Finnish is actually completely different than the other Nordic languages. It belongs to a whole different "language group" and has more in common with Hungarian. Estonian and Finnish is very similar. Swedish, Norweigan and Danish is very similar, especially in writing (a Swede kan write in Swedish to a Dane or Noweigan or vice versa). Danish, however, sounds very different than Norwegian and Swedish.

[@herrbonk3635]

15:05 When _"Finnish and Swedish kind of sound alike",_ you have probably heard a Finnish person speaking Swedish. They tend to do it with their characteristic prosody or melody. As others have already pointed out, Finnish (and Sami) are basically unrelated to the other nordic languages. Finnish and Swedish share thousands of words though, due to close proximity, and being the same country for six centuries. However, these words are decorated with the special agglutinative syntax of Finnish grammar, making them hard to recognize.

[@marspacebun]

what you call "russian alphabet" is called the "cyrillic alphabet" which is used by some slavic languages (others use the latin alphabet or both) and they're all part of the same big slavic language family tree which itself subdivided into smaller groups. that's why they remind you of russian, as it is the most popular one worldwide of the bunch. despite that, most speakers of the other slavic languages don't really understand russian and can only pick apart a few familiar-sounding words when they hear it. so, much like other language families, they all have differences despite being related and some are more mutually intelligible than others

[@tovarishcheleonora8542]

The cyrillic is not only used by slavic languages.

[@dimitargenchev6932]

The Finnish language does not come from the same language branch as the Scandinavian languages. English is linguistically more closely related to Scandinavia than Finnish is. This is why many list Norwegian as the easiest language to learn for an English speaker and Swedish as number two.

[@1Anime4you]

Well, they are probably related at a much deeper level. New research heavily suggests that Indo-European and Uralic languages shared a common ancestor way back.

[@SairanBurghausen]

@@1Anime4youNah

[@1Anime4you]

@@SairanBurghausen Many linguistics have done analysis on this subject and they are building the corpus of a factual theory as we speak. There is a lot of evidence in support of the idea that Indo-European and Uralic languages are related.

[@sagittariusa9012]

Romansh is an official language in Switzerland (but not many speak it). It is basically a mix between Alemannic German/Swiss German) and Latin. The name Romansh comes from Rom/Roman Empire and not from Romania (which is also named after Rom)^^

Cyrilic alphabet was created in Bulgaria 9 century.

[@MrNixtt]

And derived from Greek

[@theRAV4000]

25:35 this is cyrillic alphabet that is used by some slavic languages. Russia uses it but it was actually invented in Bulgaria. It is just an alphabet just like latin alphabet, the languages are different

[@CVery45]

Not in Bulgaria in Greece. And Slavic languages not different, these languages from one root, That’s why there are wars between the Slavs, because people like you are looking for difference, not the similarities. The Slavs need to learn cohesion from the Turkic-speaking and Finno-Ugric peoples, and even the Germans have more cohesion than the Slavs because of people like you who divide. Although you are Ukrainian, judging by your comment, you can’t expect anything else from Ukrainians

I'm portuguese and I can understand everything in Spanish and Galician cause it's very similar, it even has the same words but with different accent. I also can understand Italian cause it's also similar, but not as much as Spanish and Galician. French is also understandable to us, but we have to pay much attention. And it's easy for us to learn. Latin languages are all very similar.

At the Hungarian part those wasn’t shells she was holding. The Danube had a record low level and an old sunken ship was found in the river bed. She was holding coins form that ship.

[@domiiinik4320]

Romansh is one of the languages used in Switzerland (the rest are German, French and Italian) but very few people can actually speak it Basque is very interesting language, because it's not similar to any other language in the world, it's completely unique and it's spoken only in Basque Country (in parts of Spain and France) You are right that Luxembourgish sounds kinda German, because it's basically a mix between German and French + some other words here and there Faroese is spoken on Faroe Islands that belong to Denmark and it's one of the 2 languages (the other one is Icelandic) that is the closest to the language of Vikings (despite Vikings coming mostly from Denmark and Norway, modern Norwegian and Danish are really different languages compared to what Vikings were using) Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian are basically one language but don't say that to them, they will get angry XD And these "russian letters" are not even Russian, it's called cyrillic alphabet and it originated in Bulgaria, it's also used by Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, North Macedonia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan (some of these countries also use latin alphabet like most of the western world) Maltese is mostly a mix of English and Italian with couple other words (main languages on Malta are Maltese, English and Italian)

Actually Maltese is more simmilar to arabic than italian or english, it is even considered a dialect of arabic

To bad we only saw 47 languages out of 100+ in Europe, the EU itself recognizes 64 different languages within the EU borders and then there are tons of different languages in Europe outside of the EU.

[@tomeyboo]

Europe only has like 200 spoken languages which is not a lot compared to Papua New Guinea for example. They alone have like 850 languages.

[@inPetza]

the Romanian one wasn't really speaking fast, really moderate speed.

[@swedishmetalbear]

These are just the main regional languages. There are also minority languages in most European countries too.. Sweden for example.. Not just Swedish.. Also Elfdalian, Gutnish, Miänkieli, Sámi, Romanes... Finland not just Finnish, Finland-Swedish, Karelian, Romani. Estonia, Not just Estonian, Ingrian, Estonian-Swedish (Almost died out), Ukraine, Ukrainian Russian, Crimean Tartar, Ukrainian-Swedish(About 10 living speakers left), Ruthenian. Etc.etc.

[@nurrnena7798]

I'd love to find some examples of Estonian-Swedish. When Estonian Swedes visited Stockholm during their cargo trips, Swedes always thought that their language was like ancient Swedish. But I don't think Estonian-Swedish is alive anymore. Even when they were still in Estonia, their language was already dying out.

[@diegoyuiop]

The way Italian news presenter talk is always funny

[@senor-achopijo3841]

Not surprised you've never heard of Romansh, tbh. I didn't know it existed until I went to Uni. It's an official language of Switzerland, though, alongside German, French and Italian.

[@Mamaki1987]

Yes, russian, belarussian, ukrainian, serbian, makedonian and bulgarian use the same alphabet. Since they are slavic languages they are related. Just like German, English, Swedish, Dutch and Norwegin and probably some other languages as well. Or all the romance languages. Finnish and Hungarian are in a league of its one.

[@senor-achopijo3841]

5:45 You're absolutely on point! Galician is closely related to both Spanish and Portuguese. You can think of it as a middle point between the two.

It's like portuguese spoken by a spaniard 😅

[@user-nq6hy2tm2z]

Yes but i think it’s closer to spanish

[@Mixolixplosion]

​@@user-nq6hy2tm2z​ Closer to Portuguese. They used to be one language (Galician-Portuguese) and then they parted ways. Phonetically, they sound more similar to Spanish (well Galicia is a Spanish territory, so Spanish influence is expected).

It is cyrillic alphabet, not russian. We don't say english alphabet for every language that uses latin alphabet.

[@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781]

I am not Greek but i am confused, it's not the first video of American i see commenting on Greek alphabet and talking as if he never seen it before? Don't you learn Greek alphabet on math? I don't know if it was modern alphabet or not but i remember in school we were told to learn whole alphabet and used it extensively throughout whole school and university. The only letter i don't know how it looks like is capital Xi. Ofcourse i don't know pronounciations of those letters in modern Greek but reading it and making some sense of words that has spread to other languages is not that difficult. So i wonder, does US teach math without use of Greek alphabet? p.s. I am trying to learn Dutch (just began so don't know much) but wtf is this pronounciation of most people? I turn on TV, turn on subtitles and cannot find any words that fits those subtitles. I am not trying to say it is bad but it gives impression as if everybody is talking like they have food in their mouth and forgot to swallow it. Some people speak clearly but most just mumbling smth. And i always hear them adding "E" sound at the end of the words that are not supposed to have it (i am not talking about adjectives) as if they just fill some space between words with "E" sound (in most cases i hear adding "E" to verbs even though it is not plural).

[@SinzPet-]

[@richlisola1]

It kinda is! It’s like Tunisian Arabic when Italian words, French words, and a smattering of English

[@seanickle4781]

The Romanian speaking was very moderate, not fast at all in my opinion

[@abram6282]

To add to "I don't understand how you" comments, how can you say that greek alphabet is crazy and has to be hard to learn, bruh elementary school physics, you should be able to read at least half of the letters If for some reason not it is still very easy since it is an alphabet like Latin with only few characters nothing like Japanese or Chinese

Most of the Balkan languages (Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin) are practically the same language, renamed according to the newly created states...the differences are 2-3%. Macedonian is a mixture of Serbian and Bulgarian. Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian differ from each other by up to 10%. Czech and Slovak also, Romanian and Italian are similar. Danish and Norwegian too...

[@tic-tacdrin-drinn1505]

Romanian and Italian have some similar words but the grammars are different. Italian and Spanish or even Italian and Galician are more mutually intelligible

[@Pidalin]

@@tic-tacdrin-drinn1505 Similarly as Czech and Slovak, big part of vocabulary is similar, but grammar is slightly different, Slovak doesn't have vocative case etc.....and also their accent is very different. If you have no experiences with Slovak as a Czech, you can understand like 80%, words for animals and plants are mostly totaly different. I would say that we can understand each other better because of we are used to our regional accents which can be even more different than Czech and Slovak, so when you are a Czech, you probably know some Moravians or Silesians and when you understand them, you will probably understand even Slovaks. 🙂
