Current situation: Caddo has today around 20 elder speakers which on top of that speak at least two different dialects, none of which are the mostly recorded one in writing. It's the caddoan language with the most native speakers which is good for documentation. Arikara has around 15 speakers, not all of them are elder as fortunately had a speaker that was a teacher of languages and fluent in Arikara. Pawnee has the best projection of them all. Counting speakers and students, it has 79 speakers even tho none of them are native and only around 10 are fluent. It has a lot of learning content and there is a school in this language. Wichita, shown here as extinct, it is not yet even tho at the verge. Last speaker died in 2016, today there are 4 people with basic conversation skills but no further knowledge on the language. Extinction is now unavoidable. Kitsai got extinct around the 30s
And as usual, langueges dissapear very fast in the end beacsue of indo-european, but this is time it was much quicker tho. And like evreytime, great video!❤💪👍💯
We only see some colours being wiped off the map, I can not possibly imagine the horrors these people went through. Let's make sure such atrocities don't happen again right in front of our eyes! #free_palestine ❤️🇵🇸 PS: as always thank you Costas Melas 🇮🇷❤️🇬🇷 for your valuable art :)
There are 4 non-fluent speakers that only know the basics, wichita can only rely on the documentation we have for a revival but otherwise it is efectively extinct
The group is associated with cultures distinguished by archaeology. For example, the Caddoan group is associated with Caddoan Mississippian culture and other earlier cultures.
yeah, it would be nice to see a video about Tupi-Guarani languages (i originally wrote about Quechuan languages but a video about them already exists lol)
This language family is almost dead. That's sad, maybe one day the population of speakers can rise a bit more so it's not heavily in danger to be on its death bed.
He already made the history of semitic langueges, but if you mean langueges that are related to it, he also made videos on nilo-saharan, chadic and other afra asiatic langeuges.
It's sad, but with technology, globalization, and the metaphorical shrinking of the world in the modern age, the extinction of small languages or minority languages within whatever larger population they are found seems to tend towards the inevitable. It takes a concerted effort and ideally governmental promotion to keep such languages alive, and even then, it rests so much in the hands of the few who dedicate themselves to it. We're sort of going through a bottleneck of abundance, as it were.
it's always sad to see the languages start to die out incredibly fast near the end. great video as always!
Thank you

Thank you for your comment ❤️
3:53 'murica jumpscare 🦅🇺🇸
Arikara: oh ffs i just got here
Another great video man, i also really like your mapping style.
Thank you :)
I almost added Caddo to the Piztiak project once, alas it didn't succeed, great video about a very unknown language
Thank you
Hats down to Costas Melas for surviving for more than 3000 years just to post this video
Up next: Iroquoian languages
Very nice. Dhegihan languages next?
And as usual, langueges dissapear very fast in the end beacsue of indo-european, but this is time it was much quicker tho. And like evreytime, great video!❤💪👍💯
Thank you
tupi-guarani pls
Please do one about the Chibchan languages
The disappearance of a language family is a great tragedy for humanity.
imperialism & colonialism
OTOMAN IMPERIALISM 😂😂@@adnan_honest_jihadist5775
It is a shame these very interesting languages almost disappeared. But your video is great! 😊

Hi, ¿would you like to do 2 or 3 or just 1 video about the history of Andorra and Aragon?
I think about the whole Iberian peninsula with the reconquista
The eerie scary music is a real nail biter!
Nice video
Thank you
Can you do the Middle East
Nah, Wichita is probably persevered somewhere.
Is it? 🥺
The last speaker died in 2016, but evidence of the language exists and a revival could be attempted

Great video as always, it's so sad how a lot of Native American language got extinct so fast, specially in lands colonized by English or French
How do they know where proto Caddoan language was spoken in 2.000 BCE regarding that there is no written record?
The group is associated with cultures distinguished by archaeology. For example, the Caddoan group is associated with Caddoan Mississippian culture and other earlier cultures.
Hell yeah more american languages
Will you do the same thing but one color per primary family so that we can compare?
South American indigenous languages, please!!!!!!
yeah, it would be nice to see a video about Tupi-Guarani languages (i originally wrote about Quechuan languages but a video about them already exists lol)
@@jeandelepiechatI think he did Quechuan already
@@JcDizonhe really did, im a dumbass. gotta watch it now

nice video
Thank you :)
@@CostasMelas you're welcome
Isso é sério 😮
what about to add estimated number of native speakers?
How do you make these videos?
I use mainly paintnet and blender
Come to think of it, much of Oklahoma and northeastern Texas could otherwise have been Caddoan-speaking.
Requesting for making history of Semitidic languages day 1
He already made the history of semitic langueges, but if you mean langueges that are related to it, he also made videos on nilo-saharan, chadic and other afra asiatic langeuges.
Brilliant ending
Why?

Pawnee has 10 speakers left, Arikara 10, and Caddo only 2. This sucks (not the video, it was great)
Caddo has around 20 and it is the only one with native speakers
It is a crime to kill such an ancient linguistic family. Colonialism really is the worst
