" instead of "Bhagwaan." People who want to see the difference should watch dramas, and news in both languages. Someone in the comments even claimed that Urdu speakers understand 95% of Hindi, which is completely false. I once tried to watch a science lecture in Hindi, but I couldn't understand it. Furthermore, Standard Urdu and standard Hindi are completely different.
I speak Hindi as a second language since it’s my mother tongue (but not fluently). I have lots of Pakistanis where I live and I’ve been able to communicate with them just fine with what Hindi I know; however, I’m very reliant on subtitles when watching Bollywood movies which is probably for the reason you stated
Hindi speakers use a lot of Arabic and Farsi vocabulary not Urdu Vocabulary. We bengali Also Use lots of Arabic and farsi Vocabulary just like hindi speaking people do when they talk.
@@apollo5261 Yes, he does. He could easily take his knowledge of the basics and become fluent in no time at all if he moved to a region where the language is spoken. He focuses on learning many languages instead of learning each one well. He's fluent in 6 languages and knows many others. Fun fact: You can forget your native language if you don't practice. Even as an adult. But you can easily pick it back up again. Polyglots don't keep all languages at 100%. But if immersed in that language, they will easily become fluent. But of thet stop practicing, it will fade. But then it comes right back after reviewing and immersion.
7:24 This dude 100% work in Poland, he's polish is good, but your translation was bad : "Przepraszam ale ja nie rozumiem po angielsku" "I'm sorry but i don't understand english"
Urdu and Hindi have very similar structures and many shared words. If someone does not use very complex vocabulary, then a Hindi speaker and Urdu speaker can communicate very effectively. But the second either person starts using more "proper" phrases, Hindi and Urdu drift very far apart!
I think dialects of Chinese should be included, because many are unintelligible to standard chinese (Beijing Dialect), like Cantonese (Spoken in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and in surrounding areas) or Hokkien (Spoken in the area around Xiamen and Taiwan) Most dialects are dialects of dialects of Middle Chinese that diverted from it 1000s of years ago.
I speak fluent English and Mandarin and I understand more words in German, Dutch and Spanish just from guessing than I could Cantonese. In fact I can listen to a 1 minute speech and understand absolutely nothing. So yea, should count.
Yeah it's because of the way it's classified in Mandarin. Any language that is different from the standard is called 方言 which means "language/speech of another area" in Mandarin, but this mixes up Mandarin dialects (e.g. Beijing Mandarin, Sichuan Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin) with the other distinctly separate Chinese languages (Cantonese, Hokkien, Wu, Hakka, etc.), which also have their own dialects of Mandarin. Quite confusing That guy at 5:40 made the mistake of saying Qingtian was a 'dialect', because it's a dialect of Chuqu Wu, a different language, not a dialect of Mandarin. He would've gotten the money.
How do we differentiate between a country with many languages and a language that has many dialects? Like what can be count as a different language or dialect? I have a hard time to differentiate between the two. My language officially is only one but depending on which part of the country you live, the way it is spoken will be different which in this case would be dialects but unless you're from that part of the country or are familiar with it, there's no way you would understand it since they have their own vocabs which are very different from our official language, so shouldn't that be counted as a different language then?
@@Gummeyy It comes down to how inherently different the languages/dialects are. A dialect continuum can result in dialects that aren't mutually intelligible, yet still share the same distinct features of the language. Vocab is only one part, you also take into account things like syntax, phonology, grammar, then there are more complex branches like semantics and pragmatics (relating to meaning, context, interactions).

I want to take advantage of the video to explain the situation of one of the languages that appear: Euskara or Basque. (2:00) It is a co-official language (with the same rights and obligations as spanish) of the Basque Country. A large part (not all, it should be emphasized) of the spanish community wants to make it disappear, from the Govern of Spain they are trying to eliminate the university degree of Basque philology, in the administration they are underestimating it... We are more than a million Basque-speakers, and we must all take care the languages of the world... I hope that through this comment I can originate some movement so that the Basque language can survive and retain its rights. Thank you all.
If we want to create more peace in the world, we should be more like these guys. The human mind is wonderful. I am so jealous. I wish I could do what they do. I'm old.
Notice : Most of the Chinese think their languages are "dialects". So 99% of the Chinese can not get the money although actually they are speaking a different language from Mandarin. Some Chinese languages like Cantonese, Hokkien, Shanghainese, Hakka, Mandarin, the difference between them as much as between Spanish and French or English and German.
Jest mi zao, ali pravilo je da ako ne prica taj jezik, da ce dobiti pare, a covek ocigledno prica, sto nije razumeo to je druga stvar, verovatno mu treba vise da bi skontao o kom se jeziku stvari kad covek prica 20-30+ jezika

So, you didn’t understand Croatian at all, you thought it was Ukrainian, and then you didn’t give her the money because you supposedly speak it. In my opinion, "speaking" a language is equivalent to being completely proficient in it, so native or near-native level, but that’s just me. To each his own, I suppose.
Come on, you don't need to be near-native level to say you speak a language. Being fluent, aka being able to understand and speak about most topics is the general consensus to say you "speak" a language (aka ~B2 level). It doesn't mean you speak perfectly (or even that you can understand all natives all the time when they speak super colloquially, remember that native speakers also have trouble understanding each other sometimes). In this case though I agree she should at least have gotten half the prize.
You definitely don't need to be near native level to claim that, but I do agree that if he didn't understand her that she should have gotten the money.
She was too fast to response "no it is Croatian". I am sure that if she wited a little bit even Peter louldn't guessed it, despite he is actually speaks ir😂
2:42 Hahaha girl said "I want to be a journalist one day in 5, 6 years". She spoke very fast and she chose a very interesting sentence because when you mix very fast speech and that sentence it is very difficult to understand what language it is because the sentence is difficult
The microphone gain went from very quiet to terrifying my cat, Sniffles. I play your videos on my studio PC, through very powerful speakers. Quite funny watching Sniffles run out of the room though!
6:01 he's actually not speaking Urdu - he was speaking Punjabi, I don't know why he didn't just say Punjabi. He switched to Urdu after you asked him if he spoke Urdu lol
Next challenge: the guys fly to NZ and hold this sign up at the Otara markets. They lose every time because of all the nesians & asians, but we feel so bad taking money from them that the guys never have to pay for food or accommodation.
if Swiss-German and Urdu counted as their own languages, Qingtian dialect should have too. It's Wu Chinese, completely mutually intelligible to Mandarin.
That was an awesome project. I am still suprised about the rare languages which the strangers spoke. That was amazing! Good luck with your new projects.

Urdu and Hindi have very similar structures and many shared words. If someone does not use very complex vocabulary, then a Hindi speaker and Urdu speaker can communicate very effectively. But the second either person starts using more "proper" phrases, Hindi and Urdu drift very far apart!
But the funniest fact was that the guy spoke niether Urdu nor Hindi. He spoke punjabi😂
@@bzchii7474 exactly! except for the last part were he says - main Urdu bol raha hoon. 😆😆
Simplesmente fantástico, melhor dupla de todas❤️
Even though I don't speak any language they don't speak I kind of want to try this challenge and I don't know why.
I think dialects of Chinese should be included, because many are unintelligible to standard chinese (Beijing Dialect), like Cantonese (Spoken in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and in surrounding areas) or Hokkien (Spoken in the area around Xiamen and Taiwan) Most dialects are dialects of dialects of Middle Chinese that diverted from it 1000s of years ago.
I speak fluent English and Mandarin and I understand more words in German, Dutch and Spanish just from guessing than I could Cantonese. In fact I can listen to a 1 minute speech and understand absolutely nothing. So yea, should count.
Yeah it's because of the way it's classified in Mandarin. Any language that is different from the standard is called 方言 which means "language/speech of another area" in Mandarin, but this mixes up Mandarin dialects (e.g. Beijing Mandarin, Sichuan Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin) with the other distinctly separate Chinese languages (Cantonese, Hokkien, Wu, Hakka, etc.), which also have their own dialects of Mandarin. Quite confusing
That guy at 5:40 made the mistake of saying Qingtian was a 'dialect', because it's a dialect of Chuqu Wu, a different language, not a dialect of Mandarin. He would've gotten the money.
How do we differentiate between a country with many languages and a language that has many dialects? Like what can be count as a different language or dialect?
I have a hard time to differentiate between the two.
My language officially is only one but depending on which part of the country you live, the way it is spoken will be different which in this case would be dialects but unless you're from that part of the country or are familiar with it, there's no way you would understand it since they have their own vocabs which are very different from our official language, so shouldn't that be counted as a different language then?
@@Gummeyy It comes down to how inherently different the languages/dialects are. A dialect continuum can result in dialects that aren't mutually intelligible, yet still share the same distinct features of the language. Vocab is only one part, you also take into account things like syntax, phonology, grammar, then there are more complex branches like semantics and pragmatics (relating to meaning, context, interactions).
Lol imagine African languages............ nobody studied and nobody knows
thats so funny that you thought the CHILD said "kurwa" hahahaha
The guy can't speak croatian. He should have given her the money.
Ποοοοοοο ρε φίλε,ελληνικά!!! Άντε γεια ρε φίλε,μπορεί να μην είμαστε πλέον και καμιά υπέροχη χώρα,αλλά έχουμε φανταστική γλώσσα! Αγάπη από Ελλάδα,love your channel so much! 👍
Yes, you do!
Greek he dosent understand/cannot respond correct yet,they deserved the money
I'm Nz Māori and I'm pretty our Tahitian brother said, 'what's your name? And he grew up in Valencia.'
-Minä rakastan sinua
-Hyvä
Lol that was funny! He actually said good but the subtitles said nice
0:16
Give the money to the guy because yall couldnt say a single word properly
So nice, he's a genius
So many languages in the Philippines and he speaks my native language of Ilonggo 🙃 my dreams are shattered to win in this game 😂
I want to take advantage of the video to explain the situation of one of the languages that appear: Euskara or Basque. (2:00)
It is a co-official language (with the same rights and obligations as spanish) of the Basque Country. A large part (not all, it should be emphasized) of the spanish community wants to make it disappear, from the Govern of Spain they are trying to eliminate the university degree of Basque philology, in the administration they are underestimating it... We are more than a million Basque-speakers, and we must all take care the languages of the world... I hope that through this comment I can originate some movement so that the Basque language can survive and retain its rights.
Thank you all.
After really long time, we could see many different languages, also unknown languages to you being spoken by the people! Cheers
If we want to create more peace in the world, we should be more like these guys. The human mind is wonderful. I am so jealous. I wish I could do what they do. I'm old.
Notice : Most of the Chinese think their languages are "dialects". So 99% of the Chinese can not get the money although actually they are speaking a different language from Mandarin. Some Chinese languages like Cantonese, Hokkien, Shanghainese, Hakka, Mandarin, the difference between them as much as between Spanish and French or English and German.
The way u ask them to keep speaking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta learn more languages, save some money!!!
Also the number of Dutchies thinking they could pull one over on one of their own is quite funny 😂
I'm so surprised 😲 someone came to you guys speaking my native tongue in Bicol. It's the Southern part of the Philippines, so cool😅
Ne verujem da su pokrali devojku iz Hrvatske, iako prica hrvatski nije je razumeo, lepo je pricala 😂
pa i nije ako ćemo biti iskreni...
Bilo je po jedinom pravilu, šta se može
Sta se moze
Jest mi zao, ali pravilo je da ako ne prica taj jezik, da ce dobiti pare, a covek ocigledno prica, sto nije razumeo to je druga stvar, verovatno mu treba vise da bi skontao o kom se jeziku stvari kad covek prica 20-30+ jezika
Jeste, nije bilo fer. Medzutim ona se je sama sebe zajebala tako brzo da odgovori "ne hrvatski" I ovaj pametnjakovic Peter nije joj dao pare. Zaninljiva star je da je on u jedan drugi svoj video nije pogodio makedonskog, predpostavijo je da je srpski, hrvatski ili bosanaki hahaha pocrkah od smeha! Znate da je on Bulgaria I da 99% bugara tvrde da je makedonski jesnostavno bulgarski hhahah sto naravno nije istina into se jasno vidi 😂😅
So, you didn’t understand Croatian at all, you thought it was Ukrainian, and then you didn’t give her the money because you supposedly speak it. In my opinion, "speaking" a language is equivalent to being completely proficient in it, so native or near-native level, but that’s just me. To each his own, I suppose.
Come on, you don't need to be near-native level to say you speak a language. Being fluent, aka being able to understand and speak about most topics is the general consensus to say you "speak" a language (aka ~B2 level). It doesn't mean you speak perfectly (or even that you can understand all natives all the time when they speak super colloquially, remember that native speakers also have trouble understanding each other sometimes). In this case though I agree she should at least have gotten half the prize.
You definitely don't need to be near native level to claim that, but I do agree that if he didn't understand her that she should have gotten the money.
She was too fast to response "no it is Croatian". I am sure that if she wited a little bit even Peter louldn't guessed it, despite he is actually speaks ir😂
That croatian didn't count, poor girl needed those 20euros.
Chinese languages really are different languages. They’re only called dialects for political reasons (as with Italian).
Man, i really wish i could go up like, "Puhukko nää suomea, hehehe....?
as a fellow Polynesian, i knew immediately he was a poly lol
2:42 Hahaha girl said "I want to be a journalist one day in 5, 6 years".
She spoke very fast and she chose a very interesting sentence because when you mix very fast speech and that sentence it is very difficult to understand what language it is because the sentence is difficult
The little kids say HURA not KURWA bro 😂
Wouter’s Finnish sounds perfect!! Keep practicing Wouter!
A lot of people don’t believe me. When i say I speak finnish
The microphone gain went from very quiet to terrifying my cat, Sniffles. I play your videos on my studio PC, through very powerful speakers. Quite funny watching Sniffles run out of the room though!
A great collabo....I wish Lingualizer did such a collabo with the late Laoshu 50500...may he rest in peace.
Gora Euskadi eta bere jendea, Europako handienak 💪💪💪
(Basque/Euskera)
6:01 he's actually not speaking Urdu - he was speaking Punjabi, I don't know why he didn't just say Punjabi. He switched to Urdu after you asked him if he spoke Urdu lol
No she didn’t Peter 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
VASQUE has entered the chat
Next challenge: the guys fly to NZ and hold this sign up at the Otara markets. They lose every time because of all the nesians & asians, but we feel so bad taking money from them that the guys never have to pay for food or accommodation.
She didn't say urra she said hurra which means hooray in polish. 😂 But good to know that they know ours curse words. It was funny when he said kurwa😂.
5:40 He should've just spoken it lmao. Qingtian 青田话 is a Chuqu 处衢 dialect of Wu, not Mandarin. It's a different language
if Swiss-German and Urdu counted as their own languages, Qingtian dialect should have too. It's Wu Chinese, completely mutually intelligible to Mandarin.
The problem is the Chinese boy heself thought that his language was "dialect". If he said "it is a language", then 99% he could get the money.
Perkele se puhuu Suomea
3:09 no one else heard “this n-word man” 😂😂
fr
Me lol 😂
Scottish Gaelic like wtf is that lol
I was wondering whether they spoke Polish (my language) and in the end I was like damn I think he actually spoke very well they sounded pretty native
This makes me want to learn a really obscure language just for the €20
does anyone find themselves laughing there heads off no matter what the Lingulizer video is, makes me want to study even more languages.
Wouter's Finnish is so funny, but respect
Huono Suomi
I am guessing that maybe that couple is working for CNI (Spanish secret service). They keep watching you in every video.
I can watch this all day
