Greenlandic has 60,000 native speakers. Sami has 30,000 native speakers. Caijia has 1000 native speakers. Manchu has 10 native speakers. They are not strange, but on the brink of dying....
Хлоя Чанокова I wasn't expecting you to I was just wondering if you knew any statistics about it since the Hawaiian language has always fascinated me. Sorry. But that is very interesting and I'm glad that's happening. What language do you speak?
***** It's actually the uh.. THIRD hardest language. However... We speak nerd or geek... the world's most confusing language to outsiders... Because nerds rule the world..... NERDS UNITE
Listening to the little girl whistle, if you listen to what the teacher tells her to say and then to how she whistles it, it's actually not to hard to hear how it's the same thing.
+Cruxador Yeah Silbo is not a language, it's just a way to enconde Spanish into whistles, in the same way you could encode it into a string of scribbles on paper(AKA "text"). Once you learn how the oral phonemes map to whistles you're mostly done, while a different language requires learning vocabulary, grammar, intonation and pragmatics.
***** If you go to south africa, everywhere you will find street performers doing music and singing in their natural language and selling CD's to make money. It's actually amazing. I was there a couple of months ago. Beautiful and such a weird language
English, Dutch, Afrikaans and Polish aren't too "strange" languages" or all languages are strange in their own way but in this video they showed languages that are dying or are just simply strange for people that mainly speak just English and know just some world's main languages
There is a language (Ladin) wich is spoken in only 2 valleys in northern Italy and in some places in Switzerland. The language is a mix between Latin and old German. Each valley has his own version of the language wich can't be understood by each other and then there is a third language wich is only written but can be understoot by the people of both the valleys. The people of the place have to learn 4 languages in school: Italian, German (because in South Tyrol there are to national languages), Ladin and English (because in Italy in every school as second language you have to learn English)
Im Native American and i speak my language fluently but it too is dying out as time moves on, its also difficult to learn for people who are not a part our tribe cause we have no written language, it only consists of verbal and sign language. a state university along side with our local college tried to make it a understandable but creating written system for my language but failed cause our language was never meant to be written. theres is only 8000 or more people with in our confederacy that speaks the language and to make thing more difficult is we have a ancient form of our language, there is only a couple hundred people that can still understand and speak our ancient language haha even my self i can't understand our ancient language, it sounds so much like the one we all speak but when we hear it, it don't make sense, it sounds foreign to us but yet it sounds so similar to our language we speak. My grandmother once told me " Our ancient language was the language of the animals and only a few can understand it and speak it, if your the few who can understand it then you can talk to animals and under stand them " my grand father was one of the few who could understand it and speak it but he passed, he once told me on his death bed " if only you could hear the stuff i hear, its quite amazing, i just wish everybody can hear it ". now i know some will question it and want a scientific answer but even myself i still don't believe it, that a human can speak to a animal haha
Old thread, but my university specializes in language revitalization and documentation, and some methods that could be useful for educational purposes would probably involve eschewing writing and going straight into audio recordings or video especially with digital textbooks being so ubiquitous these days I could easily envision textbooks with written translations and audio for your language with playback at varying speeds. And for cultural purposes podcasts or recorded oral histories etc in the language. If the sounds are difficult teaching people the way the mouth should move to make the sounds could be useful (cutting out the need for an alphabet)
I believe your grandfather 100% and I am truly devastated that such am amazing language and such knowledge is gone. Each generation loses more and more of a culture. One example would be plants with different uses or healing properties. Knowledge of many plants has died out never to return as instead our world has turned to AI, GMOs, CRISPR and other futuristic innovations
***** 11 Official native languages, our national anthem uses 5 of these languages . Please tell me again how USA is in any way more diverse than what is referred to as the rainbow nation .
***** I definately agree that there are a bunch of problems here right now , and its definitely stemming at the fact that being this diverse , having to make allowances and tolerances for people of all cultures , is a hard ass job , who knows if it could ever work , but one thing is for sure , with each new generation , we are starting to accept each other, and maybe oneday it will work out , maybe not :) time will tell .
A lot of native American languages are polysynthetic. And a lot of them are dying out. It's very very sad and we all need to do more to preserve them. When a language dies a culture dies.
Native American here. Yeah. None of my tribe speak the languages now. Most of us were killed except a very small amount that escaped to the mountains beforehand. After we came back from hiding, there was no good reason to remain speaking our language, so now we just speak English, Spanish, or so.
I'm also in South Africa. What part are you from? I don't speak Xhosa, but I know what it sounds like. It was interesting seeing them pronounce the words. I also speak Afrikaans XD
+Birgitta Same in a language I speak (Nahuatl) it used to all be Native American words, but now it has quite a lot of Spanish in it. It's unfortunate to see languages like this evolve into bigger, arguably less beautiful languages.
Once of the most recent language to die was called "Aka-bo" . It's last speaker, and old woman named Boa Sr. died in 2010. She lieved on one of the Great Andaman Islands. A part of the same archipalego is the Sentinel island. It's people are completely isolated, since they are hostile to anyone aproaching their land. Therefore we know nothing about their culture or language. Scientists guess they might be living there for as long as 60,000 years.
I can speak some sindarin elvish, I stopped learning it cos I got hammered by coursework but now I've finished college imma get back into it, cuio mae, melon nin. Live well, my friend
Coming from South Africa myself, it's so hilarious listening to Rhett and Link speak Xhosa. But Xhosa isn't the only language with clicks, while people in the United states might learn Spanish or french( I wouldn't know) but we have to learn, Xhosa, isiZulu and other African languages. We also have to learn Afrikaans which is similar to Dutch.😄
Xhosa is one of the main languages in South Africa. Zulu sounds almost identical with the same clicks and is spoken by more people. Things are clicky down here.
But if a billion or 500 million speak it that means that a couple million speak it... and also a few more million. Technically you could say one person speaks it and that would be correct but if you said only one speaks it that wouldn't be true.
The language in the gods must be crazy was another clicking language (even harder to pronounce), not Xhosa (which is much more similar to non-clicking languages like Swahili)
I live in South-Africa and even in my class 80% speak Xhosa... Its a very interesting language,like you said and sometimes I wonder how they make those sounds...
Videos like this are always so very fascinating to me. ...Mostly because I'm building my own fictional language that is still in the works, and these build inspiration! Zemeeazeyl amoykai! Pakasche fao denscho syarra, daonya schoszameimnya!
E-erm, well, I'd say it's rather easy to learn since Grammar is identical / very similar to English (as a result of my own laziness). Only challenge is actually speaking it with pronunciation and such. Is that what you meant by join? Learning it?
O-oh..! Wow..! I didn't think somebody would actually be that interested in it! Perhaps I shall also make a dictionary (which would take awhile with all the words I currently have in the translator) to hopefully help you learn it! Raahh! This is making me all happy inside! Thank you random stranger!
I'm from Denmark and we're only just under 6 million speakers of Danish. According to my math that's less than 8 million speakers of Xhosa! And Danish is also, reportedly, one of the hardest languages to learn. Although, we don't have odd clicking sounds. But we DO have soft d's and silent t's which doesn't really make a lot of sense.
OriginGames1909 Yeah it's pretty much is the same thing as they were whistling English. Although they don't teach that at schools XD would have been better than french though.
It literally is like the Clangers, it sounds just like it when there's more to hear.. They should have played a longer clip. I've been to La Gomera, it's amazing. We went to eat in this restaurant, and they grow this potato type thing that is enormous and looks like a tree trunk, it takes like a number of years to grow and ages and ages to cook.. Anyway. Over dinner the staff went around taking (asking first) peoples possessions - sunglasses, cameras etc and moving them all around the room. Then someone else would re enter the room and the one that took the stuff would whistle whistle whistle and the other guy would go fetch the item and give it back to the person it belonged to. It was so nuts but amazing to watch. So they'd whistle a whole sentence, they wouldn't point or make any obvious gestures, but it would translate to like, 'the hat on the first table belongs to the man in the orange shirt' or whatever. It was crazy cool.
I know! I used to assume Rhett was kinda tall and Link was average height, but after seeing them next to their crew, I searched their heights. Come to find out Link is 6 ft. and Rhett is 6 ft. 7 in. 0_o
Sorry rhett and link, Xhosa doesn't have 3 clicks, it has 18!!! The "ngq" in the word "Ngqothwane" is one click, heres the complete list of clicks in xhosa: Plain: c, x, q aspirated: ch, xh, qh Slack voice: gc, gx, gq Nasal: nc, nx, nq Slack-voice-nasal: ngc, ngx, ngq Glottalized nasal: nkc, nkx, nkq
I feel sorry for that girl who won the face thingy on the wheel cuz she didnt win anything other than a song. when everyone else who has won has gotten something from your studio and free gmm merchandise. not fair in my opinion.
I'm from Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, and my great-grandmother was from La Gomera, that island. I'm glad about the fact that both these guys were showing it in their channel. Thanks.
Chris Pratt is in Parks and Recreation. Chris Pratt is in Jurassic World. Rhett and Link made a Parks and Recreation joke. Rhett and Link are dinosaurs confirmed.
In South Africa Xhosa is 4th on the popilarity languages. We have 11 offical languages. The first four is: English, Afrikaans, Zulu and then only Xhosa
Mine is almost gone. My ancestors were almost all killed off except for a few that escaped into the mountains. Now they all speak English and no one speaks the original language. You can find the written language, but I've never encountered it spoken, ever.
I live in south africa. I don't speak xhosa though... but i speak afrikaans. You know.. like the rest of the western cape lol. Afrikaans is also a wierd language

As a South African, who is a HUGE fan by the way, watching you two attempt Xhosa made my day.
Haha! That was me commenting from my phone and using an emoji. Apparently they're not supported. Whoops. **edits comment**
Same here! I loved it, really brightened my rainy day

8 million people speaking a language is a small amount? M whole country doesn't even have 5 million people in it!
8 million as opposed to the seven billion people on the planet that makes it a relatively small language.

I wonder what language will take place of English once it dies out.
It's gonna be a while before that happens considering it's the most popular spoken language.
Dutchish or Netherlandish
Probably Chinese. 你不知道吗？华文是有很多人用的。我也用。sorry to people originally from China yes I know I failed Chinese before

chipchip about 500 million
TheSkullzGuy 1 billion if you count second language speakers
chipchip Not really. The highest is like 700 mil but not more look it up.
But if a billion or 500 million speak it that means that a couple million speak it... and also a few more million. Technically you could say one person speaks it and that would be correct but if you said only one speaks it that wouldn't be true.

MrStensnask finland and danish are i think hardest northern languages
Anyone from England, who's old enough, think that the whistling sounds like the language The Clangers use? XD
Yeah, i thought that haha
OriginGames1909 Yeah it's pretty much is the same thing as they were whistling English. Although they don't teach that at schools XD would have been better than french though.
VaultCon I would have taken that lesson instead of French. XD
That's what I thought aswell
It literally is like the Clangers, it sounds just like it when there's more to hear.. They should have played a longer clip. I've been to La Gomera, it's amazing. We went to eat in this restaurant, and they grow this potato type thing that is enormous and looks like a tree trunk, it takes like a number of years to grow and ages and ages to cook.. Anyway. Over dinner the staff went around taking (asking first) peoples possessions - sunglasses, cameras etc and moving them all around the room. Then someone else would re enter the room and the one that took the stuff would whistle whistle whistle and the other guy would go fetch the item and give it back to the person it belonged to. It was so nuts but amazing to watch. So they'd whistle a whole sentence, they wouldn't point or make any obvious gestures, but it would translate to like, 'the hat on the first table belongs to the man in the orange shirt' or whatever. It was crazy cool.
Garbage is one of the most widely spoken languages. You hear Garbage everywhere!

I just realized at 9:14 how huge Rhett's hands are compared to the GMM mug. Lol XD
I know! I used to assume Rhett was kinda tall and Link was average height, but after seeing them next to their crew, I searched their heights. Come to find out Link is 6 ft. and Rhett is 6 ft. 7 in. 0_o
And links cup is not falling
3:28 "The road's witch docter is a knocking beetle, it makes perfect sense!" - Link
Sorry rhett and link, Xhosa doesn't have 3 clicks, it has 18!!! The "ngq" in the word "Ngqothwane" is one click, heres the complete list of clicks in xhosa:
Plain: c, x, q
aspirated: ch, xh, qh
Slack voice: gc, gx, gq
Nasal: nc, nx, nq
Slack-voice-nasal: ngc, ngx, ngq
Glottalized nasal: nkc, nkx, nkq

The best language is the hit and stab language, when say HI, is a slab on your face, "how do you do?", is a kick in your groin
I feel sorry for that girl who won the face thingy on the wheel cuz she didnt win anything other than a song. when everyone else who has won has gotten something from your studio and free gmm merchandise. not fair in my opinion.
someone took the picture of themselves or a picture of anyone/anything and posted it on twitter with a # so I really doubt that.

many native american languages are extinct. before Colombus approximately 1600 different languages existes in the americas...
Mine is almost gone. My ancestors were almost all killed off except for a few that escaped into the mountains. Now they all speak English and no one speaks the original language. You can find the written language, but I've never encountered it spoken, ever.
That's damn tragic
@@TheZephyrsWind What is the language called?
Greetings from the Canary Islands! (Saludos desde Canarias!)
People need to stop learning English and start learning more endangered languages. I'd love to learn the Native American languages myself.
This is one of the few youtube channels of many (Some are not meant to be funny), that makes me ACTUALLY laugh out loud :) So thank you GMM!
