  • Welcome to another one of my random geography and culture facts videos. So I made this video instead of writing my paper on why the Soviet Union collapsed and now its late. So if you’re like me and going to procrastinate what you’re supposed to be doing right now then I guess you might as well learning something.

    Fun fact
    Since Brazilian Portuguese wasn't influenced by French like European Portuguese, the language remains pretty similar to Galician Portuguese, to the point schools often make children study the letters written during Brazil's discovery in 1500, and they're rather easy to understand

      @@SimonSenaviev Yeah. Mostly. Something that did go to Brazil was the glotolization of the R which eventually became an aspiration here (I'm not sure if "aspiration" is the correct word, I mean that the R at the beginning of words and RR conjuction sound like the English H in "house")
      (Only in some dialects, others keep the thrilled R)
      (This probably came to Brazil by late 19th and early 20th century portuguese migrations)

    I believe that there's a theory that suggests Spongebob and all the characters are based on mutation from all the nuclear testing, hence the weird life, as they live in Bikini Bottom, which means they'd live in the sea somewhere around Bikini Atol. There are multiple clues in the series that would suggest this.

    I lived in Galicia for a year and it was interesting learning a bit about their language! There definitely were places that spoke more Galician or spoke more Spanish. Since then I have started learning Portuguese. Galician was heavily influenced by Spanish since becoming a part of Spain centuries ago, and as a result it seems like Portuguese vocabulary with Spanish sounds. Nearly all of the Portuguese vowels and consonants that make it distinct from the sound of Spanish are gone, with the exception of a couple open vowels and the letter x, which is pronounced like the English "sh". There are debates as to whether it's a separate language from Portuguese, and there are some teachers in schools that are trying to introduce Portuguese orthography into lessons (replacing x with j, among others) and having kids write letters to kids in Portugal.

    You forgot to mention that Sahara is the Arabic word for desert, so you’d better procrastinate that paper some more and reshoot this video.
    Alternatively, if you wish to segue back into your paper, note that Białowieża, the name of the forest where Yeltsin, Shushkevich, and Kravchuk met to dissolve the Soviet Union, is Polish for White Tower. (The Belarusian and Russian names for the forest, Белавежска and Беловежска, mean the same thing)
