- Today, we'll be talking about the success story of three languages which have been revived from complete extinction aside from Hebrew or Livonian. I hope you enjoy the video and if you would like another episode about this topic, just ask for it in the comments!
Made with Microsoft PowerPoint, OBS studio and Clip champ. Music from RUclips's editor section so I don't get demonetized again.
Disclaimer: I apologize for the reupload. Incase you didn't see it before, there was a big mistake in this video which, with the help of my amazing girlfriend, I've managed to edit out. However, this has meant deleting the previous video and uploading it again, this time without the mistake. Credits for the thumbnail also go to my talented girlfriend who is far better at these sorts of things than I am, she re-edited it to make it look way better. I don't know what I'd do without her LOL.
It would be cool if Coptic was revived! Having a link to ancient Egyptian would be amazing. Like Hebrew before revival, it's well known because of its liturgical use -- it's just a matter of actually having people to speak and use it.
I spoke about it in my DNA Test Results Video because I actually have Coptic Egyptian ancestry. I really want a revival, the problem is the resources are not widely available and there are two main dialects and I find conflicting material between Bohairic and Sahidic. If someone makes a genuinely good resource for teaching maybe a "neutral" dialect, I would definitely learn it!
@@CheLanguages Seems like Bahairic has generally been more preferred from my impression. Also, since it's the preferred form used by Alexandria, having the Coptic Church backing would make it the most viable dialect to base any possible future revival on, I think.
@@CouchTomato87 perhaps so yes
Coptic Christians are the perfect candidates for enacting that idea of yours.
Best regards.
@@joseignacio512 I'm not a Christian obviously, but with my Coptic heritage I'd be willing to help out in the revival of it picked up any speed
I had NO idea this many languages had been revived so successfully! Please please, part 2!

Hey, this is underrated, needs more views!
Thank you man, I can always say the same about your channel too. I hope the recent animation does well
I know you had to reupload this video but I'll leave a comment again. I loved the video! Part 2 please
I'm glad you enjoyed it...again. And yes, I think I'll have to make a second part
Sorry that I had to upload this again, the description explains why in more detail. Nonetheless, I hope everyone enjoyed the video. Please tell me what language here surprized you the most and if you would like a part 2?
What mistake???
I didn't even know Massachusett was a language nevermind the fact it's been revived, that was the craziest one for me
Very interesting as always
Goofy ahh Cornish language

Great video, thanks for fixing the mistake, it's much better quality now!
I'm glad to hear it!
I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m enjoying it a lot! A few things:
1. I am a speaker of Welsh, a teacher of ESOL for immigrant adults, and a resident of Massachusetts who’s paid a lot of attention to the Wampanoag revival. I can tell you that it’s not that older speakers don’t care about letting a language die; it’s almost always because they experienced so much stigma from speakers of the majority language that they don’t want their children to experience the same and therefore don’t teach them. Older people today who never learned their native minority language probably also faced a lot of stigma just for being in the ethnic group.
2. I clicked on this video hoping you’d include Wampanoag and mention Jessie Little Doe Baird, and I’m so glad you did mention her. If there’s ever been a case of one person single-handedly reviving a language, it’s her.
3. I see that others already corrected your pronunciation of Natick and moccasin. I’ll add that succotash, which some New Englanders still have at Thanksgiving dinner, is pronounced SUCK-oh-tash.
4. Cornwall should definitely have the same status and rights as Wales!
Thanks for making and posting this!
א. A Welsh speaker in the US? I've heard there is a community, is it because you're family is Welsh or did you just learn it as a hobby unrelated to your ancestry? You're right about the aged community in these circumstances, they would have been looked down upon so didn't teach it to their children, can't blame them really.
ב. She is an inspiring person and needs to be talked about more. She is also a good role model not only for women in the field of linguistics but also for Native Americans.
ג. Thank you, that's helpful. But who decided to spell NEYtick as Natick? Bruh.
ד. Yes, and the North of England too!
Thank you for your comment and I hope you have a great day!
@@CheLanguageswoah what’s up with all the weird symbols. Did you have the wrong keyboard setting on?
@@DardS8Br It's Hebrew
Could you please work on a video about language revitalization? I know that bringing back to full force a language that is not fully dead is not as impressive as doing it with an extinct one, but nevertheless, with the simply huge amount of endangered and moribund languages we have today in our world and whose end would represent a tragedy for human history and culture (dozens come to mind), and with the titanic and passionate effort and work that individuals completely committed to the cause must go through, it is, imho, a subject worth studying and which may apport much both to the studious as well as to the lay-man.
Best regards.
You surely deserved more than the one thumb up that I gave you for this which you posted here.
@@danielm.4346 Thanks.
I have it planned yes! I really want to talk about Laz, a language that is subject to revitalization. It will probably be uploaded in a few weeks, I have some more videos to make soon but I agree, it's just as important as revival, maybe more important in certain circumstances
@@CheLanguages Agreed! Because since the language is moribund but not extinct yet, it is at this point easier to revitalize it, with native speakers still left, than having to start from scatch, once it's really gone. And I adore the idea of you making a video about Laz, since a pet language of mine (in much need of revitalization in the form of a standarized Kartvelic-ortograpghy, massive inmersive education for children, translations into it, high-quality dictionaries, and most importantly, the production of original and inedit artistic-literary works in it) is a relative of his, Mingrelian! I would also advise Manchu, Ainu, Ligurian, and why not?, Jewish Aramaic. Being as it is that English's not my mother-tongue, I apologize for any mistakes that I may have made.
Best regards.
@@CheLanguages And I forgot to mention Nivkh. Alas, it'd be such a tragedy if that language was lost to humanity. I must warn that I possess no training in linguistics whatsoever, but I have a distinct impression that Nivkh is the missing link between, e.g., Korean and Japanese, and Korean and the Uralic languages. I beg your pardon if my ideas sound way too far-fetched for well established scholars. I think that Nivkh hides a lot of secrets, which shall be revealed upon closer scrutiny and once that we understand it better.
Most interesting. Please keep them coming! Yes, I would like another episode.
Awesome! I'm glad you found it interesting

I love the Manx flag. It's distinctive and it's not just 3 colored bars.
That's one way of looking at it, it reminds me of Sicilia's flag too
It reminds me of a certain Teutonic flag which also had a red background.
@@ivandinsmore6217 I'm not aware of that flag, but I imagine it's probably somewhat problematic nowadays
It hurts me to know that it’s not the only flag with legs on it
I beg for part 2! I already love this series!
If my viewers want it, I will make it. A lot of people have asked so I'm gonna make a part 2 soon!
@@CheLanguages Thank you so much!
If you look closely, Hebrew was very well spoken by Jews allover the world. Not as the daily language for sure, but not exactly strictly liturgical language as well.
It was used mainly as the language to communicate between Jews of different communities around the world, and also for poetry etc...
That's true, the Revival of Hebrew is a little bit exaggerated because it never really died in the first place. If you haven't already, check out Sam Aronow's video on the Revival of Hebrew, it's a fairly recent video and he explains the situation really well!
@@CheLanguages thanks I'll check it out!
@@gooshnpupp No problem!
Ashkenazi Hebrew or Sephardi Hebrew. The problem is pronunciation in the various Jewish groups.
@@Ponto-zv9vf I'm not well versed in the differences between pronunciation of Hebrew among different communities throughout the ages and diaspora. But truly, It is quite a detour from our original discussion of "how dead was the Hebrew language really".
I have an English friend who lived in Cornwall, and he attended several sessions of a committee that was trying to revive Cornish. However, he was disappointed when they tried to come up with modern words that did not exist in the 18th century--with the decision being that they should just borrow the word or expression from Welsh.
That is somewhat disappointing. It'd be like reviving Hebrew with Arabic words for new concepts. Instead they need to create words from original roots
Well, old languages lack modern terms. What to do? In English we have telephone, helicopter and so on, sort of made up words using other languages or English words to make up another word like wireless, not the old word used to describe a radio in my youth. Whether it comes from other languages or portmanteaus, does it really matter? Breton is closer to Cornish than Welsh but Breton has it's problem with Standard French.
I don't know how Cornish looks like, but in the Germanic languages the natives invent a new word which is very literal.
Most of the germanic words are exactly what the mean.
So, if Cornish works the same way as the germanic language: people can invent new words the same way.
On the other hand: it more likely to look for new words in Breton. And The cornish people must look for an specialist to propose and let the committee decides.
Great vid as always !
Thank you, that's great
We need to revive more Slavic languages too
Perhaps, some people are trying to revive Polabian if you remember that from my Slavic languages video

I pray for more dead languages to revive. Like Classical Latin for some reason
We could easily revive Latin, I'm not sure why nobody has yet
@@CheLanguages Because Romance languages exist. It's still used in some cases and people can still learn it but I don't see the point in Latin becoming a commonly spoken language.
@@thedarkenigma3834 yeah but it's cool
It can be just merged with Italian instead
@@thedarkenigma3834 it could if English didn’t take its place in the world.
Manx: Might ch and gh have been voiceless and voiced versions of the same sound? 'Ght' was perhaps a 'gh' with an abrupt cutoff? I'm just wondering because English & the Celtic languages starting being written in Latin letters at about the same time, as I recall.
Massachustt: Natick is pronounced with a long 'a'. Many of the words you mentioned are common place and institution names in southeastern Massachusetts.
Cornish: Three villages (at least) in Cornwall had a high incidence of hereditary deafness. A large number of them migrated to Martha's Vinyard and took their Cornish Sign Language with them. CSL spread around Martha's Vinyard to the point that even people with no Deaf family members were fluent. The island had no high school so Deaf children were sent to The AmericaneSchool f/t Deaf (ASD) in West Hartford, Conn. Their language merged with the French (Parisian) Sign Language used by French teachers (mostly Deaf themselves) who were hired to teach at ASD. This amalgamation formed the basis for przsent day American Sign Language.
Manx: the possibility is there, but I personally didn't come across anything like that during my research.
Massachusett: good to know. I wanted to avoid using place names as my example for Massachusett words as there are hundreds of them, rivers, lakes, towns, islands etc.
Cornish: that's an interesting story
France and Cornwall merged sign languages is one of the most random things and then it went onto form ASL. Guess it means all of the ASL community are just a bunch of freedom loving pasty mimes.
I'd like to point out based on your mention of generally Algonquian-derived words in English that there are a LOT more words sourced from those languages in English than you would think because many of them have fully Anglophone phonetic spelling. English speaking colonizers would adapt words from the native tongues for new things they encountered and then simply spell them by ear, which results in many of the example words you showed such as squash (no relation to the verb). This is especially true in place names in my home of New York City actually! Rockaway is an Algonquian name, as are Canarsie and, believe it or not, Jamaica (as in Jamaica Bay, Queens, not the Caribbean island). Manhattan is also of course an Algonquian name, and if you're from anywhere in the Northeast United States I'd say theres like a 33% chance any given place name you can think of is Algonquian.
I mentioned that most of them are preserved in place names. The list of place names derived from Algonquian is HUGE! Not only towns, but rivers, mountains, lakes, forests, all sorts...
Great apport to the general discussion. Very interesting facts!
Persian/Parsi should be revived too, what we speak here in Persia 40 to 60 percent of it is Arabic. There's a lot of Arabic loanwords and a lot of other words for no reason. And many Persian words are spoken by its Arabic form, even the name of our language, it's so unfortunate and ridiculous.
Parsi: Persian
Farsi: Arabic
I hope we could do something about.
I could not possibly agree more with you, sir/madam. Ancient Persia, and indeed, many ancient and related Iranian-Aryan civilizations, was the craddle of a very big chunk of our modern Western culture; and it only seems like an abomination to me the fact that the language of a civilization, to which we all owe so much, has been denaturalized to the point that a lot of its original core is no longer in use, it has lost a vast amount of its expresivness due to the influence of Arabic (to my understanding, the verbal system has been the most mutilated item), and an impossible-to-reckon amount of its original lexicon, a rich inheritance from the beautiful Proto-Indoeuropean language, has fallen out of use and is systematically replaced by a foreign one.
I must make clear that I hold nothing against the Arabic language, which I find fascinating and respect for its myriad of impressive merits of its own account.
So, having stated the aforementioned opinions, I would like to suggest a supra-national project (let's remember that Persian is by no means spoken and used daily only in present-day Iran), where, little by little, gradually, the Persian lexicon starts to retake and introduce into common parliance words from ancient Persian, which, I reckon, must still be possible to find in mountainous and rural areas, and which may as well be extracted from ancient, pre-invasion texts; and give linguists and grammar experts the task of reconstructing a more Persian-like grammar for expressions employed in daily speech. Regarding the issue of its writing system, I feel that it would be too drastic and too early at this point trying to modify it; the Perso-Arabic script should continue to be used in Iran and Afghanistan; however, I don't really know what should be done with the Cyrillic-writing of Tajikistan, but I am of the opinion that a greater cohession ought to be sought among the Persian used in the three countries, so that communication between Persian speakers of different places and backgrounds increases, and so that a new Persian identity, of unity, language-based, arises. And once that these goals have been accomplished, this new form of purified Persian should be taught to children en masse from a very young age, both at home and at education institutions; that's the only way in which this project can be tenable and successful. You guys mght even look into the work of "Turkish purism" that Attatürk undertook in the early XXth century for inspiration and ideas. Now, I am not saying that the foreign-influenced part of the current version of Persian we have today, is meant to be discarded; it can perfectly coexist, side by side, with the autochtonous Persian, just like as in English there are uncountable instances of both a Germanic and a Romance word for the very same object or concept, with slight differences in the nuance; something that contributes to inmensly enrich the language.
I hope to have said something with sense and of some use, in the name of the great respect I feel for the Persian people, and the high regard and esteem with which I hold them.
Long life to the Iranian heritage, and best regards.
@@joseignacio512 Thank you for caring and your kind words.
I agree with all that you said, and i believe many people are doing something about it in the backgroud, they're just waiting for the right time to put the project in action and it is possible little by little but what fears me the most is if people don't support it, i hope not.
I must say that Arabic was replaced instead of Persian after the invasion, around 1300 years ago and then got revived but the revived version wasn't pure Persian, it was mixed alot with Arabic, the version we have now is much more purified but still... Lots of Arabic words.
And i think all languages are beautiful but i like it when it is alive, not half alive and hurt by other languages, what we have here is messy and i mean no offence to Arabs and the Arabic language but i wouldn't like it even if English was messed by some other languages.
What do you you suggest for the script? The one we used for Middle Persian language and Avestan or Latin?
@@pdRM6374 I think that regarding the script, making a transitiom to a Latin-based writing system that clearly and simply reflects accurately the spoken language is the best option, just like it was done with Turkish; it is a project that very few Iranians currently would support though, imho.
By the way, it is very important to make it clear that I am not Persian, and neither Iranian.
Best regards.
I agree completely. I am learning Persian but I want to speak what I call "Reinvigorated Parsi", bringing back as many original words as possible, removing the colonial Arab influence even as far as Romanizing the language completely (or reviving the Pahlavi Script perhaps?)
@@CheLanguages Reviving the Pahlavi script would be quite interesting and a huge success for those seeking to bring forth a Persian Renaissance. However, I am not aware of how does that script work. Is it syllabic? Is it a letter-by-letter system, like Korean hangeul? Are vowels displayed in it? All of those are very important aspects to take into account, because, from the very few readings I have done, a Latin-based writing system that accurately reflects the spoken language as it is, has time and time again proven to be one of the cards on the sleeve available.
DIsclosure: I am not a linguist nor scholar; I just have read a little bit on several subjects.
Best regards.

Hebrew wasn't spoken as an everyday language, yet was studied and used in prayers, studying Talmud and Torah, so it wasn't quite dead, it was just pushed as a secular everyday language used in Israel where it became a "living language". Jews around the world also speak depending on where they live a sort of Spanish called Ladino, Mizrahi Jews speak Arabic and Farsi. They will always know Hebrew for prayers & learning.
Yes of course, I've talked about it on the channel before
Sure, but it isn't the same Hebrew.
the isle of mann is not part of the united Kingdom, nor is it an autonomous territory of the uk. it is a crown dependency of the United kingdom, as are jersey and gurnsey. this means king Charles is their head of state just like the rest of the commonwealth but the isle of man makes all its own laws and is almost idependant. the thing seperating it from being an independant commonwealth nation is it allows the uk to manage foreighn relations with other countries.
Didn't I say Crown Dependency?
@@CheLanguages Yeah, but you also described it as an island that belongs to the UK. I t is a little bit imprecise. Man and each of the four Channel Islands are all independent states ruled by the English monarch since medieval times, but they are not part of England or the UK. They defer to the UK to handle their foreign policy, defense, and a few other things. When the UK was in the EU , people from these places had a passport that looked like the normal British passport except the cover also bore the name of their home island as none of these islands were EU members or in Schengen area and thus were treated the same as someone from say Canada or Japan by the EU.
@@donkeysaurusrex7881 oh interesting, I didn't realize that about the passports
Sure, but I don't think Manx people will be deported from Britain because they overstayed their visit or got employment, same with the old Norman Islands of Jersey, Guernsey and the other Channel islands.
Great video!
Thank you so much!!
Whoever revitalized the languages as Hebrew and other ones - are heroic people.
As a speaker of endangered Pamiri language, a lot could be learnt from these great hostoric people.
I better look into Pamiri, your language might end up featuring on a new video soon!
Shalom.
I'm really into language revitalization and think Hebrew is one of the best examples.
Unfortunately, I'm not a linguist though. My grand-grand father was the first person who tried to come up with an alphabet for one of the Pamiri languages. This attempt cost him several years of prison during the red terror under Stalin. He was thrown in jail, his alphabet and books confiscated and Pamiris denied to use their languages on TV, Radio, Newspapers across Tajikistan (or USSR back then).
This irony is - even today we are not allowed to do so. 100 years later.
I once met a person from Israel and I mentioned how much I admire Eliezer Ben-Yehuda's role in revitalizing Hebrew.
The person said "Yeah. He was crazy".
Crazy? The guy revitalized the language and the nation per-se.
Its fascinating how people take for granted the fact that they have schools, science, newspapers and TV in their mother tong. they don't realize how lucky they are and what it cost to those who contributed to it.
A revived language is not the same as the original language, it is similar but not the same. We can all learn to speak Imperial Latin as Octavian spoke when he became the first Emperor of Rome, but we would have a lot of things that there are no Latin words for or Latin words that have no meaning today. We don't use gladii anymore, we don't wear the toga or tunica anymore.
Thumbnail looks much better, you must be a lucky guy...

Manx never ceased to be a spoken language. As such, can it truly be said that it was ever dead?
It was dead because the last native speaker died, a language only goes extinct when all it's speakers are gone

I live in Cornwall and I know a little bit of Cornish. Second homes are a problem especially with the average wage here being less than someone who works in Poland (around $22,000, could be as low as $18,000). The central parts of the regions like Kelliwik, Restormel, Kernow Kledh all have major issues and are sites of degradation.
I think I mentioned the second home problem. It's really sad and I believe Cornwall should have a devolved parliament like Wales. May the language continue to thrive!
@@CheLanguages Oh yeah the language seems to be doing great, don't know about statistics after 2017 though as the government dropped support for the Cornish language and it's now all the council's responsibility.

@@DoubleWhopperWithCheese No offence but I see Cornwall and Devon as largely the same, tbh I forgot Devon exists and I always include it when talking about Cornish devolution or rarely independence
@@CheLanguages I don't take offence but do be careful though when saying that there be some proper Cornish and Devon peoples who would throw up their pitchforks (even though the same they are). Definitely not independence though unless they want to become a third world country.
@@DoubleWhopperWithCheese yes I agree, independence would lead to a third-world country in Europe, probably even poorer than Moldova! I have heard some talk about it though.

What about Scots Gaelic and Irish. The spelling is horrid, my viewpoint. I believe Irish has modernized its spelling.
“Moccasin” is indeed used in New England English. Stress is on the first syllable. Thumbnail is strong. “Natick” is pronounced “NAY-tick”. I grew up partly in neighboring Wellesley.

@Che Languages - I notice you pronounce Manx as /mænsk/. Was this a deliberate choice? As far as I am aware, /mænks/ has long been the standard English pronunciation. Is /mænsk/ a local pronunciation on Man? I imagine that _historically_ it must have been the pronunciation (the OED shows _Maniske_ and _Manske_ as sixteenth century spellings, replaced by _Mancks/Manques/Manks_ in the seventeenth, and _Manx_ coming in in the nineteenth century).
No, it wasn't deliberate. I didn't even notice me doing that. It's a linguistic phenomenon known as metathesis where consonants swap over, like pronouncing asterisk as "asterix" as a lot of people do. I must has accidentally have done this the other way around without realizing this

Phoenician language needs to be revived
אמת!
Originally it was written without vowels. How can we reconstruct the vowel sounds of it's words?
@@JSharpe427 That is the case with most Afro-Asiatic languages, they are abjads. Phoenician and Hebrew were similar enought to be mutually intelligible. Unfortunately the Phoenicians cared more about commerce than literature, there isn't much of their writing to know the exact differences in pronunciation between Hebrew and Phoenician, so it's would be a guess. Even without vowel indicators Semitic languages don't vary that much with their five vowels, the main thing is the tri-consonantal root system.
@Ponto-zv9vf maybe that is why semitic languages of the middle east don't seem to be on making signs for vowels. Because of the trip consonantal roots

@@typhoon2minerva mishpokhe is actually Hebrew! Though it's Mishpakha in Hebrew
@@CheLanguages it sounds semitic actually which means family right?
The Manx flag ROCKS.
It's similar to Sicilia too
Very insteresting the last comment.
I'm glad you found the video interesting. Feel free to leave as many comments as you like if you have any questions
Hebrew wasnt so much revived but resconstructed. Modern Hebrew is a completely differnt language to Biblical hebrew, grammatically and phonologically. Its is SVO while the ancient was VSO.
The thing is, it didn't happen out of nowhere. Modern Hebrew grammar had already more or less been codified during the Middle Ages, Hebrew never really went extinct, it was used in literature and liturgy continuously and still evolved during that time. The switch to SVO happened during the Middle Ages in fact
It would be silly for modern languages to go back to their older forms. Think about it. Look up Shakespearean English or the English used by Chaucer. Take a look at the King James' Bible, it was written in archaic style so it would sound more authoritative than the English of the time the book was written. Begat, smite..
The Isle of Man isn’t in the UK.
🤓🤓🤓 technically it's under UK rule, even if it's not part of it. It's not part of France nor Russia, it's considered the same land legally as UK, it's waters give the UK it's EEZ, not Ireland
We know that sport. So are you saying a Manx person would get the third degree for going to the UK to live and work like an Australian would?
God willing , Coptic will be revived as the true Egyptian Language and the Lingva Latina will be reborn as the Lingva Franca of all Latins , allowing them to properly understand how they are one great Roman people .
Amen to that!
Coptic isn't Egyptian. And Egyptian changed over time. Even today's Egyptologists cannot speak Egyptian, and I doubt Champollion who studied Coptic from a priest could either. So which Latin are you recommending? That of Martial and Juvenal or the Plinies?
@@Ponto-zv9vf
Coptic is Egyptian , keep crying .And either Classical of Cicero or Ecclesiastical works .
I've found a treasure channel, Please upgrade the narration.
What do you mean by narration needs upgrading? As in audio quality?
@@CheLanguages It needs more passion for the subject. I'm just saying.
@@jumo004 bruh
@@CheLanguages Sir, I wish you well. It's difficult to find quality language resources You do them well. Let's say we're not discussing languages over coffee but more like you're a passionate professor. That would be nice.
@@jumo004 I guess I'll see what I can do, but I don't wanna become a "hey guys what's up and welcome back to another video!!!" kind of RUclipsr

Manx is mutually intelligible with Irish and Gàidhlig.
What's Gàidhlig?
That's cool, I didn't realize they were intelligible
@@CheLanguages Gàidhlig is what you call Scottish Gaelic. This is what native speakers call the language.
@@ivandinsmore6217 ah thank you!
He is saying Gaelic in their spelling. I don't believe Irish and Scots Gaelic and Manx are mutually intelligible. Some linguists that understand many Semitic languages can understand Maltese, but the average person that speaks Hebrew or some form of Arabic wouldn't.
And Hebrew?
I mentioned it at the beginning, I also have a big Hebrew project coming up, so I'm saving it for that
@@CheLanguages OK, I didn't the first minute because of the ads.
@@MichaelPeterFustumum ah, understandable. I hope the ads did not ruin your experience watching this video
@@CheLanguages No.
I am Native 👍
Native speaker of what?
@@CheLanguages No Native American
@@Tino16400 So what are you a native of?
@@CheLanguages america
@@SweeterThanFiction. he said "no native American", I'm confused, is he not a native American or did he forget the comma?
שלום חברי .
שלום! מה שלומך?
Please, all my best wishes, but modify (to better) your locution.
What do you mean?
I don't want to sound rude but could you speak louder?
Not rude, I understand. My new video (coming out today) should be better, I figured out some of the audio settings on my new editing software. Check it out later and let me know if it's any better!
@@CheLanguages thanks for reply and looking forward to watch new video
@@filip-z-konopii no problem, I hope you enjoy it!
Hi Che.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to give you a small correction; it's חידוש שפות. The של is unnecessary, and the reflexive form suggests that it happens by itself.
The binyan should be piel, not hitpael.
Shalom and thank you on your suggestion, but I am guessing you're coming from a more Biblical Hebrew perspective than a Modern one. My girlfriend (native Yisraelit) is the one who made the title as התחדשות means "revival" or in the modern language, חידוש means something more like "renewal" or "innovation" depending on the heksher. Technically the של is unnecessary, but Modern Hebrew speakers love to throw it everywhere which is why it's there. In my own personal (and slightly more formal) Hebrew I would have phrased it התחדשות שפות in construct state
@CheLanguages i'm a native modern Hebrew speaker too.
חידוש as a noun means innovation, but as an infinitive it means to renew something.
התחדשות means to renew (one self)
well thank you for your perspective
The Isle of Mann is not apart of the UK
Yes, it is. It's a Crown Dependency of the UK
@@CheLanguages No, or at least it's a bit complicated. It's headed by the British Crown (who are also the head of the UK) but it's not integrally part of the UK nor is it an Overseas Territory.
They're self-governing and the UK only deals with them in terms of foreign relations and defense. It's comparable to the relationship of a free associated state, such as New Zealand and the countries of Cook Islands and Niue.
@@thedarkenigma3834 but it's still British territory, as opposed to bring a Commonwealth country of it's own
@@CheLanguages It is a Crown Dependency. Not a Crown dependency of the uk. The king of the UK owns it, not the UK itself
@@funfoxvlad7309 Yes, but what country is it a part of? Italy? Russia? The Democratic Republic of the Congo? No, it's territory of the UK, yes it may be territory of the crown by technicality, but it is not an independent state, it's part of one already.
I thought you were from Israel.
I'm a Jew from England, I'm not in Israel yet but will be soon hopefully

What’s the point? We struggle with too many languages as it is. (Too many for me to learn, and I like learning them and how they work.) Why create more divisions between people?
Average communist 💀
Bringing back languages helps cultures reconnect with themselves, not create divisions
@@CheLanguages What do you mean by "helps cultures reconnect with themselves"? And why is this a good thing?
@@CheLanguages Don't be silly.
@@robinharwood5044 A community losing their language in place of another is also a loss in their culture. Often language has a strong connection to a certain culture, for example, long after it ceased to be used as a spoken language, Hebrew still had a massive influence on Jews around the world. The revival of Hebrew also helped to bring about a general revitalization in Jewish culture and make many Jews proud and not ashamed to be Jewish. A similar thing is happening to the Barngarla people
The word is ‘tetraphthong’, not ‘quartphthong’ (the roots are Greek, not Latin). And It's a real word, although it's apparently debated whether it refers to anything real. You can see the word used at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottscheerish citing a book from 1908.
Aha great to know!
