Does anyone know where Blackpool city comes from

Car is also celtic origin. In modern irish it's carr in latin its carrus and from there it came to english as car...

The name of Hungary came thusly: In the 1st Century a.D. there were two tribes related to each other, the Ungarns and the Magyars. They were living around the Ural mountains. The Ungarns had traveled to warmer, greener lands and eventually ended up in Eastern Europe. The Catholic Church soon discovered the Ungarn people and called their new land "Ungaria". A couple hundred years later, the Magyar people had also travelled the same route their Ungarn cousin travelled, and ended up in Ungaria. The Catholic Church, not knowing or even caring the difference between Ungarns and Magyars, had seen the Magyars and called them Ungarns. Ungaria turned to Hungaria, which turned to Hungary. The Magyars, who to this day are still saying "we are not our Ungarn cousins" call their country "Magyarország", (magyar+Orszag = magyar country).

Residents of Wolverhampton were called Wulfrunians. Don't know if they still are. I was born and raised there before it became a city .

About "connaître", you speak of "recognise". They share indeed the same root (or do you say radicus? ) and your explanations are great, but I'd like to give a little extra. "Reconnaître" and "recognise" have more or less the same sense. You can recognise someone just as you can "reconnaître quelqu'un". "Reconnaître" can also be used to say "Je reconnais mes erreurs", meaning "I admit my mistakes". Or for a father to " reconnaître un enfant" is a way to say he admit the fact that a child is his. We also have an other verb using the root "connaître", it's "méconnaître" meaning "to wrongly know", almost used about judging that somebody else has misconception about a subject.

Thanks for such an interesting take on the name of the countries. Regarding to "Anglesey"...me my self comes from a Norwegian island steeped in rich viking history, called "Engeløy" in norwegian. Directly translated that is "Angel's Island"...but theories about the origin for the name is interestingly 1) it comes from the shape of the island, looking like a hook (an "Angle/Ongle" in the native dialect) OR 2) that it means "Ongul's øy" (The Island of Ongul)... Ongul/Ongl was a Viking chief having his farm/seat on the island. He is known to have travelled west to Iceland... (and maybe) Anglesey? All the best from Hugo C over in Norway🇳🇴

Regarding definite article, in Swedish you double up on the specifics going extra specific, using both an article and postfix to the noun. Jag såg en hund = I saw a dog Jag såg hunden = I saw the dog Jag såg den hunden = I saw that dog

Liechtenstein isnt called Liechtenstein because of a castle in Austria... The country gots its name from the Monarch Family Liechtenstein who "rule" the land.

C, Q, and X can all be dropped, or even better-repurposed. C is always K or S sounding, or maybe change it to a “ch” sound exclusively. Thereby not needing a new letter. Q is always K or Kw sounding, someone suggested repurposing Q for the Kw sounds and just dropping the u. X is always Ks or Z sounding. Maybe respell all ks sounds to x. Considering only these changes: Sedar-Cedar Koxsyx-Coccyx Cello-(unchanged) Cex-Cheques Cek-Cheque Kax-Cakes Kak-Cake Bax-Backs Bak-Back Tax-(unchanged)/Tacks Kue-Queue/Cue Qeen-Queen Qak-Quack Zylophone-Xylophone The only issue I see is more words becoming homonyms/homophones. But I’m sure we can adapt eventually. And there needs to be some sort of accent added to vowels maybe.

At least you don't change the definition of a word or the meaning of a sentence by changing the tone of your voice or intonation -- as in the Chinese languages.

The brother of a grandparent is really a GRANDuncle -- not great-uncle; yet, people say "Great-Uncle __".

Scandinavian words , there fixed it for you.... Thor is not the god of war.. Tues (Tyr) is, yes Tuesday is from a viking god too. Friday is from the goddess Frigg (Thor´s mother) Thor is the god of thunder, hence thunder is named after him. In Scandinavia Wednesday is also a god´s day for Odin (Onsdag) = Odin´s day

English is much more forgiving to learn, french, not so much.

You can just make C make the CH sound

English has Old French or Norman French words not modern French words, words like luminaries. I am of Anglo-Norman descent paternally my surname is Vernon. My ancestors would have spoken Anglo-Norman French but then transitioned to Middle English, but they probably knew Latin being of nobility.

Great video. All I know is that the French love the apostrophe! They must have invented it.

How would you write the modern vowels?

Chez vous is to your place

Un goûter it’s a snack

You have a kitchen? Coulda swore you lived in a park… drive on the parkway and park in the driveway.

a very interesting story about runes . i believe that the swastika was first observed in ancient hindu script.

It's interesting that they needed Sanskrit to notice the similarities between Greek, Germanic, and Slavic languages.

Regarding welsh, there are the related German, Swedish and Danish words rotwelsh, rotvälska and rotvælsk. The Swedish word rotvälska is used today as "incomprehensible language", or "cryptolect used by criminals". It's typically derogatory

English doesn't have a question particles, *right*?

And that's the problem in America. They're trying to force this Caucasian word, but Irish people are not Caucasian and the Caucasian mountains are in Russia and a language represents a nation of people, so we cannot all be the same people from Europe where separated by languages, meaning it's on tribe is on people modernary nations have evolved in countries Aunt. They conquered and force other people. One nation in history is rewrote and lost

And that's why we can't get accurate dna Anglo-Saxons. The Vikings came into Ireland Celtics and also Rome came into England. Also the Celtics an empire that stretched all the way to Spain

It's interesting. My last name is Kelley My father's side of the family came from Ireland. My great grandmother was from Ireland. She spoke in thousand days. My grandmother family originated from Welch

Lots of love from Derby :D

Free Ireland give Ireland back to Ireland and out of colonialism because if it was black people it would be a different story

And as an Irish American free Ireland and I thought I know I'm not saying that right Celtics galeb language

As an anglophone in France I often struggled with ou/où.. until I realised I was asking my friends "where do you put the accent" ... So now I know it goes on the where :)

I’m not sure if this has any correlation but Persian speakers when speaking English add an e to words, Spanish speakers do the same: Eschool. Persians can’t say squirrel so they say escroll. My dad says “estudy” sometimes though it's not super noticeable anymore. "did you ehstudy?" I get why spanish speakers do it because they have words that start with e or a vowel. Escuela, estrella (star), escoba, aceite (zeit in Arabic). In Farsi, we say sitara for star. It all could be a coincidence.

In Farsi, Father is Padar, mother is madar and daughter (girl) is dokhtar. In German, the pronunciation for daughter is the same.

Can you do a RobWords about the closeness of Welsh and Breton? Possibly including a little Cornish.

The Morse coding of numbers reminds me of the song "Bingo".
