Since you're greek, I'm gonna assume this is your favorite video

Another awesome and great video by CostasMelas! I love all of the small details, like the Slavs in Anatolia or the Etruscans developing from the Mediterranean substrate just before being pushed out of Anatolia, which is related to the theory that the Etruscans are migrants from Lydia.

I love all these language maps, keep them up!

"Dryopian"... So there was another Indo-European language spoken in Greece before the Dorian invasion, presumably belonging to the Graeco-Phrygian group? I didn't know about that.

I wish your next video you make would be the languages of Italian peninsula throughout the history

Here in Keratea some people speak Arvanitika not as their first language but just some basic words just to communicate.

Anatolia was very diverse than I expected before the Greek and Roman domination

Sad how Greek language ended in Anatolia in 1923 after thousands of years 😢

good job. Thank you very much

Слава Византии ☦️

Great job (as always) 🇮🇷❤️🇬🇷 please do languages of Central Asia next :)

Great great! As always, everything is accurate!

You do a great work with this fantastic video❤ Congratulations

Amazing video, you can tell there is a lot of work put in it, you are certenally one of the best language mapping youtubers ever, and i hope your books will sell like hot bread(a lot)!❤❤❤😃😃👍👍👍👍👍 I am amazed to see that some of the lungueges in this video i didnt even know existed! Like dryopian and eteocretan for example. Also, just a thing that I want to say(that isn't really related to the video)is that i like to think that medieval greek is kind of hybrid of latin and greek but more greek than latin so a totally a greek langueage(its not a correction to the video or something, its just an unrelated opinion).👍👍❤

This videos there are literality the best ideas.

this is such wonderful great work. cant you please make a video like this of levant? i would even pay for that

Can you show next time which old-european lived on Greece and which languages they spoke before indo-european arrived in Greece.

Greece is my favorite country in the entire world, one day Constantinople and entire Anatolia are gonna be Christians and Greek again ☦🇬🇷 All my love and support from the Amazonian region of Colombia ❤‍🔥

Very good very detailed. your knowledge of languages is great

This video about the history of greece has made very well

Finally you are back!

Southern Italy and Sicily are missing where Greek was spoken until the Middle Ages and is still spoken in some municipalities in southern Puglia and Calabria

Thanks for video

AWESOME VIDEO, I like it

Very nice! Though I think Ladino could have appeared as a language spoken in Thessaloniki (Sephardic Jews used to be the majority of the city pre-WW2). Nevertheless, good video!

Excellent music choice

Do you consider Tsakonian/Doric Greek to be a different language within the Hellenic branch or a divergent dialect of Greek?

is Achaea where the Dryopians later fled to? then ultimately adopted Greek as well?

Something I think you could have put in the video is the large Jewish population of Thessaloniki, which was 50% Jewish at one point.

Nice video. The level of details is truly amazing. I'm curious about the aromanian part though, did they arrive in the Pindos mountains together with the slavic peoples, and what byzantine sources are there that mention them?

Love your videos. Is there any way you can make them 4K in the future?

Please do a detailed animation of Germany going back to Proto-Germanic. Would like to see how the various Germanic tribes evolved their languages in specific places.

What would be the source for the Aromanian language first appearing in around 650, and in Albania, later migrating to the Pindus? Worth nothing Megleno-Romanian is missing from the video

Nice Video

Impressive

I requested a language map of Egypt and Iraq, because I was curious about how ancient Egyptian was replaced by Coptic then Arabic, as well as Akkadian was replaced by Aramaic then Arabic.

Hey, how accurate are these, 3000 bc was a long time ago.

I searched Dryopian on Internet, but English text is limited. Do you have any references for Dryopian?

Make one for religion please

You are great historian

There are no records in this area of Albanian before the 11th century. So making the whole area Albanian is speculation at best, bad historicity at worst, considering that the area was called Illyria Graeca.

Is very accurated and documented

Starting from the Seljuk period, Turkish became the dominant language in Asia Minor. Starting from the 11th century, Asia Minor began to be called Turchia. In the 13th century, Europeans named the countries extending from Altai to the Danube, including Turkestan, as "Magna Turchia" (Greater Türkiye). Western Traveler Marco Polo referred to Asia Minor as Türkiye. When Arab traveler Ibn Battuta saw that the Turkish population was dense during his trip to Asia Minor in 1331, he named Asia Minor the Land of Türkiye. Those who used to speak Greek now began to speak Turkish. The language spoken in trade centers and marketplaces was Turkish.

I'm always uncomfortable to make criticism about an author and a work I like very much. But I really think there's a problem in our contemporan view of old history. Old historians always correlated languages with peoples. In that point of view, I think "old Mediterranean substrate" should be called "pelasgian". Secondly, I barely know whay are ionian, doric, aeolic, but "western greek"? "north-western greek"? No idea at all. It absolutely didn't indicate me how that language was named and neither which ethnic group used it. (and that's not an ironical or rhetorical phrase : I really don't know, but I would, because koine came from that group). The last critic is more subjective : I prefer when the music is more mysterious, like in the orgasmic, awesome "east asia" or "Africa"'s videos. (I hope the worship I give to those late videos would make my critics sounding more friendly 😊)

What website do you use to create this?

çok güzel video

Great video. Perhaps you could do languages of central asia?

I love Ελλάδα

Make Languages of Middle East (Iranian plateau and Arabian Peninsula)

Hi, what is the pink around Messenia in 1400 B.C?

Θα ήθελα να κάνεις Ιταλία μεγάλη Ελλάδα πως χάθηκε η ελληνική γλώσσα εκεί? Ιταλία, Αίγυπτο

Turkish nationalists got crazy :D Turks have a rich and fascinating history already, but they prefer deny or try to delete the existences of others’ ones (Greeks and other Balkan peoples have same complex, not gonna lie, I can’t blame Turks for everything). A neutral and scientific education about history is very important for every nation.

Why did the Balkans not become visibly more Greek after Manzikert? One would assume the Turkic take over of Inner Anatolia would set off a large migration wave. Did it not happen?

I don't understand the color combination sometimes, hard to make them out

Γεια σου φίλε

Are they published as paper books?

I've always appreciated your work, but I have to correct you this time: you forgot the Salentinian language, which is a Romance idiom spoken in the westernmost part of Apulia ("Salento"), belonging to the branch of the Extreme Southern Italian group. It is not a dialect of the Italian language (even if in Italian it's called "dialetto salentino"), it is its own language, direct discendent of the local Vulgar Latin, under the influence of the Italiot Greek. Indeed, it has been the mothertongue of most of the population of Salento from the 11th century until the second half of the 20th century, when the use of the Italian language became widespread. Nowadays, it is still widely spoken for informal communication. Thus, your map should have shown both of the languages - Italian and Salentinian - since the former was the language of the cultural elite and the latter that of the people.

Mediterranian substrate could be Pelasgian?

There is no such a thing like slavic macedonian, People there were spoking bulgarian until recently, when the "macedonians" started a policy of distancing their "language" from bulgarian

Cant you do spread of mesopotamian religion?

Πολύ ωραία προσπάθεια. Τα τσιγγάνικα που είναι;;;

someone should do a video on dated ``deaths`` of languages. Just like Eteocretan ``died`` in the 3rd century BC and Sumerian around the time of Jesus

Do the spread of taoism, Confucianism or Sikhism.

The biggest surprise for Greek was the loss of Anatolia…

2:16 Language of Troy??

However, Greek did not spread throughout Europe like Latin, and even nearby Albania could not assimilate it. Anatolia was a Turkic language, and North Macedonia became a Slavic language…

were the Philistines Pelasgians?

Minoan wasn't it's own thing?

Bulgarian, that you mean as South Slavic was more and more wide spoken in most of time.

Greeks assimilated all of the surroundings as a Pac-Man in ancient times but why they couldn’t assimilate illyrians?

Dryopian? Hmmm never heard of this...

The Bulgarians (South Slavs) were underrepresented in the region of macedonia and thrace, in 1800s many Bulgarian schools were open even in Thessaloniki. After the balkan wars greeks came from anatolia and inhabited macedonian and Bulgarians left

Truly, it is depressing how far the civilized nature of the Greek world has fallen. (im greek definitely not biased)

Thracians, Phrygians and Anatolians in the year 2293 BC: Greeks? That small set of tribes in the Southwest? Same peoples in 40 AD: We spoke too soon!

Istanbul didn't have greece majorityin the 16th century the population boomed after the ottoman conquest from about 50,000 (35,000-70,000) mostly greek with small muslim minorities to 660,000 in the year 1566, with giving refuge to more than 40,000 jews mostly from Spain and 80,000 Armenians in 2 big migrations, and of course too many turks.

More correct name for the republic of North Macedonia would be Paeonia

Sorry but this video is very confusing and hard to look at. Hard to differentiate some colors as well. Overall could be better.

World first cultures Lepenski vir, Starcevo, Vinca culture today Serbia. World first industrial revolution ca. 6000 BC. Bronze metallurgy. (BBC History news March 2010) Gordon Childe-The Danube in Prehistory, Jacque Pirenne-Agriculture at Danube Farming start about 6000 BC. Vinca First Calendar start to count years at 5508 BC. Farming wouldn’t be possible without knowledge of calendar. Both development started and developed together. Harald Harman about first cyrillic writings in Vinca culture in 5500 BC so 2000 years before any writings anywhere else on the world. Vinca Iron production 1400 BC. In today English language there is more than 2000 same or similar Serbian words. Names of the Balkan tribes: Pelasgians, Mycenaeans, Etruscan, Wendi, Illiyrians, Dardanians (Troy is here ,not in Turkey Homer wrote sea is freezing in the winter-Panonian sea), Moesians, Dacians, Tracians, Rasci, Celts, Scythians, Sarmatians, Arians, Sea People, Peleset, Philistines, Hittites, Bhrygians, Etruscan. Tribes spread in all directions all over Europe and Asia ……. Wild Greeks arived ~ 1000 BC from Egipt, Hungarian from Asia and Bulgariens from Asia they found culture on the Balkans, writings and language and they mixed with domestic people. 18 Roman emperors were born in Serbia because of Etruscan connection.

Make Greece Anatolian again!

Brave of you for not adding pelasgians. A horde of angry Greeks, Albanians, Bulgarians "Macedonians" and Serbs will now try and harass you

pobres como cambiaron de idiomas

Slavic macedonian = Bulgars who llived in Yugoslave

We Greeks are actually descended more from Anatolian and Indo-Eurooean Speakers rather than Mediterranean Substrate speakers and Paleo-Balkan speakers,as our first ancestors. We Greeks came from Anatolia to the Greek Islands and Peninnsulas, rather than the other way around. But us modern Greeks have more Middle Eastern and some Albanian-Balkan Slavic in us now adays than in ancient times. Greeks that are not linguistic minorities do.

its so sad that the non indo europeans were genocided

But wait! “AnAToliA wAs grEEk“. Thank you for the video. Anatolia was Anatolian!

Costas Melas i can foresee your BS, you are in love with Hammond and Georgiev.

A nice video showing that the greeks aren't the natives of Anatolia and Istanbul.

Glad to see that illyrian language/languages survived to this day in the Albanian language 🇦🇱

Illyrian = Greek 🇬🇷 Macedonian = Greek 🇬🇷

Slavic was spoken in the majority of territories of the Greek mainland between 580 and the early 11th century. During the said times, Greek was spoken only in isolated, well-fortified cities, like Adrianople, Monemvasia, and Thessaloniki, which is/was attested by East Roman primary sources, seals of independent Slavic archons and those that were vassals of the Bulgarian Empire and the ERE, and the fact that thousands of Slavic toponyms in Northern Greece alone were "Hellenized" in the aftermath of Greece's annexation of Northern Greece, and an equal number of toponyms were "re-Hellenized" in the rest of mainland Greece in the aftermath of the restoration of Greek statehood. You gain nothing by omitting the aforementioned.
