Even we Europeans would mess up,i think most people would just only know the languages that come from the same family as their own language and some of the most known languages in Europe.I would be clueless on the nordic languages,hell,i would even mess up a lot of the slavic languages even though i speak one of them
@@alladeenmdfkr2255 Yeah, but still, most Europeans would maybe get only one or two wrong out of ten. Many will have had contact with a lot more languages than your average American. In Switzerland I had classmates from Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, France, Ireland, Germany, Turkey, Czechia, Slovakia, Denmark, Russia, Serbia and Spain and I myself am Hungarian. I heard all of those languages at some point growing up and most I could positively identify. There are of course some European languages that are virtually identical and nobody, who doesn't really speak them will be able to tell them apart (say Slovak and Czech for example).
Sorry buzzfeed, but you should probably have chosen someone who are not completly clueless in terms of geography. One of them thought spain is located outside of europe

Finnish is extremely easy to recognise when you have heard it a few times; there is something about the general melody of that language that is very tenacious, so it gets stuck in your head. It also sounds really nice, so it is quite pleasant to listen to.

@@victorsamsung2921 Yeah, another example is also the guy on the RUclips channel "Hydraulic Press Channel". That guy has an extremely strong Finnish accent, and I am not sure if it is his natural accent or if he emphasises it a bit extra, but he sounds pretty badass.

Romanian probably IS the trickiest language in Europe, has a lot of influences and sounds like it could belong to multiple language groups. But what she said was kinda accurate it does sound like a mix between russian and french or Spanish (especially accent). It also depends on where in Romania you’re from, this woman spoke with a very standard Romanian accent, but take someone from moldova and all that “french vibe” is out 😂
Only the accent is different depending on the area. Also, the accent differences are extremely small if we are talking about big cities, but from different areas!
It might be just me, but Romanian is far from the most tricky ones, it's very clear that it's not Italian or Spanish and definitely doesn't sound slavic. The trickiest language would have to be any ex-yugoslav language (seriously they swear their languages are different, but you have to know the vocab to notice) or, like Czech and Slovak.
@@Aadrian7 i mean “tricky” in terms of “what language group does it belong to”. All the languages you’ve mentioned sound typically slavic and the vocab has nothing in common with any Latin language (with some exceptions of course) so even for someone who doesn’t speak any slavic language they are obviously slavic. I’m not even talking about “what language is it exactly” cause ofc for someone who doesn’t know the vocab it will be hard to differentiate those languages.. but with Romanian, people don’t even know where to start because they do hear the words and might recognise the similarity to other Latin languages, but they still get confused by the accent, which to someone who doesn’t speak Romanian or any slavic language, it does sound rather “eastern European”.
it doesn't sound like any of the languages you mentioned and there's nothing tricky ab it. it's a latin language with significant slavic influences, period.
Owlynx Kathi not at all i myself am from switzerland and portuguese sounds like a mixture of various diffrent languages to me and many people i know but not really much like spanish
Was kinda fun to follow and try guessing on my own (had to minimize my browser not to read the subtitles!). Kinda embarrassing to say as a European with a degree in languages but I only regognized two: Italian, because I've been there twice, and, oddly enough, Romanian which I've never heard before and only knew it was the only Eastern Romance language in existance. Pity you didn't include more sampled, I'd love to play along :)
as someone trying to learn romanian, i got super exited when i heard the last girl speaking it and i could make out some of the words she was saying and knew immediately that it was Romanian 😃
No it’s just that they are in Los Angeles and we first associate Spanish with Mexico and South America. I’m sure they are having a cringe because they know Spain is in Europe.

@@polinakovbenko Italian and French are linguistically related as well. And some words in some of these romance languages are the same, and are pronounced the same, but sound a bit different due to the accent. It's not hard to understand why someone can't determine what language Romanian is especially when ones ear isn't used to hearing it spoken often if at all. English is known and spoken worldwide. Romanian? Not so much. Hell, a British person would have trouble understanding what someone from Louisiana is saying although they're speaking the same language. Linguistics is complicated.

Even we Europeans would mess up,i think most people would just only know the languages that come from the same family as their own language and some of the most known languages in Europe.I would be clueless on the nordic languages,hell,i would even mess up a lot of the slavic languages even though i speak one of them
@@alladeenmdfkr2255 Yeah, but still, most Europeans would maybe get only one or two wrong out of ten. Many will have had contact with a lot more languages than your average American.
In Switzerland I had classmates from Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, France, Ireland, Germany, Turkey, Czechia, Slovakia, Denmark, Russia, Serbia and Spain and I myself am Hungarian. I heard all of those languages at some point growing up and most I could positively identify. There are of course some European languages that are virtually identical and nobody, who doesn't really speak them will be able to tell them apart (say Slovak and Czech for example).

there is something about the general melody of that language that is very tenacious, so it gets stuck in your head.
It also sounds really nice, so it is quite pleasant to listen to.

Romanian probably IS the trickiest language in Europe, has a lot of influences and sounds like it could belong to multiple language groups. But what she said was kinda accurate it does sound like a mix between russian and french or Spanish (especially accent). It also depends on where in Romania you’re from, this woman spoke with a very standard Romanian accent, but take someone from moldova and all that “french vibe” is out 😂
Only the accent is different depending on the area. Also, the accent differences are extremely small if we are talking about big cities, but from different areas!
It might be just me, but Romanian is far from the most tricky ones, it's very clear that it's not Italian or Spanish and definitely doesn't sound slavic. The trickiest language would have to be any ex-yugoslav language (seriously they swear their languages are different, but you have to know the vocab to notice) or, like Czech and Slovak.
@@Aadrian7 i mean “tricky” in terms of “what language group does it belong to”. All the languages you’ve mentioned sound typically slavic and the vocab has nothing in common with any Latin language (with some exceptions of course) so even for someone who doesn’t speak any slavic language they are obviously slavic. I’m not even talking about “what language is it exactly” cause ofc for someone who doesn’t know the vocab it will be hard to differentiate those languages.. but with Romanian, people don’t even know where to start because they do hear the words and might recognise the similarity to other Latin languages, but they still get confused by the accent, which to someone who doesn’t speak Romanian or any slavic language, it does sound rather “eastern European”.
it doesn't sound like any of the languages you mentioned and there's nothing tricky ab it. it's a latin language with significant slavic influences, period.

@@eolobrontolo9117 In my opinion only children's cartoons should be dubbed. I can't imagine Sophia Loren speaking Croatian. 🤣
@@danipetric5416 Hi, thank you for your reply.
During the fascist period, the governement imposed the dubbing of the foreign movies.
Today everyone is used to dubbed movies, so am i.
Film theorists argue that a dubbed movie is a different work than the original language movie.
After all, dubbing is an art and voice actors are artists ( e.g. Tina Lattanzi, Gigi Proietti and other )
Today there is no shortage of means to see a movie in the original language.
Thank you again and good night. 🙂
