Ingian sounds like finnish and vepsä sounds a bit more estonian than finnish but with an russian accent but meänkieli definetely sounds extremely finnish. I have met native speaking more alien finnish than this.
As a Finnish person I can tell you that the Veps language is more similar to Finnish than Estoian but your right about the Russian influence. Yeah Meänkieli literally means our language in Finnish.
@@killavision4068 It’s almost Finnish. It’s Finnish but it evolved in a different way than the real Finnish. If “Pyyhe” is a towel in Finnish, “Hantukki” is a towel in Meänkieli, closer to Swedish. Because Finland was once upon a time a part of Sweden, and another time it was a part of Russia. That’s why in Finland on signs it says, for ex. a church both in Finnish and Swedish. Especially in the capital city, Helsinki. And the Helsinki cathedral is Russia-like with the towers and so on. And when Finnish evolved and got new words for modern things, Meänkieli kept its old words and added new Swedish words for modern things but with Finnish endings in the words. For ex. “Hantukki” again.
@@Soldier_FIN Yeah, I mean that it’s a mix between Finnish and Swedish. Of course it’s Finnish, but it developed differently than the actual Finland when it became a single country. Some words is closer to Swedish, and other words is old Finnish.
Tässä parempi esimerkki meänkielestä. Olen meänkielen kasvatti eikä tuon miehen pelleilystä saa mitään selvää. Tässä normaalimpi esimerkki: ruclips.net/video/iQGhFCXfN04/видео.html&ab_channel=LingoNor
Olen itse suomalainen ja sain jotain selvää noista sanoista mitä hän käytti, mut hän puhui aika epäselvästi silti, niin en ymmärtänyt kaikkea mitä hän sanoi. Ymmärtääkö meänkieleläiset mitä hän sanoi, kun näytti siltä, että hän puhui meänkielen murteella nopeasti?
Mielestäni Tornionjokivarressa puhuttu murre eroaa toisistaan. Varsinkin Ruotsin puolella murteeseen sekoitetaan paljon enemmän ruotsinkieltä, niin kuin tämä Pajalan esimerkiksi näytti. Mutta mielestäni se on Ruotsissa oma kielensä, kun taas Suomessa se on murre. Ei sole poka mikhään ko praatata menemään.
Meänkieli is the language but do the people who live there have a word for themselves as a group? For example "Tornionsuomaliset" or "Ruotsinsuomalaiset"?
Meänkieli is a dialect of Finnish, not a language. The term ”Tornionlaaksolaiset” is a regional term for people that are linguistically, ethnically and culturally Finnish, but reside in Sweden’s Tornio Valley. The boundary between Finland and Sweden, set in 1809, is completely arbitrary and drawn without regard to the people living in the region.
@@HannesPakarinen it is a language. Dialects do not have their own grammar, which Meänkieli does. It does, however, originate from Finnish, but is, today, seen as its own language.
There are literally thousands of different languages all over the world, both spoken and extinct. Even in the UK there are 6 Celtic languages, and 1 in France called Britany. It's such a shame so many languages are now dead. I think when a language become endangered it should be taught to children in local schools and colleges as a compulsory part of their education. It's not like when a plant or animal goes extinct, where you could possible clone them from DNA found in the dead carcases when they dig them up from ice, once a language is gone, it's gone. Languages like Badeshi and Aztec are now extinct, that is if the last 3 native speakers of Badeshi are gone, which they probably are by now!!!! We need to do more to stop the decline of native languages being replaced by more dominant languages such as English, Arabic, French and Spanish!

How it is closer swedish? There is words that sounds swedish. Mäenkieli sounds little bit like old Helsinki slang. @@martinlarsson217
There is also some similarity to south-ostrobothnian dialect.

I agree with that man. It’s very funny that the fire department guys play rounders when they’re training.

Well I can tell you that if this language in this video becomes extinct it doesn’t matter because it’s literally Finnish! 😂
