Ya ŋahaŋ ku e Andy. Munya ka?Good day! My name is Andy. How are you?Let's talk about the Malaweg language.Malaueg Language: The Malaueg language, sometimes spelled Malaweg, is primarily spoken in the town of Rizal in Cagayan and parts of neighboring areas like Lasam and Apayao. While some linguistic studies have categorized it as a dialect of Itawit due to similarities, the uniqueness of the Malaueg language is acknowledged by both groups. The distinction between Malaueg and Itawit may have developed over time due to the blending of influences from nearby Itawit and Isnag communities. Despite this, the language remains a crucial marker of identity for the Malaueg people.Malaueg People: The Malaueg people are an ethnolinguistic group in the Cagayan Valley, particularly centered in the municipality of Rizal. Established as a town in the early 17th century by the Spanish, the name "Malaueg" is thought to derive from words meaning "similar to" and "stream," possibly referring to the Matalag River. Historically described as brave and warlike, the Malaueg people resisted Spanish conversion efforts, as seen in the 1607 rebellion led by the animist priestess Caquenga. Although eventually Christianized, they have maintained a strong sense of identity and pride in their heritage.Malaueg Culture: Malaueg culture is a blend of indigenous beliefs and Christianity, with traditions that have persisted and adapted over centuries. The local epic of Biuag and Malana, which portrays the hero Malana as hailing from Malaueg lands, is a source of pride for the community. Folk practices such as “atang” (food offerings) and “paanud” (healing ritual) demonstrate the integration of indigenous customs with Catholic faith, illustrating the dynamic and resilient nature of Malaueg cultural identity.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

They are often referred to as the "River People of the Cordilleras" due to their close connection with rivers, and their province is the only one in the Cordillera region that is fully navigable by boat. This deep relationship with waterways is central to their way of life.Isnag CultureIsnag livelihood traditionally revolves around bartering with neighboring groups such as the Ilocanos and Ibanagas. Goods exchanged include pottery, fabrics, and metal supplies for coconuts, cacao, and honey. The Isnag word for barter, mangibanag, reflects their interaction with the Ibanag people. Their culture is marked by distinctive tools, such as the aliwa (a male weapon/tool) and the iku (a female tool), which symbolize their craftsmanship.

PROTO-AUSTRONESIAN & FILIPINO ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-10 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. *This is a tentative reconstruction and should not be regarded as definitive or authoritative. Proto-Austronesian (PAN) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Austronesian languages, a large language family spread across Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of mainland Asia and Madagascar. Spoken around 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, PAN is believed to have originated in Taiwan, from which early Austronesian speakers migrated. The language gave rise to many daughter languages as the Austronesian peoples expanded, leading to the development of various branches, such as Malayo-Polynesian, Formosan, and others. PAN is reconstructed based on shared vocabulary, phonological, and grammatical features found across Austronesian languages today. Understanding PAN provides insight into the migration patterns and cultural exchanges of ancient Austronesian societies.Filipino is the national language of the Philippines and serves as a standardized form of Tagalog, one of the country's major languages.

Thamudic Script: Decoding ANCIENT NORTH ARABIAN Inscriptions ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-10 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special thanks to Hassan! :)Ancient North Arabian Language:Ancient North Arabian (ANA) is a group of closely related Northwest Semitic dialects spoken by various nomadic and sedentary groups in the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Classical Arabic. These languages, primarily known through inscriptions, are divided into several scripts such as Safaitic, Thamudic, and Hismaic. While ANA shares similarities with early Arabic, it is distinct and existed alongside it before Arabic became dominant. Written primarily on rock surfaces and monuments, ANA inscriptions provide insights into the daily life, religious practices, and social structures of the people who used these dialects.Ancient North Arabian People:The people who spoke Ancient North Arabian belonged to various tribal groups spread across the Arabian Peninsula, including the Safaitic, Thamudic, and Lihyanite peoples. These groups were largely nomadic, though some had settled in oases and engaged in agriculture and trade. They lived in the harsh desert environment, relying on camels for transportation and survival. The tribal nature of their society meant that kinship ties were central, and they often migrated in search of resources. Some of these groups interacted with neighboring civilizations such as the Nabataeans and Assyrians, leaving behind inscriptions and evidence of their presence.Ancient North Arabian Culture:The culture of Ancient North Arabian societies was deeply influenced by their nomadic lifestyle and the desert environment. Their religious practices centered around local deities, with inscriptions often invoking gods and spirits. Camels played a critical role in both their economy and culture, being a symbol of wealth and survival. Their art was primarily expressed through rock carvings and inscriptions, which depicted daily life, animals, and symbols of religious significance. Although they were often considered peripheral to the more established kingdoms around them, their inscriptions demonstrate a complex society with its own customs, language, and interactions with neighboring peoples.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

Nabatean Arabic was written in a script derived from Aramaic, which eventually evolved into the Arabic script used today. The language exhibits both North Arabian and Aramaic linguistic features, marking a transition between the old Arabian dialects and what would become Classical Arabic. This hybridization reflects the Nabataeans’ role as traders and intermediaries, linking the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean world. They were early adopters of Arabic, and their inscriptions, which blend Aramaic script with Arabic vocabulary, are among the earliest written records of the Arabic language. Over time, as the Nabatean kingdom fell under Roman and later Islamic rule, Nabatean Arabic gradually transitioned into the Classical Arabic form.The Nabataeans were a Semitic people who emerged as a powerful kingdom between the 4th century BCE and the 1st century CE. Their origins are thought to be nomadic, but they settled and established a highly sophisticated society, with Petra as their capital. The Nabataeans became wealthy and influential due to their control of key trade routes, particularly the Incense Route, which connected Arabia with the Mediterranean world. They were known for their business acumen, trading in spices, incense, precious metals, and luxury goods, making them a dominant commercial force. Despite their prominence, the Nabataeans maintained a certain mystery, with limited written records about their early history, though their inscriptions later reveal them as early adopters of the Arabic language. Their society was also characterized by a blend of local Arabian traditions and external influences, as they interacted with neighboring peoples, such as the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians.The Nabatean culture was a fusion of indigenous Arabian elements and external influences, particularly from the Greco-Roman and Egyptian worlds. They are most famous for their incredible rock-cut architecture, exemplified by the city of Petra, where entire buildings, temples, and tombs were carved into the rose-colored cliffs. Their religious practices were diverse, centered around the worship of Dhu-Shara, the god of the mountains, and included other deities such as Allat and Manat. The Nabataeans also adopted aspects of Greek and Roman art, architecture, and even deities, creating a unique cultural mix. One of their most impressive achievements was their sophisticated water management systems, which included dams, cisterns, and aqueducts, allowing them to thrive in the harsh desert environment. Their culture’s cosmopolitan nature, combined with their skillful adaptation to their environment, enabled the Nabataeans to build a thriving, lasting civilization that continued to influence the region even after their absorption into the Roman Empire.

Rediscovering the TAINO Language: Words from the Caribbeans Lost Tongue ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-07 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special thanks to Yadiel NievesSeneko kakona! Andy daka. Saka bo?Hello! Andy here. How are you?Let's talk about the Taíno language.Taíno was an Arawakan language spoken by the Taíno people who inhabited the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas. Many English words still in use today are borrowed from the Taíno language, such as iguana, hammock, cay, maize, cassava, and barbecue. Unfortunately, aside from sentences recorded in the chronicles and loanwords found in Caribbean Spanish, the Taíno language is largely lost. Recent revitalization efforts have aimed to resurrect or construct a new version of the language for modern descendants. These efforts include careful comparison with other Arawakan languages to extract surviving words and create a framework for Classical Taíno.The Taíno people had a complex social hierarchy with chiefs (kasīke) at the top and servants (aboria) at the bottom. Most Taíno lived in round huts called bohíos, while the cacique resided in a rectangular home known as a kaney. Social events such as ball (batú) games and areytos took place on leveled grounds called bateys, some of which, like the Caguana Ceremonial Ball Court in Utuado, Puerto Rico, can still be visited today. Before the introduction of European foods, the Taíno primarily ate a variety of aye (edible root vegetables) like batata and yuca, often paired with ahí (peppers) and maysi (maize), which remain staples in Caribbean cuisine.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

AUSTRONESIAN: WESTERN CHAM & JARAI ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-06 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Western Cham is a variety of the Cham language, part of the Austronesian language family, spoken primarily by the Cham ethnic group in Cambodia and Vietnam. Western Cham, also known as "Cambodian Cham," is distinct from its eastern counterpart in Vietnam due to historical, cultural, and religious differences. The language uses an adapted form of the Arabic script (Ajami script) for writing, although some communities have retained the older Cham script. Western Cham has a rich linguistic heritage, reflecting centuries of interaction with neighboring Southeast Asian and Muslim communities.Jarai is an Austronesian language spoken primarily by the Jarai people in Vietnam's Central Highlands and parts of northeastern Cambodia. It belongs to the Chamic subgroup of the Austronesian family, making it related to Cham and other Chamic languages, though it has evolved distinctly due to geographical and cultural isolation. It has been influenced by neighboring Vietnamese, Khmer, and Lao languages. The Jarai people, traditionally animist, have incorporated aspects of Christianity and other religions into their culture, and the language has a Romanized script for writing. Jarai remains central to the identity and daily life of the Jarai ethnic group, although it faces challenges due to the dominance of Vietnamese and Khmer in the region.

SINDHI LANGUAGE, PEOPLE & CULTURE ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-06 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special Thanks to Atta Malik :)Asalām alekum! Muhińjo nālo Andy āhe. Tawhāń jā kehrā hāl āhin? Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?Let's talk about the Sindhi language.Sindhi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 30 million people in Pakistan and 1.7 million in India. It uses the Perso-Arabic script in Pakistan, while both Perso-Arabic and Devanagari scripts are used in India. The language is first mentioned in the Nātyaśāstra (200 B.C.–200 A.D.), with the earliest written evidence being a Qur'an translation from 883 A.D. Sindhi was influenced by Persian and Arabic after the Umayyad conquest in 712 CE, and its literary tradition flourished during the Medieval period, notably with Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s poetry. Under British rule, Sindhi was further developed, securing its current status in Pakistan. The language's name derives from the Sanskrit word síndhu, referring to the Indus River.The Sindhi people have a rich and vibrant culture characterized by strong family ties, hospitality, and a deep respect for tradition. Historically, Sindh has been a melting pot of various cultures, resulting in a unique blend of South Asian, Persian, and Arab influences. Sindhi culture is renowned for its music, folk dances, and spiritual Sufi traditions. Sindhi cuisine is known for its flavorful dishes, including sai bhaji (a spinach-based dish), biryani, and ladoo (sweet treats). The Sindhi community is also known for its contributions to arts, literature, and commerce, maintaining strong connections with their heritage while embracing modernity.Sindh and the surrounding areas house remnants of the Indus Valley Civilization, with Mohenjo-Daro being a key example. Built around 2500 BCE, Mohenjo-Daro was one of the largest cities of the Harappan culture, known for its advanced urban planning, standardized bricks, street grids, drainage systems, and water supply infrastructure. The city, contemporaneous with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, was abandoned around the 19th century BCE as the Indus Civilization declined, likely due to environmental changes that reduced water supplies. Rediscovered in the 1920s, Mohenjo-Daro became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 but faces threats from erosion and improper restoration efforts. The civilization at its peak may have supported a population of up to five million people.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

How Dutch Colonization Shaped Early Modern Sundanese Language! ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-05 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special Thanks to 12. Haikal FK :)Kaoelanoen! Djisim koering Andi. Koemaha wiloedjĕng?Hello! My name is Andy. How are you? Let's talk about the Early Modern Sundanese language.Early Modern Sundanese was the stage of Sundanese in the 19th century (c. 1800-1900) as the successor to Classical Sundanese (c. 1600-1800 C.E.). This period began during Dutch colonization, resulting in many Dutch vocabulary borrowed by Sundanese. During this period, the Sundanese language also began to use the Latin alphabet as a writing system with spelling adopted from Dutch spelling. It would later develop into Modern Sundanese in the early 20th century and after Indonesian independenceTwo important figures in the modernization of the Sundanese language at that time were Karel Frederik Holle, a 19-century Dutch colonial administrator in the Dutch East Indies who paid great attention to the revival of the Sundanese language and made Sundanese the language of the nobilities in the Preanger Regencies Residency. The other one is Muhammad Musa, a native who was also a literary figure from the aristocracy as well as a pioneer of Sundanese printed literature.The first modern textbook in Sundanese, Kitab Pangadjaran Basa Soenda (the Sundanese Language Textbook), was designed and printed in Holland in 1849 or 1850. As many as 1,490 copies of this 24-pages book were sent to the Dutch East Indies.After that, Sundanese print literature developed rapidly, marked by the publication of teaching books for schools, such as Kitab Itoengan Pangmimitina Pisan/The very first Arithmetic book (1866), Wawatjan Pandji Woeloeng/The Tale of Panji Wulung (1876), and Dongeng-dongeng Pieunteungeun/Reflection Tales (1888).This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

INDO-EUROPEAN: TOCHARIAN B & VEDIC SANSKRIT ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-04 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Vedic Sanskrit is the ancient language of the Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, composed between 1500 and 500 BCE. It is an early form of Sanskrit, significantly older than Classical Sanskrit, and represents the language of religious rituals, hymns, and philosophical texts in early Indian society. Vedic Sanskrit's grammar and phonology are complex and evolved over time, preserving older Indo-European features that later forms of Sanskrit would simplify. The language was primarily oral, with meticulous attention to pronunciation, pitch, and intonation, as it was believed that precise recitation was essential for the efficacy of the rituals.Tocharian is an extinct branch of the Indo-European language family that was spoken in the Tarim Basin, in present-day northwestern China, during the first millennium CE. It is known from two primary dialects, Tocharian A (also called East Tocharian or Agnean) and Tocharian B (also called West Tocharian or Kuchean). These languages were written in an adapted Brahmi script and were primarily discovered in Buddhist texts, as well as commercial documents and letters. Tocharian is linguistically significant because it exhibits features that are distinct from other Indo-European languages, providing insights into the diversity and spread of the Indo-European peoples. The language disappeared by around the 9th century, likely due to the influence of expanding Turkic and Chinese cultures in the region.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics.

LANGUAGE ISOLATES: The Worlds Most Mysterious Languages! ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-03 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Language isolates are a fascinating category of languages that stand alone, having no known relatives or connections to other languages. Unlike language families, which group languages based on shared ancestry, language isolates are linguistic enigmas, often reflecting the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the communities that speak them. Examples include Basque, spoken in Spain and France; Ainu, found in Japan; and Korean, which some linguists argue may be isolated. The study of these languages not only enhances our understanding of human communication but also provides insights into the migration, evolution, and identity of the people who use them. Delving into language isolates opens up a world of diversity and complexity, revealing how unique linguistic features can emerge in isolation from their linguistic neighbors.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

URALIC: PROTO FINNIC & FINNISH ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-02 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Proto-Finnic is the reconstructed common ancestor of the modern Finnic languages, including Finnish, Estonian, Karelian, Vepsian, Livonian, and others. It was likely spoken in the region surrounding the eastern Baltic Sea, including southern Finland, Estonia, and parts of northwestern Russia, during the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age (around 1,000 BCE to 500 CE). Proto-Finnic is part of the Uralic language family and evolved from an earlier Uralic stage before diverging into the distinct Finnic languages we know today. Although it is not a language spoken in any present-day region, it serves as a theoretical reconstruction used by linguists to understand the historical development of the Finnic languages through the application of the comparative method and sound changes observed in its descendants.Finnish is a Finnic language of the Uralic family, spoken by most people in Finland and ethnic Finns abroad. It is one of Finland's two official languages, along with Swedish. In Sweden, Finnish and Meänkieli (mutually intelligible with Finnish) are official minority languages. The Kven language, also mutually intelligible with Finnish, is spoken by a Finnish-descended minority in Norway's Troms and Finnmark counties.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

BALOCHI LANGUAGE, PEOPLE & CULTURE ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-02 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Salaam! Mani naam Andy en. Tao chune?Good day! My name is Andy. How are you? Let's talk about the Balochi language.Language:Baluchi is a north-western Iranian language spoken mainly in Eastern Iran and Western Pakistan. Historically, the Baluch people are believed to have migrated eastward, possibly due to tribal conflicts or harsh cold weather. The language is divided into three main dialects: Makurani (Southern), Rakhshani (North-Western), and Suleimani (North-Eastern), reflecting the geographical and cultural diversity within the Baluchi-speaking regions. Despite migration and regional differences, the language remains a vital symbol of identity for the Baluch people, preserving their linguistic heritage across generations.People:The Baluch people have a nomadic history, traditionally known as pastoralists, though many have settled into more permanent communities. They are renowned for their strong values of modesty and honor, guided by their code of conduct called Baluchi Mayar. This includes principles such as nang (honor), ghairat (modesty), and the concept of Hon (revenge). Hospitality (MehmanDaari) and loyalty to promises (Qoul) are also integral to Baluchi life. Traditional clothing plays a vital role in Baluchi identity, with women wearing intricate hand-embroidered "doochi" dresses and men donning the Paag (headwear), kamees (shirt), and shalwar, known for its unique layered style.Culture:Baluchi culture is deeply rooted in traditions that emphasize honor, kindness, and bravery. Baluchi rugs are highly sought after and recognized worldwide for their exceptional craftsmanship and value, making them a prized possession. Music, dance, and cuisine are important cultural expressions, with the Chaap dance being a notable traditional performance. Food staples include Sajji (roasted meat) and Tabaheg (dried, salted meat), both seasoned minimally to highlight natural flavors. The Baluch community remains closely connected to its cultural roots, valuing its customs and way of life, while also taking pride in their distinctive contributions to art and hospitality.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

SEMITIC: ARABIC & MALTESE ILoveLanguages! 2024-10-01 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Arabic is a Central Semitic language of the Afroasiatic family, mainly spoken in the Arab world. There are 32 varieties of Arabic, including Modern Standard Arabic, derived from Classical Arabic. Western linguists distinguish between Modern Standard and Classical Arabic, but Arabic speakers typically do not. Arabic is the third most widespread official language after English and French and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.Maltese is a Semitic language derived from medieval Sicilian Arabic with significant Romance influences. The Maltese people speak it and is the national language of Malta, as well as the only official Semitic and Afroasiatic language in the European Union. Originating from Siculo-Arabic, a Maghrebi Arabic dialect, it evolved independently following the Norman invasion of Malta, undergoing a process of Latinisation. Unlike other Arabic varieties, Maltese has no diglossic relationship with Classical or Modern Standard Arabic. Its morphology has been deeply influenced by Romance languages, particularly Italian and Sicilian.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

ROMANCE: CORSICAN & CAMPIDANESE SARDINIAN ILoveLanguages! 2024-09-30 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Corsican is a Romance language spoken on the island of Corsica, France, and northern Sardinia, Italy. It is part of the Italo-Dalmatian dialect continuum and is closely related to the Tuscan dialects, including Florentine-based standard Italian. Although classified as a regional language in France, scholars debate whether Corsican is more closely related to Centro-Southern Italian dialects or Tuscan varieties.Campidanese Sardinian serves as one of the two written standards for the Sardinian language, renowned for its conservatism within the Romance language family. It draws from the spoken dialects of central southern Sardinia, distinguishing itself from Logudorese Sardinian by certain linguistic traits. This variant is marked by distinctive phonetic and grammatical features, shaped by historical influences from Latin, Catalan, Spanish, and Italian.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

INDO-EUROPEAN: TOCHARIAN B & HITTITE ILoveLanguages! 2024-09-30 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Hittite is the earliest known Indo-European language, spoken by the Hittites in Anatolia (modern Turkey) from around 1600 to 1100 BCE. It is part of the Anatolian branch of Indo-European languages and was written using a cuneiform script adapted from Akkadian. Hittite retains many archaic features, such as laryngeal consonants, that have been lost in later Indo-European languages. The language was deciphered in 1915, providing a major breakthrough in understanding Indo-European linguistics. Most texts in Hittite come from the ancient capital of Hattusa and include legal, religious, and historical documents. After the fall of the Hittite Empire, the language gradually disappeared.Tocharian is an extinct branch of the Indo-European language family that was spoken in the Tarim Basin, in present-day northwestern China, during the first millennium CE. It is known from two primary dialects, Tocharian A (also called East Tocharian or Agnean) and Tocharian B (also called West Tocharian or Kuchean). These languages were written in an adapted Brahmi script and were primarily discovered in Buddhist texts, as well as commercial documents and letters. Tocharian is linguistically significant because it exhibits features that are distinct from other Indo-European languages, providing insights into the diversity and spread of the Indo-European peoples. The language disappeared by around the 9th century, likely due to the influence of expanding Turkic and Chinese cultures in the region.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

ITALIAN & LADIN VAL BADIA ILoveLanguages! 2024-09-29 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Italian is a Romance language from the Indo-European family that evolved from Vulgar Latin. It's the least divergent Romance language from Latin, along with Sardinian. Italian is an official language in Italy, San Marino, Vatican City, and parts of Switzerland. It has official minority status in Croatia and parts of Slovenia. The standard Italian language originated from 12th-century Tuscan literature, and its modern form was shaped by more recent developments, though its core grammar and lexicon remain similar to those used in 13th-century Florence.Ladin is a Romance language from the Rhaeto-Romance subgroup, primarily spoken in Northern Italy's Dolomite Mountains by the Ladin people. It shares similarities with Romansh (in Switzerland) and Friulian (in northeastern Italy). The exact boundaries of the Ladin-speaking area are debated, with some defining it narrowly around the Sella group valleys, while others include neighboring valleys in Belluno and northwestern Trentino. A standard version of Ladin, called Ladin Dolomitan, has been developed for use across the entire Ladin-speaking region.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

CLASSICAL LATIN & ETRUSCAN ILoveLanguages! 2024-09-29 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. This is a amateur reconstruction and should not be regarded as definitive.Latin is an ancient Italic language that was originally spoken in the region of Latium, where the city of Rome is located. It became the dominant language of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, serving as the lingua franca across vast territories in Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East during classical antiquity. Latin profoundly influenced the development of the Romance languages—such as Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian—which evolved directly from its vernacular forms. Moreover, Latin has significantly impacted the vocabulary and grammar of many other languages, including English, especially in fields like law, science, medicine, and theology. Although Latin is considered a "dead" language in terms of native speakers, it remains in use today within the Roman Catholic Church, academic scholarship, and legal terminology, continuing to be studied for its historical importance and rich literary tradition.Etruscan was an ancient language spoken and written by the Etruscan civilization in the region of Etruria, corresponding to modern-day Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio in Italy, from approximately the 8th century BCE until it was gradually supplanted by Latin by the 1st century BCE. It is a non-Indo-European language that remains only partially understood due to the scarcity of extensive bilingual texts and the limited number of surviving inscriptions. The Etruscans adapted their alphabet from a variant of the Greek script, and their writings are primarily found on funerary monuments, tomb inscriptions, religious dedications, and various artifacts like mirrors and pottery. While scholars have deciphered the Etruscan script and identified some vocabulary and grammatical structures, much of the language's syntax and lexicon remain a mystery, making it a subject of ongoing research and fascination in the fields of linguistics and ancient history.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

Historically, Provençal referred to the entire Occitan language, but now it specifically refers to the variety spoken in Provence. It should not be confused with Franco-Provençal (Arpetan), spoken in parts of Italy, France, and Switzerland. Provençal was used by troubadours and in literature from the 11th century.It was also used in legal, administrative, and court documents from the 13th century. Its official use declined in the 16th century, and it was replaced by French after the French Revolution in the late 18th century.Franco-Provençal is a Gallo-Romance language originally spoken in parts of France, Switzerland, and Italy. It is distinct from neighboring Romance dialects but related to them. The language has several dialects, including Savoyard, spoken in areas of the historical Duchy of Savoy in France and Switzerland. The number of Franco-Provençal speakers has been declining, and it is classified as "nearly extinct" by Ethnologue and considered endangered by UNESCO. Today, Savoyard has about 35,000 speakers.This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes.

PROTO-AUSTRONESIAN & INDONESIAN ILoveLanguages! 2024-09-28 | Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. *This is a tentative reconstruction and should not be regarded as definitive or authoritative. Proto-Austronesian (PAN) is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Austronesian languages, a large language family spread across Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of mainland Asia and Madagascar. Spoken around 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, PAN is believed to have originated in Taiwan, from which early Austronesian speakers migrated. The language gave rise to many daughter languages as the Austronesian peoples expanded, leading to the development of various branches, such as Malayo-Polynesian, Formosan, and others. PAN is reconstructed based on shared vocabulary, phonological, and grammatical features found across Austronesian languages today. Understanding PAN provides insight into the migration patterns and cultural exchanges of ancient Austronesian societies.Indonesian, the official and national language of Indonesia, is a standardized variety of Malay and has long served as a lingua franca in the multilingual Indonesian archipelago. Indonesia, the fourth most populous country globally, has over 279 million people, the majority of whom speak Indonesian, making it one of the world's most widely spoken languages.The Lord's Prayer (Proto-Austronesian Reconstruction)1.
