Here from Frisian. You cannot escape your past.

Tēriņtš! Technically Livonian (or Livish) is a demised language already in the course of the first half of the 20th century, but the heritage goes on - as shown by today's culture creating Latvians (with or without direct Livish ancestry) like this folk sing/dance group from the Eastern Baltic shore (where my grandma - presumably of Livish descent also came from): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKi8imScfNxqaNE

I've been there is so good

Latvian language is greatly influenced by Livonian, here is a list of Livonian loan words still used by Latvian +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | Latvian | Livonian | Estonian | English | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | sēne | sēņ | seene | mushroom | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | allaž | alz | alati | always | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | kaija | kajāgõz | kajakad | seagul | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | kāzas | kōzgõnd | pulmad | wedding | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | laulāt | lōlatõ | laulatada | to marry | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | ķepa | käpā | käpp | paw | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | ķīsis | kīš | kiisk | Ruffe (fish) | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | liedags | līedõg | plaaž | beach | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | loms | lūom | loomus | catch/prey/booty (usually of fish) | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | maksa | maks | maks | payment | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | muiža | mȯizõ | mõis | manor house | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | nūja | nui | kepp | stick/cudgel | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | paisums | paizõm | looded | tide | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | puika | pȯis | poiss | boy | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | puķe | puţk | lill | flower | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | tērauds | tierōda | teras | steel | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | vajadzēt | vajag | vajama | to need | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | vimba | vīmba | vimb | Vimba vimba (fish) | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+ | laiva | lǭja | laev | boat | +----------+----------+------------+------------------------------------+

As far as I understand the death sentence for livonian language was ultimately the fact that under Soviet control the livonian coast was a border zone, the iron curtain against the west, where people were not free to live normally.

13:10 The automatic translation gives 'Here I am, you are again'. I'm pretty sure 'wer bisto' means' 'where are you'.

Strukelje would translate to Tripping/falling over. You pronounced it wrong btw. And your pronounciation for the CITY Hylpen and VILLAGE Molkwerum (should be Molkwar even in Frisian) are simply put horrible. Hylpen is 1 of the 11 cities in the province, it's not a village even if it's size is rather small. And yes, locally we call it "little Germany" as every summer it floods with German tourists. The Frisian language is fairly limited because it was banned by the Hollanders until fairly recently, the Frisians had to fight to keep their language and not be discriminated against. This is also why today the language is still limited and even to this day discriminated against. You however should just ask, Frisians are not scared of anyone asking about it. Do note that every city/town has it's own dialect on Frisian but the bigger places like Leeuwarden and Harlingen for example generally speak more Dutch. And to make it funnier for you, Drents is a Frisian dialect, even if they hate you even saying that but it's true. You can speak Frisian in Drenthe and they should be able to understand most of it.

Hey make videos playing Minecraft on Livonian

I always love when people from outside Latvia can talk about it and learn about our nation Thanks!

Thank you for your important video, Driesipops.

Why do you think child being the only native speaker of language to be sensationalized or tragic?

Good video brother, your channel's about to go boom with this video I like the humour in this

What bad experiences have you had with English and French if I may ask?

Do they have oil?

Man, these videos are full autism yo. That's probably why I enjoy them so much xD

I love all the uralic languages, im a finn, not a pro at linguistics, but i also speak ingrian (tought by my grandma) a little bit of torneo saame (by other grandma) main dialects i speak are north bothnian and savonian, and lived in Turku so that dialect is known also, most my life in Helsinki, slang comes in too. Estonian is just as complex, livonian is a missing link with Saaremaa dialect

Haven't finished the video yet but had to pause after the "it's banking" joke to give a like and subscribe. Was thinking of going to the city museum today, but was not expecting it to be on a youtube video haha

Goated video

I'm looking forward to taking a course of Livonian in the spring!

WHY IS YOUR WIKIPEDIA IN COMIC SANS

Why doesn't Belgium (the bigger and more dominant country) simply just subsume Luxembourg? Are they stupid?

At most schools in fryslan they teach frisian

Next up, do Luxembourgish!

Lovely video my friend! Perhaps it burgundy mate it to states' hell for making everything even more confusing that it should haha Also perhaps make the audio louder next time

Was thinking about you yesterday, I hope you’re doing well. 🙂

listenbourg has also a large french minority., with the east coast being concentration of french pepole, not to mention they have the best relations with france considering many politicians and their tv channels supported often the listenbourger state.

Thank you!

As someone whose great-grandparents spoke Plautdietsch/Mennonite Low German, a mixture of Low German, Dutch, and East Frisian dialects etc as their mother tongue, this was super interesting to watch! Thank you so much for getting out there (literally) and putting this video together :) 🫶

Thank you for the interesting video. However, regarding East-Frisian or Sater-Frisian, the fact was completely overlooked that East-Frisian-Low-German (Or East-Frisian-Low-Saxon) is very closely related to Sater-Frisian and is still relatively vibrant today. It is not the case that Sater-Frisian is a language island only surrounded by High-German. East-Frisian-Low-German still contains a large vocabulary from the old East-Frisian and Sater-Frisian, and East-Frisian-Low-German and Sater-Frisian is easily understandable among each other. Take a look at some videos on my channel to learn more about East-Frisian-Low-German ;-)

Looks like im in your pre-1000 subs.

Hey Driesipops! An actual Livonian here, my grandma speaks the language fluently and teaches it, I still sing in a Livonian folk ansamble and take part in all the mayor livonian activities and festivals. Just wanted to say you did an excelent job, it is an honor to see people dive in to the subject and make materials like this. And if you don't mind, I will show this video in my livonian culture lesson in a summer camp for kids this year! Great job! Subscribed.

I would support it for its relationship with old english that means alot to me

Ry'n ni yma o hyd! Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth, ry'n ni yma o hyd!

I come from a place in Latvia where eastern Livonians used to live. The name of my town (Vangazi) is a Livonian word meaning flooded field, but unfortunately only local history nerds know such an ethnicity even exists.

Great video! In a way, I still view Livonian as still being a "dead language" like Cornish because there wasn't a continuity of native speakers to pass on the language. In other words, it's kind of like Cornish, where it died and it was kind of revived, but I don't feel like it's the same thing as a language that survived all the way through. I guess Livonian is not too different from Estonian and Finnish, so it's not impossible to get a good idea of how to speak it, but I still feel like something was permanently lost.

Excellent video! I really enjoyed learning all these little things about the Frisian languages. West Frisian in the Netherlands is definitely the healthiest, in part because they apparently have so called "import Frisians" where children born from parents who aren't Frisian come to eventually learn the language.

According to the official statistics of Latvia, as of January 1, 2024, 170 people had chosen to be Livonians and not Latvians on their passports (144 of them are calling themselves "lībietis" and 26 of them "līvs", 2 words but same meaning, Wikipedia agrees) www.pmlp.gov.lv/lv/media/11043/download?attachment There is hope :)

why dont you like english or french? i am very curious

The wikipedia page of Listenbourg says there are about 59.000.000 inhabitants. Those are blatant lies to seem more powerful!

🇵🇹👍 Frisian NATION

Great video! Also coincidentally explains why a friend linked me that Twarres video a few days ago (they didn't recommend this video to me; I found it independently). I'd just like to mention that while English "starve" is 100% cognate with "sterven" (and also German "sterben", etc.), in English the meaning shifted to "die of hunger", specifically. 😻

i only speak a little finnish but livonian looks quite similar

When it's typed without the accent over the "e", Google Translate gets "wêr bisto" wrong. That really means "where are you?" not "you are again".

Very cute🥰

Fertility Rate does not include imigration. Nigeria having a high fertility does not mean it has a low child mortality. Both of these points are incredibly important.

Söl'ring sounds quite unique and exotic west Frisian sounds quite similar to Dutch but north and east Frisian are very different.

Ok so by what I understand you made the map in 2 hours? 2.HOURS???!?! dam I must have a skill issue
