This is the closest an English speaker can get to understand what it's like for Slavic speakers to hear other Slavic languages, or for a Romance speaker to hear other Romance languages.
I disagree, I speak English and Spanish and I can understand a decent amount of Italian, some French, and some Portuguese, but I barely understand a word of this. Idk about the Slavic situation though.
It's less influenced by Irish, It's more like Old English used to sound like or modern Frisian/Dutch. But the songs are influenced by old Irish styles yes I think
At first when he counted to 10 i was like ok this is quite similar to English and Dutch very easy but then it turned into this very unique language that i can't understand at all.
Holy crap it’s like I can understand it but not at the same time this is a weird sensation that I’m not used too. It’s like someone has their mouth full while trying to talk to me
Andjay 729 No the Normans brought english to ireland after 1169 so the language had heavy french influence already whereas the battle of hastings was in 1066.In fact if he had lost in the battle of hastings english would probably not have been spoken in ireland at all,since the anglosaxons never had really any designs on conquering ireland.
Audret deewani It comes from county wexford in ireland and even in county wexford its not well known let alone the rest of ireland and of course internationally.It was spoken in the barony of forth and bargy in wexford until the mid 1800s and never really spoken outside the barony which is in contrast to irish gaelic that was spoken all over ireland .
So, It's not an ancestral language of Irish English but another language derived from Middle English? First when i watched the vid, it looked quite similar to English so i thought it was kinda a dialect of Frisian.
It was a result of an unsuccessful attempt of Anglo-Norman barons to capture a piece of Ireland in the Middle Ages. They brought there some English peasants, who were left there, and their language has been developing independently.
It's a mystery as to how this language came about. I imagine it's how the native language combined with the English that was forced upon the Irish and as the stranglehold intensified, of course, standard English took over and subsequently, the native language was suppressed and declined.
Naijikom It came about because of a higher degree english settlement in this small area of county wexford where the native population was displaced to north wexford.There is actually very little irish in it not in vocabulary and not in grammar
@@nathanmerritt1581 Largely Normans, though most coming from the Welsh Marches and West England. Medieval French is fossilized in Ireland as well, as with the patronymic "Fitz." Names that start with "De" are also a giveaway, as with Delaney, Deveraux and Degidon.
@@seandegidon4672 Delaney comes from the gaelic name O' dunshlainge,the others are of norman origin .They are other names like lavelle that are gaelic but look french and there is McQuillin that is actually a gaelicised norman name.
@@nathanmerritt1581 It would have been a mixture of norman english ,anglosaxons and even flemish.A common name in south wexford is meyler a flemish name.
I haven’t figured out why some of this is hard for people to understand, but some of the translations presented are a bit… liberal in their interpretations. “Aar’s no gazb in him.” Would be more more aptly translated to “there’s no gas (or gasp) in him.” Breathe could be interpreted as gazb, but I don’t see why there’s the random addition of “of life” when it’s not present in the actual sentence.
Yola is mix of norn, norse, jutish saxon and gaelic irish. Great lang. Old norwegians in Ireland create it. The same people who created shetlandic and norn in shetland Islands.
nobbymorrris Not really we are more concerned with keeping alive our native celtic language irish which is on life support ,with the best will in the world this was the language of invaders.Besides you don't miss what you never knew you had in the first place,i have spoken to people in wexford even where it was spoken who never heard of it.Even in county wexford when it was spoken it was onlyspoken in a small corner of the south and irish was spoken in the rest of the county before modern english replaced both.
That’s pretty accurate, both scots and Yola descended from Middle English but I personally find scots wayyyy easier to understand than this. I have substantial knowledge with Germanic and Celtic languages and I can still only barely understand some of this. Very interesting stuff
Christ almighty; I speak both Irish and English and this is like having a stroke.
😂😂😂
So, bit like being a member if the DUP then?
@@nobbynoris hehe.
Rotfl 🤣
Fade teil
"There's no gasp in him" - what an evocative way to put it. I would love to hear more Yola text.
Wonderful reconstruction of rare languages!
I never thought I'd get to see Yola on here. This is absolutely fantastic!
This is the closest an English speaker can get to understand what it's like for Slavic speakers to hear other Slavic languages, or for a Romance speaker to hear other Romance languages.
I agree but it's probably either this or Tok Pisin.
You can also compare easily the feeling with English vs. Scots/Northumbrian even though they are way closer to English indeed!
Bro not really, I would say that Scots is a better example.
Why not German or Dutch, Afrikaans or Frisian?
I disagree, I speak English and Spanish and I can understand a decent amount of Italian, some French, and some Portuguese, but I barely understand a word of this. Idk about the Slavic situation though.
Sounds like the illegitimate child of English and Irish Gaelic, born in the Netherlands with a Danish accent
Lol
sounds arabic to me especially them throat sounds
@@WorkBiatch The "throat" sounds are actually from old English.
It sounds like im hearing Irish and English at the same time. Unique language
It's less influenced by Irish, It's more like Old English used to sound like or modern Frisian/Dutch. But the songs are influenced by old Irish styles yes I think
At first when he counted to 10 i was like ok this is quite similar to English and Dutch very easy but then it turned into this very unique language that i can't understand at all.
Not to be confused with the "Yolo" language, a dialect that has gone extinct from too many people Yolo speakers performing reckless actions.
It went extinct after like 2012.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for another marvelous language
This is amazing.
Wes þu hal, Cefin!
a cute sounding language
Fingallian was an English dialect spoken in north county Dublin as well. Both now extinct sadly.
My new favourite language
Well if you ever want help learning Its extremely easy to learn
Holy crap it’s like I can understand it but not at the same time this is a weird sensation that I’m not used too. It’s like someone has their mouth full while trying to talk to me
I didn't know about this one! Thanks
"Geoude Ariche!" from my side of the world!
If William the Conqueror had lost at Hastings, the English language would probably sound like this today.
Andjay 729 No the Normans brought english to ireland after 1169 so the language had heavy french influence already whereas the battle of hastings was in 1066.In fact if he had lost in the battle of hastings english would probably not have been spoken in ireland at all,since the anglosaxons never had really any designs on conquering ireland.
The is the closest an english speaker will get to a partially intelligable language.
Wow so yola is why my wexford friends always say 'quare'.
As a man form wexford my self that’s a quare language
Nice it's Middle English derived language like Scots and Modern English
I gave most the translations ^^
And its my voice :)
Interesting
There was a second one spoken in fingal county dublin, wonder if its possible to reconstruct that one aswell
I like this language
You should do the Amish languege or Pennsylvania Dutch! Plz!!
It’s weirddd. If you listen well and try to piece together stuff as you go it kinda makes sense.
wow asome
You just have to avoid the English transcript and think of English slang, ends up being more accurate than the actual English text.
Wow i didn’t know this language at all!
Audret deewani It comes from county wexford in ireland and even in county wexford its not well known let alone the rest of ireland and of course internationally.It was spoken in the barony of forth and bargy in wexford until the mid 1800s and never really spoken outside the barony which is in contrast to irish gaelic that was spoken all over ireland .
This is the FIRST time I saw a flag that has purple in it
Daniel Holowaty Its the flag of county wexford the wexford people and sports teams are nicknamed the yellowbellies because the yellow is on the bottom
So, It's not an ancestral language of Irish English but another language derived from Middle English?
First when i watched the vid, it looked quite similar to English so i thought it was kinda a dialect of Frisian.
Scots
yes it was only spoken in one county in ireland and not even the whole county just the far south
It was a result of an unsuccessful attempt of Anglo-Norman barons to capture a piece of Ireland in the Middle Ages. They brought there some English peasants, who were left there, and their language has been developing independently.
Really interesting!
As an English speaker, I can barely understand at all, around 40-50%
I can vaguely make out what he's saying
I can understand Scots almost perfectly, this however...
It sounds like Olde English. :)

This is English but with Irish Gaelic's phonotactics, interesting.
It seem the opposite of some modern gaelic speakers, who have a standard english accent. Here we have an anglic language with a strong gaelic feel.
This language script was dead. Because this Anglo-Frisian Langauge family. Was So old.
Finally!!! :D
Pls do common brittonic
There is no gasp in him
I haven’t figured out why some of this is hard for people to understand, but some of the translations presented are a bit… liberal in their interpretations. “Aar’s no gazb in him.” Would be more more aptly translated to “there’s no gas (or gasp) in him.” Breathe could be interpreted as gazb, but I don’t see why there’s the random addition of “of life” when it’s not present in the actual sentence.
How many speakers does this language have?
Nadine Gomez Its extinct for nearly 200 years.It was actually only spoken in the barony of co wexford in ireland probably no more than 100 square km
About a 2 or 3 madlads like myself
I’m from cork and I have family in Wexford and I never knew this existed
Thank you, William the Conqueror. Thank you so much.
YOLA LANGUAGE...
IS IT KINDA ORPHAN OF ENGLISH, RIGHT?
Where was this language spoken?
County Wexford, Kingdom of Leinster, Ireland. ☘
please make a dacian clip
Yola is mix of norn, norse, jutish saxon and gaelic irish. Great lang. Old norwegians in Ireland create it. The same people who created shetlandic and norn in shetland Islands.
I didn't understand a single thing, Scottish is way more intelligible than this.
Sounds like Danish backwards
Sounds a bit like German I can almost understand some of it
Serbian language next please
The closest true language to English.
I t must be very cathartic to the Irish viewers here to hear of a dialect of English which was driven into extinction . . .
nobbymorrris Not really we are more concerned with keeping alive our native celtic language irish which is on life support ,with the best will in the world this was the language of invaders.Besides you don't miss what you never knew you had in the first place,i have spoken to people in wexford even where it was spoken who never heard of it.Even in county wexford when it was spoken it was onlyspoken in a small corner of the south and irish was spoken in the rest of the county before modern english replaced both.
Whats his cautry
Me im scottish
My native language is American English and I can understand this pretty well lol. Why?
Sadly, it's already extinct
Wow nobody knew (sarcasm)
This must be the weirdest west Germanic language. No chance to understand anything, even the numbers are weird.
What English sounds like to somebody who doesn't speak English at all
*what irish people speaking english sounds like to ppl who dont speak english
scots is closer!
Scots is easier to understand
A mix of German, Irish and English!!
Looks like a combination of Gaelic and Scots
That’s pretty accurate, both scots and Yola descended from Middle English but I personally find scots wayyyy easier to understand than this. I have substantial knowledge with Germanic and Celtic languages and I can still only barely understand some of this. Very interesting stuff
Aye aye cin ye understond what ah'm saying the noo thin
Never know this language before. Sounds like Scottish.
Why would It not it is another Anglic language
To me this doesn`t sound like Gaelic.
DID NOT EXPECTED THIS TO BE IRISH LMAOOO
I hear bits of English, German and old English, but mostly it sounds like someone trying to speak English with a mouth full of marbles.
The accent sounds like Scottish Gaelic.
Sounds more Germanic than modern English
thats false it also had a lot of french influence. the reason you think that is because of the sound changes in english
Dear those who told me that this is English...I'm tired...
No one should call this a dialect of English. Some of if sounds a little bit like Middle English, but even then, that’s a stretch.
This is like reversed
like a english guy speaking strange english
Germany people try to speak English at British accent at irish
