@@mightykimo not all of north Africa are Arabs... I'm half Swedish half Tunisian, my father is from the far south and he's as dark as a Malian or a Kenyan or whatever. He doesn't look middle eastern at all, he looks like a black guy with a little straighter hair (curly and not coily.) Most of us Maghrebins aren't Arab, we're Berber/Amazighen. I even took a DNA test, I'm only 6% Arab. Keep in mind Tunisia is the most Arab of the Maghreb countries (well Libya is if you include it,) so imagine Morocco. We're only culturally Arab, and even there it's different. Just because a lot of us looks like Arabs it does not mean we are Arabs - a lot of Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians could easily pass for Arabs.

@@ritzzbitzz however, remember that we are almost the only country that could take control of which language can affect us! the history tells us that we never liked Romans -for example- that's why we never spoke latin, but we liked greek poeple and Coptic was spoken alongside greek until the time before islam. and nobody complained bcuz the choice of language depended on the religion and greek mostly belonged to a different church. After islam we CHOSE to change our language at first. I mean it's similar idea to Aramiac in the Levant, when levantine people changed it into Syriac as they were identifying themselves as "Christians" and they believed that the people who still speaking Aramiac at this time were disbelievers. After the time of islam the Egyptian Muslims convert to islam and also to Arabic speakers because it was helpful to understand their new religion which they were proud of. Remember that we are using now the language of the English colonizer too😂 it's very hard now to revive Coptic in everyday street language. It's still sacred in the Egyptian coptic Church but it's still dead. if you really want to revive it I recommend you to read about how Israeli Jews revived Hebrew. This is the only linguistically successful method to revive a dead language.

Maybe discuss what people would do for fun or what famous tourism their country has and make others guess the country? I would also love to see more Middle Eastern and South Asian countries too. We only have India so far. Maybe we can have Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc. as well as the Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, etc. There’s so much potential and I am so excited they made a video of Africans! 😍

When Japanese don't have a word or don't know one they usually take it from a romanized version of english. Because the fast majority of characters are two two letters by English language conventions {Yu being a single letter, shi being a single letter} a lot of romanized words often have an "Engrish" sound. For example dreadlocks could be pronounced doredorokusu.

​@@jannepeltonen2036 Yeah, but even then, you can find more Asians than Europeans in South Korea, especially Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai, and even Uzbek, Mongolians, Cambodians, and Filipinos. They are going to be much easier to find than Europeans, then shouldn't by that logic make this channel more Asian-centric? What I noticed is that a lot of the foreigners hired in this channel are models in South Korea. As a Korean myself, I can tell you that Korea is very biased for Eurocentric beauties and American aesthetics, over African, Latin American, South and Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, Polynesian, etc. There is clearly a disproportionate hiring process of Europeans and Americans, because they have the desirable "foreigner" features. Meanwhile, other countries outside Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, have that stigma as being poor, dangerous, underdeveloped and filthy, so there is not much interest in learning about the country, the language, and its people, since they are viewed as inferior cultures.

@@lissandrafreljord7913 I mean you’re not completely wrong but think about it this way: most European and other Western nations are more likely to come on this show since they feel more comfortable in their English and meeting other groups while other Asian groups would be more shy even if there are more of them than western people. There’s also a good amount of Latin people on the show too! I really like this expansion making it really feel like “world” friends. It is a step in the right direction. I would love to see more African content as well as newcomers like Central Asia and more Arab/South Asian countries as well.
