ASMR The 8 Biggest Language Families in the World (soft spoken, map tracing, educational ASMR)

[@petitanglais]

As a fellow linguist (and passionate cartographer), I have really enjoyed the thematic content of your videos. Organised, good flow, well-researched and professionally done. Most AMSR videos I have come across tend to consist of unscripted ramblings and poor editing, which makes the quality of yours stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, despite English not being your first language, you speak more clearly, accurately and eruditely than the majority of ASMR clips by native speakers. Thank you for your efforts, I hope this has been as much of a pleasure for you to make as it has for me to watch :)

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey Zoltan, thanks so much, I'm very happy that you enjoy my style of ASMR! That's really lovely feedback. And yeah, it's true, there's a lot of variety in content and production, but I always try to see it as a good sign. It means there's an active community with few barrieres for anyone wishing to participate, people will encourage each other to become better at what they're doing, and it means there's a greater chance someone will make exactly what I'm looking for (even if searching might take a while haha). And yes, it's a pleasure to make and share these videos with the extremely kind and generous feedback I'm getting! 💖

@@MelangeASMR I really love your videos! I also want to thank you for flipping the negative implications of the original comment into positive ones. I hate seeing people disparage other people creating ASMR videos simply because someone else’s style doesn’t suit them. There is something for everyone, no need to say one is better than another or put others down for their style in order to compliment someone else. You all meet someone’s needs!

[@i.1213]

I approve every word of this comment. 👏🏻

[@Bigkrisp_Man]

I love when the camera moves slightly, really adds to the ASMR. Also your voice, movements and aesthetic is so soothing!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! 🥰

[@katieherger4928]

I love your videos. Every second is joy, but I do especially love your hand movements and when you brush the pages with your hands. It not only creates a great sound, but I feel like your gentle way of doing it demonstrates your love and respect for the books/maps and their fascinating content. Thanks again for all you do.

[@MelangeASMR]

Katie, you are such a sweetheart, thank you!!!💖💖💖

[@jaidensummer9050]

You are the ONLY one that has such informative and interesting videos of the world's people and languages, I truly love them all and your voice is so soothing and tingly ☺️. Thank you again for your wonderful videos.

[@MelangeASMR]

Aw thank you so much for the kind words, that makes me very happy 💖

[@TheCrazykennedy4]

I love how relaxing and informative your videos are! As an American, a good deal of the information you presented was new to me. Thank you for the great videos and for teaching me new things as I relax. 😃

[@patricialarsen3341]

I just found your channel and I’m on a binge! I love your style and they’re so interesting and relaxing

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Patricia, that makes me very happy! I hope you're feeling extra relaxed now 😌

[@serinabarbadensis]

i never get headaches but for some reason i have had one for almost 12 hours now & i would say 30 seconds into this video , it is subsiding . so i thank u 💕✨

[@MelangeASMR]

Hope you're feeling better! 💜

[@evigskog]

I had to come back to the comments to say that I’ve probably fallen asleep to this at least 6 different nights now! I don’t usually full on fall asleep from ASMR, it’s rare! So thank you again for this treat 💕🌈

[@MelangeASMR]

That is like the best possible thing you could say about my videos haha, thank you! I hope you slept really well 💕

[@michaelb8067]

Have had some tingle immunity for a while your videos have not only educated but also relaxed and allowed me to tingle thank you

[@MelangeASMR]

That's really great, I'm happy to hear that, Michael!

[@beanbunn4029]

Another very nice video. Love books/maps and knowledge. Melange you have a great asmr voice.

[@MelangeASMR]

Love to hear this, thank you!

I have a degree in medieval literature and have lived in London and I learned so ouch from this video!!! I did not want it to end. More please!!!!!!!!!!

[@z.daniel6837]

As an Austronesian/Malay Race I would like to say thank you for cover up our history even it just a little ❤️❤️

[@MelangeASMR]

💖💖 My pleasure! I don't know very much about that area of the world, sadly, so it was a really fascinating read!

[@mgdoodlestudio]

Educational and relaxing - I'm really enjoying your channel!

Thank you, Michelle! 😊

New personal favourite video, great job.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Garreth!

[@parryyotter]

For those who do not know: The reason we don’t say Hamito languages is because it is a Biblical-based term, as is Semitic (and in an effort to not center the Bible in non-religious things and be more inclusive of the entire world, academics use BCE/CE instead of BC/AD, and other terms that aren’t rooted in Biblical theology), but also it is rooted in the Curse of Ham-the Christian theology used as justification for treating Africans as lesser humans who could and should be enslaved. In short, an excuse for racism. So it’s not a term used anymore. :) Afroasiatic is the proper term.

[@还复来]

看了你的视频我还学到了一个有关地图的知识，这个地图看上去和我之前看到的地图看上去有点不一样，看上去欧洲好像很小，中国印度变的很大，在我的印象中我一直认为英国和日本的面积一样大，在这份地图上日本的面积比英国大很多，我去查询了才知道，地图的绘制方法有很多，用投射绘制地图由于地球是球体而非圆柱体，变成平面高纬度地区会被拉伸，所以地图上高纬度地区看起来会很大，而您手里的这份地图是按照实际面积大小绘制的。

[@MelangeASMR]

Yes, that's a very good observation and I think something really important to be aware of. On a lot of maps, Greenland looks bigger than all of Africa and that's really not the case in reality.

[@Emma-iq3vf]

Hey, if you're looking for suggestions I would love to see a video on Inuktitut and other North Americas Indigenous languages. It's fascinating (and real confusing for someone who's not skilled with languages) :)

[@MelangeASMR]

I'm always open to suggestions, thank you! And yes, Native American languages is definitely something that's going to happen, I just have some reading to do :)

[@krimzonvillain]

your videos are PERFECT! I only have one criticism, that they're just way too interesting to fall asleep to 😂

[@MelangeASMR]

Noooo pick the boring ones!!

[@abandy964]

I love these videos so much but I cannot watch them to fall asleep because they get too interesting

[@WontonTV]

Lovely video, relaxing and educational. Are you a linguist of some kind? Really enjoy all your language-related videos.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! Not a linguist per se, it's more of a fascination that's come with trying to learn new languages.

[@md6498]

Germanic languages are so beautiful. I would love to learn them all. I could learn only german up to present. But i will learn dutch and swedish, too.

[@MelangeASMR]

What do you mean "only German"? It is such a difficult language to learn! But if you switch to Dutch or Swedish after that, you'll definitely have an advantage.

[@md6498]

@@MelangeASMR bisher habe ich nur Deutsch gelernt. Aber von nun an lerne ich auch andere Sprachen

Hi Amanda, thank you for subscribing and for your lovely comment 🧡 I love those two creators, so that's very high praise!! 😨

[@xXxlLEGENDZlxXx]

French Whisperer and Let's Find Out, along with ASMRctica, were my top 3 for so long, but Melange has fired herself straight to no. 1!

[@evigskog]

This is the exact style and topic that I have been waiting forrrr 💕💕💕 I love language facts!

[@MelangeASMR]

Yayyyyy! 💖

[@Brando56894]

Translating between English (native) and German (learned in HS and College) always confused me since the sentence structure is a lot different, even after years of learning it.

[@MelangeASMR]

Yeah, I actually find it easier to translate between English and French which you'd think should be further apart linguistically.

[@robertwhite9621]

Lovely video, very interesting :)

[@MelangeASMR]

Robert it's always a pleasure to hear from you, thank you!

[@wilbo422]

You must have a great home library because the books you use for your videos are always interesting. Thanks for another great video!

[@MelangeASMR]

By now my friends know what kind of books to get me haha 🙏 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them.

[@TheGravityRainbows]

You find the best books! Loved everything about this video, maps especially!

[@MelangeASMR]

Right, this book is just perfect for it! It was a gift from a friend who appears to know me extremly well haha. Thank you so much 🌻

It's a nice combo, no?

[@malomitreba]

I love your books, i wish our local bookstore had them! :(

[@MelangeASMR]

I think this one sadly hasn't been translated into English (half the book is German-language puns,so somewhat understandable haha), but most of the books I use, I get second hand. It's worth digging around a bit! I'm sure you'll be able to find many beautiful ones :)

And Hebrew? From where?

[@robi2244]

Fun fact aramaic is actually still spoken! Its spoken by assyrians all over Mesopotamia!

[@MelangeASMR]

Whaaat, I had no idea! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@awsome182]

I had a class mate from Iraq who actually spoke Aramaic, because her family originally was Assyrian and she's a Christian so it was important to her family and ancestors to spoke the language of Jesus.

[@irem9802]

Just wonderful…Love form turkey❤

[@aycamavis4357]

I love it

[@Dharma_Bum]

Poor New Zealand…. Always being left off maps 😂. And no Pacific Islands? And what about Pama-Nyungan, the Australian First Nations language group? I can find nothing about its origins other than it began spreading rapidly around 5000 years ago. No idea what it is related to

[@MelangeASMR]

Hah yeah, it's a bit of a specific map. The language families are listed by number of speakers, not by number of included languages, so that's why they didn't include all parts of the world.

[@rsvihla]

Have you ever made a video without nail polish?

[@MelangeASMR]

I haven't. I feel like my nails don't look great because I use so much nail polish 😅
