We need to watch and learn about these things, not about BS in everyday's media, which, we know, support different agendas. We need to know and understand eachother. Our ignorance is the root cause of everything bad. Ignorance is food of fear, fear is the fuel of haterade, haterade is the seed of war. We don't need that, that's why we need to see things like this. Peace to all!

Unified ‘national languages’ are a recent phenomenon. France, for example, still had hundreds of mutually incomprehensible languages until the nineteenth century. They were mostly wiped out by education carried out in the Parisian dialect. In general, increases in wealth go hand-in-hand with homogenous language and cultural levelling. If you never leave your village, then you only need communicate with and get along with those in your village.

Same here in Czechia, I can say where is that person from just by his accent in English, our regional accents are that strong, that you can hear that even when they speak different language, for example people in Moravia increase volume at the end of word (especially when it ends with i) and people from Silesia skip long vowels (like in Polish) and you can hear that even when they speak English. Even here in village 30 km from my mother city (which is Prague), I sometimes have problem to understand, for example they use completely different word for female dog and such things related to animals or agriculture and they use word "longer" where it was supposed to be word "later" which makes me crazy, like they say "I will arrive longer" instead of later and when you explain it to them, you will realize that they totaly don't know their native language, so I don't understand how could they finish elementary school. 😀

The overwhelming majority of the population of Turkey are descendants of non-Turkic speakers such as Armenians, Greeks and other native Anatolians who were Turkified in a long process known as “elite dominance”. A relatively small number of ruling ethnic group brought in a new language and a religion. Within centuries the big part of Anatolian population was Turkified. Latin America became “Spanish” in a similar way. I suspect many ethnic groups in Russia are undergoing a similar process of Russification but things are different in information age now.

Krais are legally identical to oblasts. 3 major Russian cities function as separate regions. The republics that are part of Russia have the right to establish their own state languages, which are used along with the state language of the Russian Federation. All autonomous oblasts (except one) became republics after USSR collapsed. Russia consists of 89 entities (60 territorial and 29 ethnic). 24 republics (of 29 ethnic entities) have established 37 additional state languages.

Since that fab adventure I've always been very interested in Russia. At the time it was still USSR. A couple of years ago during the pandemic as we were not able to travel, I started looking for songs in various languages. My university in France INALCO teaches a few languages that are spoken in Russia as well as Russian of course and I used their list, but eventually I went on to find more than 400 songs from all over the world, each in a different language or dialect. I got to learn a bit more about Russia on that occasion and I found songs in Tatar, Crimean Tatar, Yakut, Avar, Chechen, Buryat, Bashkir, Mari, Ossetian, Chukchi, Yukaghir, Altai, Evenki, Ingush, Chuvash, Kalmyk, Karelian, Khakas, Khasi, Komi, Koryak, Khanty, Permyak and Selkup, so I'm very pleased to find your video and I can't wait to see more about that as I am already a subscriber!

Not dissimilar in Britain. Whilst some counties have similar accents, there can be tell-tale signs such as rhoticity, phonemes, and dialectics which indicate (accurately) where the speaker is from. It's possible to tell which city or town someone is from at times even outside of specific "accent areas" such as Newcastle or Liverpool. For example, I'm originally from a city next door to Leeds in West Yorkshire (for Leeds accent - think Mel B from Spice Girls) and yet it's possible to detect a difference between the two due to the Leeds accent having slightly flatter vowel sounds (e.g. make = /meɪk/ vs /mɛk/), and fewer glottal stops.

Latin script is the best fitting alphabet for Turkic languages. Kazan Tatar or other Tatar dialects are Turkic languages. Even Cyrillic is more fitting for Turkic languages than Arabic script. Arabic alphabet is extremely unfit for any Turkic, Finnic or any northern Eurasian languages. Just because some Turkic nations used it in the past, they do NOT have to use it again. Centuries ago, there were no linguists that chose the best alphabet for any language scientifically. The rulers chose for religious reasons, not for linguistic compatibility. Turkic, Finnic and Northern Eurasian languages are rich in vowels and are agglutinative languages, which are entirely different than any Semitic language, like Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, etc.

Hi Eli! It is very interesting to know that in Russia there are no dialects or accents, but there are other languages. However, it seems strange to me that there are no accents, it seems almost impossible. If I come to Russia and speak Russian, surely they recognize me as a foreigner by the accent I speak. But are all the languages spoken in Russia documented at the school level so that if one wants to study them, he can do it easily? If this work has not been done, I believe that you should plan to create a linguistic memory of all these languages so that they are not lost. However, visiting 85 regions is a real feat that can take several years, but I think it's worth it to visit a wonderful country like Russia. Thank you for this content and many greetings from Italy.

In America, the part of the country with the most dialects is along the East coast because that is the part that has been settled the longest. The further West you go, the less dialectal variation you'll tend to find. Russia had a similar history to America in that it expanded far to the East not all that long ago. While I'm surprised there aren't strong dialectal variations in the West of Russia, I don't find it surprising at all that there's not much dialectal variation the farther East you go.

She did say there were three basic accents: northern, central Russian and southern. The southern Russian accent is more or less the same as that of Russian speakers in Ukraine. There are Wikipedia article on this subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Russian_dialects en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Russian_dialects en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Russian_dialects

It means that you are unlikely to distinguish by the accent of a person born and raised in Russia. And if a foreigner has learned Russian and came to Russia, then of course the accent is likely to be felt

I am from the Republic of Bashkortostan. We have our own parliament, our own constitution, or own flag and anthem, or own religion and language. And yes, we have 2 state languages. We have been with Russia for 500 years.

My grandmother lived in a tatar village somewhere in Ulyanovsk oblast and didn't speak much Russian until when she moved to the city at the age of 16.
