The quatre-vingt (four twenty) for 80 in french is older. it comes from celtic languages that used a base 20 system. In the middle ages, 40 was deux-vingt (two twenty) and 60 was trois-vingt (three twenty). There is an hospital in Paris called the quinze-vingt (fifteen-twenty) because it had 300 beds when it was created.

Is it because of lang d'oc vs lang d'oïl territory? I feel like if Occitan was the official language of France and not French, then the other Romance languages would not have seen French as foreign as it sounds.

It's funny with the numbers that they're trying to get out of doing math, but when all of us are saying numbers, we are doing simple math. Sixteen is six and ten. The French chose to stop at twenty and use multiplication, which is intriguing. 57 is fifty-seven (fifty and seven), cincuenta y siete (fifty and seven), and siebenundfünfzig (seven and fifty). My Algebra teacher always said there were 3 things you couldn't get away from: Death, taxes, and a math assignment. Even learning languages.

It's looks like for Spaniards and Italians French is not as easy to read than Spanish and Italian for French.

Credo che sia più facile per un francese capire l’italiano parlato che viceversa. Io capisco molto meno del 50% del francese parlato, quasi il 99% di quello scritto (ho letto un paio di libri in francese senza fatica, pur senza averlo mai studiato). Esattamente come in genere è più facile per un italiano capire lo spagnolo parlato che viceversa (e questa è una situazione che ho sperimentato infinite volte con amici spagnoli e latini). Diciamo anche che per un italiano capire lo spagnolo parlato è forse assai più facile che per un francese capire l’italiano parlato, almeno credo. Benché la lingua grammaticalmente più simile all’italiano sia il francese e non lo spagnolo, quest’ultimo ha dei suoni ed una cadenza quasi identica alla nostra. Potrebbe tranquillamente essere uno dei tanti dialetti regionali italiani, persino uno dei meno “strani”. Il francese per noi presenta l’ostacolo di una pronuncia molto diversa, oltre ad avere suoni e cadenza diversissimi. L’italiano risuona nella pancia, il francese nella cavità nasale

@@kalidali3174In ancient times and even today in some places we rolled the R like the rest of the Latin languages in this change comes from the Parisian dialect in the 17th what is called French is based on the Parisians and it has gradually been imposed on the rest of the French of the other region.

[@Redactionnel]

Bruh, bro is using a theory that isn't proven to counter argument a theory that wasn't proven either, the fact Germany took it from French is also contested and absolutely not proven. The only thing we can say is that the uvular R in French comes from the Parisian dialect, and it got popular, that's it. There is another theory that just France and Germany had their own evolutions of the uvular R independantly. No one knows. You can even even have this uvular R in Norway around Bergen because of Germans. And honestly, I am not sure why you say German is non-rhothic, yes it's non-rhotic, okay you don't pronounce the R in like Spieler, but you'll still use the R if it's at the beginning or after a consonant, so yeah? It's like saying Brits don't pronounce their R after a vowel, okay but there are still situations when they pronounce their R, so yep if you say reise, you'll still pronounce this R, so focus on situations where you pronounce the R. I can give you many other situations like fahren, or bruder, wow you have R sounds in German, how crazy, right? lol Saying that a language isn't harsh because it's non-rhotic, it makes absolutely no sense at all. It implies rhotic languages are harsh which again doesn't make sense because being rhotic or non-rhotic doesn't make you harsher or not. It just means a language that always pronounce their R or not, that's it LOL, Germans just drop their R after a vowel like Brits, that's it and keep it at the beginning of a word or after a consonant, but you just still have a uvular R like French, so yeah, your comment doesn't make any sense. Mostly because French and German literally has the same R in phonetics (at least in standard German, not talking about Swiss or Austrian German) so yes it's as "harsh" as French, sorry to tell you that, it's okay you got this, don't cry too much. It's this sound [ʁ] yep. And once again, stop saying brainwashed because "souding harsh" doesn't mean anything, it's purely subjective. So saying things like that is stupid when you try yourself to brainwash people to make French sounds harsher, none of them sound harsher, it just depends on stereotypes and what we associate with the language and taste.

Brazilian grammar and vocabulary has a lot of influence of other languages from indegenous and african people. But brazilian pronunciation is closer to the Portuguese spoken during the Age of Discovery, than European Portuguese. European Portuguese suffered more changes in pronunciation, mainly related to vowel reduction in unstressed sylables.

Belgian living in Brussels, here. In more than 30 years in Brussels, there is only one French guy I didn't knew immediately he was French. You hear the difference so strongly. Septante (70) and nonante (90) are not only understood in the North of France. Old people in Marseilles (South) use septante and nonante and don't understand why media use something else than what they learned at school. I hope one day we will use the huitante (80) in Belgium.

It's so difficult to juge from two people. I'm a french speaking belgian and I already don't speak exactly like the belgian in the video 😅 Depending on accents and some vocabulary words we can tell what region we're from 😅 Even if you live in another region or try to keep a neutral accent, sometimes the childhood accent comes back. Walloon also takes part in that. My mum's family comes from a certain place and I grew up in another one from birth. So from school and friends I picked the accent from the region I grew up and still live in but from my family and the waloon expressions they have, I picked up many stuff from the region they originate from. And after 34 years of not living there my mum still talks to me about her childhood places like "So that place, near this one, you see what I'm talking about ?" No mum, I went there twice when I was 5, I don't remeber 😅 I'm usually able to say if someone is from France, Belgium or Switzerland. Mostly France or Belgium. Also the french numbers can we confusing for me if I have to write it. Let's say 70. The french will sart to say "soixante..." and I'll start to write 6, then they'll end with "...dix" and I'll sigh as I scribble what I just wrote and start again 😂 This is an interesting experience, I don't travel and I'm rarely in touch with other roman languages in general, even through movies or other type of media so it was fun to see 🙂

En Europe, l'origine du système vicésimal (20) est mal connue. Certains pensent qu'il a une origine pré-indo-européenne, mais il se serait surtout répandu au Moyen Âge. Puis il se mélangea avec l'ancien français, où on trouvait ainsi les formes vingt et dix (30), deux vingt (40), deux vingt et dix (50), trois vingt (60), etc. Ce système, était aussi utilisé par les Celtes et par les Normands et l’un ou l’autre de ces peuples l’introduisit en Gaule.

As a Polish speaker who was raised in America, I can somewhat relate to the number thing. In Poland they don't say years like "Fourteen ninety two", they actually say the whole number, "Year One thousand four-hundred and ninety-two" or " One thousand-four hundredth-ninety-second year". I didn't know that was a thing, and when I was doing a tour or a fort, I had a Polish guide and she asked me if I knew what year the fort was built, and I told her the year the way we'd say it in English and she said I was wrong, and said the whole number and I was like, that's literally what I said😂I did the same thing when I filmed a video for a Polish TV channel. They must've been so confused😂

In French massa/masse means dough and mass for culinaries activities and recipes, the same way for the terms masa/mase both means the same thing of massa and masse, theses 4 terms in french are connected with Romansh, Friulian, Arpitan, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese words sinonyms. Paste in french means necklace, it's not necessarily related to gastronomy. Pasta in French means in pratice Savoie-style potato pasta, boudins, spaetzels, pâtes fraiches and ravioles and other typical types of mass.

French numbers are a secular legacy from celtic and proto-celtics languages. in those days, many people counted in vicesimal rather than decimal systems (base 20 vs. base 10). As the language evolved, some numbers changed to base 10 and others remained in base 20. This is true in many countries too, as in English, eleven and twelve remained. We've also kept the tens digits, such as “vingt” (20), "soixante-dix" (70 & literaly 60+10), "quatre-vingt" ( 4x20) and "quatre-vingt dix" ( 4x20+10). Some French-speaking countries have followed their own language evolution and eliminated this archaism.

French take their numbers above 70 up to 90 from Gaulish (sixty and ten, four twenty, four twenty and ten) and the Swiss and the Belgians from Latin (septante, huitante, nonante, with 80 having the variant octante that only one of them uses but I don't remember which one).
