BLACKFOOT LANGUAGE, PEOPLE, & CULTURE

[@SirBolsón]

Glad to see that the Blackfoot are still going despite all the conflict and colonialism they've gone through! May their people live on! 🫂🙏🏼

[@scarymonster5541]

At first they need to leave christianity

[@definzgoody5448]

They are the example of some region that doesnt reach their independence because of colonialism

Native American languages are so interesting. It's a shame they're not more widely spoken.

[@francescocaiaffa5389]

Youre right.....

[@goulven05]

Yeah it’s unfortunate, this language sounds amazing

[@wintherr3527]

They are (all) so difficult to learn that even natives may think it's a waste of time and effort, so that better improve their English skills.

[@egs3470]

@@wintherr3527 This is not the reason at all. These languages were beaten out of Native Americans by nuns, priests, and teachers for generations. Tribes are now working to reclaim and improve in their traditional languages

[@Juno-gi6fj]

Again, a beautiful writing system for a beautiful language. I hope all the best for their language preservation efforts.

I'm happy you made a video on the Blackfoot language. I'm African American, European, and a bit of Native American through my mom's side. The African American side sadly lost our native ways, which saddens me, but there are some Native American oral stories of old still passed down. I descend from two Native peoples: the Blackfoot and Cherokee.

[@WedsleyFelix]

Finally! I waited for so long for it to be back.

[@lm7338]

American languages are always so intriguing, so unfamiliar to what one is used to hear

[@Yubin_Lee_Doramelin]

Very complicated grammar, indeed, but it's worthwhile to proceed studies about the Native American's languages, which are full of unidentified gem.

[@Davlavi]

Great deep dive.😄

[@Ainigmos13]

Please video about Proto-Algonquian language: the ancestor of Blackfoot.

[@kumarvikramaditya9636]

Lily Gladstone is Blackfoot btw.

[@fodonogue3]

Fun fact… Siksikáí’powahsin is the only language (that I’m aware of) in which horses are referred to as parts of the family, with a specific verb created to reference them as a belonging as a mount. There’s the general word for it, Elk-Dog (ponokaomitaa), and then the relational word(s) for it, i.e., nota’s (my horse) or kota’s (your horse)… the verb “ota’si” means to own a horse.

[@fodonogue3]

Also, the syllabary seen in this video and in some resources is not really used much and there are actually efforts from Blackfoot speakers themselves to implement a newer, more refined syllabary of 80 characters that better fits the language.

[@well_weathered]

🧡They were also in the Great Lake Region🪶 Women were equally regarded before horses and weapons were introduced.

[@sandeegrey5977]

And I guess that makes them special?

[@well_weathered]

@@sandeegrey5977 What's wrong with what I said that makes you say that?

[@Raptorozaur]

As Ukrainian, I understood 0% of this beautiful language❤

[@martabachynsky8545]

Same with me. 🇺🇦

[@kzm-cb5mr]

Something I noticed with speakers of North American languages, they're very slow when speaking. Is that the norm?

[@penguinlim]

it could be that for a lot of native american languages, the majority of speakers are non-native, and are less fluent. or it could just be the way of speaking, i'm only theorizing

[@freemymansblitz7717]

[@Peter-wd6dg]

I thought this was supposed to be a April fools joke for a moment lol.

[@KingsleyAmuzu]

Is this related to Greenlandic?

[@brian0902]

No, Blackfoot is related to languages like Ojibwe, also known as Chippewa or Ojibwa. Additionally, Cree is another language in this family called Algonquian along with many other languages. As for Greenlandic, it's part of the Eskaleut/Eskimo-Aleut/Inuit-Yupik-Unangan language family. It's spoken by the most northern natives, the Inuit peoples. Their language family spans from Greenland to Russia. There are still languages in the Old World related to this native language family. In the sub-branch of Inuit languages spoken in Chukotka, you'll find languages such as Siberian Yupik and Sirenik Yupik. In the Aleut sub-branch, languages are spoken on the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula.

[@arnetisco]

why does it sound like finnish

[@lm7338]

Is it really that close? (Swede that is somewhat used to hear Finnish) Could be they both are connected through Siberia from ancient times and retained sounds, or its coincidental.

[@unknownmf2599]

@@lm7338 closely related to uralic paleo siberians and turkic/mongolic groups

I doubt anybody watching this vid understand one word... including even those who share some ancestry with the Blackfoot.

[@christophertadeo6120]

Blackfoot was indeed a language... Until the white men came😀.. It eventually came to be known as, whitefoot😀.. I made it up silly😀

[@francescocaiaffa5389]

We can catch similarities between the sound of this languages and the japanese one...and the alphabet is similar to ancient turkic one...maybe this people has a far and common origin with ancient altaic people and paleosiberian people....

[@leonardoschiavelli6478]

Another lost Uralic language found! 😱
