I have always been interested in the origins of languages and the differences between languages. In my latest video I explore some world languages that share a lot in common and try to answer the question “what is a language?“.
0:00 How I am preparing for my trip to Denmark, Sweden and Poland.
1:35 Czech and Slovak: very similar, so why are they considered distinct languages?
2:42 Often the distinction between a language and a dialect is political.
3:09 The situation with Ukrainian and Russian.
