Bengali is a huge language with a rich history. It is the seventh most spoken language in the world but somehow it doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm here to rectify that. Did you know that the national anthem of India was written in Bengali? And that the first Nobel Prize in Literature won by a non-European was for this language? And that the International Mother Language Day was declared by UNESCO following the struggle of Bengali speakers for their language recognition? Did I manage to spark your interest? Check out the video to learn more about the history and cool features of Bengali!
One of the native speaker example is this recitation of Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata by Rabindranath Tagore. The first verse of this poem became the national anthem of India, this is the full poem, check it out, it's beautiful: youtube.com/watch?v=5NIh2iUmTcc

A Native American tribe that in the 19th century was more literate than the Europeans, a nation that fought for their land against the Americans but helped them during WWI and WWII, a language with its own unique writing system invented by one man in just 12 years. Cherokee language has a rich an sometimes turbulent history, with only 0,5% of the community speaking the language on a native level. At the same time, a lot of effort is put into language revitalisation, and the bold plan is to bring Cherokee back to everyday use by 2050. Check out the video if you want to learn more about this fascinating language, its history and its unique characteristics.

The Indo-European language family - the most well-researched and the first family to be proven. Surely everything is already discovered about it, and there are no controversies or unknowns... right? Well, I'm here to challenge your views (and my own, to be honest) that everything is set in stone regarding the Indo-European language family. Going through the latest research in the field, I personally changed many of my own beliefs on the matter. So even if you think you know everything there is to know about the Indo-Europeans, I'd still ask you to check this video out. You too may discover something new.

What is common between Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary, Ieoh Ming Pei, an architect, and Jackie Chan, the Jackie Chan? They speak the same language. Which is… - Chinese, correct. But which Chinese? Because there are many varieties of Chinese, or many Chinese languages. The variety these three famous people share as a native language - Cantonese - has a strong presence in modern Chinese culture and is spoken not only in China but all over the world. Cantonese had a rich history from Cantonese opera to Hong Kong cinema and Cantopop and has a strong presence not only in South East China, but also all over the world.
#chinese #hongkong #macauAbout the Swahili languageJuLingo2024-06-06 | Simba, Rafiki, Pumba and of course Hakuna Matata – all these famous names and phrases come from probably the most well-known and the most widespread African language. If I told you, name one African language, you’d probably name this one. Swahili is a lingua franca in East Africa and an official language in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. Around 100 million people speak Swahili (and many more can understand it to some extent), however it only has around 5 million native speakers. How did a small language of just 5 million people become a language that people all throughout East Africa use in order to understand each other?

The Etruscans are often described as mysterious for many reasons. Their origins are unclear and their language is still not entirely deciphered. Greek and Roman historians regarded them as pirates and frivolous people and did not give their culture the credit it deserved. That’s why till these days in schools we study Greek history and then jump straight to Rome. But there was a very important piece in-between these two - the Etruscan civilisation - which in many ways shaped Rome.

We're going to explore the Sioux language, though the term "Sioux" has been falling out of usage recently. These days people refer to this language as Lakota and Dakota (those are the names of the two main dialects). It's was a fascinating language to research and I hope you find it interesting to learn about it too!

Most definitely we immediately think about a subculture or an architecture style. But the word has much deeper roots and another very different meaning. The Goths were a Germanic tribe who once dominated half of Europe. They had their language and their own writing system, both are now long forgotten. But who knows, maybe if history played out differently we would all be speaking Gothic now?

I filmed this video back in December, and yes it took me that long to edit it. I first thought of it as an act of support to the protests in Iran that were triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini (who was Kurdish by the way) back in 2022. As I already had a video about Persian, I decided to make this video on Kurdish and to donate the income from it. I haven't decided yet what is the most appropriate organisation, is it helping Kurdish refugees, or helping refugees from Iran, or helping all refugees, but I'll put it here when I make my decision. In the meanwhile, enjoy learning about Kurdish!
Kurdish language is spoken in the region of Kurdistan by the Kurdish people - a largest nation that doesn't have a country. It is spoken across several countries throughout the Middle East and it has a very different status in each of those countries. Kurdish language may be spoken in the Middle East, but it is not related to Arabic or Turkish. Instead, together with Persian, it is included in the Indo-European language family, that contains also many Indian and European languages, including English. That's right, Kurdish is closer to English than to Arabic! And there are many more unique and interesting features of Kurdish that we explore in this video!

The war in Ukraine is still making headlines, but here I just want to explore the Ukrainian language, its unique features, and its history. I know that at the moment anything concerning Ukraine becomes political, but here let's just see this beautiful language for what it is. I hope and wish languages always remain tools for connecting people and not a reason for conflict.

Besides, it has had quite a different destiny in these three countries.

It's the language of the people who created the first civilization and the first writing system. Or is it? This language was no longer spoken 4 thousand years ago, so we reconstruct it by the small fragments of the past that we find buried under the sands.

It is also an Afroasiatic language, which means that it is related to Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic and Maltese among many others. Hausa language grew thanks to the Trans-Saharan trade in the medieval times, and it continues to be one of the most influential languages in West Africa.

But it is for sure one of the most fun and unique languages to explore.
