Unknown Chinese isn't really a language. most people in China speak mandarin which was a language from the north. the ancient Chinese language were more like Cantonese nowadays. mandarin was a foreign language which was like Mongolian for Chinese people. after mandarin people invaded China , they forced Chinese to speak their language and cut their ugly ass haircut. and Chinese government considered mandarin as an official language was because it was easier to learn.
Unknown I’m Chinese and no it doesn’t sound close to Mandarin Chinese or any other Chinese dialect to me for that matter. In fact, most Chinese people would find some of the words in Mongolian language very hard to pronounce. That said however there has been some borrowing of loanwords between Mandarin Chinese and Mongolian throughout history due to frequent close contact. “Cherry” in Mandarin: 櫻桃兒 yingtao’r “Cherry” in Mongolian: интор intor “Peach” in Mandarin: 桃兒 tao’r “Peach” in Mongolian: тоор toor “Mushroom” in Mandarin: 蘑菇 mogu “Mushroom” in Mongolian: мөөг möög “General” in Mandarin: 將軍 jiangjun “General” in Mongolian: жанжин janjin “Candle/Wax” in Mandarin: 蠟 la “Candle” in Mongolian: лаа laa “Roadstop” in Mandarin: 站 zhan “Road” in Mongolian: зам zam “Vinegar” in Mandarin: 醋 tsu “Vinegar” in Mongolian: цуу tsuu “Cabbage” in Mandarin: 白菜 baitsai “Cabbage” in Mongolian: байцаа baitsaa “Princess” in Mandarin: 公主 gongzhu “Princess” in Mongolian: гүнж günzh Traditional Chinese weight measure: 斤 jin “Weight” in Mongolian: жин jin “Calendar” in Mandarin: 皇曆 huangli “Calendar” in Mongolian: хуанли huanli Just to name a few, there are in fact many more. It is said that the Chinese name for “Russia” (俄羅斯; Eluosi) is also a loanword from the Mongolian language, because the Mongolians first came into contact with the Russians and they could not pronounce the initial “R” consonant, hence “Russia” which is “Оросын” (Orosyn) in Mongolian has an additional vowel attached to it in the front which was later passed on to Chinese. Besides that, there are also some words in Mongolian which are directly translated from Chinese into Mongolian. For instance, “population” in Chinese is “人口 renkou” (literally “people mouth”). This has been directly translated into Mongolian “хүн ам” (hün am; “people mouth”). Other examples include “train” in Chinese which is “火車 huoche” (literally “fire car”) which has been directly translated into Mongolian “галт тэрэг” (galt tereg; “fire car”); and “corn” in Chinese which is “玉米 yumi” (literally “jade rice/grain”) which has been directly translated into Mongolian “эрдэнэ шиш” (erdene shish; “jade grain”). Even some of the national dishes of Mongolia and the Buryat region of Russia eg “buuz” (包子) and “khushuur” (火燒兒) are also Chinese loanwords. But Mongolian also contributed vocabulary to Chinese language including the word for “calf” (犢 du) and “mushroom” (蘑菇 mogu). Many Northern Chinese also add consonant particles such as “兒” (er/r) in what is known as “兒化音” or “子” (zi/z) behind words which did not originally exist in ancient Chinese, it is therefore possible that it is a feature borrowed from Mongolian into Chinese. There are also plenty of zh/ch/sh sounds, retroflex consonants in Mongolian which is similar to Mandarin Chinese, but ancient Chinese (Old Chinese) did not have these sounds and in many dialects spoken in Southern China today this feature has been preserved where “zh/ch/sh” sounds are omitted and replaced with “t/j” instead.
Mongolian is a completely different language from Russian - it sounds completely different. The only reason why Mongolian is written in the Cyrillic script (sometimes also known as the "Russian" alphabet) is because of the USSR. In Inner Mongolia (part of China), the Mongolian language is still written in the traditional script instead. Besides I realised there are very few English loanwords in Mongolian, if any at all. And if any of you are wondering - no; Mongolian is a completely different language from Mandarin Chinese, Korean or Japanese (not mutually intelligible AT ALL). It is closer to other languages spoken in Siberia & China such as Evenk, Oroqen, Manchu and Buryat (and possibly also Turkic languages like Turkish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz etc.)
Reasonable That’s why I added inverted commas to “Russian” alphabet, because the Cyrillic script was invented in Bulgaria by Saints Cyril and Methodius. The most widely spoken/written language in the Cyrillic script is Russian hence it is almost always referred to as the Russian alphabet in the west
If the Altaic languages proposal is true, then it would be related to Korean and Japanese. And it probably is slightly related to Chinese, just not much. Mongolia was controlled by China for centuries.
@@williamnorris6184 China was also controlled by diverse Mongolian tribes who got "sinicized" to fit Chinese history of imperial dynasties. As long as I know, Japanese and Korean grammar are mostly the same and my Mongolian and Turkish friends back when I lived in Japan confirmed that their language grammar was very similar. As for Chinese, there is no post position words as in Altaic languages, but the order of words in a long sentence are similar except for the predicate which comes after the verb.
William Norris when we controlled by Chine? I wanna know really...Plus, there is not even one in common word with China, even though we have been neighbors for centuries.
Just looking at the text alone, it feels like the cyrilic alphabet is struggling to facilitate this language with how complex its intonations are. It looks incredible
Im actually mongolian, born and raised in germany but i still understand mongolian even though i cant speak or write it since i have no idea how the grammar works, but it was so soothing just to listen to the interviewer talking in fluid mongolian, the people answering and seeing the capital city in the background. The whole comment section is so kind, complimenting the language and it actually makes me really happy to know that mongolian isnt that unknown, that there are people who actually learn and study it! This video made me homesick for a country that has never been and probably will never be my home, but i still give my thanks out to you!
thebaddestshapeshifter I’m studying Mongolian, even tho I live in America. It’s a real challenge, especially providing the lack of resources, but it’s definitely worth it to know such a unique language
Da Dank Ramen I'm Mongolian can speak Mongolian and English. Mongolian is so hard to learn for foreigners it's quarantine time so most people have time to learn foreign language
Thank you so much dear! I also born and raised in Mongolia! But ethnically i am Kazakh. But i love Mongolian language so much! Familiarity with these two languages open my thinking. Hope you visit Mongolia sometime

What an absolutely beautiful language. When I close my eyes, the pronunciation and vocabulary are so soothing. It may be a bit strange, but there's something about the Mongolian language that makes it absolutely relaxing and satisfying to listen to. 🇲🇳
If you know Japanese or Korean grammar and structure, the language is quite easy to learn, but the main challenge is hearing and pronouncing. For example, танилцах = to know, to be acquainted with танилц (verb stem) - ах (infinitive suffix) we add -уул- infix to make a causative verb танилц (verb stem) - уул - ах (infinitive suffix) => танилцуулах = to make sth known; to introduce
@No Yes Yes, grammatically, Mongolian is similar to Japanese. But the main challenge is the pronunciation and listening. 文法的には、モンゴル語は、日本語と似ているんですが、一番難しいのは発音や聞き取りです。 私は、自分も日本で買った本「詳しくわかるモンゴル語文法」でモンゴル語を習っていました。
newtonop with the internet the world has become much smaller. In my youth I used to learn history with a huge focus on European history. Now we need to know better also the history of other civilisation centers. I even observed that the modern book for the world history are much more like this. And keeping in touch with you helps enormously.
The Blues Lab Most linguists think the Mongolic languages are unrelated to any other family. I can't really explain to you why, but that's the general (qualified) consensus.
@@rusmn12 wow! I am from Guatemala :) in Mongolia people speak Kazakh? I thought in Mongolia people only speak Mongolian.How is the people of Mongolia? Thank you
@Oğuz Kağan The Japanese and Korean Altaic connection is a theory at best. Of Course Mongolian and Turkish (among others in the region) are certainly related.
@Glühfunke im from germany (and my mom is from mongolia so i can understand pretty much) and it doesnt sound like german at all 😂maybe u heard "treu" but it has nothing to do with german
Баярлалаа! I am at Ulanbataar now and being a volunteer for orphanages here. I've followed easy language for a long time since I'm learning German and French. And I am so surprised and glad that there is easy Mongolian now, and it's really helpful to me! Hope u guys can keep on making these good episodes. Cheers!
would i ever think that there are beautifull ladies, it's my first time i heard this unique language hearing for the first, i can't understand it without captions but with or without it i can understand her mystique smile and glowing beauty of the reporter and the wonderfull people she interviewed ... and needs no interpreter for smiles and happiness are universal languages written in our hearts thanks
Alex Eldritch It's just that original Turkic didn't sound like Mongolian, but after Turkic tribes assimilated with the mongol empire then the similarities occurred. I like researching this stuff, but a lot of people get very nationalistic and defensive if you say they're in anyway related to mongols or Turkic people etc.
Devin Tariel I still ask myself this question even after so much research, but were the original Turkic tribes solely Asians like the Mongols? Or were they some other people's who interacted with Asians and Asians adopted their Turkic language and customs, if so, then where were Turkic people's originally from? Where did they come from? Were they Asian people's? and what other ethnic groups were similar to the Turkic people's?
Korean is not an Altaic language, it never was and never will be. According to the United Nations Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Korean language is the world's most widely spoken isolate language, followed by Basque. Languages belonging to the same language family and sharing the same roots / origins tend to have similar basic vocabulary. However, by comparing Native Korean & Mongolian numbers alone, we can see that there are absolutely no similarities. 1-10 in Korean: Hana (하나), Dul (둘), Set (셋), Net (넷), Daseot (다섯), Yeoseot (여섯), Ilgop (일곱), Yeodeol (여덟), Ahop (아홉), Yeol (열) 1-10 in Mongolian: Neg (нэг), khoyor (хоёр), gurav (гурав), döröv (дөрөв), tav (тав), zurgaa (зургаа), doloo (долоо), naim (найм), yes (ес), arav (арав) In contrast, Hindi which is an Indo-European language shares similarities in its basic vocabulary with other Indo-European languages like Greek. 1-10 in Hindi: एक दो तीन चार पांच छ सात आठ नौ दस ek do teen chaar paanch chh saat aath nau das 1-10 in Greek: ένα δύο τρία τέσσερα πέντε έξι επτά οκτώ εννέα δέκα éna dýo tría téssera pénte éxi eptá októ ennéa déka Similarly for Chinese & Tibetan (both languages of the Sino-Tibetan language family) 1-10 in Mandarin Chinese: 一二三四五六七八九十 Yi er san si wu liu qi ba jiu shi 1-10 in Cantonese: Yat yee sam sei ng lok tsaat baat gao sup 1-10 in Tibetan: Chig nyis sum shi nga druk dun gya gu chu
This is the first time I've heard Mongolian and I must admit I am very fascinated! I really fancy the specific sounds but I find the Mongolian Cyrillic a bit confusing.
Ivelin T.The grammar is not bad at all. Also the words follow the cyrrlic letters. For example, in English, words like Island and Asthma don't sound like what they are written. In Mongolian language, such words don't almost exist. You can predict how the word will sound from the looks of it. I do think the sentence structure might be the hardest part.
@@PhanteusZ mongolian cyrillic is a WAY less predictable than that of Russian or, in comparison, English. In English you can at least predict a little bit close to the reality, at least the consonant part, in Mongolian it looks like a mess (no offence) I'm a Russian native speaker so I know Cyrillic very good, and I have been tracking on the subtitles along the whole video. The sound and the text dissynchronized so often that I assure no one except Mongolians themselves cannot read nearly as fluent. Take a random passage I stopped the video at: Original: Та ямар мэргэжилтэй вэ, оороо? (I do not have the barred O so I apologize) What a Russian native speaker has heard: Ха ямар мырыхчильтэ вэ оро? Another random example (randomly skipped through the video): Бага хэмжээгээр, Англиар бол бага зэрэг ярьдаг What have I heard: Багым дцээрэньк шлар ат пахты цэрэге артык (артык, well, is similar to ярьдаг, so I got where the end of the passage was) Another one random example to be assured: Хуухэд залуусын амрах цэцэрлэгт хурээлэн бас (straight у was not on my keyboard either) What have I heard: Хухтэ задэсэян армхаян цц (WTF IS THIS CONSONANT BURST OMG I'M OUTTA HERE) So now you believe me that it's absolutely unpredictable? Yes, there is a LITTLE correspondence to Cyrillic consonants and vowels, but it's absolutely not anywhere near letter-in-letter.
Kitulous you are so right! Mongolians (from what I have learned) to end reeeaalllyyy contract there words A LOT. So much so until it just sounds like spitting, or some words seem entirely skipped!
darude sandstorm - leider können wir dir nicht direkt auf deinen Kommentar antworten, da du die Funktion bei youtube deaktiviert hast :) Wir würden uns wirklich sehr freuen über eine Easy Kaszakh Serie.

Rename it please"verdammt kompliziert Mongolian" :) Can't wait to see someone willing to host Easy Romanian. Since you already have easy spanish, italian, french, usw, it's pretty wierd this latin language (romanian) to miss from the list. Cheers to Kari !
I did not expect to see this haha I've literally been watching a lot of the Easy French videos to practise my French. And they even have my native language on their channel. GGWP
Just found this video in my channel news feed. Didn't know a lot of my subscribers stumbled across my videos from this channel :D It's wonderful a lot people have keen interest in Mongolian language and history!
You idiot Orgil. You actually though I was " Dracul warzm ", or should I say " HongKonger Fighter ", " CantoneseTaishanesePride " so you blocked me ? Do you not remember I was the one who said to you he is every in Mongol-Turkic videos promoting his Sino-Mongol relationships. You can find me arguing with him in youtube videos since 2015. I have videos of me written in Hungarian language since 2011 on youtube and can show you. csatlakozva tarthatod a kapcsolatot Hülye Idióta nevű ismerősöddel és másokkal, You're cringry like many Kazakhs trying trying so hard to validate themselves Europeans and hoping you be treated better by mentioining your caucasian ancestry. I hope you one day cure of your inferiority complexes because I could definitely see what you're trying very hard to persuade people that you look Eurasians when in reality you look more East Asian than Kim Jong Un. Like honestly I expected Central Asians to have more pride because I didn't know you were even more whitewashed than the east Asians and southeast Asians. I guess the Russians really damaged your brains. I hope you have good christmast day and cure pf your psychological inferiority complex, stop lying on youtube, quora and promoting the idea that you don't look pure Mongolian.
Hey Orgil B, I wasn't going to reply to you since you blocked me but I came across these videos just today ( seen it years ago though ) . Since you're so infatuated with wanting to look like a Eurasian. I think you should look at these two videos on youtube : " Turkmen,Uzbeks,Uyghurs turks are eurasians " ....... "Uzbek and turkmen VS Eurasian people " They apparently uploaded by MongolandTamerlane who is apparently Mongolian. Not even Kazakh, Kyrgyz are considered Eurasian by his standard.
Please notice. This is an Ulaanbaatar accent. This accent tends to sound a little unclear comparing to countryside. As you can see on this video these people having a quasi russofied or anglified accent. I assure you. They won't accept it that they have accent. But when you go to country side and speak to those people you see these people have influenced accent. People from the countryside tends to sound more vivid or clear.
She either worded what she meant to say wrong (because it sounded like she was implying she was gonna teach him some) or she didn't understand what he was saying and just said "thankyou" to back out. Lol it was funny to watch.
This sounds nothing like my language. My language is Sakha(Yakut). Even chuvash and turkish sounds similar I can understand many words. But mongolian sounds totally different.
Wrong, Hungarians are a Uralic people, no relationship between Hungarians and Turkic people has ever been proven other than Hungarians simply being influenced by the Turks and that there used to be 7 Hungarian tribes and 3 turkic ones which became allied they were called Onogur (meaning 10 tribes) in the 9th century. Turks got incorporated into the Hungarian folk, but Hungarians are not inherently Turks.
Recently I heard a group of asian looking girls at the metro in Stockholm. They were talking in a language I couldn't wrap my head around what it was. As a language nerd I tried to exclude which asian languages it was not. Mongolian was the last one left, and I had no clue how it sounded. But now I finally know, such unique sounds and features. Very fascinating!
I think I heard За тэгээд in Ghost of Tsushima. There's a lot of Mongolian spoken in that game. It's actually the reason I looked into the Mongolian language. One thing the Mongolian soldiers say a lot is Доошоо
2:54 There's a literally an "n" and a soft marker in the middle of the sentence standing as its own work. How do you expect me to be fine with that? Also, I'm looking at the Asian version of Danish. Where did half of the letters go in the pronunciation?
Well, single consonants are a pretty normal thing. In Russian we have such prepositions as 'в' (in), 'с' (with) and 'к' (to), so it's pretty usual to Slavic people, and, apparently, to Mongols too (Mongolian is not a Slavic language (I'm emphasizing that if you wanted to blame me for that)).
I find the faces and culture of Mongols so beautiful and fascinating. They look oriental Asian with an European build with some European features. (may vary). Despite their Asian appearance they speak what looks and sounds like Russian! For someone who doesn't know much about people from Mongolia, they seem to me like genetical beauties with a culture so influenced.
Apparently the first women in this video is a Kazakh Mongol. She is the only one I though who is Mongolian that look mixed until I read she was a Kazakh (who I think represent like 3-5% of Mongolia population).
It’s worth noting that the usage of Cyrillic to write Mongolian is a relatively recent development originating from when Mongolia was a Soviet satellite during the Cold War; the Chinese-ruled parts of greater Mongolia still make some use of the original Uyghur-derived alphabet.
@@ichkaodko7020 Of course; it’s just that *some* people out there see Mongolian written in Cyrillic and incorrectly assume that either A. Mongolia had no writing system until the Russians came, or B. Mongolian is a Slavic language.
Wow this language is beautiful. It's very different to see people who have features that resemble East Asians to speak a language so different from what I speak.
Mongolian language is nothing like chinese russian, nor persian. Not even mutally intelligable. At least the reason why you put russian, and persian makes sense. But mongolian and chinese are utterly different
I am a Mongol who was born and raised in Afghanistan. I am so excited to hear Mongolian however I could not understand any word. I must learn my language but unfortunately no such an opportunity in Afghanistan.
it has some similarities how it sounds with....Georgian (tz and ch sounds, lot of consonants together), Azerbaijani (n, en and Turkic ı and upside Ə) and Icelandic(th and ll, how it sounds at the end of the word), anyone see the similarities? :)
I found myself questioning myself the other day, "Surely Mongolian doesn't work like Chinese. I'm pretty sure they're alien from each other," but I wasn't sure. I'm not familiar with languages of the area, and the Mongols did have enough interaction with China to have some exchange. This was an excellent example of spoken Mongolian. I'm surprised by the Cyrillic subtitles, but I'm guessing that came from the unwilling interactions that Russia and Mongolia had (I believe multiple times through history?). Utterly alien from Sino-based languages
There shouldn't be loud music. I'm trying to watch this from a library and I got a look for trying as this start. The music also made my head spin before being able to narrow in to take in the syllables.
There seems to be this sound I was hearing a LOT which, as far as I can guess, is made by spreading the back of your tongue out to touch your upper teeth on either side, blocking the air flow that way, and then releasing to make this sort of click-like sound. The only language I've heard a sound like that in was a tribal language in Mexico. I think it's called "Nahuatl". In fact, the way the "tl" in "Nahuatl" is pronounced with that same sound I was hearing in Mongolian here. So, Mongolian speakers, am I right? :)
oh wow. So beautifull language. My first place favorite language is Brazilian portuguese, and now Mongolian is the second one. Greatings from Moldova(Romania)
Mongolia has such an interesting and rich culture. I'm glad to see it develop the way it's doing now, but I hope they can keep that culture strong; not submitting to the West, to China or Russia.
As a turkish person living in France, I find this project very interesting. It is true that the best way of learning a language is to speak with natives. It especially helps for learning the idioms and expression of a language. Is there any way I could contact you guys to be part of this project? I'd like to learn more about it!
The languages from cold climates sound similar-you can slmost see the frosty breath emanating from their mouths. Must've been freezing for the Hungarians/Magyars.
Wow interesting. My good friend Tamir has taught lots of mongolian phrases. It is really cool to see mongolians speak them. Yu bain alaa? That means how you doing right?
Some words are similar. The city name f.ex. is present in Hungarian, bátor means brave-i have no idea what it means in Mongolian though. Magtal is similar to the word magasztal-to praise something. (literally 'praises') And i think i remember the numbers in the two languages were compared at some point in a video. Don't know about other similarities.
That's really interesting, at first I thought Mongolian was similar to Russian only due to the same alphabet, but now I notice it's totally different. I hope Mongolia develops even more its economy and also look for greener energy alternatives in order to reduce the pollution. Cheers from Brazil! :)
This is actually my first time ever hearing some mongolian and it's actually so different from what i expected.
sounds like a mix of turkish and russian, so it sounds horrible lol

I couldn't agree more 💗
You mean Mongolian sounds like ASMR 😁
If you know Japanese or Korean grammar and structure, the language is quite easy to learn, but the main challenge is hearing and pronouncing.
For example, танилцах = to know, to be acquainted with
танилц (verb stem) - ах (infinitive suffix)
we add -уул- infix to make a causative verb
танилц (verb stem) - уул - ах (infinitive suffix) => танилцуулах = to make sth known; to introduce
Your comment is very interesting and informative. Thank you!
@No Yes Yes, grammatically, Mongolian is similar to Japanese. But the main challenge is the pronunciation and listening.
文法的には、モンゴル語は、日本語と似ているんですが、一番難しいのは発音や聞き取りです。
私は、自分も日本で買った本「詳しくわかるモンゴル語文法」でモンゴル語を習っていました。
What a beautiful language. Mongolia has always fascinated me, ever since I learned about the Mongol Empire when I was a child.
A very interesting-sounding language! Kind of sounds like a mix of Turkish and Russian.
Ben DuMonde thats what makes it hard!
Ben DuMonde Thank you for watch. We will you show you more interesting videos like similarities between Mongolic and Turkic languages.
Ben DuMonde I"ve heard that Turkish and Mongolian are somehow in one bigger language family.
newtonop with the internet the world has become much smaller. In my youth I used to learn history with a huge focus on European history. Now we need to know better also the history of other civilisation centers. I even observed that the modern book for the world history are much more like this. And keeping in touch with you helps enormously.
The Blues Lab Most linguists think the Mongolic languages are unrelated to any other family. I can't really explain to you why, but that's the general (qualified) consensus.
I really dont know how people think it can sound korean. To me it sounds nooooothing like korean at all. 😂
Yep, sounds nothing related to Korea.
I think it sounds like Russian but with A LOT of consonants
I hear korean in a daily basis and nothing to do with it 💀
I agree I'm mongolian 🤣
It sounds closer to Russian than Korean hahahahaha
Mongolian sounds really intimidating, even when a delicate ladies speak it. No wonder everyone was shit-scared of them in the dark ages. :D
haha 😂
Respect from Inner Mongolia. Always hoping to improve my mongolian since I only learnt it at home without formal educations.
the accent is so beautiful, I was curious about how mongolian sounds and it's very interesting
Thank you :D
Wow I speak Uzbek and understand Turkish but when I listen to Mongolian I feel like I know what they are saying it really throws me off

@Oğuz Kağan The Japanese and Korean Altaic connection is a theory at best. Of Course Mongolian and Turkish (among others in the region) are certainly related.
First I thought it sounded like Russian, then German, then Finnish and then Turkish. I'm so confused...
You don not have an ear. It has nothing to do with russian, german, finnish and turkish.

Sound like a very harsh korean + turkish. Very interesting.
Mongolian, as well as Korean and Turkish, belong to Altaic family of languages. Well this family of languages is disputable, but none the less.
Alex Eldritch It's just that original Turkic didn't sound like Mongolian, but after Turkic tribes assimilated with the mongol empire then the similarities occurred. I like researching this stuff, but a lot of people get very nationalistic and defensive if you say they're in anyway related to mongols or Turkic people etc.
Devin Tariel I still ask myself this question even after so much research, but were the original Turkic tribes solely Asians like the Mongols? Or were they some other people's who interacted with Asians and Asians adopted their Turkic language and customs, if so, then where were Turkic people's originally from? Where did they come from? Were they Asian people's? and what other ethnic groups were similar to the Turkic people's?
aloe they were a mix of mongolid and eurasian.
Korean is not an Altaic language, it never was and never will be. According to the United Nations Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Korean language is the world's most widely spoken isolate language, followed by Basque.
Languages belonging to the same language family and sharing the same roots / origins tend to have similar basic vocabulary. However, by comparing Native Korean & Mongolian numbers alone, we can see that there are absolutely no similarities.
1-10 in Korean:
Hana (하나), Dul (둘), Set (셋), Net (넷), Daseot (다섯), Yeoseot (여섯), Ilgop (일곱), Yeodeol (여덟), Ahop (아홉), Yeol (열)
1-10 in Mongolian:
Neg (нэг), khoyor (хоёр), gurav (гурав), döröv (дөрөв), tav (тав), zurgaa (зургаа), doloo (долоо), naim (найм), yes (ес), arav (арав)
In contrast, Hindi which is an Indo-European language shares similarities in its basic vocabulary with other Indo-European languages like Greek.
1-10 in Hindi:
एक दो तीन चार पांच छ सात आठ नौ दस
ek do teen chaar paanch chh saat aath nau das
1-10 in Greek:
ένα δύο τρία τέσσερα πέντε έξι επτά οκτώ εννέα δέκα
éna dýo tría téssera pénte éxi eptá októ ennéa déka
Similarly for Chinese & Tibetan (both languages of the Sino-Tibetan language family)
1-10 in Mandarin Chinese:
一二三四五六七八九十
Yi er san si wu liu qi ba jiu shi
1-10 in Cantonese:
Yat yee sam sei ng lok tsaat baat gao sup

This is sick! Hahahaha. I've been so curious about Mongolia and its language. Continue doing this thing. Awesome.

icko yap same here. I agree with you :D
Unveil the mysteries of Mongolia! (It's mysterious for me as I have never heard somebody speaking Mongolian until you uploaded this vid. LOL)
This is the first time I've heard Mongolian and I must admit I am very fascinated! I really fancy the specific sounds but I find the Mongolian Cyrillic a bit confusing.
Ivelin T.The grammar is not bad at all. Also the words follow the cyrrlic letters. For example, in English, words like Island and Asthma don't sound like what they are written. In Mongolian language, such words don't almost exist. You can predict how the word will sound from the looks of it.
I do think the sentence structure might be the hardest part.
@@PhanteusZ mongolian cyrillic is a WAY less predictable than that of Russian or, in comparison, English.
In English you can at least predict a little bit close to the reality, at least the consonant part, in Mongolian it looks like a mess (no offence)
I'm a Russian native speaker so I know Cyrillic very good, and I have been tracking on the subtitles along the whole video. The sound and the text dissynchronized so often that I assure no one except Mongolians themselves cannot read nearly as fluent.
Take a random passage I stopped the video at:
Original:
Та ямар мэргэжилтэй вэ, оороо? (I do not have the barred O so I apologize)
What a Russian native speaker has heard:
Ха ямар мырыхчильтэ вэ оро?
Another random example (randomly skipped through the video):
Бага хэмжээгээр, Англиар бол бага зэрэг ярьдаг
What have I heard:
Багым дцээрэньк шлар ат пахты цэрэге артык (артык, well, is similar to ярьдаг, so I got where the end of the passage was)
Another one random example to be assured:
Хуухэд залуусын амрах цэцэрлэгт хурээлэн бас (straight у was not on my keyboard either)
What have I heard:
Хухтэ задэсэян армхаян цц (WTF IS THIS CONSONANT BURST OMG I'M OUTTA HERE)
So now you believe me that it's absolutely unpredictable? Yes, there is a LITTLE correspondence to Cyrillic consonants and vowels, but it's absolutely not anywhere near letter-in-letter.
@@Kitulous Mongolian Cyrilic has slight differences from Russian
Kitulous you are so right! Mongolians (from what I have learned) to end reeeaalllyyy contract there words A LOT. So much so until it just sounds like spitting, or some words seem entirely skipped!

You idiot Orgil. You actually though I was " Dracul warzm ", or should I say " HongKonger Fighter ", " CantoneseTaishanesePride " so you blocked me ? Do you not remember I was the one who said to you he is every in Mongol-Turkic videos promoting his Sino-Mongol relationships. You can find me arguing with him in youtube videos since 2015. I have videos of me written in Hungarian language since 2011 on youtube and can show you. csatlakozva tarthatod a kapcsolatot Hülye Idióta nevű ismerősöddel és másokkal, You're cringry like many Kazakhs trying trying so hard to validate themselves Europeans and hoping you be treated better by mentioining your caucasian ancestry. I hope you one day cure of your inferiority complexes because I could definitely see what you're trying very hard to persuade people that you look Eurasians when in reality you look more East Asian than Kim Jong Un. Like honestly I expected Central Asians to have more pride because I didn't know you were even more whitewashed than the east Asians and southeast Asians. I guess the Russians really damaged your brains. I hope you have good christmast day and cure pf your psychological inferiority complex, stop lying on youtube, quora and promoting the idea that you don't look pure Mongolian.
Hey Orgil B, I wasn't going to reply to you since you blocked me but I came across these videos just today ( seen it years ago though ) . Since you're so infatuated with wanting to look like a Eurasian. I think you should look at these two videos on youtube : " Turkmen,Uzbeks,Uyghurs turks are eurasians " ....... "Uzbek and turkmen VS Eurasian people " They apparently uploaded by MongolandTamerlane who is apparently Mongolian. Not even Kazakh, Kyrgyz are considered Eurasian by his standard.
Please notice. This is an Ulaanbaatar accent. This accent tends to sound a little unclear comparing to countryside. As you can see on this video these people having a quasi russofied or anglified accent. I assure you. They won't accept it that they have accent. But when you go to country side and speak to those people you see these people have influenced accent.
People from the countryside tends to sound more vivid or clear.
Would you like to learn monglolian?

This sounds nothing like my language. My language is Sakha(Yakut). Even chuvash and turkish sounds similar I can understand many words. But mongolian sounds totally different.
It almost sounds like some Native American languages, particularly the plains' languages like Lakota Sioux.
Caucasian
Mongolian sounds nothing at ALL like Lakota. It does, however, resemble Indee, the language of the Apache.
@@EarthenCavy I am not an expert on indigenous languages....that was what it sounded like to me. Sorry if I offended you.

Greetings from Mongolia
Wrong, Hungarians are a Uralic people, no relationship between Hungarians and Mongolians has been proven
Wrong, Hungarians are a Uralic people, no relationship between Hungarians and Turkic people has ever been proven other than Hungarians simply being influenced by the Turks and that there used to be 7 Hungarian tribes and 3 turkic ones which became allied they were called Onogur (meaning 10 tribes) in the 9th century. Turks got incorporated into the Hungarian folk, but Hungarians are not inherently Turks.
Recently I heard a group of asian looking girls at the metro in Stockholm. They were talking in a language I couldn't wrap my head around what it was. As a language nerd I tried to exclude which asian languages it was not. Mongolian was the last one left, and I had no clue how it sounded. But now I finally know, such unique sounds and features. Very fascinating!
I think I heard За тэгээд in Ghost of Tsushima. There's a lot of Mongolian spoken in that game. It's actually the reason I looked into the Mongolian language. One thing the Mongolian soldiers say a lot is Доошоо
Dooshoo means get down
Dza tegeed means So yes
Sain bna! Love Mongolia from Canada!
mongolian sounds so cool! more videos would be very welcome.
WOW! It sounds Slavic, a bit Turkish, mixed in with some Welsh [ɬ].
But it’s not Slavic? It’s Mongolic or “Altaic” if you still believe in that theory
This language is really exotic, sounds unique.
2:54
There's a literally an "n" and a soft marker in the middle of the sentence standing as its own work. How do you expect me to be fine with that?
Also, I'm looking at the Asian version of Danish. Where did half of the letters go in the pronunciation?
Well, single consonants are a pretty normal thing. In Russian we have such prepositions as 'в' (in), 'с' (with) and 'к' (to), so it's pretty usual to Slavic people, and, apparently, to Mongols too (Mongolian is not a Slavic language (I'm emphasizing that if you wanted to blame me for that)).
I find the faces and culture of Mongols so beautiful and fascinating. They look oriental Asian with an European build with some European features. (may vary). Despite their Asian appearance they speak what looks and sounds like Russian! For someone who doesn't know much about people from Mongolia, they seem to me like genetical beauties with a culture so influenced.
Apparently the first women in this video is a Kazakh Mongol. She is the only one I though who is Mongolian that look mixed until I read she was a Kazakh (who I think represent like 3-5% of Mongolia population).
It’s worth noting that the usage of Cyrillic to write Mongolian is a relatively recent development originating from when Mongolia was a Soviet satellite during the Cold War; the Chinese-ruled parts of greater Mongolia still make some use of the original Uyghur-derived alphabet.
@@umbrellashotgunman but doesn't change anything at all, khalkha dialect is same whether it is in cyrilicc or traditional script.
@@ichkaodko7020 Of course; it’s just that *some* people out there see Mongolian written in Cyrillic and incorrectly assume that either A. Mongolia had no writing system until the Russians came, or B. Mongolian is a Slavic language.
Wow this language is beautiful. It's very different to see people who have features that resemble East Asians to speak a language so different from what I speak.
realy realy interesting please dont give up! I wish one day i could speak mongolian!
вася пупкин Thank you. Good Luck :)
Good wish u will speak perfect
This is the video that was shown as an example of Mongolian language in geography now episode!
The only Asian country which language sounds like European
Tide Bleach What about all the Turkic countries? Their languages are somewhat intelligent with Turkish as they are closely related.
Yes their script is also same
Lol, what about the Chavacano language from the Philippines
D D yes, using the same alphabet does not mean you know all the languages in that. Like Japanese and Chinese.
Does this sound european to you? 😂😂😂
It sounds like the language is in rewind definitely one of a kind language
I now know how to type "OK" in Mongolian :
"3a" hehe
@Andrew Wayne 3a is Za, in Cyrillic the 3(non number) is a z and the A is well an A
@@Evil_Mesalon I know Mongolian is not like Russian but it's interesting how that word is similar to the Russian word for 'yes' which is 'da'.
@Andrew Wayne З is a letter from alphabet it reads as Z
also it looks similiar to three number

Dear Aika, are we listening the Khalkha dialect? Thanks in advance and congratulations for this episode!
Jaime Eduardo Gallegos Castillo Yes, You're listening Khalkha dialect. We will show you more interesting videos. :)
dr jegc yes most Mongolians speak in Khalkha dialect
Most Mongolians in Mongolia, rather.
@@damian_madmansnest well, quite amount of inner Mongolians speaks almost identical dialect too so it makes the Khalkha a majority.
@@ichkaodko7020 Not identical, therefore, no it does not.
When you combine Russian, Chinese and Persian language all together, you get this. Super cool.
And arabic
not Chinese they not said Ching Chong
Mongolian language is nothing like chinese russian, nor persian. Not even mutally intelligable. At least the reason why you put russian, and persian makes sense. But mongolian and chinese are utterly different
Whaaaa what persian what arabic? What chinese lmao, does totally zero sense
This is absolutely fantastic! Please keep recording new videos!
Very interesting. I don't understand why the name of the city is transliterated as Ulan Bataar if the "l" is pronounced like an "s" sound.
I am a Mongol who was born and raised in Afghanistan. I am so excited to hear Mongolian however I could not understand any word. I must learn my language but unfortunately no such an opportunity in Afghanistan.
Are you a Hazara?
it has some similarities how it sounds with....Georgian (tz and ch sounds, lot of consonants together), Azerbaijani (n, en and Turkic ı and upside Ə) and Icelandic(th and ll, how it sounds at the end of the word), anyone see the similarities? :)
I found myself questioning myself the other day, "Surely Mongolian doesn't work like Chinese. I'm pretty sure they're alien from each other," but I wasn't sure. I'm not familiar with languages of the area, and the Mongols did have enough interaction with China to have some exchange.
This was an excellent example of spoken Mongolian. I'm surprised by the Cyrillic subtitles, but I'm guessing that came from the unwilling interactions that Russia and Mongolia had (I believe multiple times through history?). Utterly alien from Sino-based languages
I hope to visit it so soon
very interesting video. also the city is very nice. just visited in google street and wow. I want to go
Raul Gonzalez thank you for watch we will continue it :))
I came here from Geography Now! Mongolia looks so beautiful, I’d love to visit sometime from USA.
Спасибо, отличный видео
There shouldn't be loud music. I'm trying to watch this from a library and I got a look for trying as this start. The music also made my head spin before being able to narrow in to take in the syllables.
Love the agglutination... There are similarities with Turkic languages.
There seems to be this sound I was hearing a LOT which, as far as I can guess, is made by spreading the back of your tongue out to touch your upper teeth on either side, blocking the air flow that way, and then releasing to make this sort of click-like sound. The only language I've heard a sound like that in was a tribal language in Mexico. I think it's called "Nahuatl". In fact, the way the "tl" in "Nahuatl" is pronounced with that same sound I was hearing in Mongolian here.
So, Mongolian speakers, am I right? :)
I will visit Mongolia someday.
What ever happened to the Easy Italian from Berlin series from like a month ago?
Sounds like a Slavic version of Greenlandic. Really interesting!
it´s just me or some times the spoken speech differs from the written language? at 3:04 on the end of the writting it says дээ but I hear like тытэх
Interesting sometimes it has a similar melody like French but not like in France itself more like from marroko or so...
That sound they make with the root of their tongue is really amazing
oh wow. So beautifull language. My first place favorite language is Brazilian portuguese, and now Mongolian is the second one. Greatings from Moldova(Romania)

As a turkish person living in France, I find this project very interesting. It is true that the best way of learning a language is to speak with natives. It especially helps for learning the idioms and expression of a language.
Is there any way I could contact you guys to be part of this project? I'd like to learn more about it!
Wow that is a beautiful language 💗 I had no idea… sounds like a very purposeful, precise and easily flowing language 👍🏻
Cool. I'd like to learn this language If I had more time.
As a German, somehow this sounds a bit like Swiss to me.
The languages from cold climates sound similar-you can slmost see the frosty breath emanating from their mouths. Must've been freezing for the Hungarians/Magyars.
Wow interesting. My good friend Tamir has taught lots of mongolian phrases. It is really cool to see mongolians speak them. Yu bain alaa? That means how you doing right?
Oh boy, he taught you a vulgar word. It means "wassup, cunt?". Don't say the last word and it's fine. By the way, it is not "how you doing".
I am laughing so hard right now at this old comment
oohh myy goddd hhahaha that means what up pussy
that's so funny whaha
Woooww I'm interested in it even though I'm Mongolian. Keep going 💪 Mongolian is easy.
Wait a minute! Is it Turkish-Russian mixed language?
Mongolian is a Altaic language, including Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Tungusic and Magyar languages.
Magyar Hungarian is Uralic
Altaic languages dont exist.
Some words are similar.
The city name f.ex. is present in Hungarian, bátor means brave-i have no idea what it means in Mongolian though.
Magtal is similar to the word magasztal-to praise something. (literally 'praises')
And i think i remember the numbers in the two languages were compared at some point in a video.
Don't know about other similarities.
It kinda sounds like greenlandic?
thanks! interesting language
+Martian Luvr you welcome thank you too
That's really interesting, at first I thought Mongolian was similar to Russian only due to the same alphabet, but now I notice it's totally different. I hope Mongolia develops even more its economy and also look for greener energy alternatives in order to reduce the pollution. Cheers from Brazil! :)
Time to learn Mongolian. Би Монголдоо хайртай!!!
