As a Russian native speaker and (still) monolingual beta who's learning English and has only B1 level, I can't take this challenge cuz it's too challenging and practically impossible to do. I'm glad that you decided to accept this challenge though, my fellow language-learning comrade. 🙌
Yes! We need a special council of linguists consisting of Obama, Ikena, that Richard guy, Steve Kaufman, and Language Simp! Imagine what they could achieve!
They speak Uralic language. Dutch sailor Steven van Seagal recorded in 17th century two words of it, when they were trying to kill him: "Koka kola". van Seagal was saved by his black belt level aikido skills and home in Amsterdam he studied all languages in the world. He decided that it sounds Finnic enough, and beated everybody who didn't accept it.
@@Ramondenner1991 Yes, van Seagal had breaking news also for the polyglots, who were bragging on the market places and surprising the local people by speaking particular dialect of their language or at least being able to say hello. When van Seagal asked them using his famous hand gestures, many of them admitted being monoglots, who just happen to speak 30+ languages.
The Duolingo thing is a good idea. Here's another one to try: 1. Learn astral projection. 2. Project to Sentinel Island. 3. Do this repeatedly until you've picked up the language. 4. Go to island in a hazmat suit and plate armor. 5. Use your language powers to set yourself up as a god-king.
That would be really tough for many reasons. For example: Often, when one leaves his body, he goes to another vibrational plane, so things aren't exactly as they are in this physical plane. Also, getting to the island consistently would not be easy either. Not to mention how recollection of out-of-body experience is often murky, depending on the degree of lucidity of the projector. I think a much more effective idea would be to send drones equipped with cameras and microphones that can position themselves advantageously on top of trees and send the collected data in real time. With multiple of those spread throughout the island over an extended period of time, I think it might be possible to gather information not just about their language, but also about how the sentilese live.
Then,(though this is a little far-fetched) if we could somehow contrive a machine that could generate a hologram resembling the kind they have in star wars for communication, we could go to the island, having learned the language, now being totally impervious to their arrows and not being a health hazard for them; this way, we could try to teach them some aspects of civilization, as in the indigenous legend of Sumé, from Brazil, whom the catholics believe to have been St. Thomas.
I love going to North Sentinel Island, they are really good teachers. Also, whenever I speak their language, they get so shocked; they shoot celebratory arrows and throw spears because they are so surprised.
@@pg-jr8sy I'd imagine it's just how other human cultures are/were. Women didn't usually go out and fight; they generally were the ones taking care of the children, so I'd imagine they saw a woman on board as a sign of peace
More videos need a reminder to respect the laws established by the Indian government. It's just a good thing to keep in mind whether you're planning on risking your life and those of an entire nation in order to upgrade to Forbidden Ultra Deluxe Megapolyglot Gammachad Plus X or not.
An Indian woman describes her surprisingly friendly linguistic interaction with the Sentinelese: "I called out to them to come and collect the coconuts using tribal words I had picked up while working with the other tribes in the region"
Hey, we actually already know a little bit about the Sentinelese language. "nariyali jaba jaba" means "more coconuts" (literally, "coconuts more more"). I'm sure we can simply derive the rest based on this information.
@@leonhardeuler7647 As the expedition was Indian, there is nothing strange if for making themselves understandable they used a word they just heard being used for coconuts.
As an indian native who is fluent in bollywood language , i would like to claim that this challenge is very easy , because my uncle goes to the sentinel island everyday to catch fish and shock the locals
I'm half Indian and used my language skills to get to the centre of the island. There was a giant statue of a naked Xiaomanyc in the middle of a circle of mud huts
I really do think you could very well drop microphones disguised as rocks to record their language. The recordings could be sent wirelessly to a nearby vessel, or through satellite.
@@Salmanul_ It would be very difficult. I'm no linguist, but we could start with observing patterns in their speech or something. Look for something to grasp, and then work from there. It's extremely hard work. The movie Arrival tackles the issue of translating something completely and (in this movie's case) literally alien, and does so in a semi-realistic way. The difference is the alien language was only in written form. The Sentinelese language would only be in spoken form. There's also the case that Sentinelese could be a sister language from a nearby culture, and not a completely isolated language. That'd make the job easier.
@@_P2M_ but in arrival you can interact with each other, in this case we cannot, even with writting we had already know what that meant but there's? we dont know
@@_P2M_ something that can help is just SVO or other system and grammar, even languages with same history that was separated not that long time ago has different vocabulary... look for germanic languages, these are totally different in many cases. Even slovian's ones is different though they are one language 900-1200 years ago (most of slovian languages) isolation just means not stoling vocabulary but creating by their own, it just what can make it easier but if they was isolated many many years ago, that could be problem with not them but us, our changes in our language not their to sum this up, if it was at least indioeuroperian we can try to solve grammar but if not, good luck ;), that could be hard like sha or another encrypting system. Not it's not that easy like was in arrival, yes we can analyze, but we have to have many examples, many and at least know probably meaning of majority of these examples (that's why main character was trying to get a basic phrases at beggining). we don't know even if they counting the time in the same way (theres really exist languages that don't), we don't know if they have the same idea of verbs this is the most isolated language that existed in history, the second one was japan for the most history and look Japan still even can be truly qualificated to the same group as neighbors, we dont know any language that is similiar to japan etc. and look again japan was isolated just for short time defacto and not 100% and grammar of this language is one of the most extraordinary in the world (they defacto dont have Verbs that works in the same way etc.), so what could happen to that tribe? many there's i can bet no chance that we have something shared. So it will be just encrypting even worse than enigma, even worse many times
For any problems on translating the languages without 2 way communication is to see if there are any other languages that are related to it. I seen another comment saying some woman interacted with them using the nearby tribal languages and it seemed to do well (their source was National Geographic, I haven't checked up on it tho). I think it could also work if we get a bunch of crates and fill them with clothes, pictures, some tools and instructions. Obviously not a phone, but something that'd be pretty nifty and actually useful for them to use such as the wheel or a fishing rod, flute, drums, guitar (just to hear them jam out on the microphones). Make it clear we're trying to communicate while keeping our distance. After we learn more of their language we could send more crates out but this time we'll develop a script. We'll get some materials that they also have and write on them how they're spoken, this may be a complete failure but still possible if we make the picture instructions clear enough.
@@fonkedonke I read on Wikipedia that someone from a nearby indigenous culture that's related to the Sentinelese was sent there and reportedly they couldn't understand a single word, meaning the languages had drifted to the point of being mutually unintelligible. That doesn't say much, though. French and Spanish are mutually unintelligible, even though they're both part of the Romance language family. However, it takes relatively low effort for one to learn the other's language, or at least make some basic sense of it. I find it difficult to believe Sentinelese could've drifted so far that it would be like an English speaker learning something like Arabic or Chinese.
I saw a documentary on this tribe, that they also incorporated animal sounds. This is truly next level so one further obstacle is learning an animal language.
There are islands close to Sentinel island which are open for tourism, and there are indigenous people there who speak Andamanese languages, after the Andaman islands . The language of the Sentinelese people might be related , but we can't be certain about this .
honestly the microphone idea, and the whole concept of learning their language and speak to them in it, is actually pretty smart and could lead to them accepting strangers.
@@WeebJailin this case just send some sterile drone machine like Nasa did in Mars (and let the drone live with them…they will stay away first and try to destroy it but in the end they will deal with it). And it will be a good exercice for our AI model to try to make with this machine a first contact (instead of the traditional make a baby with one native)
Someone suggested making a giant drone show at night in the shape of a human face speaking. It would be very unethical but kind of crazy to think how you could appear as a god just from technological advance. Anyway besides aliens the next best thing would be dolphins. Or releasing great apes that know sign language in the wild and convince them to teach it to others.
Here's the plan: - getting around the coast guard is easy... because they just guard... (you know) THE COAST! - so we go underwater! this way we dodge all of the their ships and blockade completely unnoticed!! - dodging arrows and spears! yes, that's obviously a problem BUT there is a solution for this too (other than hard armor!) - we go AT NIGHT! we surface on the island at pitch black cloudy starless night!! provides cover, provides time to setup camp and unless the native have somehow evolved to exist without sleep it also provides stealth to explore the island unnoticed! - once we setup a good fortified location impenetrable to arrows and stones we can then further attempt contact with the natives - as for the diseases problem, we also go for detailed medical examination and vaccination before the trip to make sure we're not carrying any dangerous type of viruses within our bodies and of course (be careful to avoid kissing or coughing at the natives) -- that's all! now, we are free to communicate and socialize to our hearts content! and be proclaimed the first hyperpolyglot gigachad to ever conquer this milestone!
How much would the language have dicverged it would be better to compile the meaning of all words of all the diferent languages in the region and all the ones with similar meanings are the oldest avoid using words with oposite of really diferent meanings
The time when the Sentinelese were friendly with outsiders was when a guy started shouting words like "come closer " in the Jarawa language and it seemed that they repeated some other similar words in Jarawa as the two tribes are close to each other. So I think its obvious to say that its in the same language family as Andamanese, Onge and Jarawa.
Maybe this language hasn't change since thousands of years because of isolation. It's probably the last member of an extinct language family. I'm sure it sounds like a mix between swahili and hindi
Hindi is Indo-European language, there's no way it'll be any closer to Hindi, that being said English might be closer to Hindi compared to this language.
1. Drop some sterilized microphones on the island so we can conduct mass surveillance on the population. 2. Convert all of the sounds into IPA or similar so that they can be stored as text. 3. Feed one of those LLM AI chatbot models unknown sentinalese in its training set, and then ask it to translate. 4. You now have a chatGPT as your first native speaker who isn't Sentinalese. 5. Let ChatGPT create lesson plans for teaching the language. 6. Go there, speak in fluent Sentinalese, get shot in the face anyway.
Honestly, there are definitely some underrated DLCs I've been exploring the Tay Nguyen DLC, basically nobody cares about the DLC outside of Indochina, so it is definitely worth playing It is also much safer than playing the Amazonia or New Guinea DLCs
Given the fact such tribe lives in a tiny isolated island, I'd expect the language to be extremely poor when it comes to vocabulary...or literally be extremely irrationally complicated with at least 100 ways to call the same object and 30 ways to conjugate the same verb.
The disease issue had not occurred to me. If I sneezed, within a close enough range of a native, before succumbing to all the arrows, I might get ultimate revenge for them killing me.
There was actually one time that outsiders contacted them, it's on youtube. The sentinelese seem to understand the word 'daga', which is 'coconut'. So, I guess we know one word in that language.
Duolingo should conduct daily airdrops of tablets preinstalled with their app and blasting "You're making Duo sad" over loudspeakers. Maybe the Sentinelese will have finally met their match!
I, being the alpha gigachad gymbro, volunteer to not only shock these natives with my near perfect sentinese tones and acupunctures, but I will also get them insanely jacked and start an army to conquer THE WORLD. WHO'S WITH ME?!
Perhaps one day they will be friends with others just like Jarawa tribe (a tribe from another Andaman island) who (obviously) look alike the Sentinelese tribe and also have linguistic similarities. [Unfortunately however the Jarawa tribe suffered an outbreaks of measles (around 2000s if I remember correctly) following their contacts with outsiders]
The reason there is no electronic surveillance of the Sentinelese people is that they do hammer into tools any metal object they come across, and since they have no knowledge of how poisonous electronic components are, dropping electronic devices on their island is as risky as coughing upwind of them.
My requirements for this language: -have 30 cases -have 10 grammatical numbers -have 20 gramatical genders (including 5 genders for spears, a gender for sand, arrows, bows, gigachad polyglots) -BE HARD TO LEARN -being a language known in the whole universe
The “moin moin“ was absolutely shocking for me (although I was wondering if Aust(ral)ians (?) use it). So I as a native German speaker tried to throw my wallet in your direction. Unfortunately, I do not speak enough languages and thereby did not obtain the ability to throw wallets some thousand kilometers. Sorry for that.
Sentineleese how Here is how we might learn something about the lanugage of the North Sentineleese: From satelite images gather signs of patterns of the movement of the people, using infra red imaging. Then send in a drone to pick up a stone from a place where the folks gather, and make sure you do it while the Sentineleese are somewhere else. The you make a copy of the stone, inside of which is a very effective battery and some hardware which can record what the people say. After some time send in a drone to replace the electronic dummy with the original stone. While doing this, make absolutely sure that you in no way transfer any disease to either drone or stone. Then get AI to analyse and play with it.
If I were you I would be caution with what you say, here in the Balkans we don't play games, you are starting a war with Portugal. Just kidding I really like your channel, hope the best for you.
I visited that island in 2010! Our boat got stuck on a sandbar during low tide and we spent the evening on the shore. They all speak American, but with German accents. Weird right?
Take your yacht as close as you can legally get to the island and then take your submersible (underwater and out of sight) most of the rest of the way there. Exit the submersible and scuba dive to a beach where the Sentinalese aren't out fishing and sneak onshore (after discerning a place to hide). Hide. Then set up your parabolic microphone and recorder and record several hours worth of speech. Sneak back to the ocean, scuba back to your sub, sneak back to your yacht and take the recording to a language expert or 3. Easy. :p

honestly the microphone idea, and the whole concept of learning their language and speak to them in it, is actually pretty smart and could lead to them accepting strangers.
except when one of them finds a microphone and thinks it's some weapon from god meant to destroy them
@@WeebJailin this case just send some sterile drone machine like Nasa did in Mars (and let the drone live with them…they will stay away first and try to destroy it but in the end they will deal with it). And it will be a good exercice for our AI model to try to make with this machine a first contact (instead of the traditional make a baby with one native)
The only issue is ethics because that’s what most societies consider a breach of basic privacy
Someone suggested making a giant drone show at night in the shape of a human face speaking. It would be very unethical but kind of crazy to think how you could appear as a god just from technological advance.
Anyway besides aliens the next best thing would be dolphins. Or releasing great apes that know sign language in the wild and convince them to teach it to others.
@@WeebJail what if they don't believe in god
As an italian, I can confirm you say "arrivederci" as if it was an AI generated sound. Perfect

Does the language of South Sentinel Island count?
No
Interestingly from what I found, no one lives on the South Island
Here's the plan:
- getting around the coast guard is easy... because they just guard... (you know) THE COAST!
- so we go underwater! this way we dodge all of the their ships and blockade completely unnoticed!!
- dodging arrows and spears! yes, that's obviously a problem BUT there is a solution for this too (other than hard armor!)
- we go AT NIGHT! we surface on the island at pitch black cloudy starless night!! provides cover, provides time to setup camp and unless the native have somehow evolved to exist without sleep it also provides stealth to explore the island unnoticed!
- once we setup a good fortified location impenetrable to arrows and stones we can then further attempt contact with the natives
- as for the diseases problem, we also go for detailed medical examination and vaccination before the trip to make sure we're not carrying any dangerous type of viruses within our bodies and of course (be careful to avoid kissing or coughing at the natives)
-- that's all! now, we are free to communicate and socialize to our hearts content! and be proclaimed the first hyperpolyglot gigachad to ever conquer this milestone!
Surely, this will work out as planned, right?
R…right?
Fun fact: The Pope is a polyglot gigachad alpha male being able to speak 8 languages.
I highly doubt Silbo Gomero has been learned by any non-native speakers. Still yet-to-be-unlocked.
Just go to South Sentinel island and learn the language there.
im sure theyd happily accept him
How much would the language have dicverged it would be better to compile the meaning of all words of all the diferent languages in the region and all the ones with similar meanings are the oldest avoid using words with oposite of really diferent meanings
Damnit, I'm only an alpha bilingual monkey.
The video we didn't ask but all waited for
The time when the Sentinelese were friendly with outsiders was when a guy started shouting words like "come closer " in the Jarawa language and it seemed that they repeated some other similar words in Jarawa as the two tribes are close to each other. So I think its obvious to say that its in the same language family as Andamanese, Onge and Jarawa.
But how far has it diverged since there has been no contact between the tribes on other nearby iskands for a long time
Urdu is a great language
Damn that "arrivederci" pronunciation was better than mine, and I'm Italian.
Maybe this language hasn't change since thousands of years because of isolation. It's probably the last member of an extinct language family. I'm sure it sounds like a mix between swahili and hindi
Hindi is Indo-European language, there's no way it'll be any closer to Hindi, that being said English might be closer to Hindi compared to this language.
I want the hyperpolyglot gigachad shirt too
Language Simp should open a store.
1. Drop some sterilized microphones on the island so we can conduct mass surveillance on the population.
2. Convert all of the sounds into IPA or similar so that they can be stored as text.
3. Feed one of those LLM AI chatbot models unknown sentinalese in its training set, and then ask it to translate.
4. You now have a chatGPT as your first native speaker who isn't Sentinalese.
5. Let ChatGPT create lesson plans for teaching the language.
6. Go there, speak in fluent Sentinalese, get shot in the face anyway.
Honestly, there are definitely some underrated DLCs
I've been exploring the Tay Nguyen DLC, basically nobody cares about the DLC outside of Indochina, so it is definitely worth playing
It is also much safer than playing the Amazonia or New Guinea DLCs
Mad respect for calling yourself out.
I love how you can be completely serious about that bounty and still never have to worry about paying out.
Given the fact such tribe lives in a tiny isolated island, I'd expect the language to be extremely poor when it comes to vocabulary...or literally be extremely irrationally complicated with at least 100 ways to call the same object and 30 ways to conjugate the same verb.
The disease issue had not occurred to me. If I sneezed, within a close enough range of a native, before succumbing to all the arrows, I might get ultimate revenge for them killing me.
There was actually one time that outsiders contacted them, it's on youtube. The sentinelese seem to understand the word 'daga', which is 'coconut'. So, I guess we know one word in that language.
I think you're refering to that one Australian guy. He actually went to Vanuatu, not North Sentinel.
Talks about not breaking Indian laws. Talks about new DLC.
I can figure the rest of it out!!👍👍
One day I will become a hyperpolyglot gigachad
I assume you are make fun of the last videos of Xiaoma in the jungle with the indigenous people 🤣🤣
He must watch SunnyV2. No way he just recalled this random-ass island out of nowhere. Specifically within this week.
Sentinelese is closely related to angolan portuguese according to what i just made up
Yeah, and 4,20% of the vocabulary comes from Uruguayan Portuguese According to other thing I just made up
More to Konkani Portuguese
1:24 Proud to be in this video.
Moin Moin and using austrian flag
*servus intensifies*
Duolingo should conduct daily airdrops of tablets preinstalled with their app and blasting "You're making Duo sad" over loudspeakers. Maybe the Sentinelese will have finally met their match!
I, being the alpha gigachad gymbro, volunteer to not only shock these natives with my near perfect sentinese tones and acupunctures, but I will also get them insanely jacked and start an army to conquer THE WORLD. WHO'S WITH ME?!
I donʼt speak English language. What is “jacked” and what has it to do with Jack? Which Jack are we talking about?

Единственная проблема это этические нормы. Хотя проблемой это сложно назвать, так, пустяки
Language simp, this is beautiful
Perhaps one day they will be friends with others just like Jarawa tribe (a tribe from another Andaman island) who (obviously) look alike the Sentinelese tribe and also have linguistic similarities.
[Unfortunately however the Jarawa tribe suffered an outbreaks of measles (around 2000s if I remember correctly) following their contacts with outsiders]
pin if you can shock native Albanians with ancient Albanian sign language
native ancient albanian deaf people*
Madhumala Chattopadhyay, the Indian women who interacted with the Sentinelese tribe and made them put their arrows down.
so now u know who to ask
I thought the warning to obey all Indian laws was just a joke, but it turned out to be a real warning considering the subject
I remember that missionary that killed 80 % of them just by sneezing at them.
I’m really curious how many countries he can actually speak fluently.
I only speak America
The reason there is no electronic surveillance of the Sentinelese people is that they do hammer into tools any metal object they come across, and since they have no knowledge of how poisonous electronic components are, dropping electronic devices on their island is as risky as coughing upwind of them.
Now a tiny little part of me wants to go to North Sentinel Island in a hazmat suit and bulletproof armour just to see what it's like there
Omg not the japanese when talking about korean 😭😂

My requirements for this language:
-have 30 cases
-have 10 grammatical numbers
-have 20 gramatical genders (including 5 genders for spears, a gender for sand, arrows, bows, gigachad polyglots)
-BE HARD TO LEARN
-being a language known in the whole universe
The
“moin moin“
was absolutely shocking for me (although I was wondering if Aust(ral)ians (?) use it). So I as a native German speaker tried to throw my wallet in your direction. Unfortunately, I do not speak enough languages and thereby did not obtain the ability to throw wallets some thousand kilometers. Sorry for that.
We don't use it lmao
I think you get a lifetime ban from Austria if you greet an Austrian like that.
And in nothern germany you will get looked at weirdly. Just say moin, never say moin moin.
Sentineleese how
Here is how we might learn something
about the lanugage of the North Sentineleese:
From satelite images gather signs of patterns
of the movement of the people, using infra red imaging.
Then send in a drone to pick up a stone
from a place where the folks gather,
and make sure you do it
while the Sentineleese are somewhere else.
The you make a copy of the stone, inside of which
is a very effective battery and some hardware
which can record what the people say.
After some time send in a drone to
replace the electronic dummy with the original stone.
While doing this, make absolutely sure
that you in no way transfer any disease
to either drone or stone.
Then get AI to analyse and play with it.
only the chaddest of polyglots can do this challenge
If I were you I would be caution with what you say, here in the Balkans we don't play games, you are starting a war with Portugal.
Just kidding I really like your channel, hope the best for you.

i want to get robots to go explore the island
I visited that island in 2010! Our boat got stuck on a sandbar during low tide and we spent the evening on the shore.
They all speak American, but with German accents. Weird right?
Take your yacht as close as you can legally get to the island and then take your submersible (underwater and out of sight) most of the rest of the way there. Exit the submersible and scuba dive to a beach where the Sentinalese aren't out fishing and sneak onshore (after discerning a place to hide). Hide. Then set up your parabolic microphone and recorder and record several hours worth of speech. Sneak back to the ocean, scuba back to your sub, sneak back to your yacht and take the recording to a language expert or 3. Easy. :p
