Do you speak any of these non-European European languages?

Indo-European languages aren't natively European. The only single still living native European language is Basque.

Not to forget Kalmyk, a Mongolic language spoken in the Western coast of the Caspian Sea

Basque is also traditionally spoken in parts of south-western France (not just in Spain as mentioned in the video).

All those languages developed and are spoken natively in Europe and thus European. You confuse Indo-European with European and IE languages are spoken natively in Asia as well.

I literally screamed when you mentioned Sana (Cypriot Arabic), it's crazy to see ppl even be aware of it, let alone mention it

I’m happy to see so many people saying that it is nonsense to say those European languages are not European just because they aren’t Indo-European.

I think the premise is a bit weird. Indoeuropean most likely originated within what we consider modern Europe (Black Sea steppe), but so did Uralic and, considering there's no evidence against it, Basque. The former is just considered the default due to its huge dominance. So the only ones that are actually "Imports" from further away are Arab/Maltese (Arabia) and any Turkic languages (Central Asia).

The premise that Indo-European languages are somehow inherently more European than the languages mentioned here is just completely false. They have originated much farther away from Europe than say, Finnish for example. The only reason they are considered more European is that the majority of the continent speaks one of them as their native tongue. And the majority always seems to be right.

How isnt for example finnish "not european" language if it has been in europe before "indo-europeans"

7:50 Basque is also in France, not only in Spain. But I still enjoyed this video

You forgot to mention that the Caucasus gave origin to not only one, but three completely independent language families: South Caucasian aka Kartvelian, Northwest Caucasian aka Abkhazo-Adyghean and Northeast Caucasian aka Nakh-Dagestanian. The latter of the three is by far the largest of them in number of languages and includes for example Chechen. Oh yeah, and then there's Kalmyk, a Mongolic language spoken in European Russian Kalmykia

Have fun with the research on the "how Uralic Languages Ended up in Europe" video. Im Hungarian myself and not even we can come to an agreement on where we come from and how we got here. Linguistically its very complicated. And it leaves people making wild guesses as to the origins of and migration route of Hungarians. For example, in the modern standardized Hungarian language, we definitely have "relative" words with Germanic, Slavic, Turkic, Latin, and Persian languages. But in what order we picked them up and when is heavily debated. Some will say we are actually a persian language originally, while others will say we are a long lost Indo European branch. I suggest you do your own research and be weary of people who write about the subject for political reasons. However, from doing my own research, I have reached my own vague conclusion: 1. The Proto Uralic people who's branch would eventually become the Hungarians lived in central/northern Siberia and are likely the relatives or originators of the Saami, Khanti, Innuit, Native Americans, etc. Possibly the Mongol, Korean, and Turkic people as well but its all very vague and fuzzy that far back in time. 2. Eventually during the Indo European migrations to India, the migrators must have had some form of connection or contact with these "proto uralic" people. As many of the most archaic terms for horse husbandry and nomadic life originate from Eastern Proto Indo European. And it is likely that here some Proto Uralics must have adopted the lifestyle where others didn't. Becoming distinct people over time. Enter the Proto Ugrics. 3. Next in our linguistic history, we have words for numbers (like hundred and thousand) as well as various agricultural terms including beer, being of Persian origin. How these fit into the story is anyone's guess but due to a few myths and legends of Hungarians being connected to Persia, I believe that at some point the Proto Ugrics must have migrated down into Persia. Where they must have stayed for a considerable amount of time. 4. Next we have Turkic and Slavic words appearing in our language. More modern words for more modern items. It is likely that this is when the Proto Ugrics, who may have branched into just the Magyar tribe, appeared in south western Siberia. And mixed heavily with the various Turkic tribes of the area. 5. Finally we reach recorded history and know that a coalition of 7 tribes led by the Magyar chief Almos (and later his son Arpad) migrated into Ukraine and finally into the Carpathian basin where Hungary exists today. What is not for certain is the background of the many tribes. It is likely that they were some mixture of Ugric, Turkic, and possibly Persian or Mongolic tribes. And the impact they had on the modern Hungarian language as a result is hard to quantify as a result. 6. German and Latin words for the most modern terms appear. And there is no question that Catholicism as well as the very close relationship the Kingdom of Hungary had with Austria and the HRE had a large impact on this. I hope you find this information useful, and I encourage you do a considerable amount of research and be careful of your sources. I wish I could list my own sources but I constructed this theory from years of sporadic research. Though if Im right your own research will confirm my understanding. If not, well then Im sorry for wasting time.

Hungarian, Estonian, Finnish and other Uralic languages are all European languages, as the overwhelming majority of linguists and archeologists place the birthplace of the languages west of the Ural mountains, in Eastern Europe. That makes these languages technically paleo-european languages just like basque. But everybody seems to forget about this. Just sayin.

Basque is the only truly european language, it exists and existed way before indo-europeans,uralics and so on

The Sami and Baltic-Finnic branches are the edge of what was once a vast language family Hungarian on the other hand belongs to an entirely different group that migrated all the way from the Ural Mountains, and were culturally very different from other Finnic-Uralic peoples and followed a form of shamanism similar to Turkic-Mongolian peoples and other horse nomads rather than the Finnish gods

I would have liked to hear mention of Kalmyk, a Mongolic language spoken in the Kalmykia republic of Russia, north of the Caucuses.

Fact, Basque is the only European language the others can go back to ; the Manych plain (IE), Arabian desert (Maltese), Ural & Altai mountains (Uralic & Turkic)

bro the Uralic languages and Caucasus languages and Basque are European. this is like saying Japanese is not an Asian because its an isolate or of jul'hoan is not a real African language because its not bantu. i think every language that originated in Europe is European .

List of missing languages: Juduzmo, Võro, Votic, Ludic, Karelian, Various Caucasian languages (Adyghe, Lezgi, Kumyk, Balkar, Budukh, Abkhaz, etc.), Migrelian, Svan, Laz

Indo-European languages => Originated in modern day Ukraine and Western Russia Kartvelian languages => Originated in the Caucasus mountains Northeast Caucasian languages => Originated in the Caucasus mountains Northwest Caucasian languages => Originated in the Caucasus mountains Basque => Originated in the Iberian peninsula Uralic languages => Likely originated east of the Ural Mountains in Northern Asia Turkic languages => Originated in modern day Mongolia Afroasiatic languages => Likely originated in the Levant

How did Hungarian get so isolated? Magyars. Finnish and estonians went north, Magyars went south.

what about Kalmyk, a mongolic language spoken in Russian europe near Kazakhstan?

Turkey ok some small territory in the european continent if you may include it to Europe but Georgia in europe?🤔

In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.

You have not mentioned Chuvash - the most original Turkic language. It spoken mostly on the Volga.

IE is only the largest by number of speakers-there are 3 other language families, being atlantic-congo, austronesian, and sino-tibetan that all have more languages in them

Yiddish & Ladino feel worth a mention because they're technically Germanic and Romance respectively, but they're creolized with a Semitic language (Hebrew), so they have grammar structures you wouldn't generally associate with German or Spanish, and are written in Hebrew script

Whenever i see Turkey and Europe mentioned in the same sentence, some people jump into it, saying "Turkey isn't Europe. Turks aren't Europeans." etc. I get it, their president is awful. But could you please stop the negativity?

All of those languages did influence some Indo European Languages and recieved influence from Indo European languages, good example being Turkish

Indo-European languages are prevalent in Europe and parts of Asia. Non indo-european languages spoken in Europe also belong to european continent and culture. Calling only indo-european languages european is uneducated. Basque, georgian, estonian, hungarian, maltese, finnish, gagauz, tatar, nenet, sami and others... are not indo-european languages but are languages primarely spoken on european continent and claiming they are not european is downright offensive. The video is actually about non indo-european languages spoken in Europe but it's done poorly.

You could probably also count Ashkenazi Hebrew; though technically a dialect of Hebrew, it has a substantial presence in Europe.

At 8:30 ish, you claimed that Maltese was PIE.

You're right about cross continental language if European Asia different country and they're not by definition of continent an age you are wanting continent plus Africa

6:29 That Proto-Turkic speech bubble seems to be coming from Manchuria rather than modern day Mongolia

As warriors, the Huns inspired almost unparalleled fear throughout Europe. They were amazingly accurate mounted archers, and their complete command of horsemanship, their ferocious charges and unpredictable retreats, and the speed of their strategical movements brought them overwhelming victories. For half a century after the overthrow of the Visigoths, the Huns extended their power over many of the Germanic peoples of central Europe and fought for the Romans. By 432 the leadership of the various groups of Huns had been centralized under a single king, Rua, or Rugila. When Rua died in 434 he was succeeded by his two nephews, Bleda and Attila. The joint rulers negotiated a peace treaty at Margus (now Požarevac, Serbia) with the Eastern Roman Empire, by which the Romans agreed to double the subsidies they had been paying the Huns. The Romans apparently did not pay the sums stipulated in the treaty, and in 441 Attila launched a heavy assault on the Roman Danubian frontier, advancing almost to Constantinople. (BRITANNICA)

Majority of currently living Uralic speakers inhabit Europe. The majorities in Asian countries speak languages from entirely different language families. The Uralic languages originated to the west from Urals making its origin place European no matter how one looks at it.

Great Aryan race spreaded indo european language in Europe.

Azerbaijani is. basically the same language as Turkish with some differences in dialect .

Okay , Turkey has a little piece in Europe, but Georgia, is definitly not in Europe, but in Asia.

The name kartvelian comes from an ancient Georgian mythology, Kartlos was believed to be the father of all Georgians. The same way eastern Province of the Georgia is named Kartli (former Iberia)

Great video!

Respect from Georgia 💝

It makes absolutely no sense to me that countries as far to the southeast as Armenia and Azerbaijan (south of the Caucasus) are considered by some to be partially or wholly European. It almost seems like a surrender of the concept of geographically objective boundaries.

im sorry, i know this has no relevance. but what is drake doing as a Patrion member?

Indo Uralic could be an ancestor of proto Indo European and proto Uralic languages

>European Languages That Aren't European Basque is literally the oldest language in Europe. And Uralic languages are as native to europe as indoeuropean. To conflate traditionally european languages like basque and finnish with turkish is either misleading or downright dumb.

Holy pooo people way to not watch the video and get that its just a premise forbthe video not that hes saying all these languages are actually not European but "non Indo European languages spoken in Europe" isnt a catchy title

Would yiddish be considered another native European language?

Is Cypress actually physically in Europe or actually Asia?!?!?!?

You should do a video on all the Indo European languages that are not native to Europe like Haitian, Afrikaans and the Indo-Iranian languages.

What about yiddish

1:33 Good to know that Hungarian is spoken in Bulgaria and Estonian is spoken in Russia.

This was another improvement in your videos, Patrick and although there are some here questioning your characterisation of the languages covered as not 'European', generally I can see where you're coming from. It came as a surprise to me when you said that Azerbaijan was only partly in Europe, when I think of it as entirely therein.

In various parts of the world-uh

Man, the wording in this video is horrendous 😂😂😂😂😂 it's so bad that ut actually becomes misinformative

0:35 Whole of India or even whole of North India is not hindi, only a large part of Northern India is.

i find that there is no point in bringing up turkish as turkey and turkish people and seen as Europeans. sure on the map they are included as "europe" but that doesn't mean they are European. ask any europien person and they will say they arent. not because we dislike them or anything but rather because their culture is not alike ours and thus they are not one of us

Every end of a word be like : European Languages that aren't European.. Rrrrrrrrr

You forgot the Kalmyk people in European Russia, the Iranic languges in southern Russia by Azerbaijan

Change the "Leave a super thanks" video from "Americans Shouldn’t Be Called American" to "How did the Countries of South America Get Their Names?" at the timestamp 9:36.

BULGARIAN CIVILIZATION 1ST and EUROPE VINCI TRACIAN BULGARIAN CIVILIZATION

I saw something wrong with the thumbnail. Not watching, but take my like!

Georgia is in Europe? That's news to me.

Modern youtube "educational helpful" content as it finest. According to which criteria languages are devided into European and non-European, if most of these linguistic families existed in both Europe and Asia for hundreds of years. All theories about proto-languages and their homelands are just theories and speculations. If we go by what actually is historically recorded, we see that earliest Indo-European language was attested in Asia Minor. On other hand, no Finnic language was recorded in Asia, all of them be it Estonian, Udmurt, Erzya or Sami were speaken in Europe (georgraphically) at least within last several millenias.

GEORGIA MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Suggestion: why are there more language families in asia than in europe?

Forgot dobrujan tatar😢

Latin didn’t migrate, it conquered, and then the various new languages arose when those regions were conquered by different barbarians

My friend Latin him never migrate to This Land Is come by Force

>Georgia >European

Finnish language is spoken much bigger area on Europe than Italian. Finnish is more European.

BULGARIAN and Armenia VOLGA BULGARIAN DUNAV BULGARIAN 1ST BULGARIAN

cyprus is not always considered europe

I speak a little Albanian 🙂

This just shows how Europe & Asia aren't continents

There are some links between Basque and Georgian I've read

Why do you speak like that eeee

Recently, they discovered that the closest modern spoken language to basque si Armenian, so probably basque came to the Iberian peninsula during the migration era, just after Rome fell

"Even Ukrainian" 😂

Grazie.

Georgia isn't Europe.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Intentions were great, but even the name of the video is misleading and offensive. If these languages are spoken in Europe, then they are European. Indo-European languages are named Indo-European becasue their speakers now live in India and Europe. So what is the difference then? Just because these language families dont have "Europe" in their name does not mean they are any less European. Please dont gatekeep being European from cultures and languages which have been spoken in Europe for hundreds of years.

Cyprus isn't in Europe. If Indo-European originated south of the Caucasus rather than north of it it also isn't from Europe. Basque is the only language left in western Europe from the original European languages from before Indo-European spread. Maltese is Arabic with lots of Italian and other words. You accidently called it Indo-European in the end. You mentioned the Kartvelian family which is mostly south of the Caucasus and therefor not in Europe but didn't mention the Pontic (or Northwest Caucasian) and Caspian (Northeast Caucasian) families that are north of the Caucasus and are in Europe. It's tricky to say that migration make languages spread. It's usually very little migration of some elite that and mostly the local population that shifts to their language

The sound you end nearly every sentence with are highly irritating to me.

Technically Indo-European also originates with migration of a people from the Eurasian Steppe. Yeah, the Eurasian Steppe is really underrated.

Why "even" Ukrainian? Why the "even"?

You forgot Armenian 😢

Turkish, Hungarian and Georgian are better!

What about Finnish, Estonian, Basque etc.

15th like

Europe ends at France. Everything west of there is Asia :)

Funny how people split Fins and Sami. Fins are Sami. Sami are gew different groups of people akon to "germanic". Fins are part lf Sami family. Fins as a cukture were special fr.the other Sami simply based on the division between nomadic, semi nomadic and settled. Fins wrre the settled Sami. As it usually turns out, stating in one places makes it generationally easier to build up structures and transfer more skills, knowledge as well as form a society where not everyone has to be a food provider but a service provider (eg educator)

You forgot Finnish, Estonian, and Sámi.. They are not indiginous European languages either. (Indo-European)

Neither Georgia nor Turkey are in Europe, they are in Asia.
