Here are some sentences in the heavenly languages Norse and Icelandic... Ek heiti Freyja ok ek em at læra Norrænu því ek elski (elska) hana! (Norse) Hann ǫrninn vissi ekki hvaðan kemr Sólin... (Norse) Ek veit alt er þú veizt ekki! (Norse) Ég hef talað Ensku síðan þegar ég vas (var) tveggja eða triggja ára! En ég get líka talað Hollensku og Norsku og Spænsku og FornNorrænu! Ég get talað Íslensku reiprennandi og ég em (er) ekki með neina hreim! Ef ég gæti lært annað mál, hvað væri það? Það væri auðvitað Danska! Ég em (er) að hugsa að það er mikilvægt að læra að minnsta kosti eitt erlent tungumál, eða flest fallegu tungumálin! Svo ég valdi Íslensku og ég héld áfram að læra hana... Ég læri það í samhengi... Hvíslaðu að svaninum! En ertu frá hinum hlutanum? Ísland er ekki eitt sjálfstætt land ennþá! Þegar ég segi Ísland, hvað er það fyrsta sem dettur þér í (hug) hugi? Als ik Ijsland zeg, wat is het eerste wat naar boven komt bij jou? (These are some sentences in Icelandic / Norse / Dutch that I tend to revise a lot and analyze in detail - the words in these heavenly languages are just so pretty, they are áddìctive, and so poetic, I definitely wish I had learnt them in childhood, and they are one of the greatest works of art, and I feel this joy inside every time I see the Icelandic flag 🇮🇸 and every time I hear Icelandic, Norse languages being some of the languages that are the most fun to learn and speak and hear and see etc, because they are some of the prettiest languages ever, with gorgeous words and super cool modern sound patterns and sounds and pronunciation rules!) Also, here are some words in Gothic - namo, þein, hunds, þatist, ik, weis, eis, qen, brunna, wairþai, ains...

that's the one thing i remember from my English class, when they covered Shakespeare and previous literary works from before him. They said old English would be less and less intelligible to us modern speakers the farther you go back because of how it evolved over the hundreds of years. So shakespeare plays in their original dialect, mostly make sense to us, (and made WAY more sense script-wise in their original language) but further back, they'd really get hard to understand until you get to this old English, where you can only understand every like 20th word.

What makes New English sound the way it does today is the influence of Latin. Today, the language we speak comprises about 60% Latin words, with about 10% French, and a bit of Irish and other languages from the region. The only reason why English is considered a Germanic language is that the base of the language is Old English and not Latin.

all of these languages not only encompass a linguistic niche, but an entire society. people woke up every day in a time and place where each one of these languages came to them as effortlessly as thought. they spoke to their friends in this language. they fell in love with others who spoke it. they fought with nemeses and loved ones, and wrote poetry, sang songs, told stories and lies. to many people who came looong before us, one of these languages was their world. what would they think if they were thrown into this time, onto an older Earth, and realized that that world was gone?

That is a Patrician speaking late Latinuum Vulgus, not Classical Latin, my friend. If that gentleman was dressed like that, at the very least he had the income of a Lanista, at the most ideal we're looking at a Senator. If Senator, afraid to tell you, they spoke Greek or Classical Roman which is heavily imprinted by ancient greek. Watch some Metatron, I say it as a sincere suggestion because in essence you are right, I agree with your comment, what I cordially disagree with is that you took that modern latin made by an AI and you can hear the itallic lombardic 300 AD accent, not Cicero, not plutarch, not Cato. Matter of fact the owner of this channel used an LM from github that phoneticizes old writings, but couldn't bother credit the LM creator, or provide historical datation. Ancient Mayan? Oh, so you mean nahuatl? Ok, where's the clicks? That is modern, allthese are modern phonetizations of old texts which this dude was more busy putting some Civilization V cartoons with lipsync LM than providing datation, citation, source. I enjoy linguistics, and I know a few languages, but I don't stroke myself about being a polyglot, nor does it raise my brows much when some on YT go all "I'm polyglot", but you want proper latinuum? Coool. "American speaks Latin to Italians in Rome - watch their reaction! 😳 🇮🇹 polýMATHY 3.3M views 2 years ago" , or "Can I Fool Brits With a FAKE British Accent?! Langfocus 210K views 1 month ago" or Ben Llewllynn (Yeah, from the Welsh Llewllynn clan) KZfaq channel to learn actual umbro-itallic, umbro-fascia itallian predating latin, merged with ancient greek to give you Classical Latin, which lasted a yawn worth of time, compared to the last Roman administration being tore down, since the other side of the Senate was Popularii who spoke Vulgus, especially after Julius Caesar raised the limit of allowed senators by adding Gauls, Illyrians, et cetera as part of the Popularii party (Populist/Liberal) with the Optimates (Think of MS, Alphabet, IBM, Space X, andgo down forbes top 100 and that's who was in the Optimates party.) Do you seriously consider a Nubian trader selling hunt meat at an Aegyptus merchant would speak umbro-fasci-proto latin? I'd show you the middle finger, but you'd probably think I'm flipping you off, that's the rough estimate of how much historical knowledge you have about Roma Antica.

What’s worse is that English also changed in large part due to heavy influence from Latin and French (as well as Old Norse to a lesser extent). Nearly 60% of English vocabulary today has Romance origin because of borrowing (and about 5% is from Old Norse). This also forced English to simplify as these new vocabulary words could not easily be inflected with its existing grammar. As a result, the English language lost its gender and grammatical case systems, which are still prevalent in other Indo-European languages today. So, English has certainly changed a lot over the last thousand years. Some say English is the Frankenstein’s monster of languages. 😂

One of the best videos ever made. As a linguist I appreciate the effort you went to… and, as a linguist, I would love to hear more proto-, early, and middle languages. In particular, as a Cornish Australian, I was fascinated by Proto-Celtic. Any chance you can make something that embraces proto-, early, middle and late Cornish, all in one transitional video? Perhaps the same text ‘spoken’ in all four stages? I’m studying SWF Kernewek (Cornish), and would be extremely grateful for the chance to hear Cornish as we imagine it once was pronounced. Thank you so much for an outstanding video. I endorse all the positive comments here and look forward to your next venture!

It's so cool how unknown languages can catch the ear like that!

As a Japanese speaker, Old Japanese was completely unrecognizable, as many of the sounds used simply don't exist in Japanese anymore. However when I see it phonetically written I can draw the connection. Edit: Ryukyuan in this video sounds much more like modern Japanese, likely because it is a language that is still spoken today and the version they were presenting is a modern version that evolved alongside Japanese

Imho today's Latin pronunciation corresponds to the antique one for the simple reason that it survived through the Catholic Church. It had continuity because it was used actively, though in niche, learned in purity that saved it from 'dialect pronunciations'. But as for the rest, for example Slavic / Orthodox, the old languages were used just for liturgical reasons (translated: they didn't talk between them in old Slavic). They got the pronunciation patterns from liturgy and / or folklore, that were subject to temporal approximations. So Latin ok since it imitates how it is spoken today.

On the other side you can see latin mutating into romance languages with heavy influence from arabic and all that meets in the cent re, Mixing with some celtic to form dutch. Which evolves in to the mishmash we call english. English aint a language. It is a frankemonster of 6 different ones, pretending to be a language.

It’s really cool to hear old languages, because it inspires us to keep on learning. Old Norse sounds like Swedish to my ears. Middle Chinese reminds me of Cantonese which I am also learning. Old Japanese is impossible to understand, even knowing some Japanese dialects. The Ryukyuan language is still spoken on the main land of Okinawa and this version is the “Shuri” dialect, which was the standard language in Okinawa. I studied it when I lived there but most people don’t speak it because they were forced to learn Standard Japanese, Interestingly, Okinawans who fled to Brazil during the Japanese immigration still speak the language.

If we go far enough back in time, English recedes into Old Germanic (along with Dutch, High German, etc.), Latin/Italian recedes into Old Romance, and Old Germanic and Old Romance both eventually come from Indo-European. If both Latin and English descend from the same ancestor language, we can't really say that one is older than the other. The only thing we can really claim is that human language in itself is unfathomably old.

Sometimes it’s 90/10 , 60/40, but when my family elders talk with each other it’s completely unrecognizable compared to Japanese

The Middle Chinese part is actually a recitation of two famous Chinese poems. Even though Middle Chinese is unintelligible to me, the phonemes of Middle Chinese still exist within several Chinese/Taiwanese dialects, such as Hakka and Hokkien, so I am able to recognize the similarities and recall the sources. Here are the transcriptions, juxtaposed with translations, of the two poems: 1:28-1:45 《烏衣巷》- 劉禹錫 「朱雀橋邊野草花,烏衣巷口夕陽斜。舊時王謝堂前燕,飛入尋常百姓家。」 "The Black Clothes Alley" by Liu Yuxi "Wild blooms beside Zhuque Bridge bide, at the mouth of the Black Clothes Alley, the sun sets aside. Swallows that once graced the noble halls, now seek the humble homes where common life resides." 1:45-1:57 《問劉十九》- 白居易 「綠螘新醅酒,紅泥小火爐。晚來天欲雪,能飲一杯無?」 "Questioning Liu Nineteen" by Bai Juyi "Fresh wine with a veil of verdant lees, a humble hearth of red clay glows. As twilight descends with the promise of snow, might you partake in a cup's warm glow?"

Norse / Germanic languages are the most refined languages ever with the prettiest and most poetic words and the most Important languages that all should be learning, but these audio samples aren’t accurate at all, and the pronunciation isn’t right and isn’t clear, but I have the right Norse pronunciation rules - also, Proto European is not an Indo language, and it is a one hundred percent European language and it is also the first language ever created that was created by a dude of germanic origin from scratch a long time ago 2gether with the first writing system, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, but mostly indirectly, as newer languages were created by modifying previous languages and by creating many new words based on the new spelling rules that their creators had set, so it’s also logically incorrect to have sentences implying that ‘languages split into other languages on their own’ which is totally untrue and not logically possible, as it’s a fact that each language was created by a dude and then taught to a group of ppl that he controlled, and languages didn’t change on their own, they were changed by their creators, but the previous languages are still there, so it’s not like they never existed, and, by the way, Proto Germanic and Norse come from Latin, so they have many similarities, but still, Norse languages are way more refined, they are as refined and as elegant as Modern English, though Latin is also a refined language, which is why it directly inspired most newer European languages the most, as Latin was the biggest language during those times, but anyways, it is also incorrect to refer to Latin languages as romance, since they aren’t romantic, and the truly romantic languages are the Germanic and the Celtic languages, with Icelandic being the most romantic language ever with the breathiest pronunciation, and, the Italic languages are Italian and the other Italian-based languages that haven’t been recognized as a language yet, and Latin most likely came from Ancient Greek or some other ancient Greek-based language!

I am upper intermediate level in Old Norse and advanced level in Icelandic, and I have the right Norse pronunciation, which is the most logical, and by the way, I will use DH for the TH sound in the English words this and that, which is the approximant of D and not the approximant of T like the TH in the English word think, and I will use AO for the ‘closed’ A sound that is like an A and O sound said 2gether in one sound (similar to the A sound in Hungarian) that melts into a soft O sound! For example... - hvat sounds like hvat or vat or kvat - mæra sounds like mera - ávast sounds like avast - nágrindr sounds like naogrind:r - líkligr sounds like liklig:r or likliguhr - frænda sounds like freinda or freoynda or frenda - þat sounds like that - ræðir sounds like reidhir - hárr sounds like haruhr or har:r (could have also been har / harr) - gæfr sounds like gev:r or gevuhr - hverfa sounds like hverva or verva or kverva (any of them or all 3 could’ve been used) Also... - hæll sounds like heyl - saltr sounds like solt:r - mæla sounds like mala - drápa sounds like drapa or dropa - kæra sounds like kaera or kaira - ferr sounds like fer:r - jafna sounds like yavna - hœgri sounds like heoyri - girðing sounds like girdhing - hádegi sounds like haodegi - ørendislaust sounds like eorendislaust The word... - verr sounds like ver - ekki sounds like eki or ehki - þverra sounds like thverra - gegna sounds like gekna - vefja sounds like vevya - yfir sounds like ɪvɪr as in Icelandic - ætla sounds like etla - ofn sounds like ovn - náliga sounds like naoliga - sauma could have been pronounced either saima or seoyma like in Icelandic or both or even sauma as it is written - ofleti sounds like ofleti The emphasis of stress in Norse languages such as Norse and Icelandic etc is always at the beginning of the word - for compound words made of multiple smaller words, one should add a bit of stress at the beginning of each word that the compound word is made of and the most stress always at the beginning of the compound word... I don’t think there was any fixed way of pronouncing the diphthongs, and it’s most likely that the pronunciation of diphthongs such as AU would differ depending on the word, including pronunciations such as ai / au / ao / eoy / oy / ey etc, and it may have also differed depending on the region and accent, and the Æ in Norse can have many pronunciations, depending on the word, so it can sound like e / ei / a / eoy / oey / uey / ai / ea / ae etc, depending on what sound sounds best and the most natural and easiest to say in each word, so one should use one’s intuition a lot in Norse... The Rs are always different depending on the region and depending of the speaker in every language, but in Germanic languages, a soft normal R is usually used by most speakers and by younger speakers, and I highly recommend using a soft normal R in Norse and in all other languages that aren’t English as soft Rs have the best and most refined sound, soft Rs that are pronounced as fast as possible being the types of Rs that truly suit such refined languages as Norse and the other Germanic languages, whereas hard or prolonged or thrilled Rs sound very harsh and unrefined... By the way, it’s also important to know that in Norse and Icelandic the G is usually pronounced like a K sound, especially at the end of the word, and in many words the G is pronounced K even in the middle of the word, and there are also some words where the G is pronounced as a K even when it is at the beginning of the word, so it is normal to hear a lot of K sounds when there is a G in spelling - for example, lots of speakers of Icelandic will pronounce even the G in góðan (góðan daginn) as a soft K sound, without even realizing, and this pronunciation rule comes from Norse!

it's from a comedy clip where a icelandic person does not understand what he's saying. He also mumbles a bit. I can only catch a few words, and I'm from western norway
