Turkish is such an endangered language ❤🙏 One day I hope the Rhomanian government would recognise it as an official language 😭

I saw you on my recommended page and that profile picture feels familiar, have you ever happened to play on a certain worldbuilding Minecraft server...?

You should look up my good friend Dr Uldis Balodis, who's done some intensive research on this language in recent years.

I met an older lady in Ventspils who was half Livonia and who could count in Livonia. It sounded like Finnish and Estonian to me.

Great job! It looks like I was listening Rikāz rānda for long enough so KZfaq recommended me this video. Also I like endangered languages so that also can be a reason. Anyway, I hope your channel will grow and we'll hear about other interesting topics from you in the future✨

Livonian isn't a dying language, it was just that little speakers.

I've been thinking about caterpillars, and the things they don't know. All they do is eat on leaves then they gradually grow. When they pop out of their eggs, do they have any clue what their life will have in store for them and what they will do? They don't know where they're headed, they don't know where they're from. And they have absolutely no idea what they will become. These little wormies metamorphosize into something more. but I wanna make it clear this song is *not a metaphor.* I just think caterpillars don't know what's goin' on. They're dopey as heck, don't know why we respect something that can't do long division, write petition, or pay with a check (AND I CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS!) I just think caterpillars don't know what's goin' on! I can eat leaves, and I can also climb trees, and I also conceive of what I'll be in three years: A keeper of bees. (A bee keeper!)

It's cool seeing some kind of representation from these languages so people can be awared of their existence. What wraps my mind is the fact there's a whole bunch of hundreds of languages that fit in the endangered category and are simply bound to be forgotten.

In the middle of the video i was heartbroken. At the end I was elated

hating french (language) is pretty based.

where'd you get the scrolling flags animation in the intro from? or did you make it

You could have said at least the last sentences correctly :D

There's quite a few finno-uralic languages & cultures around the baltics that are in a similar state as Livonian. Some of them more wide spread in south-east Estonia/Russia border like Seto - other's almost forgotten & less than 100 speakers like Ingrian around the St.Peterburg area.

Your laughter is contagious. Top tier jokes as usual btw.

Very well done! I'm loving the traction this video is getting.

Bro be munchin.

Dries: _2 low camera batteries, broken brakes, almost got hit by a car for 2 minutes of recording in nature_ Also Dries: Was it worth- *yes.* The unwavering confidence makes this hilarious, but be more careful next time for a clip outside lmao

i really like the noodle-esque style you went for here, its pretty neat :) i wish i had the means to make vids like it too lol

once again had fun watching ^^

I hope you enjoyed the video, if you have any constructive criticism or suggestions feel free to let me know!

Come one we all know the truth, He’s Luigi.

Tēriņtš! Dutchman living in one of those former fishing villages on the Livonian coast here! Very interesting video, thanks for helping share the story of the Livonians. One more factor contributing to the decline of the population speaking Livonian in the 20th century is the policies, actions and inactions of the first independent Latvian state in 1918-1940 where the aim of building a unified nation was prioritised over the interests of (linguistic) minorities. However in these years, the Livonian Union was formed and with aid from abroad it was quite successful in initiating events, education etc and building a community until the Soviet occupation took place. Later in the second half of the century much of this work slowly started to be picked up again and the same Livonian Union is very active along with other bodies such as the Livonian Institute of the University of Latvia. The resilience of the Livonian people is incredibly admirable!

MY HOVERCRAFT IS FULL OF EELS🎉

Well i have a chess series named chess war. Its an object show!

Some people I know smuggled snails between the north of Portugal and Listenburg. Now that both countries are members of the EU, that way of life is over, which is unfair.

the term "soviet occupation" cannot be appleid to Latvia. Only to Estonia.

how are you not famous

Learn Livonian then

Long live Listenbourg. I love listenbourg from Uk

3:02 Not Sala[k]a Livonian, but Sala[ts]a Livonian,

Where is this country now are you jackass or something it doesn’t visible from space and Spainish people also don’t see it

0:06 we get it. Your a hippy.

The fake laughter is annoying.

Speaking of Uralic languages, a dive into Mansi and Khanti would be appreciated.

you should keep making videos about those other smaller languages

Latvian here: We are descended from the tribes you mentioned, the nuance however is that in the Baltic crusade, most of us were Pagans except for the Orthodox Christian Latgalians. The crusade was a bloody affair involving many massacres (chiefly made by the Germans), which depopulated the other tribes (except Latgalian) severely. After the crusades conclusion and the joining of all "Latvian" lands in one country under the Crusaders the Latgalians having a superior demography and social standing as Christians were established at the top of the Baltic social hierarchy which lead these local tribes to mix into and assimilate into them. For reference these Latgalians are "Old Latgalians", and the modern Latgalian dialect is descended from an already unified early form of Latvian from around 1500. Furthermore, the areas where the Livonians live tend to speak their own Livonian subgroup of Latvian which has its own words and generally simplified grammar (as result of ignorance as they adopted the Language).
