As a Swiss-German speaker I was fascinated because it seems that Middle Dutch seems more similar to modern Swiss-German than is Middle High German, whereas modern Dutch is fairly remote. I understood most of the Middle Dutch without having to read the translation. I understood the Middle High German fairly well because I lknow modern High German, but the Middle Dutch is closer to Swiss German.

There was no "Old Polish" in the 1300's/1400's, the earliest "Old Polish" would be from the 1500's. Prior to that Polish/Czech/Slovak were dialects of the same language. The fragment presented is from the 1300's if I'm not mistaken: "Kazania Świętokrzyskie", so prior to the definite split of the three. A good source would be the channel: "Innymi Słowy".

I’m not clear how far back the Spanish is supposed to be. It doesn’t look like it’s contemporary to Cantar del Mío Cid, perhaps almost to Cervantes era based on certain spelling changes and pronunciations…maybe 1500s? It would be the Spanish spoken by the first wave of colonizers in the Americas it seems. 🤔

The Greek one in Greek is written: Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ Πονηροῦ, ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν. I don't know if it was written differently in the Byzantine era (where it was quite possibly written, as it is an orthodox prayer), because they has some calligraphic stuff going on there, but this is it in the Greek polytonic system. The difference between the modern Greek writing system and the polytonic is that the modern has simplified the "tones" (polytonic < poly(many) + tone(the accent mark that they even use in French and makes "á" different from "a") + ic(suffix) ) so vowels like "Α α" can have only one accent mark "Ά ά" instead of the 3+2 they could have which gave them 11 combinations "Ά ά, Ὰ ὰ, Ᾱ ᾶ, Ἀ ἀ, Ἁ ἁ, Ἄ ἄ, Ἅ ἅ, Ἂ ἂ, Ἃ ἃ, Ἆ ἆ, Ἇ ἇ" and it also removed another symbol called "υπογεγραμμένη" or "ὑπογεγραμμένη" which can go under some letters, specifically: "Α α, Η η, Ω ω" and looked like "ᾼ ᾳ, ῌ ῃ, ῼ ῳ" and it could also be combined with the previous making some weird and complex looking characters like ᾎ ᾮ ᾤ etc, having a total of 22 combinations for the letters Α α, Η η, Ω ω, 11 for the letter Ι ι, 6 for the letter Υ υ and 9 for the letters Ε ε, Ο ο. Don't worry though, it's not that complex (if you know Greek), only a little addons and grammar rules, it just looks menacing because of the possible combinations but in reality its just 3+2+1 symbols of which 1 is rarely used, the 2 go only in the beggining of words and the 1 out of 3 already exists in modern Greek.

An important correction: this was NOT written by the Byzantines as speculated in the comment above.! It's an example prayer given by Jesus Christ to his disciples when they asked him to teach them how to pray (Luke 11). The Greek text of the new testament was written long before the Byzantines

As a Polish person the old Polish was quite interesting because I understood about 95% of the words instinctivly. I'm not sure though if that is because they really are that simmilar or if because the person reading the text was "polonising" the words, by which i mean making them sound much more like modern Polish than they would if spoken by the people of the time. We also do it to modern slavic languages,.

@@rodolfodeoliveira638 that is such a *joke* that's not even funny dude. "Internationally the closest modern accent to pre 19 century portuguese is the southern brazilian accent" TIME-OUT TIME-OUT right there. Brazilian portuguese as a whole received an influence from spanish, but the southern brazilian accent is truly the one that's been the most influenced by spanish especially when you remember that the southern region of Brazil *was under spanish rule for a much longer time than it was under portuguese rule.* "European portuguese only became stress timed in the late 1800" wrong, just wrong. Are you brazilian?? Cuz that's a common mistake brazilians make and they even say that European portuguese received influence from French when that "influence" was in the middle ages and it wasn't even from French it was from Occitan. Portuguese has always been a stressed time language, that has always been part of the core of the portuguese language, from the very beginning. Brazilian portuguese and Galician don't have as much reduced sounds cuz they were all influenced by foreign languages especially Spanish. An example of that is the fact that galician-portuguese didn't really use gerund to conjugate verbs. Like where do you think portuguese came from?? It came from the *north of Portugal,* you seriously believe that random brazilians from the south of Brazil, the region that's been the most castilianized in its pronunciation, speaks with a more fateful accent?? If you go to villages in Galicia, where the influence of Spanish wasn't as prevalent, older people will talk in almost the exact same way portuguese people do, especially the one's from the north of Portugal. Also another nonsensical statement that you made was saying that European portuguese was influenced by english.... just what???? That's even funnier than saying portuguese was influenced by French. Portuguese in just absolutely no way was influenced by English 😂. The only influence ghst English had was in portuguese literature, it didn't influence the pronunciation or the vocabulary or morfology of portuguese. In fact, brazilian portuguese even uses more loan words from English than European portuguese does. And your statement is also really hilarious at how you're so convinced at how a language sounded like centuries ago through *texts*

Aus streng historischer Sicht wäre es falsch, Veldeke einer Nationalität zuzuordnen, da die betroffenen Staaten zu seiner Zeit noch nicht existierten. Veldeke also als niederländischen oder deutschen Autor zu bezeichnen, führte im Verlauf der Forschung zu ziellosen und wenig ergiebigen Debatten, die Sprachanalysen ebenso einschlossen wie geographisch-historische Recherchen. Problematisch werden diese Versuche insbesondere, weil die biographischen Daten zum Autor äußerst dünn gesät sind und Sprachanalysen einen Umweg über den Dialekt der jeweiligen Schreiber der Handschriften gehen müssen, die Veldekes Werk überliefern, um Gemeinsamkeiten herauszufiltern, die auf eine eventuelle sprachliche Identität eines Autors schließen ließen, jedoch nicht belegbar bleiben müssen

Absolutely wonderful channel. Thank you for all your hard work! I've enjoyed following your channel from the beginning and am so impressed with the variety of language that you touch on! A note on your Middle Dutch video: I am fairly certain you are displaying Middle High German text there (it shows Medieval High German diphtongs like uo in guot, as well as the high german sound shift in words like daz). "Vanden Vos Reynaerde" (Of the Fox Reynard) or "Karel ende Elegast" would be wonderful samples of Middle Dutch. Here's a few lines from Reynard the Fox in Middle Dutch: Willem, die Madocke maecte, daer hi dicken omme waecte, hem vernoyde so haerde dat die avonture van Reynaerde in Dietsche onghemaket bleven - die Arnout niet hevet vulscreven - dat hi die vijte dede soucken ende hise na den Walschen boucken in Dietsche dus hevet begonnen. Please note the lack of the 2nd sound shift in 'dat', and the very non Medieval High German vowel in 'boucken' (books; MHG would show büecher here). It looks like the sample is from the Minnesanger 'Hendrik van Veldeke', who was most certainly a medieval dutchman! But it seems that he either composed this in Middle High German, or someone translated it from a Middle Dutch version to a MHG version.

Most of the radical phonological changes from ancient to modern Greek started happening around the end of the Hellenistic period and concluded a few centuries later. So yes, Byzantine Greek is very similar to modern in terms of pronounciation even though there are significant differences in terms of grammar and vocabulary.

What you have not understood it is not actually Romanian. For example, ”I pak” is just a borrowed expression (from South Slavic / Old Church Slavonic) - mixed in the text with Romanian, like today we say ”wtf!?” when we're very surprised - under the influence of English.

Andy, the 'Middle Dutch' poem is actually in Middle High German. Although its author, Hendrik van der Veldeke, wrote in a Middle Dutch dialect, most of his works have only survived in Middle High German translations, which is what your text is. Try a piece of the medieval poem 'Van den vos Reynaerde' instead: Willem, die vele bouke maecte, Daer hi dicken omme waecte, Hem vernoyde so haerde Dat die avonture van Reynaerde In Dietsche onghemaket bleven - Die Willem niet hevet vulscreven - Dat hi die vijte van Reynaerde soucken Ende hise na den Walschen boucken In Dietsche dus hevet begonnen.

I found Latin similiar , understand very good Dutch and German (when I learn German I know none any word but learn basic in 3 month ) ,regarding the Greek accent sometimes seems as Spanish for my ear melodic , probably as sea or siren language but very similiar only in the ear melodic not meaning , the polish and Russian just one or none of word understand ! Albanian is bad pronunce and bad translated but is similiar to ancient Latin and some of ancient Venetian language dialect for some words ! Romania is interesting as well understood some Latin word some other understood but looks more like the east Roman basic language (ex Costandinopolis ) probably west Roman was Rome and east was Romania today language old variant ! Italian language understand 99,9999% ! South Italy (my grand grandmother Language it’s the best ) 🎉 If one person can learn Latin , Italian Albanian Greek and some Coptic language all these person need just 3-5 months to learn any world language include Africans or Asiatic or other ! Gjuha in Albanian comes from word (gju-throw and ha=eat) so Albanian throw the word and eat with language but even serpent use the Language to test (throw ) and then eat (sensor ) so Albanian basic word are ancient and have deep meaning , of course in Italian LINGUA (comes from li-ghuha so ghuha-gjuha is language in Albanian gheg giuha pronunced ) . As well hunda (hu-nda) mean is divided mean nose so simeteically nose is divided and central under the “3rd eye” ! Albanian language seems like an ancient elite language but probably time after times some elite changes and comes the new one , some fall and other rise some other never change … My favourite Language is Italian to speak , Sicilian to sing and Spanish to dance , the French when I have an Strait flush poker in hand so superiority or negotiation , the German and Dutch as ready to open a threasure , Greek a language of sailors and Nordic the language of war and thunderstorm ! For example word thunderstorm in Albanian is RRUFEIA (rru mean save and feja mean the faith) is pure Zeus god and this language is important to be studied not for the Albanians but for what they represent ! Despite all of us European or not European are sons of god and previous same father 3000 or 30,000 or 300,000 years ago some things that deserve smth need interest and believe me one of this is Albanian ‘ My plan is to learn 5 other laanguages just by culture ! I think maybe wrong all world language has one language in their base so oldest language can be probably that ! 🎉love Europe from Belgium

When did the Spanish j sound evolve from sounding like the J of English, French and Portuguese to having a sound like that of the aspirated h of Germanic languages? I noticed that in Old Spanish the j is pronounced like we pronounce it in modern English.
@sekzyasian9094
@sekzyasian9094 11 ай бұрын
That change occurred during the 1600s and became fully established by the end of the 17th century in what we call the readjustment of the sibilants. It wasn't just the "J" that lost its palatalization but also the "G" before "e" and "i" vowels like in the words "genius" or "imagination". The gist of it is is that these palatal sounds malformed and turned into /sh/ sibilant sounds, and then, after these two letters changed sound; too many words with "SHs" started being performed at the front of the mouth. And so with time, these sounds slowly started creeping their way further and further into the back of the mouth until reaching the velar region where modern Spanish has them. And along with this change, not only did Spanish lose almost all of its palatal sounds but it also lost the /sh/ sound entirely from its phoneme inventory which is why other languages ​​write the modern Spanish spelling of "Don Quijote" as "Don Quixote ". Because old Spanish used to have the "x" letter reserved for the /sh/ sound. So those languages ​​that write "Don Quixote" or pronounce it as "Don Quishote" (like Italian for example) are truer to the original pronunciation than Spanish lol. Galician went through this same exact evolution but stopped right at the "SHing" phase. And so in Galician they pronounce words like "genius" and "imagination" as "shenius" and "imashination". Though there's still the Ladino language (Judeo-Spanish). Which is practically Spanish with that old pronunciation but with a bit of many other languages ​​mixed in. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8Bnet2a3Leqkqs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMpigbCJxNWtg2Q.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJuPa9Znr5yVk4E.html

It's also worth noting that this aspiration is known to have started in the southern region of Spain which is now "Andalucia". You can see how it makes sense how they could've started aspirating these sounds because nowadays it is common in that region as well as in the Canary Islands to aspirate the /s/ or to not pronounce it at all. This aspiration of the /s/ can also be heard in some latin american accents like the venezuelan. So the belief that these changes ocurred thanks to the influence of arabic is debatable to say the least. Mainly because the strong /h/ that resembles that of the Arabic one is a trait found only in the northern and central regions of Spain.
