I subscribed to you a long time ago, but this is the first video I actually watched. I have seen several takes on this subject and I was curious how you would present it. Each language group flows into the next so you did that very nicely. Хвала ти пуно!
In wales welsh was only 500,000 speakers in 2015. Now it's about 866,000. It's soon going to be the most spoken language in Wales. So Ig we lucky. I hope the same for the rest
The 866,000 figure is quite innaccurate. The total number of fluent speakers is likely around 650,000. The question posed for the 866,000 figure didn't specify how fluent people were. So many people will have said they spoke Welsh when they only know a very basic amount.
@@evandxvies Haha. Ta waith, welsh is 100% on the rose again. I dont think it will ever replace English in many areas personally but I'm sure it will remain the community language of many in the west and north.
@@evandxvies Cardiff has many Welsh speakers and will always have communities there. But I just cant see how it would ever replace English as the daily language of everyone there again.
The three Gaelic languages are much more mutually intelligible as they all come from old irish. I speak Scots Gaelic to a b1 level(that's my guess 😂) and I can read basic irish and some manx but manx iz written weirdly, based on the english spelling system kinda
Kurdish language is very special, they have two big dialect Called Sorani and Kurmanji, In this two dialect they have many bransch like zaza, gorani, hawramani, feyli and so on. Every kurdish city have their own way to speak kurdish in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran and even armenia and Azerbajdzjan.

Proto Slavic =/= Old Church Slavonic. Old Church Slavonic was just a standarized dialect of the slavic language in that specific area. Bulgarians sometimes claim that their language is the oldest slavic language because of that and it's ridiculous since it's obviously a very different language than modern Bulgarian. "Polish was influenced a lot by Old Church Slavonic, preserving nasal sounds like ą and ę" ... no. Just no. Even if we switch OCS to just Proto Slavic it's still so wrong to say something like this. Proto Slavic had nasal sounds and Polish happens to be the only one to have preserved them for so long. OCS never had any major influence in this area of Europe. The Byzantine Empire never managed to spread its influence this far west. By the time Poland had a chance of contact with that language the country was already dominated by catholic influence, the language of the church was latin and later the priests started using Polish - never OCS.
