4 Extinct Languages we should bring back

I got most of this from wikipedia
A list of 4 extinct languages we should bring back into use

[@adrian7856]

I don't think Coptic has any Arabic influence in itself, it rather influenced Egyptian Arabic. The predominant influence on Coptic is Greek.

[@mlgdigimon]

coptic does have arabic influence, its about the same it influenced on egyptian arabic.

[@Kaispl]

Coptic is basically mostly Greek and egyptian that's why I am against of reviving it other than reviving egyptian

[@LurkingObserver]

@@Kaispl coptic is Egyptian with Greek influence, still Egyptian

[@Kaispl]

@@LurkingObserver it's egyptian of course! But not the egyptian language, it's scientific btw not smth about me. The language is so different than egyptian to be the egyptian language which makes it a different language, still egyptian but not the egyptian language making it the coptic languahe

[@williambranch4283]

One standard pronunciation of Coptic is based on Egyptian Arabic. As a liturgical language it is 80% Egyptian and 20% Greek.

[@DarDarBinks1986]

Bring back Old Norse! I'd love to see it revived and modernized in the same way that the Vatican keeps Latin alive and updates it for modern terms and concepts.

[@staffanlinnaeus1460]

Old Norse is still with us as Icelandic!

[@VulcanLogic]

There's a substantial amount of Old Norse in English.

[@willvent]

Interesting video. My question, however, is why revive a dead language when you have languages that are on the brink of death. Efforts can be put into restoring and empowering Indigenous languages like Yupik, Ojibwe and Quechua of the Americas or even Ainu, Kusunda or Ket in Asia.

[@angreagach]

No reason we can't do both.

Congratulations. I normally don't like subscribing to channels..but your content is already more interesting than social media

[@celtofcanaanesurix2245]

no gaulish? also Coptic I think is just far more realistic, and would in my opinion be cooler because of the fact that it would be less like reviving something truly dead, and more like bringing back a language from the brink like Cornish and Manx. Shout out to Syriac (the modern descendant of Aramaic) for clinging on, I wish we could replace Arabic in all counties outside of the Arabian Peninsula with their ancient languages, Amazigh for the Maghreb, Coptic for Egypt, Phoenician for Lebanon, Syriac for Syria and Iraq (since I think Sumerian is too far gone to bring back) and maybe a Punic revival for Tunisia?

[@justaduck1664]

@@celtofcanaanesurix2245 well coptic did influince egyptian arabic grammer alot so its possible

[@ruskii_is_off]

Wouldn't it be cool to revive a language that died like 11 years ago? (I'm talking about Livonian, in the west of Latvia, I know almost nothing about it, but it's too sad seeing that it's last speaker died 11 years ago)

[@pierreabbat6157]

Trivium: "Seis" means "six" in several Romance languages, West Frisian, and Crimean Gothic. But in Livonian, "seis" means "seven".

[@simeoneutras2097]

Modern Hebrew ( mostly Yiddish germanic originated speakers ) will never be the original one, despite blabbering mizrahis and shamromims speakers are influenced by arabic everytime, it’s still the most interesting ones for ancient hebrew and proto-canaanite comprehension spoken originally by akkadics and sabaics related ancestors for all linguistics experts. And it’s just showing more the disgusting western propaganda. Considering ancient Akkadians and ancient Sabaeans came from the same sources and influenced eachothers from the very begenning. Faking something you are not cannot ever become true. Like it or not. Like it or not. It’s a dead language.

[@chimera9818]

Bro you don’t know anything about Hebrew and modern Hebrew, modern Hebrew was created by mixing Sephardic and Levantine dialects of Hebrew with the already existing Hebrew from thousands of years of books which it was used to and the gap was filled by the root system but it is still Hebrew, case in point: EVERY MODERN HEBREW SPEAKER CAN READ THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THEM ,IT IS THE SAME LANGUAGE. It isn’t western propaganda it is just a fact, we revived Hebrew

[@j.obrien4990]

Along with Coptic, I'd vote for Phoenician.

[@williswameyo5737]

Coptic should be revived since it was never under Arabic influence, it was a descendant of Ancient Egyptian but with some Greek influence, it was natively formed within Egypt unlike Arabic

[@justaduck1664]

It would be somewhat easier to revive coptic since it has had some influince on the grammmer of egyptian arabic and some of the vocab

[@Kaispl]

But why revive a language that is just Greek + egyptian why don't we revive egyptian,

[@justaduck1664]

@@Kaispl well we could just revive sahidic coptic which is essensily coptic without all the greek stuff

@@AshUndNora2 Wow I didn't know that, that's so cool and kinda crazy too

[@Trebor-17]

Dalmatian would be cool, also it is partly linked to Italian and would give continuity to the Latin heritage left in the region by Rome and Venice. For Egypt I would personally prefer Coptic because it could happen more "realistically". Sumerian is dope. Tartarian is ok.

[@Volosimbi]

As person who is half Croatian half Greek I agree that we should bring back Dalmatian (also where I can donate to you and where could a person learn Dalmatian)

[@NandaTTun]

Sino-Tibetan isn’t the same as Chinese though. Chinese is a Sino-Tibetan language but the whole area highlighted at the start of the video as Chinese speaks very different languages such as Burmese, Tibetan, the Karen languages and more that are also Sino-Tibetan and related to Chinese (but are not Chinese). And even Chinese is a clump of multiple variants that cannot understand each other.

[@uuuuuuuu-ko8cr]

I am an Egyptian Muslim. A month ago, I started learning the Coptic language, the language of my ancestors, and I very much hope that it will be revived or made a second language for the country. Special thanks go to the Christians because they are the ones who preserved it to this day, and we all aim to bring it back and teach it to future generations + Thank you for your love towards our ancient civilization. ❤

[@enacausmembrane]

Coptic, maybe fine, because Christians are Ahlul kitab, but not ancient Egyptian, pagan sinners’ language.

[@rkozakand]

Noone knows the Sumerian language, so I dont know how you would bring it back.

[@HermitKing731]

The only people who would want to revive these languages are linguists with a specific interest in dead languages.

Tocharian!!!

[@madmasseur6422]

As someone who speaks Serbo-Croatian and has learned the grammatical basics of italian in order for me to learn Dalmatian easier I can say that reviving this language is hard if not impossible. The revivalist movements seem messy and all use different versions with very different word to the point that I feel like some of them are making up their versions on the spot. On top of that the lack of papers and resources, even from the old times when it was spoken more commonly, make it super hard to fact check the revivalist movements. I'm curious which movement/group you found tho, I'd love to see their lessons/plans/works.

Except for Dalmatian, the rest of the video shows, without any doubt, that you have no idea what you're talking about. Granted this is your very first video, I hope you do your research before releasing a second one.

0:43 Arabic? That's not just the area that Arabic is spoken in. That's the area that Afro-Asiatic languages in general get spoken in. And also, the "Chinese" one also wasn't just Chinese, but the entire Sino-Tibetan family.
