ASMR The 8 Biggest Language Families in the World (soft spoken, map tracing, educational ASMR)

Рет қаралды 82,959

Күн бұрын

Hey everyone! Let's have a look at some linguistic facts today: what are the 8 biggest language families in the world? This list is based on number of speakers (not number of related languages in a family) and includes Indoeuropean, Turkic, Sino-Tibetan, Japanese, Austronesian, Dravidian, Afro-Asian and Niger-Congo. Let me know how you like this kind of educational ASMR, and if there's anything specific you'd like me to cover, tell me about it in the comments!
As always, triggers include soft spoken voice with an Austrian accent, dynamic camera and pointing and tracing. Sleep well!

As a fellow linguist (and passionate cartographer), I have really enjoyed the thematic content of your videos. Organised, good flow, well-researched and professionally done. Most AMSR videos I have come across tend to consist of unscripted ramblings and poor editing, which makes the quality of yours stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, despite English not being your first language, you speak more clearly, accurately and eruditely than the majority of ASMR clips by native speakers. Thank you for your efforts, I hope this has been as much of a pleasure for you to make as it has for me to watch :)

Hey Zoltan, thanks so much, I'm very happy that you enjoy my style of ASMR! That's really lovely feedback. And yeah, it's true, there's a lot of variety in content and production, but I always try to see it as a good sign. It means there's an active community with few barrieres for anyone wishing to participate, people will encourage each other to become better at what they're doing, and it means there's a greater chance someone will make exactly what I'm looking for (even if searching might take a while haha). And yes, it's a pleasure to make and share these videos with the extremely kind and generous feedback I'm getting! 💖

@@MelangeASMR I really love your videos! I also want to thank you for flipping the negative implications of the original comment into positive ones. I hate seeing people disparage other people creating ASMR videos simply because someone else’s style doesn’t suit them. There is something for everyone, no need to say one is better than another or put others down for their style in order to compliment someone else. You all meet someone’s needs!

For those who do not know: The reason we don’t say Hamito languages is because it is a Biblical-based term, as is Semitic (and in an effort to not center the Bible in non-religious things and be more inclusive of the entire world, academics use BCE/CE instead of BC/AD, and other terms that aren’t rooted in Biblical theology), but also it is rooted in the Curse of Ham-the Christian theology used as justification for treating Africans as lesser humans who could and should be enslaved. In short, an excuse for racism. So it’s not a term used anymore. :) Afroasiatic is the proper term.

看了你的视频我还学到了一个有关地图的知识，这个地图看上去和我之前看到的地图看上去有点不一样，看上去欧洲好像很小，中国印度变的很大，在我的印象中我一直认为英国和日本的面积一样大，在这份地图上日本的面积比英国大很多，我去查询了才知道，地图的绘制方法有很多，用投射绘制地图由于地球是球体而非圆柱体，变成平面高纬度地区会被拉伸，所以地图上高纬度地区看起来会很大，而您手里的这份地图是按照实际面积大小绘制的。

Yes, that's a very good observation and I think something really important to be aware of. On a lot of maps, Greenland looks bigger than all of Africa and that's really not the case in reality.

@MelangeASMR Жыл бұрын

Hah yeah, it's a bit of a specific map. The language families are listed by number of speakers, not by number of included languages, so that's why they didn't include all parts of the world.
