To those confused about Ryan, its not necessarily that he's getting the answers wrong, he is in fact showing off some perfect examples of Irish, or at least Dublin humour, take it from a Dublin native. He's messing around with people by making them confused and making claims that seem half realistic, half absurd. Its hilarious when you've grown up with it but must be weird to other cultures. We Irish just love our sarcasm and irony, and I want Boyzone to go to Eurovision! I think everyone now needs a crash course of Father Ted to get this.
The Irish sense of humour is if you don't know something, you double down on it and make weirdly realistic yet wrong claims and that's what makes it funny, at least here in Dublin. He must think he's being hilarious.
Oh that Hungarian boygroup. I was so obsessed with them when I was a kid. Two of these guys still write songs for Hungarian entries XD They were very famous in Hungary 😀
This video reminds us the beauty of the different languages that Eurovision should be all about. A good song can do well and even win, even if it's not in English. Please send songs in their native languages, you can always have an English version or an English line. When most countries sing in English we lose that charm. Let's celebrate diversity 🙂
Sandro Ribeiro Actually not. Portuguese sounds *portuguese.* Period. Slavic languages don't "own" specific sounds. No branch, no language does; bc we all speak languages that have the same root. In this case: portuguese > italic-romance > *indo-european.* Inside the indo-european language family you'll find: *■ Extinct branch* ("dead" languages): *▪Anatolian* *■ Own, independent branches* (where _dialects_ form subgroups): *▪Albanian* *▪Armenian* *▪Hellenic* *■ Branches with few subgroups:* *▪Baltic** *▪Celtic* ■ And the *branches with a lot subgroups:* *▪Germanic* *▪Indo-Aryan* *▪Italic-Romance* *▪ Slavic** _(* sometimes found as a hybrid-branch "Balto-Slavic")_ Some of these indo-european languages cross non-indo-european families. For example: ▪ (Italic-Romance) *Galician & Spanish ~ Basque* (Basque) ▪ (Italic-Romance) *Italian ~ Maltese* (Semitic, Afro-Asiatic) ▪ (Slavic) *Ukranian ~ Hungarian* (Ugric, Uralic) ▪ (Baltic) *Lithuanian ~ Hungarian* (Ugric, Uralic) ▪ (Slavic) *Russian ~ Kartvelian** and *Turkic* language family. _(* where you'll find georgian btw)_ ... Now tell me how "pure" and "uninfluenced" all these languages are? They cross other language *families,* which means they were directly influenced. If you look at Portuguese and its lexical distances to other languages: ▪ *Port. ~ Galician* (very close, basically right next to it) ▪ *Port. ~ Spanish* (less than 25) ▪ *Port. ~ Italian* (30) ▪ *Port. ~ French* (39) All from the same branch, > Italic-Romance. Closest lexical distance to a different branch would be *Portuguese ~ Irish (celtic),* but *via Galician (80).* If Italian language would like to reach the Celtic branch: they need to go through *occitan - asturian - portuguese - galician **_...~ swim ~ ..._** irish* Slavic is a huge language family. If portuguese and french sound total different; expect the same case inside the slavic branch, inside all main branches. Althought italic-romance branch is even bigger _(remember the roman empire; with their empire they expanded also their lingua franca, called "latin")._ That _thing_ that a lot ppl associate with "slavic", when it comes to the _sound of portugese_ - it just a distinct feature of portuguese. Everyone has that. For example the many "sh's" that appear in portuguese - that's a "special" element in portuguese. It's _special,_ bc one of your neighbours (the spanish speakers) are literally *allergic* to "sh's". "Sh's" are mostly found in loanwords in spanish. For spanish speakers "sh" sounds "foreign" bc it's a unfamilar tone. "Sh" is found in many loansword from native american languages. Yet "sh's" are all over the place in english and german (germanic). In romanian the "sh" is found as *"Ş/š"* in the alphabet. It's also found as *"Sh/sh"* in the albanian alphabet, as *"Š/š"* (for example croatian) *"Ś/ś"* (polish), as *"Ш/ш"* (Cyrillic used by orthodox Slavs, like Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian). And of course also present in Georgian: *შ.* Also the *"dark l" (ł),* like in portuguese *"estre[l]a"* is found in - english (example: *"fu[ll]"),* - slavic languages, - in albanian (example: *"[ll]apë",* port.: "aba") and even in a - german dialect in *"Kö[l]sch" (port.: "Co[l]ônia"). - Georgian: *ლ.* I can hear a difference between russian and slovene, althought both are slavic languages. Still, russian does not sound identical to slovene. Just like spanish and italian don't sound the same. Listening to russian folklore; you'll hear the _caucasian_ in it. My music teacher was a georgian; his accent would be labled (by most ppl) as a "russian accent". It's not a "russian" accent; it's just the way georgian ppl speak. It might "look or sound russian" to some ppl - but it could be georgian... Сталин (Stalin) 😜

Olivia Mac Arthur this is very true, I'm from Wexford myself, it's just an Irish thing
It's very obvious sarcasm, and it isn't exclusive to the Irish
I'm from Portugal but I love this type of humour, lmao
Galway :)
In fact, Boyzone were the interval act back in Eurovision 1997 when Hungarian boyband partcipated, Roann Keating was host that year. :D
Ryan is obviously joking and y’all are still buying it. I can’t.
Ryan is cringing all Eurovision fans 😂
Ever heard of humour? Jokes? Sarcasm?
May Morgan But he's not funny :
Lovely Angel just cause you don't understand the humour doesn't mean other people don't find him funny
Ireland just won my vote.
Åri Eurovision thanks ahahah i know he's halarious
Not that we would have gotten anywhere but thanks
Let's all take a moment of silence for all the languages which transformed into anothers thanks to Ryan xD
Ryan is definitely doing it on purpose xD
Hilarious
Snowcold of course... he’s very clever! But Portugal he didn’t miss it!!!
Saying 'Opa' was his uncle Gary O'Shaughnessy's entry in 2001 was my fave :)
For sure
My fave is Boyzone comment
I love Ryan jajajajajajajajajjaajj
IS RYAN HIGH?

I guess he's just trolling
Yusuf it's the Irish sarcastic sense of humour lol

Yeah I realised the second time.... awks 😂
My opinion of Ryan just improved thousandfold
Omg Ryan HAHAHA
ryan is me
Ingvild Flato 100th like
Ryan what happened?
The Irish sense of humour is if you don't know something, you double down on it and make weirdly realistic yet wrong claims and that's what makes it funny, at least here in Dublin. He must think he's being hilarious.
Eurovision Estonia he's doing it on purpose
Good man yourself Ryan
I love how Ryan’s just trolling throughout the entire video.
Lol the Irish guy 😂
Leanne Simmons So what?
Leanne Simmons If I want
It's Ryan :) I'm from Ireland
He said that the Greek entry was Irish😂😂
"Hungary, of course! zs-sz-prsdkg" i mean, she's not wrong 😂
LindaK The way she was impersonating hungarian - that's how slavic languages sound to me 😂
lol, exactly my thoughts! xD Hungarian is more like eee-eee-éé-ee, lots of e-s and insanely long words
Xiao Bai ... don't forget the ö's and ő's tho.
However, I think hungarian sounds beautiful ♡
CENTRAL B., true. And thanks ^^
CENTRAL B. Hungarian is not even slavic lol it's finno-ugric like finnish.
Ryan must be drunk
What do you expect he is Irish
OPA! Simmer he's doing it on purpose. Irish humor I guess
I'm Irish but I'm not drunk nor have I ever been 😂 agus ansin d'ól mo Guinness
I'm The Last One Standing LOL
Obviously, he also made his brand of liquor, the "Ryan O'Hennessy" 😂💞

Olivia Mac Arthur haha so true
Lea Sirk is such a wonderful person - a european who knows how her fellow europeans speak.
I do find it ironic that she couldn't guess Portuguese when she wound up incorporating Portuguese into "Hvala, ne!"
Ryan lmao.
Gosh, Aisel is so beautiful 😍
KEREM - ESC hahaha no
Greek Power hahaha yes!
And her sticking her tongue out is cute
Finally someone who loves Aisel more than Ryan's trolling. Aisel is gorgeous, because she's Azerbaijani. (Me too.)

That girl with the pink hair is killing it.

Ireland.. WTF?? :DDDDDD
Hahaha its so funny to watch Ryan being so confident with the crap hes saying!!
*Icelandic song starts*
"AH! Something from the north...."
*guesses every single country from the north except Iceland*
The Pink haired girl knew almost everything. Nice :)
I love how all the South Slavic or Balkan nations can easily identify their neighbouring countries' languages. Pretty cool.
Should've made them react to "La Coco-Dance" which has the chorus is Tahitian.
00:19 and 01:12 This video just predicted the 1st and last place in esc
ABBA??? Rly?
I don't think Ryan's taking this seriously....
Lea thought Portuguese was actually Georgian. I love her (and Portuguese as well)
L. M Thats because our accent seams a bit of slavic, even If Georgia isnt.
Sandro Ribeiro
Actually not. Portuguese sounds *portuguese.* Period.
Slavic languages don't "own" specific sounds. No branch, no language does; bc we all speak languages that have the same root. In this case: portuguese > italic-romance > *indo-european.*
Inside the indo-european language family you'll find:
*■ Extinct branch* ("dead" languages):
*▪Anatolian*
*■ Own, independent branches* (where _dialects_ form subgroups):
*▪Albanian*
*▪Armenian*
*▪Hellenic*
*■ Branches with few subgroups:*
*▪Baltic**
*▪Celtic*
■ And the *branches with a lot subgroups:*
*▪Germanic*
*▪Indo-Aryan*
*▪Italic-Romance*
*▪ Slavic**
_(* sometimes found as a hybrid-branch "Balto-Slavic")_
Some of these indo-european languages cross non-indo-european families.
For example:
▪ (Italic-Romance) *Galician & Spanish ~ Basque* (Basque)
▪ (Italic-Romance) *Italian ~ Maltese* (Semitic, Afro-Asiatic)
▪ (Slavic) *Ukranian ~ Hungarian* (Ugric, Uralic)
▪ (Baltic) *Lithuanian ~ Hungarian* (Ugric, Uralic)
▪ (Slavic) *Russian ~ Kartvelian** and *Turkic* language family.
_(* where you'll find georgian btw)_
... Now tell me how "pure" and "uninfluenced" all these languages are? They cross other language *families,* which means they were directly influenced.

▪ *Port. ~ Galician* (very close, basically right next to it)
▪ *Port. ~ Spanish* (less than 25)
▪ *Port. ~ Italian* (30)

All from the same branch, > Italic-Romance. Closest lexical distance to a different branch would be *Portuguese ~ Irish (celtic),* but *via Galician (80).* If Italian language would like to reach the Celtic branch: they need to go through *occitan - asturian - portuguese - galician **_...~ swim ~ ..._** irish*
