People forget that Romanian is a Latin language. I've seen some people claim they're Slavic because of their location but NOPE. They're distinct, similar to Hungarians
We, the Romanians , have nothing in comon with the Hungarians, the Hungarians are a fino-ugric people and the Romanians are Romans + Dacians. Romanian language is a latin language similar to Italian and French. In the past, Romania's current territory was called Thracia, and then Dacia. Dacia was conquered by the Romans, especially the south and west of the country, and the Dacians adopted the Latin language and the traditions of the Romans. These two peoples merged and gave birth to the "Romanian people". Romanians have as a substrate the Geto-Dacians , as a strate the Latins , and as an adstrate the Slavs.

@The Celtic Apologist because the Gauls were so long ago no. "The french... are primarily the descendants of Gauls and Romans (or Gallo-Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples), as well as Germanic peoples such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi and the Burgundians who settled Gaul from east of the Rhine" and I am from the south of France which means I am mostly gallo-roman like most french with little Germanic heritage unlike certain regions like Alsace, Normandie. The french are quite a diverse people , they are the melting pot of European ethnic groups but mostly are Celtic and Latin with small Germanic groups in certain regions
@The Celtic Apologist I would agree there is alot of celtic heratige but it's about the same as with Spain. Spain and France were both Celtic lands before the Romans conquered it. But that Celtic got diluted by Latin migration, Germanic rule over France and Spain (Franks and Visigoths) and hundreds of years of immigration from mostly Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany. To say that the Gauls still make up more than 50% of modern french DNA is false.
@Noah Pritchett Latin is culture, so if your ancestors were romanized celts you are latin. Even northern italians come partially from the gauls (northern Italy was called Gallia Cisalpina before becoming part of Italy, the sovereign of all the provinces).
@@Masaman Why would she care how do foreign speakers call their country. Germans, for example, are called by multiple various names, yet no one complains.
Me visiting college Spanish class my senior year: Professor raised in Argentina - "Is your teacher Argentinian?" Me - "No, she was born in Italy and moved to the US at 11. Spanish is her third language." Professor - "That explains your accent, then." Apparently, I speak Spanish with a Rio Platense accent (though my vocab is Castilian/Mexican). Books teach mostly Castilian, but I have had teachers from Argentina/Cuba, Italy/New York, Mexico, and Guatemala origin. I have only had one teacher (an Argentinian) who was Spanish first language speaker, but all but the Italian spoke Spanish from early childhood, either as missionary children or as part of a mixed household. It makes for some interesting word and accent combinations at times.
Interesting story. I was stationed in Spain from 2006 to 2008, but I didn't learn Spanish until after I left Spain. I was then later stationed in Sicily 2012 to 2017, where I learned Italian thanks to my knowledge of/and speaking Spanish. Now I live in Puerto Rico and here they tell me that I speak Spanish slightly with an Italian and American accent where when I was in Spain or when I go back to Spain they tell me I speak Spanish with a Cuban accent and when I speak Italian they tell me that I speak Italian with a Spanish accent.
Not if you consider yourself "Hispanic" from Latin America. People from Latin America have no Latin culture because in the 200 years after the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, left Latin America they invented their own culture which is different from the Roman Latin Culture.

Addy Joe Yes and they’ve been completely outpaced by European technology and cultural dominance. Hence they adopted their way of life and the modern developed world is shaped after Europe.
@Addy Joe simply said the Middle east during its best time (islamic golden age) was on the same level as Europe during its worst time (dark ages). The Roman Empire and Europe after the renaissance were way ahead.
@Addy Joe and before you hype up any Islamic Golden Age or some such, and mouth off about how Europeans were in the Dark Ages until Moors enlightened them - as people of your persuasion are inclined to do, it seems - remember that it was mostly with relevance to Greek and Roman documentation/knowledge and intellectual developments upon that very foundation that the non-Europeans simply succeeded in keeping a hold of and learning from, and then, once having invaded the Iberian Peninsula and established learning institutions (that taught in Arabic, mostly), the Catholic Europeans were reacquainted with the knowledge of their ancestors and again, Europe & Europeans blossomed. Literally the *only* thing that can be lorded over us is how we are largely responsible for modernity, which is corrosive - and that we've nurtured suckerism such we won't even stand up for the implicitly European, as all other peoples would do for themselves.

A herança genética romana de todos os países latino-europeus (Portugal, Espanha, França, Itália, Romênia e Moldávia) é bem menor do que eles pensam. Além disso, uma parte considerável da população europeia (incluindo na península ibérica) no período relativo às migrações Cro-Magnon possuía pele negra, o que torna os europeus atuais descendentes, em diferentes graus, de populações negras variadas. Nada consegue ser tão ignorante quanto um racista.
The union of the latin countries with germanic ones in the EU does not works very well. We basically do not agree on many things and how to construct the union, on which values and which economic model... It is time to spit the euro into two entities, and create a stronger union between France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Masaman its totally possible. France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Romania are already well integrated. Since 1954. existed "Latin Union", organization of culture but nothing so political. Map is nice, but I would like to present it much more realistically in way like this: Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Romania + all Latin American nations and maybe Quebec, while parts of USA, Belgium, Swiss, Moldova are left outside the Neo-Roman Empire. Such state, at least in Europe is possible, Roman identity and idea are most realistic. Romans were single nation, these neo romanic people are product of single nation, which Empire collapsed 1600 years ago, while Germanic or Slavic peoples never had an single identity or single state, from start they were divided into many tribes and peoples just sharing similar languages. Romance peoples had single language, single state, laws, army, religion and history, on full stage. So they can easy unify, because they share more common things. Such union should be something like portuguese integralism, in fact some Confederation made on basics of Roman Republic. Empire today is not the option, while Republic is ever lasting idea. Simply sign of S.P.Q.R Even as Christianity is loosing its influence, idea such is Roman State is still strong, even by word. Rome is SOLUTION.

It's interesting how Italians, among the Romance Peoples, have played a role similar to what Germans have played on the colonies. Both these 2 "mother" groups should have been cut off from the colonization process because of their geographic locations but instead both contributed in large measure on their respective ethnic spheres, in some areas with even more decision than those coming from the proper colonial powers.
Yes, I always thought Germany and Italy were each other's equivalent in their respective ethnolinguistic world. Geographically speaking, they were disadvantaged for the colonization race, as their sea access is rather limited. Germany has only a northern coast in the Northern and Baltic Seas, while Italy is fully entrapped in the Mediterranean Sea. Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, and the Netherlands had a head start in the colonization game because they were already a unified state with a central government, and they all had easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. Germany and Italy were a bunch of city-states, kingdoms, duchies left over from the Holy-Roman Empire, and as a result, they were a political and geographical mess. Once they became unified, Germany and Italy were able to only get the left over colonies of Africa, Italy claiming Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia (though really it was more of a failed colonization, especially with Ethiopia), while Germany had Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Namibia, Cameroon, and Togo. Ironically, these two met the same fate when they allied together for WWII and lost the war and all their former African colonies. But their paths have diverged since, as Germany has grown to become Europe's largest economy, while Italy, though still among the largest in Europe, seems to be struggling these days with lot of debt and corruption. But these two countries also embody the stereotypes of the Southern and Northern Europeans. Latins tend to be more passionate, expressive, temperamental, spontaneous, messy, artistic, flamboyant, sophisticated, aesthetical, traditional, religious, and family-oriented while Germanics tend to be more reserved, coolheaded, rational, organized, calculative, efficient, irreligious, career-oriented, functional, simplistic, and industrious. Also Latin countries tend to have strong wine culture, while Germanic countries have stronger beer culture.
I have tried to explain that Latin Italian are the original Latins. That Hispanic and Latin America would not exist at all without the Roman Empire. Like teaching math to cat's.
People from Latin America are "Latin Americans" by geography of origin and nothing else and although they speak Latin-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, they have no Latin culture and they don't know anything about the meaning of being Latin/Latino/Latina.

@@renatomacchi2195 Man, it's incredible to see how so much ignorance can fit in two comments. We Latin Americans have the same language family, the same religion, the same law system, the same names and surnames of the European Latin peoples. You're talking from the prejudice and the racism. We certainly have not the same ethnicity of the original Latins of central Italy, neither can be said about French, Romanian or even modern Italian people (you know, people have that tendency to move, migrate and mix), but the thing that makes us all Latinos is exactly what you're denying: our culture. The concept of "Latin America" was introduced by French people by the way, it's not that we "stole" that denomination.
@@cristianusma8784 I repeat: using the Term "Latinos" as you do when you're writing in English in totally wrong. It's grammatically incorrect. The right way when writing or speaking in English is "LATIN" singular and "LATINS" plural. Now about "Ethnicity". Being Latin it's no more about DNA as the first Latins in the region of Latium (Now Lazio, Italy). Being a Latin person refers to language spoken and culture. This is why Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards we're all LATINS because we are united by language and culture: we speak Latin-derived languages, our culture is Latin, our laws are based on Roman Laws and our religion is Roman Catholicism. This is what makes us LATINS. In Latin America you have most of that except the culture is not really Latin because in the 200 years since the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, left Latin America you have developed your own local culture which is not totally Latin. This is the difference. LATIN AMERICA: Yes that area of the Americas was named "Amerique Latine" (Latin America) by the French. The reason was that we had America here in what is now the USA and America was there where is now "Latin America". All was called "America", the entire continent. However, the Latin colonizers wanted to distinguish what America was their America. In what is now USA it was an English speaking, Anglo-Saxon in laws and protestant country and down there they spoke Latin-derived languages, they had Roman laws and they were Roman Catholics, not protestants. They wanted to distinguish themselves and this is why they called that area "LATIN" America. I have no objection to you using the term Latin America or Latin Americans. What I'm objection to is your indiscriminate use of LATIN/LATINO for yourselves and using it for almost anything that you do when it should be "Latin American". It's nothing racist. It's protecting my/our Latin heritage. Then even admitting that you are culturally Latins you can only use this definition of LATIN when in a conversation you have to state what is your culture and not the way you do. You use the term "Latin/Latino" to describe your food, your women, your men, your music, your dance and just about for everything. I see Mexican restaurants advertising "Latin Cuisine", "Latin Food". This is not right. It's Latin American cuisine, if any because Mexican food is not the same as the Puerto Rican food and the Colombian Food are not the same. One final observation. Why don't you use your race/races to describe yourselves like we all do? And these are the races: White, Black, Asian and Red-Skin Indian or a combination of it. We all do this. Even the Latin Europeans, unless they are describing their Latin culture or heritage, they seldom use the term Latin. They use their race: WHITE. You must do the same or you can just call yourselves Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc., etc., or just Latin Americans. I hope that this gives you a better idea of what we're dealing here. Basically I'm protecting my Latin heritage because you the "Hispanics" have skyjacked it for yourselves and that's not right. PS: It was a Mestizo man named Frank del Olmo who chose the term "Latino" instead of Latin American" to identify the "Ethnicity" of the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas and he fooled the U.S. Census Bureau into adopting this term "Latino" to identify "Hispanics" which is totally wrong. A person from Latin America is a Latin American.

While I appreciate your "What if the X world united" videos, I would like to see some individual videos about a single culture/cultural group, as those were scarce lately.

@Vitalis aside of from the sorbians I never of those others I'll check them out :p. Sorbians sound interesting though. I've read that they used to live in what is now eastern germany and those people living there today are descendants of germanised sorbs.
@@hazzmati It's not like Sorbs are extinct. Small ammount of people who identify as Sorbs do speak their native, Sorbian language. Most are bilingual, though, and the youngest generation tends to speak mostly German to each other, and Sorbian to their grandmas and such. We're talking about a group numbering 50-100 000 people. Sorbs are essentially the only reminder of the West Slavic speakers in modern Germany. In fact, the former borders of East Germany almost exactly covered the Slavic speaking area 1000 years ago. Ironically, the last Polabian dialect to die off in the 1700s (!) was Drevanian, spoken in eastern Lower Saxony. The Drevians were the first Slavic group to be conquered by the Germans and yet managed to preserve their language for centuries. Notably the only reason why Sorbian didn't die off quickly was because the region has a very poor soil, and was mostly a marshland throughout the history. By the 1900, Sorbian spoken in Brandenburg was already dying off, and the rise of the Nazism and the ban on the Sorbian language only sped up the process of assimilation. The true nail to the coffin was the post WW2 period, though. As many German speakers moved to the area from the lands now belonging to Poland, the industry related to mining was slowly closed off and many Sorbians moved to other German states, it doomed it completely. Nowadays, it mostly survives only because German state invest heavily into the cultural Sorbian organizations, but it's very likely Sorbian will be gone somewhere during this very century.
Great video. Interesting theory, I’ve never thought about. I’m also really glad you included Romania. So many people forget about it or think it’s Slavic, just because of its location. And another thing: this is a pet peeve of mine (sorry), but people is already plural, so you don’t need the ‘s’ at the end.

There is a lot of divide between North and South, not only it would strengthen unity between the states but would also be easier for the the others to unite with their Latin American brethren.
No, it will not work better, Latin America has many problems, many countries hate each other, they are not able to create a union between Latin American countries like the EU on their continents, much less will they be able to do it with European countries in between. A union limited only to European countries would be more likely.
Being Latin means your people were "romanized" at a given moment in their history. It's more about culture and assimilation than ethnicity. For me Creole and African countries with a strong Latin heritage should be added. Thank you for your work on this. A french latin
@Vindexproeliator your point is interesting. I just want to ask then who were the original Latins? The italics didn't populate Europe as Celtic or Germanic tribes did. They dominated it and except for some regions close to Italy, italics didn't spread in the entire empire, their culture and language did though. For Africa, I was thinking to cabe Verde, South Africa (with huguenots), Seychelles etc. Countries with very high Latin heritage xD. But I understand your view that is (As masaman) a very "English-speaking view" of demographic mainly based on ethnicity :)
Speaking a language with strong foundations on Latin doesn’t mean that your nation has any right to claim the Roman Heritage. There are so damned many imposters! The only nation that is a direct descendant of the Roman State is Greece, as it is the creation if the Greek-Romans who rebeled against the Ottomans and librarians themselves. Those were the descendants of the Roman State falsely called “Byzantium” by the West because they want to deny this truth. The truth is that the Romans were Greeks (still heavily influenced by local Italians) in the sence that Macedonians are Greeks, as a subgroup and that the Greeks became Romans, as at some point the Roman State unified the Greek World making every Greek a Roman as well

The privilege of not having some greatly superior power from outside try to wrestle your faith from your grasp. We had to endure this from the Muslim Ottomans, centuries upon centuries...A brief pause, then half a century of draconian atheism imposed by the Communists. Why we're the most religious? Because we've *fought* for our faith. Against hugely superior powers, across centuries.
Actually, I think this kind of scénario is nearer than you think: Inside or beside the EU, some countries have formed some groups as they noticed they had common views on a lot of subjects. For example, you have the Visegrad4, the nordic council, the Med7, the Craiova Group,... These groups enable them to give more weight to their décisions inside the EU. I think that in the near future, these groups will gain more importance and would take back a lot of competences they gave to the EU.
Rome was the most civilized and advanced culture for a long time so no wonder they felt so superior to the other European peoples. Let us not forget though that the Greeks are the ones that the Romans owe so much to and were the first true great civilization of Europe.
As a French i think a co-federal state between France, Italy, Spain and Portugal would absolutely make sense. Though we all have our particularities we basicaly have the same cultural basis : - Romance language - Same food basics (Wine, cheese, bread,...) - Same focus on culture (wonder why Italy and France compete between each other so often ?) - Same religious background Also it makes sense in terms of economy, since our economies in terms of structure and level is approximately the same, a convergence is possible ! i exclude Romania not to undermine them but because they belong to the eastern world now in many aspects though they remain Latin, moreover, they are too weak economically to be part of such a union.
As an Italian, I totally agree, it's the perfect political project. Becoming more powerful as a nation whlie mantaining our identity (cause it's already basically almost the same). (re)Switching gradually to Latin as a lingua franca would be the crowning
In the Historia Augusta, the spirit of the philosopher Apollonios of Tyana spoke to the Caesar Aurelianus "latine ut homo pannonius intellegeret" (in Latin, so that a Pannonian man would understand).

The fly in the "italic" ointment is that the romance states of Europe have been separated long enough to create very distinct identities. A Portuguese has nothing to do with a Romanian and try to tell a French that you intend to merge France and Italy in a single state and see how well it goes down.

I know that it's a small details ;) but on your maps Brittany is always all in grey (non Romance) and it's wrong, because more than the half of Brittany on its eastern part spoke the language Gallo, which was a Romance language. Only a small part on its western hedge spoke the Celtic Bretonic, a language that came from people fleeing the Germanic invasion in Great Britain in the early Middle Ages. Before that whole Brittany was Romance/latin speaking.

What Massam is saying about interracial marriage being encouraged is true. At least in Brazil, the painting shown ( 4:28) is alusive to that, they wanted to try and get the mestizos and black people to mix with Europeans (bear in mind European migrants were flooding some of these countries during the middle and late 18 hundreds) to such an extend they would dilute within the Europe population leaving no evident trace (of course they didn't know about genetics and in Brazil your racial identity is mostly based on the way you look more so than your ancestry). The painting shows a Black grandmother celebrating for her mixed daughter giving birth to a white looking baby.

Indeed, a lot of male french settlers in Canada had the habit of mixing with natives women in their young adult days, when they left their towns to trade (and live) among the natives as "coureurs des bois" (forest runners). There, they practised "mariage selon la coutume du pays" (wedding according to the custom of the land) - that is, wedding within natives clans. Thus appeared the "métis", north american counterpart of the "mestizo", a population of mixed natives/european (mainly of french - more rarely scottish - origins). The main point is that english, german and dutch settlers were the exceptions in the sense that they refused to mix with others (especially non-europeans)...
Nice historic fiction. Being Italian and subsequently Latin I would be proud of such a reincarnation. Panlatinism sounds interesting but I would not appreciate a non democratic version of it

People forget that Romanian is a Latin language. I've seen some people claim they're Slavic because of their location but NOPE. They're distinct, similar to Hungarians
We, the Romanians , have nothing in comon with the Hungarians, the Hungarians are a fino-ugric people and the Romanians are Romans + Dacians. Romanian language is a latin language similar to Italian and French. In the past, Romania's current territory was called Thracia, and then Dacia. Dacia was conquered by the Romans, especially the south and west of the country, and the Dacians adopted the Latin language and the traditions of the Romans. These two peoples merged and gave birth to the "Romanian people". Romanians have as a substrate the Geto-Dacians , as a strate the Latins , and as an adstrate the Slavs.

@The Celtic Apologist because the Gauls were so long ago no. "The french... are primarily the descendants of Gauls and Romans (or Gallo-Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples), as well as Germanic peoples such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi and the Burgundians who settled Gaul from east of the Rhine" and I am from the south of France which means I am mostly gallo-roman like most french with little Germanic heritage unlike certain regions like Alsace, Normandie. The french are quite a diverse people , they are the melting pot of European ethnic groups but mostly are Celtic and Latin with small Germanic groups in certain regions
@The Celtic Apologist I would agree there is alot of celtic heratige but it's about the same as with Spain. Spain and France were both Celtic lands before the Romans conquered it. But that Celtic got diluted by Latin migration, Germanic rule over France and Spain (Franks and Visigoths) and hundreds of years of immigration from mostly Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany. To say that the Gauls still make up more than 50% of modern french DNA is false.

Me visiting college Spanish class my senior year: Professor raised in Argentina - "Is your teacher Argentinian?" Me - "No, she was born in Italy and moved to the US at 11. Spanish is her third language." Professor - "That explains your accent, then." Apparently, I speak Spanish with a Rio Platense accent (though my vocab is Castilian/Mexican). Books teach mostly Castilian, but I have had teachers from Argentina/Cuba, Italy/New York, Mexico, and Guatemala origin. I have only had one teacher (an Argentinian) who was Spanish first language speaker, but all but the Italian spoke Spanish from early childhood, either as missionary children or as part of a mixed household. It makes for some interesting word and accent combinations at times.
Interesting story.
I was stationed in Spain from 2006 to 2008, but I didn't learn Spanish until after I left Spain. I was then later stationed in Sicily 2012 to 2017, where I learned Italian thanks to my knowledge of/and speaking Spanish. Now I live in Puerto Rico and here they tell me that I speak Spanish slightly with an Italian and American accent where when I was in Spain or when I go back to Spain they tell me I speak Spanish with a Cuban accent and when I speak Italian they tell me that I speak Italian with a Spanish accent.

It's theoretically impossible
Addy Joe Yes and they’ve been completely outpaced by European technology and cultural dominance. Hence they adopted their way of life and the modern developed world is shaped after Europe.
@Addy Joe simply said the Middle east during its best time (islamic golden age) was on the same level as Europe during its worst time (dark ages). The Roman Empire and Europe after the renaissance were way ahead.
@Addy Joe Europeans didnt cause the fall of Islamic Golden Age though
@Addy Joe and before you hype up any Islamic Golden Age or some such, and mouth off about how Europeans were in the Dark Ages until Moors enlightened them - as people of your persuasion are inclined to do, it seems - remember that it was mostly with relevance to Greek and Roman documentation/knowledge and intellectual developments upon that very foundation that the non-Europeans simply succeeded in keeping a hold of and learning from, and then, once having invaded the Iberian Peninsula and established learning institutions (that taught in Arabic, mostly), the Catholic Europeans were reacquainted with the knowledge of their ancestors and again, Europe & Europeans blossomed.
Literally the *only* thing that can be lorded over us is how we are largely responsible for modernity, which is corrosive - and that we've nurtured suckerism such we won't even stand up for the implicitly European, as all other peoples would do for themselves.

Masaman its totally possible. France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Romania are already well integrated. Since 1954. existed "Latin Union", organization of culture but nothing so political. Map is nice, but I would like to present it much more realistically in way like this: Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Romania + all Latin American nations and maybe Quebec, while parts of USA, Belgium, Swiss, Moldova are left outside the Neo-Roman Empire. Such state, at least in Europe is possible, Roman identity and idea are most realistic. Romans were single nation, these neo romanic people are product of single nation, which Empire collapsed 1600 years ago, while Germanic or Slavic peoples never had an single identity or single state, from start they were divided into many tribes and peoples just sharing similar languages. Romance peoples had single language, single state, laws, army, religion and history, on full stage. So they can easy unify, because they share more common things. Such union should be something like portuguese integralism, in fact some Confederation made on basics of Roman Republic. Empire today is not the option, while Republic is ever lasting idea. Simply sign of S.P.Q.R Even as Christianity is loosing its influence, idea such is Roman State is still strong, even by word. Rome is SOLUTION.

Amazing, considering that old iranians (wether Parthians or Sassanids) were constantly the most terrible enemies of the romans. 😉
It's interesting how Italians, among the Romance Peoples, have played a role similar to what Germans have played on the colonies.
Both these 2 "mother" groups should have been cut off from the colonization process because of their geographic locations but instead both contributed in large measure on their respective ethnic spheres, in some areas with even more decision than those coming from the proper colonial powers.
Yes, I always thought Germany and Italy were each other's equivalent in their respective ethnolinguistic world. Geographically speaking, they were disadvantaged for the colonization race, as their sea access is rather limited. Germany has only a northern coast in the Northern and Baltic Seas, while Italy is fully entrapped in the Mediterranean Sea. Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, and the Netherlands had a head start in the colonization game because they were already a unified state with a central government, and they all had easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. Germany and Italy were a bunch of city-states, kingdoms, duchies left over from the Holy-Roman Empire, and as a result, they were a political and geographical mess. Once they became unified, Germany and Italy were able to only get the left over colonies of Africa, Italy claiming Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia (though really it was more of a failed colonization, especially with Ethiopia), while Germany had Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Namibia, Cameroon, and Togo. Ironically, these two met the same fate when they allied together for WWII and lost the war and all their former African colonies. But their paths have diverged since, as Germany has grown to become Europe's largest economy, while Italy, though still among the largest in Europe, seems to be struggling these days with lot of debt and corruption. But these two countries also embody the stereotypes of the Southern and Northern Europeans. Latins tend to be more passionate, expressive, temperamental, spontaneous, messy, artistic, flamboyant, sophisticated, aesthetical, traditional, religious, and family-oriented while Germanics tend to be more reserved, coolheaded, rational, organized, calculative, efficient, irreligious, career-oriented, functional, simplistic, and industrious. Also Latin countries tend to have strong wine culture, while Germanic countries have stronger beer culture.
I have tried to explain that Latin Italian are the original Latins. That Hispanic and Latin America would not exist at all without the Roman Empire. Like teaching math to cat's.
People from Latin America are "Latin Americans" by geography of origin and nothing else and although they speak Latin-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish, they have no Latin culture and they don't know anything about the meaning of being Latin/Latino/Latina. They think that Latino is their Skin Color or their Ethnicity!!! They have to stop using this Latin/Latino term to exclusively identify themselves when they have no business at all using that term. It's "Latin Americans" and they have no Latin Culture.

The concept of "Latin America" was introduced by French people by the way, it's not that we "stole" that denomination.
@@cristianusma8784 I repeat: using the Term "Latinos" as you do when you're writing in English in totally wrong. It's grammatically incorrect. The right way when writing or speaking in English is "LATIN" singular and "LATINS" plural.
Now about "Ethnicity". Being Latin it's no more about DNA as the first Latins in the region of Latium (Now Lazio, Italy). Being a Latin person refers to language spoken and culture. This is why Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards we're all LATINS because we are united by language and culture: we speak Latin-derived languages, our culture is Latin, our laws are based on Roman Laws and our religion is Roman Catholicism. This is what makes us LATINS.
In Latin America you have most of that except the culture is not really Latin because in the 200 years since the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, left Latin America you have developed your own local culture which is not totally Latin. This is the difference.
LATIN AMERICA: Yes that area of the Americas was named "Amerique Latine" (Latin America) by the French. The reason was that we had America here in what is now the USA and America was there where is now "Latin America". All was called "America", the entire continent. However, the Latin colonizers wanted to distinguish what America was their America. In what is now USA it was an English speaking, Anglo-Saxon in laws and protestant country and down there they spoke Latin-derived languages, they had Roman laws and they were Roman Catholics, not protestants. They wanted to distinguish themselves and this is why they called that area "LATIN" America. I have no objection to you using the term Latin America or Latin Americans. What I'm objection to is your indiscriminate use of LATIN/LATINO for yourselves and using it for almost anything that you do when it should be "Latin American". It's nothing racist. It's protecting my/our Latin heritage. Then even admitting that you are culturally Latins you can only use this definition of LATIN when in a conversation you have to state what is your culture and not the way you do. You use the term "Latin/Latino" to describe your food, your women, your men, your music, your dance and just about for everything. I see Mexican restaurants advertising "Latin Cuisine", "Latin Food". This is not right. It's Latin American cuisine, if any because Mexican food is not the same as the Puerto Rican food and the Colombian Food are not the same. One final observation. Why don't you use your race/races to describe yourselves like we all do? And these are the races: White, Black, Asian and Red-Skin Indian or a combination of it. We all do this. Even the Latin Europeans, unless they are describing their Latin culture or heritage, they seldom use the term Latin. They use their race: WHITE. You must do the same or you can just call yourselves Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc., etc., or just Latin Americans. I hope that this gives you a better idea of what we're dealing here. Basically I'm protecting my Latin heritage because you the "Hispanics" have skyjacked it for yourselves and that's not right.
PS: It was a Mestizo man named Frank del Olmo who chose the term "Latino" instead of Latin American" to identify the "Ethnicity" of the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas and he fooled the U.S. Census Bureau into adopting this term "Latino" to identify "Hispanics" which is totally wrong. A person from Latin America is a Latin American.

@Vitalis aside of from the sorbians I never of those others I'll check them out :p. Sorbians sound interesting though. I've read that they used to live in what is now eastern germany and those people living there today are descendants of germanised sorbs.
@@hazzmati It's not like Sorbs are extinct. Small ammount of people who identify as Sorbs do speak their native, Sorbian language. Most are bilingual, though, and the youngest generation tends to speak mostly German to each other, and Sorbian to their grandmas and such. We're talking about a group numbering 50-100 000 people.
Sorbs are essentially the only reminder of the West Slavic speakers in modern Germany. In fact, the former borders of East Germany almost exactly covered the Slavic speaking area 1000 years ago. Ironically, the last Polabian dialect to die off in the 1700s (!) was Drevanian, spoken in eastern Lower Saxony. The Drevians were the first Slavic group to be conquered by the Germans and yet managed to preserve their language for centuries.
Notably the only reason why Sorbian didn't die off quickly was because the region has a very poor soil, and was mostly a marshland throughout the history. By the 1900, Sorbian spoken in Brandenburg was already dying off, and the rise of the Nazism and the ban on the Sorbian language only sped up the process of assimilation.
The true nail to the coffin was the post WW2 period, though. As many German speakers moved to the area from the lands now belonging to Poland, the industry related to mining was slowly closed off and many Sorbians moved to other German states, it doomed it completely. Nowadays, it mostly survives only because German state invest heavily into the cultural Sorbian organizations, but it's very likely Sorbian will be gone somewhere during this very century.

Great video. Interesting theory, I’ve never thought about. I’m also really glad you included Romania. So many people forget about it or think it’s Slavic, just because of its location.
And another thing: this is a pet peeve of mine (sorry), but people is already plural, so you don’t need the ‘s’ at the end.
NOVVM IMPERIVM ROMANVM
Hell Yes!!!
Bring forth the legions!!!
Mussolini’s wet dream
Hahaha
😅😅
The Fascist World got wet... 😁
Hehehehe
Nice Genoese flag you got there
perfect world rome would be the capital
I presume there would likely be a rotating capital as the other nations would not want Italy to have too much influence.
Kingdom of italy As a Spaniard I’d be ok with that
Sound fine to me.
Krikin K dude we’re in 2020 💀
The best solution would be to maintain the capitals of the countries, since they are located strategically: Lisbon at the West, Madrid right in the center of the Iberian Peninsula, Paris more or less in the center of France and Rome, in the center of the mediterranean
MY DREAM!!! I love you latin brothers! From France! Senatus Populus Que Romanus!
Ave from Brazil
ave frate
@The Celtic Apologist Just like Dacians & Iberians. But we are all latins now.
Aye I asked this shit in his subreddit. Thanks dude.
I am romanian...i respect and suport all latin contries...just because latinity...i ve learned easily all latin languages just by respect....but i love only serbian and greece peoples :)
How do you support them ?
This would only work for Europeans though. Imagine giving South Americans money and they outvoting us ( yeah a bad ideia).
Honestly I could see this happening and working better than than the EU
YES!
There is a lot of divide between North and South, not only it would strengthen unity between the states but would also be easier for the the others to unite with their Latin American brethren.
@@matheuspinheiro4796 Yes thats exactly I meant. ONE YEAR AGO haha. Its easier to unite culturally similar people xD
@@questmaster9 that's true. Economically speaking they are Also similar
No, it will not work better, Latin America has many problems, many countries hate each other, they are not able to create a union between Latin American countries like the EU on their continents, much less will they be able to do it with European countries in between.
A union limited only to European countries would be more likely.
Romania is like the second cousin once removed of the Roman family, but they still manage to fit in quite nicely! ^_^
Yeah, but it's more closelly related to latin then French , and the accent is the most stereotypicaly latin
@@sticlavoda5632 i agree, however i'm not sure about that accent part lol
A second cousin closelly to latin than portuguese and french
Modern French language is half Germanic and racially are mostly Germanic so Northern France must be part of the Germanic Empire as it makes sense
Half germanic,really?
Racialist pro germanicist crap, all of France is mainly celtic/roman,only then it is germanic,this like Iberia,and N.Italy.
80% french language has latin words.Italian and french lexicon similarity 89%.German language? Hhhaahahahahaa.Latin or Latino is NOT an ethnicity
Being Latin means your people were "romanized" at a given moment in their history. It's more about culture and assimilation than ethnicity. For me Creole and African countries with a strong Latin heritage should be added.
Thank you for your work on this.
A french latin
@Vindexproeliator your point is interesting. I just want to ask then who were the original Latins? The italics didn't populate Europe as Celtic or Germanic tribes did. They dominated it and except for some regions close to Italy, italics didn't spread in the entire empire, their culture and language did though.
For Africa, I was thinking to cabe Verde, South Africa (with huguenots), Seychelles etc. Countries with very high Latin heritage xD.
But I understand your view that is (As masaman) a very "English-speaking view" of demographic mainly based on ethnicity :)
Speaking a language with strong foundations on Latin doesn’t mean that your nation has any right to claim the Roman Heritage. There are so damned many imposters! The only nation that is a direct descendant of the Roman State is Greece, as it is the creation if the Greek-Romans who rebeled against the Ottomans and librarians themselves. Those were the descendants of the Roman State falsely called “Byzantium” by the West because they want to deny this truth. The truth is that the Romans were Greeks (still heavily influenced by local Italians) in the sence that Macedonians are Greeks, as a subgroup and that the Greeks became Romans, as at some point the Roman State unified the Greek World making every Greek a Roman as well
@@paulmayson3129 You are right Greek and Italic cultures were close and were both very important for each other golden ages.
But you are off-topic my friend. Here we discuss (due to the video) about cultural similitudes between Latin speaking countries. Roman empire is what links us together, we are not claiming to be their only heir. As Spanish/Portuguese/French empire link us to other nations all over the world
@@Twentycent911 Blacks can never be European no matter WTF Romance language they speak. Europeans created the Latin languages. Other races can never be Latin.
@@kalashnikov5544 10% of Brazilian are blacks
I'm Romanian. There's good reason why we keep our faith, but the rest of our Latin relatives ditch it. I know this word has become tired and a meme at this point, but it's the answer in its shortest form: privilege.
The privilege of not having some greatly superior power from outside try to wrestle your faith from your grasp. We had to endure this from the Muslim Ottomans, centuries upon centuries...A brief pause, then half a century of draconian atheism imposed by the Communists.
Why we're the most religious? Because we've *fought* for our faith. Against hugely superior powers, across centuries.
Bota Tobias Praise be to God, I’m Catholic but I highly regard the Orthodox Church. Xhristos Înviat!
Adevarat a Inviat brother, stay strong in your faith, times are bad for the likes of us.
Bota Tobias The orthodox ditched the Roman Catholic Church lol what are you on about.
We're all Christians here. No need for hostility.
Bota Tobias yeah my bad we shouldn’t be going like this at each other since we are both kind of the same the true churches founded after Christ.
Little mistake in your map of South America, you forgot French Guyana.
Actually, I think this kind of scénario is nearer than you think: Inside or beside the EU, some countries have formed some groups as they noticed they had common views on a lot of subjects. For example, you have the Visegrad4, the nordic council, the Med7, the Craiova Group,... These groups enable them to give more weight to their décisions inside the EU. I think that in the near future, these groups will gain more importance and would take back a lot of competences they gave to the EU.
What you're saying makes sense but God knows the Latins are too hot heades. They can't get along for long enough to do such a thing.
Rome was the most civilized and advanced culture for a long time so no wonder they felt so superior to the other European peoples. Let us not forget though that the Greeks are the ones that the Romans owe so much to and were the first true great civilization of Europe.
I WAS ACTUALLY EARLY for once and then you reuploaded!

Ancient rome build by the barbars ( pagan europeans ) so rome actualy pagan state with european tribes..
@@midnightblue3285 ???
As a French i think a co-federal state between France, Italy, Spain and Portugal would absolutely make sense. Though we all have our particularities we basicaly have the same cultural basis :
- Romance language
- Same food basics (Wine, cheese, bread,...)
- Same focus on culture (wonder why Italy and France compete between each other so often ?)
- Same religious background
Also it makes sense in terms of economy, since our economies in terms of structure and level is approximately the same, a convergence is possible !
i exclude Romania not to undermine them but because they belong to the eastern world now in many aspects though they remain Latin, moreover, they are too weak economically to be part of such a union.
As an Italian, I totally agree, it's the perfect political project. Becoming more powerful as a nation whlie mantaining our identity (cause it's already basically almost the same). (re)Switching gradually to Latin as a lingua franca would be the crowning
Do Gallic people have something in common with the Spanish/Portuguese?
@@icywyvern5493 We are culturaly very similar yes !
French is celtic and Germanic blood. Only culture is latin. Your real ancestors is gaul
@@user-sy6gq9yk1d Latin is not a racial group dummy. Spanish are Celto-Iberic and Italians are Italic (an indo-european group close to the celts).
I'd like to know about the Keszthely culture or Roman Pannonians that existed before Hungary arrived.
In the Historia Augusta, the spirit of the philosopher Apollonios of Tyana spoke to the Caesar Aurelianus "latine ut homo pannonius intellegeret" (in Latin, so that a Pannonian man would understand).
Man I love these what if scenarios, do more of them
They are the most fun to make by far
Hey@@Masaman I haven't seen you (or really anyone) on Demographia lately. it's getting lonely :(
What if Celtic nations of Europe reunited?? Maybe throw Galicia with those nations!
Veni Vidi Vici.
ERROR*** French is most spoken than Portuguese because of many countries in Africa, Asia and Oceania speak there
Let's merge Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Romania and Antonio Banderas.
3:38 *lol I see what you did there.*
Slavs are cool but they aren't real Macedonians (who were a Hellenistic people)
That's just me addressing the name change. People kept asking me to talk about it and that's all I have to say on the matter.
@Masaman You can't please them forget about it.
Helinic. Helenistic was the time period. They were Helenic which is the same group of people of Classical Greece.
@@BurnRoddy They weren't Greeks lol
Nope, Macedonians weren't Greeks.
Roman Empire: Im the biggest empire!!!
Neo-Roman Empire: H-
*Cesar wants to know your location*
Edit: Now that Im Reading the comments I noticed that anyone is using a Roman language… funny
Viva el Neo Imperio Romano!
A "what if the Slavic World united" video is worth a shot.
So basically, Greater Romania?
Ask a spanish about this.
More like greater Italy if anything
The true borders of romania. I, for one, would support argentine annexation into *România Mare.*
Albanian and Romanian are both close to Latin as well.
Bushido Code Albanian has nothing to do with latin lmao.
Put a Google Translate to your videos? they are very good! Greetings from Spain
It's crazy how overlooked is ROMANIA ! 🙄
The fly in the "italic" ointment is that the romance states of Europe have been separated long enough to create very distinct identities. A Portuguese has nothing to do with a Romanian and try to tell a French that you intend to merge France and Italy in a single state and see how well it goes down.
Is only about language....ofc we all Have different culture
So was italy but it united
There's alot of truth to what you're saying...... that's why we need another Napoleon
"Maced... I mean, *Northern* Macedonia."
Hahaha gold!
Viva el Imperio Romano
Latins or Latinos are just in Europe.Latino is NOT a race.Latin or Latino Countries have a cultural,historical,linguistical links with ancient Roman Empire history and just in Europe
One can only dream...
I'm German/Spanish and proud of my Gothic ancestry that originated back in ancient Sweden.
This is a theory only.
Hmm ? Masaman you got me thinking after watching this video ? Did the Roman Empire really fall ? Maybe the Roman Empire is still here and bigger than ever before ? Fun and informative video !
Pax Romana
Ave, True to Caesar
This is very true keep it up man.
Well, all roads do lead to Rome
Neo-Roman Imperium, sounds good to me.
It would be really cool. I would like it to be a federal republic . Long live the roman legacy ❤️.
Latin peoples in Europe are: portugueses, galicians, asturians, spaniards (castilians, andalusians and aragoneses), catalans, occitans, arpitans, french/valloonians, italians, sardinians, sicilians, cosicans, romanshs & romanians.
Sorry if I forgot some of them.
@@croatianwarmaster7872 Moldavians are Romanians
0:08 It's interesting seeing you think that (and you probably mean it more about the Italians or French I guess, while I'm Portuguese) but do we really think we're more sophisticated, though?
I know that it's a small details ;) but on your maps Brittany is always all in grey (non Romance) and it's wrong, because more than the half of Brittany on its eastern part spoke the language Gallo, which was a Romance language. Only a small part on its western hedge spoke the Celtic Bretonic, a language that came from people fleeing the Germanic invasion in Great Britain in the early Middle Ages. Before that whole Brittany was Romance/latin speaking.
Therapist what is your dirtiest dream
Me:

Great video :)
Is New Caledonia and the Azores in this ?
guty huy why wouldn’t they be? i mean, the azores is literally part of the portuguese territory. it is as portugal as lisbon or porto and 100% of their population speaks portuguese. i don’t know much about new caledonia, but if east timor is counted i assume new caledonia is counted too

What Massam is saying about interracial marriage being encouraged is true.
At least in Brazil, the painting shown ( 4:28) is alusive to that, they wanted to try and get the mestizos and black people to mix with Europeans (bear in mind European migrants were flooding some of these countries during the middle and late 18 hundreds) to such an extend they would dilute within the Europe population leaving no evident trace (of course they didn't know about genetics and in Brazil your racial identity is mostly based on the way you look more so than your ancestry).
The painting shows a Black grandmother celebrating for her mixed daughter giving birth to a white looking baby.
não existem pretos no Brasil, todos os 'negros' aqui são vira-latas com síndrome de nigga americano
@@david_contente Talvez não existam tantos com o grau de ascendência africana que há nos Estados Unidos. Mas se se usar a classificação generalizada do Brasil que é mais baseada no aspeto que ascendência, há sim, dentro do que se considera um negro no Brasil.
@@desanipt com base na auto-declaração é claro que existem, mas com base genética estão distantes de serem negros de fato.
Indeed, a lot of male french settlers in Canada had the habit of mixing with natives women in their young adult days, when they left their towns to trade (and live) among the natives as "coureurs des bois" (forest runners).
There, they practised "mariage selon la coutume du pays" (wedding according to the custom of the land) - that is, wedding within natives clans.
Thus appeared the "métis", north american counterpart of the "mestizo", a population of mixed natives/european (mainly of french - more rarely scottish - origins).
The main point is that english, german and dutch settlers were the exceptions in the sense that they refused to mix with others (especially non-europeans)...
The sight of the S.P.Q.R. Symbol over fucking Romania is hilarious
A small village of Gauls is resisting. Romani ite Domum.
Nice historic fiction. Being Italian and subsequently Latin I would be proud of such a reincarnation. Panlatinism sounds interesting but I would not appreciate a non democratic version of it
I love these pan-ethnic group hypothetical countries. I used to work with a bloke who supported a pan-Celtic federal Republic of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Mann, Cornwall and Brittany.
My friend i believe you have gone astray with these what if scenarios, I believe the channel would be more interesting if you speak about ethnic groups especially little known ones. That's why i signed initially and I hope the content remains such.
