It’s the language. Indonesians have to practice the “R”s since childhood, hence those who cannot do it do often get teased at school.

[@badshooter85]

Most Indonesian can pronounce R easily, if you wish to hear us speak like a Russian or Arabian that would be the easiest for us. English is a popular language nowadays, but we must practice a lot because the R and TH sounds in English are the hardest part for some Indonesian. Carissa speaks English well tho, but as an Indonesian, her accent is familiar. I can guess where she came from exactly.

​ @The Vannarch Middle Chinese was 1500 yrs ago, mostly literary words, not for daily speech. Majority of the words are borrowed from Standard Chinese/Mandarin, in the last few centuries. As late as 1950's until HCM stopped it. Modern words such as "America," also taken from Chinese.

[@thevannmann]

@@wuhuhu1390 No, most of the more recent wave of words did not come from Chinese, but from Japanese. Most of the more modern academic words in Vietnamese derive from Wasei Kango (和製漢語) which was created by the Japanese, not Chinese. As for Middle Chinese, that lasted between the 4th and 12th centuries CE and Vietnam was under Chinese dominion for most of that period until the 10th century. This earlier period was when Vietnamese borrowed most of the earlier Chinese words. They weren't from Mandarin but from Middle Chinese. This is why Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-Japanese and Sino-Korean words sound the way they do. Know your history before trying to lecture me. Thanks. 👍

How to breakdown Southeast Asian languages 1. Indonesian language and Malay language (language that spoken in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore) are mutually intelligible and it comes from the same root/family of Austronesian language). That's why we could shit talk each other online hehehe 2. Tagalog (official language of the Philippines) is not mutually intelligible despite being the same Austronesian language. They couldn't understand Indonesian or Malay. 3. Thai language and Laotian language are kinda mutually intelligible too, it's basically different dialects, and it's the same root language Kra-Dai 4. Vietnamese and Khmer (Spoken by Cambodian) can not understand each other, even though their languages come from the same root Austro-Asiatic language. 5. Burmese language (Myanmar) is not related with any of south east asian languages, the language itself more related to Chinese or Tibet (Sino-Tibetan), but they are not undertand chinese. 6. Every south east asia countries have Chinese community and they are belong to different groups, mainly they speak Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew, and some of them fluent in Mandarin

[@tywinhan]

You may not know, the language family (austro asitic) originally came from the eastern region of India, the headwaters of the Mekong River in China. In Vietnamese there are elements of kradai and austro asitic, there was a debate on this issue in the 20th century. However, it is a fact that Vietnamese retains very few elements of the austro asitic language family, and the austro asitic language system. This language has many different branches, Vietnamese and Khmer belong to two completely different branches. The majority of Vietnamese people will perceive that Vietnamese is similar to Chinese. Especially like the hakka, hokkien, and it has nothing to do with the Chinese influence moving to Southeast Asia, it's just that the Vietnamese language evolved over time. And in Vietnamese, there is a large amount of vocabulary borrowed from China, like Japanese and Korean also borrow Chinese vocabulary, but in everyday conversation will rarely use Chinese borrowed vocabulary, it only used a lot when writing or poetry,... Perhaps if we hadn't separated from China in the past, we would now be called the Chinese to replace the Vietnamese, and if the French hadn't come to colonize Vietnam, now Vietnam will use Hanji

In Vietnam they only speak Vietnamese so this isnt a fair thing to compare.

I mean even in India we do have different names in our own languages for the said words here USA- just America or US (sometimes in Hindi we jokingly say "Amrika" ) Computer- "संगणक" aka Sanganak Cellphone- just phone or mobile. Never heard anyone say handphone here in my state atleast

Well, we were colonized by portuguese in 16th century but not so long. That's why we have some portuguese-inspired vocabs like sepatu (from zapato), mentega (from manteiga cmiiw), bendera (from bandeira), gereja (from igreja). Considering that spanish is very similar to portuguese

Cellphone is called Mobile Phone in India. Also, we use different terms like Smartphone, Feature Phone or Bar Phone, Flip Phone etc for different devices.

[@nikhilpranav8602]

An interesting video. I'd like to correct something though - I'm an Indian and I've never heard anyone calling it a handphone. Also, that flex about iPhones she mentioned, that's quite new to me too. I've never come across anyone flexing it like she mentioned unless it's for the giggles. But in practice, phone, mobile, mobile phone, cellphone are most commonly used irrespective of the brand. In fact, iPhones aren't that big a deal in India these days. But good job overall!

[@rwind4186]

You've been living a different life if no iPhone user flexed on you in India. However, I do agree on the handphone part personally never heard it either maybe that thing could be a local thing for her or she might have just confused it with Korean pretty sure Koreans call it handphone

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

I’m Vietnamese and wanna explain something Mỹ (America) is a Sino-Vietnamese word from “Mỹ Quốc” (Mei Guo in Mandarin) Ấn Độ (India) is actually a form of “Indoo” or “Indu” You definitely won’t hear any Anglo influence in the Vietnamese language unlike Thai, Korean, or Bahasa Indonesia because the language itself is super conservative and anti-Anglo in general. We tend to use Sino-Vietnamese and even some French in various aspects of life but not really English. That’s why we sound way too different from other Asian languages

[@lyhthegreat]

it's very similar to chinese whereby there's very few english-based words.

[@thevannmann]

That's with respect to country names. Vietnamese has borrowed a lot more English terms in the past few decades compared with other European languages, everything from tech to gaming, music and social media terminology. We say things like "chơi game" (to play games) to "top x" for top lists, , "online", "inbox", "rep" (reply) and so on.

[@MinhNguyen-ff6xf]

Well some of the comments from Indians here about that Indian girl are overly critical.... India is pretty diverse country and no one can speak or represent the whole of India. I've seen a Sikh shopkeeper in Bangalore who speaks Kannada very well and though he isnt perfect, I just love it. I am never critical. The same way a Sikh cannot represent a South Indian, a South Indian cannot represent a Sikh.... but both can represent whole of India equally well (or equally bad) on an international show, cant they? Why cant a South Indian girl speak for India?

[@Pary_adventures]

Bahasa Indonesia Modern Bahasa adopt many words from many countries when it's from English language you'll find them similar with our own alphabetical spelling methods 'C' on Computer, Community. The 'C' got replaced by 'K' since they're adopted words from English and many more... but for Original Language on Indonesia We got tons of Tribes here You could say that we have no Original language for the country but each Tribe has their own That's one of the reasons why our ancestors made the National Language, Bahasa So we would have one and any tribes can use the national language to communicate to each other CMIIW for my English or my Explanation 😄😄😄
