🇬🇧 Guys, I apologise for using the map that shows the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia. At the time of making the video, I just took a random pic from google and was like ok it works. Sorry! Glory to Ukraine! ------------------ 🇺🇦 Друзі, я перепрошую за використання мапи, де окуповані українські території показані як російські. Коли я робив це відео, я просто взяв випадкове зображення з ґуґлу і вирішив, що воно цілком норм. Вибачте! Слава Україні!
You mean native russian territories occupied by ukraine in 1991 and reunited with russia after ukraine started genocide of people on those territories?
I confused myself with Portuguese and Russian yet I guessed Navajo correctly lol. Also I only knew it was Icelandic because they said Iceland mid sentence.
Okay, I'm a native Spanish speaker. I got tipsy and decided to do this. After Japanese, I got dissociated thinking about other things, then I remembered to pay attention when the second person was about to finish speaking. And from the half a second I actually heard, I thought RUSSIAN. I saw the answer and I was flabbergasted. I always heard people say that Portuguese sounds like a Russian trying to speak Spanish but never understood, to me Portuguese was just Portuguese. I can't say I don't get it now hahahaha second time I heard it I understood everything but I had an epiphany hahahaha
Considering it's EU Portuguese though, I wonder if I would have NOT thought it was Russian if it had been Brazilian Portuguese, since I'm much more exposed to it.
Dayum I'm on a roll... got number 5 right, as well as 6 (I'm writing these as I get them, I'm so excited now hahahah), okay I see 3 stars so it can't be Turkish, so Kazakh? .... I got 7 wrong then hahahah I did hear "Iceland" and before the answer I was like "I'm wrong aren't I..." for 8 I have no clue tbh, sounds slavic but it can't be.... welp, still Indo-European LMAO xD, 9 has to be dutch, goddammit.... no longer on a roll, 10... Hindi?? :C not Hindi.... 11, this IS Kazakh right? ok this got too hard hahahahah, 12 everything sounds turkic to me, HOW does NAVAJO sound TURKIC to me?????? damn
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, but after was total lapsus memoriae. Icelandic sounds like Swedish or Danish, Czech like Serbian or Croatian, Tuvan like Kazakh or Uighur, Punjabi like Hindi, Yiddish like one of German dialects, Kurdish like Persian, Navajo like Tibetan. Haha
Dude I guessed a lot like you, the easy ones I got right except for Hungarian. The rest I got really close. For icelandic I guessed Sweden, for Czech I guessed ukrainian because I had no idea, for Yiddish I said it sounds German but not quite German, and so on
The language spoken in anime is actually very unnatural. It's overly styled to make characters stand out and overly emotions. Nobody speaks like this in real life :) It makes Japaness chuckle whenever they hear a foreigner speaking Japanese that they had learnt through anime. The actual Japanese is very monotone. Listen to some Japanese interviews or street polls to get the feeling of it :)
Guessed the Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, I have talked to a Czech and I can even understand a big part of the words but I didn't manage to guess it except the language family of course, I guessed the language family of Icelandic and Kurdish too, thought that Yiddish sounds so German but not German
1. Japanese (Correct). I know a little Japanese and it's very easy for me to understand. 2. Russian (Wrong, Portuguese). It looked a lot like Russian to me and that's why I made mistake. 3. Russian (Correct). I just guessed right. 4. A European language (half right 😄, Hungarian). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was. 5. Thai (Wrong, Vietnamese). The tone of speaking of Southeast Asian countries is very similar. 5. A European language (half right, Czech). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was. 6. Nothing (Wrong, Icelandic). I couldn't recognize it at all. 7. Kurdish (Correct). I'm from Iran and many of my compatriots are Kurds. That's why I recognized it easily. 8. Hebrew (Wrong, Yiddish). I know that these two languages aren't directly related to each other, but they seem to be a little similar. 9. Hindi or Urdu (Wrong, Punjabi). They are very similar. 10. Turkey's Turkish (Half right, Tuvan). It's a language of the Turkic language family, but it's not a well-known language. Just from it tone and words, I thought it was Turkey's Turkish. 11. A Native American language (Half right). I had previously seen some videos about Native American languages, so I understood that this language belongs there, but I didn't know which language it is.
My guesses (12/6): 01 Japanse - correct 02 Portugal - correct (sounds like Russian but with some Spanish-like words) 03 Russian - correct (sounds like Russian but without any Spanish-like words) 04 Hungarian - correct (my mothertongue) 05 Vietnamise - correct (sounds like ding-dong-king-kong) 06 Ukrainian - incorrect (I caught the word 'ukraine') 07 Icelandic - correct (Beacuse of the 3 stars I was also thinking of Faroese) 08 Afghan? - incorrect (I caught the word 'talabani') 09 Dutch - incorrect (a lot of German words but clearly not German) 10 Hindi - incorrect (I knew it was an Indian language) 11 ??? 12 ???
@@Anaa38of course it doesn't for you, because you are native speaker. I'm russian native speaker and can say the same, but i understand why other people think that way. For me, Portuguese sounded like some east European language, maybe romanian

You don't speak Japanese if you love Nickelback and fucking Lincoln park, you're just a weaboo who "loves" Japanese culture and wishes he spoke Japanese.
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Kurdish, Yiddish, and Navajo. I knew Punjabi was South Asian but guessed Rajasthani when the guy mentioned Rajasthan. I also knew Tuvan was Turkic but ended up guessing Uighur. Funny enough I got Hungarian way wrong. I guessed it was a weird Armenian dialect or a member of one of the Caucasian language families lol
okay, so here's my attempt (SPOILER WARNING): 1. japanese (CORRECT) - it's just sooo recognizable, there was no way it was something else 2. polish (WRONG - portuguese) - idk the way the reporter said certain constonants sorta reminded me of that 3. russian (CORRECT) - also pretty recognizable 4. hungarian (CORRECT) - guessed it INSTANTLY cuz I'm a native lol 5. thai (WRONG - vietnamese) - basically it was a 50/50 between thai and vietnamese, should've went with my gut feeling 6. czech (CORRECT) - we were definitely in the central european area, and it didn't sounded like polish, so it was either czech or slovakian, but mid-sentence I've just heard "ano" and "dobry den" and I was like "yup, czech for sure!" 7. icelandic (CORRECT) - gotta admit the first reason I've guessed that is because I've heard "icelandic lava" lol, but in my defense, it also sounded like if you were to mix norwegian and celtic together 8. yoruba (WRONG - kurdish) - i was way off... 9. yiddish (CORRECT) - it absolutely sounded like old german with a jewish accent, so it had to be that 10. urdu (WRONG - punjabi) - we were definitely on the hindustani area with this one... but there are a lot of languages in that area, and it wasn't hindi for sure cuz it would've been too obvious, well... it wasn't hindi, or urdu 11. armenian (WRONG - tuvan) - I really heard some russian and some turkic influence in it so I was like "somewhere in the caucasus" 12. ainu (WRONG - navajo) - That one was really hard for me, and I've really had no idea what it could've been
i got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Icelandic, Kurdish, Yiddish, Punjabi right -I speak Persian, Swedish, English and a little French +learning italian
I got Japanese immediately, then Portuguese, I had some doubts about Russian being either Russian or Ukrainian but still got it right, got Vietnamese, Punjabi cause that's my own language, Icelandic cause the newscaster said the word "Iceland" Others were so not mainstream languages that I never would've guessed, also I confused Yiddish with High German 😂
1. Japanese (Guess correctly because I studied Japanese in high school) 2. Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese distracted me a bit but when it said 'tres dias' I'm almost certain that it is Portuguese from the Europe) 3. Russian (Correct. No doubt it's Russian) 4. Blank (I have no idea as to where this language from but certainly has Europe vibe in it) 5. Vietnamese (Almost guessing Thai but its 'tong-tong' kind of rhyme suggest me that it's Vietnamese) 6. Certainly a Slavic language but wasn't sure so I go for Ukrainian 7. Icelandic (I guessed a Germanic vibe in it but wasn't sure until it said 'Icelandic', so I go for Icelandic) 8. It has Central Asian or Middle-eastern vibe but wasn't sure 9. Guessing Flemmish or Frisian language but I was wrong again 10. I'm almost certain that it's one of the language in India and I'm sure it's not Hindi and I go for Urdu but I was wrong 11. Just guessing that it's has mixed of Turkic and Slavic vibe in it but wasn't sure what language is spoken 12. I'm guessing either African language or Native American language and I go for the latter
I guessed: Japanese (I've watched enough anime to recognize it) Portuguese (It's my mother tongue) Russian (I'm not fluent, but I've heard russian in movies)
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Icelandic. I didn't guess right Yiddish but I knew it was a language from the German family. Also I hadn't heard about Tuvan but when I heard it I was like "It sounds like Turkish but it's not". (I have been learning Turkish for years, so I know.) But at least I knew it was a part of the Turkic family. I'm ashamed I didn't recognize Hungarian. I love this language. 😔
My guesses: 1. Japanese 2. Portuguese 3. Russian 4. Czech (x) 5. Vietnamese 6. Turkmen (x) 7. Icelandic (because they said iceland) 8. Azerbaijani (x) 9. Guessed some sort of Dutch-German dialect (x) 10. Some indian language (x) 11. Some eastern Russian language (x) (close enough) 12. No idea
Me and my family decided to do this quiz and were very surprised about Navajo being on here!! I shocked us so much we had to make sure our ears were working 😂
As a native Hungarian, I find it pretty funny (no offense) that the most people guess for example greek or icelandic instead of Hungarian🤣 so that some people can't even guess it🤣 but congrats for guessing something else🤣👏
Wow, Hungarian sounds very Asian. I thought it was Mongolian or kazakh and I thought Portuguese was a South Slavic language, it's like a mixture of Latin and Slavic.
Okay here we go: - Japanese (correct) - Russian (incorrect) - Russian (Correct) - Greek or smth? (incorrect) - Vietnamese (Correct) - Ukrainian? (Incorrect) - Icelandic? (correct) - Brazilian Portuguese or smth? (Incorrect lolol) - It's some kind of German but prob like Luxembourgisch German (well shit) - No idea it sounds Turkish (incorrect) - Kyrgyz? (ahhhh no) - Canadian Aboriginal? no clue (incorrect) Well didn't go so well
@@tiny_tuba9756 Woah are there so many? I have been to a few Canadian national parks before and there were some scripts in Canadian Aboriginal. I actually thought it was a unified language! How interesting to know that there's way more! Do you perhaps know anything about them? I would love to know a little more!
@@aysegulkara1752 I didn't know Tuvan was a turkic language! I do know something about Uzbek and Kazakh language so I just assumed since it sounded a little close to that it would be kyrgyz. Where is Tuvan spoken (like which countries)?
@@sarahelize7883 It is spoken in the Republic of Tuva in South-Central Siberia in Russia. There are many sub-branches of Turkic languages. All the languages you listed are in different groups. Turkish : Oghuz Kazakh : Kipchak Uzbek : Karluk Tuvan : Siberian Turkic For me Tuvan feels the most distant above all.
This was fun. Proud of myself for correctly guessing Punjabi. Mention of Rajasthan pointed me that way, but it sounded Indian to me even before I picked that up. I guessed Kazakh instead of Tuvan - I had the idea it was Turkic, and Russian-influenced, so I'm quite proud of that. I correctly identified Russian. I got that Czech was a Slavic language. I had an idea that it wasn't Polish, so guessed Ukrainian. Icelandic was recognisable; consonants have a distinct accent. Navajo honestly sounded Celtic to me. I guessed Manx, as I didn't think it was Gaelic!
I missed Czech (I knew it was west Slavic but I said Slovakian), Kurdish (Again, same area...I said Dari) and Tuvan (just had no idea). Great stuff mate!
@@alinguae the difference between a dialect and a language is in politics. Swiss German and High German have more differences in grammar than Ukrainian and Russian, but it's German they speak, not separate languages
@@сЕРЫЙ-г7з i may surprise you but Tuvan is not a dialect of Mongolian. It’s a Turkic language. Yes, it was highly influenced by Mongolian and has many loanwords, but it doesn’t make it “almost the same” as Mongolian.
Got them all but Kurdish (guessed persian), Vietnamese (guessed "somwhere in indochina"), Punjabi (guessed hindi), Tuvan (guessed "some kind of turkish") and Navajo (guessed greenlandic) So think I was pretty damn close! ;-)
Bro. I am native Czech speaker. I am very confused about that we speak, Vietnames in Czechia 😂 also Bro I don't think that in Bosna and Hercegovina they speak czech etc... but I'm glad you added our language to the video! ❤
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamnese, Icelandic, Yiddish and Punjabi. For Portuguese and Vietnamese I had to rely more on my logic, though. And well, Icelandic... I heard something in the audio clip that confirmed it was indeed Icelandic. For me personally, there weren't enough languages to guess here. But I had my fun. Thank you.
I got Japanese, Russian, Punjabi, Kurdish, Portuguese and Vietnamese right. The others were too similar to other languages from the same language family. Btw, I took Hungarian for a Central Asian turkic language.
I guessed Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Vietnamese and Yiddish. I thought Punjabi was Urdu and I didn't even know Tuvan language existed but it sounded very Russian to me. Although I knew it wasn't Russian the lady speaking it was clearly a native Russian speaker as well so it makes sense. I wasn't even close with Icelandic lol..
5 correct (Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech), 2 approximately (German instead of Yiddish, Hindi instead of Punjabi), in one case only the family (Tuvan).
bro the hungarian 2:40 is suprised me bc i'm hungarian and i understood it said: pedagogues from America came to Zalaegerszeg to teach English to the locals for three weeks, eleven on-demand teachers in the kepzes to help those interested from very young children to seniors
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech, Icelandic, and Navajo. Hungarian was very confusing, I wasn't sure what it was. Kurdish sounded a lot like Persian but not quite like it, and I ran out of time before guessing. Yiddish was a lot like German but I thought it would not make sense for German to be on Expert level and I ran out of time before guessing. Essentially all languages of northern India/Pakistan sound the same to me, so I guessed Hindi-Urdu for Punjabi because it is the most spoken. I thought that Tuvan was Kazakh or Kyrgyz, which is close but incorrect.
I got Hungarian and Russian and I thought Yiddish was the German they speak in Switzerland haha. And from more languages I thought that is was another language haha.
My guesses: 1. Japanese 2. Portuguese 3. Russian 4. Hungarian 5. Vietnamese 6. Ukrainian* 7. Iceland (they said "Iceland" in the clip) 8. Turkish* 9. Dutch* (i knew it was Germanic but nothing else came to me) 10. Hindi* and i wasn't even close for the rest LOL
I got Navajo, Japanese Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese and also Yiddish because as a German myself it sounded similar but It didn't sound like any of the dialects
Got right Japanese, Portuguese, Hungarian and Icelandic. Did not guess Russian but could guess that it's Slavic. Honestly, I find it very hard to distinguish between e.g. Russian, Ukrainian and Belarussian. I was almost sure that Yiddish was Dutch, although it kinda has a strange German feel to it.
Not all Germanic languages automatically have a German feel to them, take most Scandinavian languages as examples. Yiddish is a very closely related language to German so it's easy to hear the similarity.
@@EchelonIV Well true, Scandinavian languages maybe don't have a very close feeling to High German but you can certainly recognize that they are Germanic languages as well as Dutch and Afrikaans for example. But of course Yiddish is the closest to German of them all .
My guesses: Japanese Portuguese Russian Albanian (Hungarian) Thai (Vietnamese) Polish (Czech) Icelandic Dari (Kurdish) German (Yiddish) Rajasthani (Punjabi : which I don't think is accurate) Azeri (Tuvan) Georgian (Navajo) I am a Bengali speaker.
I’ll update when I finish 1) Japanese 2) maybe Russian? Something with Cyrillic script 3) ok I’m sure this one is Russian.. 4) maybe polish? 5) Vietnamese 6) European language? Turkish? 7) Icelandic 8) Kurdish 9) Arabic? A dialect of it? 10) Urdu? 11) something Russian?? Idk 12) Native language ok, most I got wrong😭😂
As a turkish, i confirm tuvan sounds like turkish. It's sounds like a dialect like kazakh or kyrgz i think. Becuase it was spoken with a russian-ish accent as i hear.
My guesses: 1. Japanese 2. Russian --> How on earth did I think Portuguese was Russian 😂😭 3. Russian 4. Finnish --> At least I guessed a Uralic language 5. Thai --> I guessed Mandarin, Thai, and Vietnamese, but settled on Thai 6. Ukrainian --> I knew it was a Slavic language, just didn't know which one 7. Icelandic 8. I can't remember what I guessed, but at one point I think I considered Turkish 😂 --> At least my guess for Turkish was from around the right region of the world 9. Yiddish 10. Punjabi --> Also was thinking maybe Hindi or Bengali, but decided on the right language 11. Kazakh --> I initially thought maybe a Siberian language since I know there are Turkic Siberian people groups, but decided against them choosing two languages spoken in Russia, so I decided it had to be some other Turkic language. 12. Indigenous Australian language --> I guessed either an Indigenous American language or an Indigenous Australian language of some sort, but decided on an Indigenous Australian language
I guessed Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic and Punjabi Right. I put Kurdish into the right direction at least (was thinking something along the arabic lines) and I didn't know what Tuvan was but I thought it sounded like combining Chinese and Russian, which doesn't seem too far fetched judging by the results.

Others were so not mainstream languages that I never would've guessed, also I confused Yiddish with High German 😂
1. Japanese (Guess correctly because I studied Japanese in high school)
2. Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese distracted me a bit but when it said 'tres dias' I'm almost certain that it is Portuguese from the Europe)
3. Russian (Correct. No doubt it's Russian)
4. Blank (I have no idea as to where this language from but certainly has Europe vibe in it)
5. Vietnamese (Almost guessing Thai but its 'tong-tong' kind of rhyme suggest me that it's Vietnamese)
6. Certainly a Slavic language but wasn't sure so I go for Ukrainian
7. Icelandic (I guessed a Germanic vibe in it but wasn't sure until it said 'Icelandic', so I go for Icelandic)
8. It has Central Asian or Middle-eastern vibe but wasn't sure
9. Guessing Flemmish or Frisian language but I was wrong again
10. I'm almost certain that it's one of the language in India and I'm sure it's not Hindi and I go for Urdu but I was wrong
11. Just guessing that it's has mixed of Turkic and Slavic vibe in it but wasn't sure what language is spoken
12. I'm guessing either African language or Native American language and I go for the latter
Hindi and Urdu are literally just different dialects of the same language lmao
I guessed:
Japanese (I've watched enough anime to recognize it)
Portuguese (It's my mother tongue)
Russian (I'm not fluent, but I've heard russian in movies)
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Icelandic. I didn't guess right Yiddish but I knew it was a language from the German family. Also I hadn't heard about Tuvan but when I heard it I was like "It sounds like Turkish but it's not". (I have been learning Turkish for years, so I know.) But at least I knew it was a part of the Turkic family. I'm ashamed I didn't recognize Hungarian. I love this language. 😔
Tipsy american here... the ones I got right were Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech, Icelandic, Punjabi
My guesses:
1. Japanese
2. Portuguese
3. Russian
4. Czech (x)
5. Vietnamese
6. Turkmen (x)
7. Icelandic (because they said iceland)
8. Azerbaijani (x)
9. Guessed some sort of Dutch-German dialect (x)
10. Some indian language (x)
11. Some eastern Russian language (x) (close enough)
12. No idea
Me and my family decided to do this quiz and were very surprised about Navajo being on here!! I shocked us so much we had to make sure our ears were working 😂
As a native Hungarian, I find it pretty funny (no offense) that the most people guess for example greek or icelandic instead of Hungarian🤣 so that some people can't even guess it🤣 but congrats for guessing something else🤣👏
I’m astounded that people thought Portuguese was Russian - no similarities to my mind! And i can’t speak either of them.
A slavic language and a romantic language but Pronounce is the same in Portuguese and Russian, That is why people confuse it
Here are my guesses:
1. Japanese.
2. Portuguese.
3. Russian.
4. Hungarian.
5. Cambodian.
6. Czech.
7. Icelandic.
8. Armenian.
9. Yiddish.
10. Hindi.
11. Yakut.
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Mexico.
I somehow got Navajo right even though I've never heard the language in my life
That was cruel to put Portuguese right before Russian lol
1/12, but at least in most cases geographical areas were guessed right 🤣👌
Wow, Hungarian sounds very Asian. I thought it was Mongolian or kazakh and I thought Portuguese was a South Slavic language, it's like a mixture of Latin and Slavic.
Okay here we go:
- Japanese (correct)
- Russian (incorrect)
- Russian (Correct)
- Greek or smth? (incorrect)
- Vietnamese (Correct)
- Ukrainian? (Incorrect)
- Icelandic? (correct)
- Brazilian Portuguese or smth? (Incorrect lolol)
- It's some kind of German but prob like Luxembourgisch German (well shit)
- No idea it sounds Turkish (incorrect)
- Kyrgyz? (ahhhh no)
- Canadian Aboriginal? no clue (incorrect)
Well didn't go so well
Tuvan and Kyrgyz are both Turkic languages. So your guess is close. I am a native Turkish speaker and I thought it was Kazakh :D
Yeahhhh theres THOUSANDS of Aboriginal languages in Canada alone, take it from a Canadian
@@tiny_tuba9756 Woah are there so many? I have been to a few Canadian national parks before and there were some scripts in Canadian Aboriginal. I actually thought it was a unified language! How interesting to know that there's way more! Do you perhaps know anything about them? I would love to know a little more!
@@aysegulkara1752 I didn't know Tuvan was a turkic language! I do know something about Uzbek and Kazakh language so I just assumed since it sounded a little close to that it would be kyrgyz. Where is Tuvan spoken (like which countries)?
@@sarahelize7883 It is spoken in the Republic of Tuva in South-Central Siberia in Russia. There are many sub-branches of Turkic languages. All the languages you listed are in different groups.
Turkish : Oghuz
Kazakh : Kipchak
Uzbek : Karluk
Tuvan : Siberian Turkic
For me Tuvan feels the most distant above all.
This was fun.
Proud of myself for correctly guessing Punjabi. Mention of Rajasthan pointed me that way, but it sounded Indian to me even before I picked that up.
I guessed Kazakh instead of Tuvan - I had the idea it was Turkic, and Russian-influenced, so I'm quite proud of that.
I correctly identified Russian. I got that Czech was a Slavic language. I had an idea that it wasn't Polish, so guessed Ukrainian.
Icelandic was recognisable; consonants have a distinct accent.
Navajo honestly sounded Celtic to me. I guessed Manx, as I didn't think it was Gaelic!
I always like this type of game, guessing the language by listening to it, and I got totally surprised that the first one is my mother tongue 😁

Somehow mixed up japanese with Hindi and Yiddish with German 😂😂😂
I got 5 right Japanese, Russian, Icelandic, Vietnamese and Kurdish.
I missed Czech (I knew it was west Slavic but I said Slovakian), Kurdish (Again, same area...I said Dari) and Tuvan (just had no idea).
Great stuff mate!
I thought it is czech, but then i heard word "Ukraina" and changed my answer to Ukrainian
Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible languages, they are very similar, so give yourself at least half a point for it XD
Got it all right except of hungarian
Tuvan sounded alot like Türkish man you got me there😂
you turkish are arabs no europeans
😂
I confused Russian, Czech and Hungarian with Polish 😂
Got all of them correctly, except Tuvan, but I thought it was Mongolian so, almost the same
Lmao how is it almost the same? Is English and French almost the same?
@@alinguae the difference between a dialect and a language is in politics. Swiss German and High German have more differences in grammar than Ukrainian and Russian, but it's German they speak, not separate languages
@@сЕРЫЙ-г7з i may surprise you but Tuvan is not a dialect of Mongolian. It’s a Turkic language. Yes, it was highly influenced by Mongolian and has many loanwords, but it doesn’t make it “almost the same” as Mongolian.
@@alinguae Many words in modern English are borrowed from French.
@@masoud4783 Exactly their point I think no one thinks of French and English as the same language or sounding the same
FINALLY A VIDEO WITH NAVAJO!! I LEARN THIS LANGUAGE
Wow that was fun but I got just Japanese and Kurdish🙂
Got them all but Kurdish (guessed persian), Vietnamese (guessed "somwhere in indochina"), Punjabi (guessed hindi), Tuvan (guessed "some kind of turkish") and Navajo (guessed greenlandic) So think I was pretty damn close! ;-)
Bro. I am native Czech speaker. I am very confused about that we speak, Vietnames in Czechia 😂 also Bro I don't think that in Bosna and Hercegovina they speak czech etc... but I'm glad you added our language to the video! ❤
I'm not gonna lie to me, the Icelandic dude sounded like a Norwegian/Swede/Dane talking with a mouth full of marbles
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamnese, Icelandic, Yiddish and Punjabi. For Portuguese and Vietnamese I had to rely more on my logic, though. And well, Icelandic... I heard something in the audio clip that confirmed it was indeed Icelandic.
For me personally, there weren't enough languages to guess here. But I had my fun. Thank you.
So good. I’m Vietnamese and i can get Japanese ( anime and country in Asia )
This map feels off for some reason. I got navajo russian and icelandic only
I got Japanese, Russian, Punjabi, Kurdish, Portuguese and Vietnamese right. The others were too similar to other languages from the same language family. Btw, I took Hungarian for a Central Asian turkic language.
I got most of them, proud that I recognized Kurdish (or actually kurmanci) immediately.
I got Russian Icelandic and Punjabi
I got a few, I didn't know kurdish, I mistook Yiddish for Letzeburgisch, I had no clue of Tuvan and Navajo and I guessed Hindi unstead of Punjabi.
bro this was hard asf
I guessed Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Vietnamese and Yiddish.
I thought Punjabi was Urdu and I didn't even know Tuvan language existed but it sounded very Russian to me. Although I knew it wasn't Russian the lady speaking it was clearly a native Russian speaker as well so it makes sense.
I wasn't even close with Icelandic lol..
i thought it was ingush, because as a chechen learner, it sounded vaguely familiar, like the ingush language to chechen. turns out, im a dumbass.
being russain, I confused portuguese and serbian, i didn’t expect that portuguese sounds so slavic and confused polish and czech (but i was close)
Maybe because they were talking about Serbia, I guess.
The only one we were able to guess was punjabi and we literally started laughing for no reason 🤣
I‘m an engineering student, it was pretty easy to guess. Well I said Indian, but i also had a good laugh😂
I randomly guessed Punjabi!!
0:37 japanese
1:13 portugese
1:51 russian
2:30 hungarian
3:34 czech
4:22 Icelandic
Only got 5 (Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Punjabi) :P
Damn, this is expert level, man.
no it was easy
5 correct (Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech), 2 approximately (German instead of Yiddish, Hindi instead of Punjabi), in one case only the family (Tuvan).
I got all correct 👍🏼 😊🎉
bro the hungarian 2:40 is suprised me bc i'm hungarian and i understood it said: pedagogues from America came to Zalaegerszeg to teach English to the locals for three weeks, eleven on-demand teachers in the kepzes to help those interested from very young children to seniors
Yiddish sound just like German! I never was this confident and got it wrong before
German with more "kh" sounds is basically Yiddish
0:01 not me saying "english" when i saw "hello" 😭
I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Czech, Icelandic, and Navajo.
Hungarian was very confusing, I wasn't sure what it was. Kurdish sounded a lot like Persian but not quite like it, and I ran out of time before guessing. Yiddish was a lot like German but I thought it would not make sense for German to be on Expert level and I ran out of time before guessing. Essentially all languages of northern India/Pakistan sound the same to me, so I guessed Hindi-Urdu for Punjabi because it is the most spoken. I thought that Tuvan was Kazakh or Kyrgyz, which is close but incorrect.
I got Hungarian and Russian and I thought Yiddish was the German they speak in Switzerland haha. And from more languages I thought that is was another language haha.
I thought Kurdish was a dialect of Farsi and was stumped. Such an interesting language.
I was so ready for it to be hard but then the first language played... I speak Japanese
ごめんね 😅 次回はもっと難しくします。
@@alinguae 心配しないでください！他はかなり難しかった 😁
@@sweet_bruiser5144 よかったですね 😌
I just realised how punjabi is more known to world than any other indian language
The Punjabi dude literally said "Rajasthan" and the Czech guy said "česta" not to mention the Iceland
He did say Rajasthan but he was speaking Punjabi. It was a news clipping about Farmer's protest in Rajasthan
In Czech there was nothing like "česta". There was just "šest" which means six (6).
I smiled when the guy spoke kurdish
My guesses:
1. Japanese
2. Portuguese
3. Russian
4. Hungarian
5. Vietnamese
6. Ukrainian*
7. Iceland (they said "Iceland" in the clip)
8. Turkish*
9. Dutch* (i knew it was Germanic but nothing else came to me)
10. Hindi*
and i wasn't even close for the rest LOL
8. It was Kurdish
I got 3 😄
Japanese, Russian & Vietnamese.
I got Navajo, Japanese Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese and also Yiddish because as a German myself it sounded similar but It didn't sound like any of the dialects
I got Russian, Czech, Japanese, Portuguese, and maybe something else I don't remember.
Got right Japanese, Portuguese, Hungarian and Icelandic. Did not guess Russian but could guess that it's Slavic. Honestly, I find it very hard to distinguish between e.g. Russian, Ukrainian and Belarussian. I was almost sure that Yiddish was Dutch, although it kinda has a strange German feel to it.
Yiddish is a Germanic language, of course it has a German feel to it ;)
Not all Germanic languages automatically have a German feel to them, take most Scandinavian languages as examples. Yiddish is a very closely related language to German so it's easy to hear the similarity.
@@EchelonIV Well true, Scandinavian languages maybe don't have a very close feeling to High German but you can certainly recognize that they are Germanic languages as well as Dutch and Afrikaans for example. But of course Yiddish is the closest to German of them all .
My guesses:
Japanese
Portuguese
Russian
Albanian (Hungarian)
Thai (Vietnamese)
Polish (Czech)
Icelandic
Dari (Kurdish)
German (Yiddish)
Rajasthani (Punjabi : which I don't think is accurate)
Azeri (Tuvan)
Georgian (Navajo)
I am a Bengali speaker.
The Punjabi is accurate. Rajashthan was mentioned because it was a news clipping about Farmers protesting in Rajasthan
I’ll update when I finish
1) Japanese
2) maybe Russian? Something with Cyrillic script
3) ok I’m sure this one is Russian..
4) maybe polish?
5) Vietnamese
6) European language? Turkish?
7) Icelandic
8) Kurdish
9) Arabic? A dialect of it?
10) Urdu?
11) something Russian?? Idk
12) Native language
ok, most I got wrong😭😂
Portuguese to russian? Wow 😂
The Japanese I got so fast because it sounded like Japanese (;-;) and they said ‘ Nihon’ which means ‘ Japan’ in Japanese ✨
よく頑張りましたね ☺️
Nippon too
Senki:
Én: még mindig várom hogy Zsolt mit akart mondani🤓
The hungarian newscaster sounds extremely tired lmao💀💀
My score:
Easy 3/3
Medium 0/3
Hard 1/3
Expert 0,5/3
Thank god I know punjabi😂
As a turkish, i confirm tuvan sounds like turkish. It's sounds like a dialect like kazakh or kyrgz i think. Becuase it was spoken with a russian-ish accent as i hear.
My guesses:
1. Japanese
2. Russian --> How on earth did I think Portuguese was Russian 😂😭
3. Russian
4. Finnish --> At least I guessed a Uralic language
5. Thai --> I guessed Mandarin, Thai, and Vietnamese, but settled on Thai
6. Ukrainian --> I knew it was a Slavic language, just didn't know which one
7. Icelandic
8. I can't remember what I guessed, but at one point I think I considered Turkish 😂 --> At least my guess for Turkish was from around the right region of the world
9. Yiddish
10. Punjabi --> Also was thinking maybe Hindi or Bengali, but decided on the right language
11. Kazakh --> I initially thought maybe a Siberian language since I know there are Turkic Siberian people groups, but decided against them choosing two languages spoken in Russia, so I decided it had to be some other Turkic language.
12. Indigenous Australian language --> I guessed either an Indigenous American language or an Indigenous Australian language of some sort, but decided on an Indigenous Australian language
I heard "iceland" at the icelandic part
I guessed Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Hindi (Punjabi) 😅
The last one was god tier
1:53 Russian
3:09 vietnamese
6:24 punjabi
Tough one, but good! Some of those were fairly specific and sparsely spoken.
NAVAJO?! 😅
I guessed Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic and Punjabi Right.
I put Kurdish into the right direction at least (was thinking something along the arabic lines) and I didn't know what Tuvan was but I thought it sounded like combining Chinese and Russian, which doesn't seem too far fetched judging by the results.
“Blah blah blah…”
Me: Danish?
“Icelandic (ijslandic?)…”
Me: …
Trust me nobody speaks czech in Romania
