Title felt a bit misleading but otherwise it was a surprisingly good video from a seemingly obscure channel. I'm not that much of a linguistics nerd but I enjoy bite sized content like this. Subbed, keep up the good word.
I really liked this video. I think about this topic a lot because growing up my parents never bothered to teach me my mother tounge.and when I think about that it somewhat worries me because it feels like I've lost a part of the history of the people that preceded me and if I end up having my own children they too will end up not having that connection to their ancestors and that saddens me
Exactly. My ancestors are from India and spoke a small regional language called Tulu, however my parents did not teach it to me. I’m trying to learn it now using online sources, however because it is a small language, it is very difficult.
love the video! i would love it if you could put source citations and references in the description of your video. thank you for the effort you put into this!
I'm all for the general concept of preserving languages, but there's this 'fine line' that you mentioned that I'd like to expand upon - after all, what does this "language preservation effort" actually consist of? Is it forcing schoolchildren to learn a language that's spoken by a few thousand people? To me this always seemed super-condescending, like "we know better and will tell everyone what to do", after all, if I were a kid and had the choice of learning a language spoken by my grandmother and 100 other dudes or, for example, improving my english skills, learning japanese or just playing call of duty/browsing tiktok, I would find it oppressive to be forced into spending hundreds of hours doing something I don't want- should people also be made to wear special costumes and perform cultural dances just so westerners can feel a sense of accomplishment? After all, if they WANT to do it there shouldn't be an issue and they can do it themselves.
i agree but have a broken keyboard ppl hold on cullture llike it would fix otherr issues innovations can't clearly ppl shoulld fix major issues beforre they force something that should be liesurre

This is a really really good video. It's tragic to think about the loss of so much of human culture...
Best language channel out there! Thanks for your work!
I'm glad I found this channel... Especially being the language geek that I am.
