Indeed Egypt is on the northern coast. Hey Lingualizer, research your questions!

[@B2BWide]

@@ionman6237 Egypt has some 500 km shoreline on the north and almost 1200 km on the east (I am typing it by heart) so it is more like Eastern. But my whole country would fit in that 500 km, so I agree that Egypt should've been accepted.

That Indian girl answered correctly. In Kazakstan we use Cyrillic alphabet as a basis. Since next year we are planning to change it on Latin alphabet but perhaps it will be later.

[@timurriumshin5814]

@@ultrahevybeat actually everything is still in cyrillic. I mean literally everything, even docs from government. Official change to latin is just to let us know, that the government finally agreed on the way the alphabet will look like (because there are a lot of sound that don't fit into latin alphabet, same as turkish) and will start the transition. Yes, officially it's latin, but 99,9% of the country is cyrillic.

[@PepijnLinden]

I love that the guy at the beginning tried with some Latin. There are Latin speakers out there! It may be called a dead language, but that only means there aren't any countries that speak the language natively. It's definitely still possible to converse in Latin.

[@Auxblanchesmains]

Recte!!!

[@Itza-Me]

But it's quite useless

[@PepijnLinden]

​@@Itza-Me Why do you think it's useless? Perhaps it's not as useful when you're going to the grocery store, but you could find fellow Latin enjoyers and experience the language and culture in a different way. I could also argue that improving your mastery in speaking the language helps out in other areas where Latin is useful. Like having a deeper understanding of ancient texts or languages that are descended from Latin. That all said, there are many things we do for the simple sake of 'entertainment' so there's that.

[@Itza-Me]

@@PepijnLinden I'd rather learn a language I could actually use to communicate with people

[@PepijnLinden]

@@Itza-Me Ah, but you *can* actually use it to communicate with people. What I think you mean to say is that you'd rather learn a language that is more widely spoken and of more use to you personally when doing everyday things. That doesn't make it useless, but perhaps not as useful to you.

@@Nothing_to_write0 Maybe in your langage, but its name is Mexico. Hernan Cortes has built a city on the Aztec ruins of Tenochtitlan and he's called it Mexico. The name "Ciudad de México" represents a federal entity, not the city. It's been wrongly translated in Mexico City by the USA in 1824, after a Mexico gouvernement brawl. The same goes for Washington. Washington D.C. represents its federal status, but the city itself is called Washington.

[@SB-py6dg]

Dear Wouter, it is great that you love to learn all these languages and you do have talent, but whenever you say that you are „critical“ of yourself, I have to cringe. At one point in the video you claim to speak 29 languages, when 90% of the languages you claim to speak are nowhere near good enough to be considered B1 level. This is not meant to be offensive towards you, it is a rather supposed to serve as criticism. There are people who dedicate years upon years in order to properly learn a language. They learn the culture, the idioms, etc… Just being able to say a few phrases (and even say them incorrectly as you did in Turkish) without really interacting with what the other person asks/says doesn’t count as „speaking“ a language. It is just a way to show off.

[@boarbot7829]

Egypt is on the northern coast of Africa- it’s on both coasts, but nobody would ever describe Egypt as being in east Africa- they would say it’s in North Africa.
