The Danish sentence was incredibly hard to distinguish from Norwegian as it's just ONE letter that separates the two languages in this example - hårvækst in Danish vs. hårvekst in Norwegian...

[@Aoderic]

As a Dane is was of course quite easy to recognise, but he translator made a tiny mistake in the syntax: Instead of: Elefanter fødes med en ofte rødlig sparsom hårvækst Although it is permissible, it becomes ambiguous and should be avoided. It should've been: Elefanter fødes med en sparsom ofte rødlig hårvækst I'm pretty sure this is what they meant Or possibly: Elefanter fødes med en rødlig ofte sparsom hårvækst it could also be this one , but it makes less sense. Or even: Elefanter fødes med en ofte sparsom (ofte) rødlig hårvækst Because if both are often, sparsom should be before rødlig. All three sentences have slightly different meanings, but it is impossible to tell which one is correct from the first sentence. The later Norwegian sentence is easily recognisable from Danish, by the word endings: Norwegian: Hannene er betydelig større enn hunnene Danish: Hannerne er betydeligt større end hunnerne You probably know all this if you are Norwegian, but then maybe someone else will find it interesting.

[@Mohkarish]

Lack of the silent -d in Norwegian, as well as the missing plural 'r's, are the giveaway that the quizz-maker wanted (in addition to the different spelling of vækst), I think - the sentence would've been "Hannerne er betydelig større end hunnerne". Bit brutal for non-native speakers though.

[@educacionespecialchannel3756]

Bro I am Norwegian and I didnt see that was Danish

[@eccotom1]

There's a few extra hints in the Norwegian sentence. In the Danish plural, endings are "-rne", as opposed to the Norwegian "-ne", so "hannene" should be "hannerne" (in Danish). Following that, in Danish, adjectives appearing before adjectives or adverbs are conjugated by degree to have a "-t" ending which is not the case in Norwegian (to my knowledge). So "betydelig" (significant) is "betydeligt" in Danish because of the following "større" (bigger). Last but not least, "enn" is spelled "end" in Danish. The "hårvækst" one completely threw me off though because I didn't notice, and I almost assumed the Swedish one (which is my mother tongue lol) was the Norwegian one.

I recognized the way it sounded from having listened to a few old folktales in it, from throughout middle and high school. A few of my English classes I took, we started out learning the roots, all the way back by taking a look at Old English, learning some words, making note of the few words that continue to be the same or have had very minor changes, and listen to it being spoken. The spoken bit is what my brain remembered most, but I've always been inclined to remembering things from song or story. It's how I first started to learn Irish as a child, through folk music and some stories in Irish. Great video! Very interesting to see what the ones I didn't know we're.

Dane here. The reason why you think we've gotten rid of å/Å is because we are trying to make our city names more global and easy to write for non-danes. Aarhus is just a "globalised" version of Århus, and we use both (leaning a bit more towards Aa, since the official spelling of Aarhus was changed in 2011).

Old english is a tricky one unless you've studied it because you don't expect the thorn to show up there! The anglo-saxons used it basically constantly though, it's one of the most common letters I think.

[@ashlaskash]

In Abkhaz the schwa letter is just used to labialize the preceding consonant, which I think is a rather odd use of that letter. That funky-looking Ҧ is just a /pʰ/ sound. The uniquely Abkhaz letter Ҧ was actually relatively recently removed from Abkhaz in favor of the more plain letter Ԥ. The switch from Ҧ to Ԥ was a gradual one starting after the fall of the USSR, with Unicode adding Ԥ in 2008, though to this day Ҧ is occasionally used. Wikipedia only stopped spelling Abkhazia's endonym as "Аҧсны" last year. In Chechen the letter "Ӏ" (the "palochka", usually written as "1" because keyboards tend to lack it) usually makes the preceding consonant into an ejective - but sometimes it serves other functions, so the digraph "г1" makes a /ɣ/ sound, for instance. You find that digraph in words like Г1алг1айчоь (оь = /yø/ diphthong). Г1алг1айчоь is the Chechen name for their little brother to the west, Ingushetia, who speak a very similar language - some even call Ingush and Chechen dialects of a shared Vainakh language. However, the palochka is a widespread letter across tons of Caucasian languages, so the true telltale sign you're looking at Chechen is if you see vowels followed by ь soft signs. These correspond to what in Latin would be spelled with an umlaut diacritic: уь -> ü, аь -> ä, оь -> ö. I find the Caucasian languages fascinating and would totally recommend you look into them yourself. It's a region unlike any other for languages.

[@GGTourist]

Thank you so much for the input, very interesting! I've done a fair bit of research into Chechen since recording the video so I knew about the palochka, but the soft signed vowels are news to me.

8:49 The last but one should be Old English. It had þ that was later replaced with y, and then th (ye olde). It can't be Icelandic cuz Icelandic doesn't have ā, ō or similar. The last one is probably Kurdish. The script looks Turkish (the circumflex used before 1990s and ş point at Turkish) but the language isn't. So, Kurdish. It's half way through the video. I wonder what you do in the second half. Guessing these two?.. 9:55 Adughee? Caucasian for sure. 10:45 Mongolian 11:22 Tajik. 12:01 Finno-Ugric for sure. Komi? Sounds much like Udmurt, a close relative. 13:41 Abkhaz. There's that letter they use on wine labels: П with a hook: Ап)сны - it's an Abkhazian wine brand.

I found it interesting how he struggled more with Cyrillic the most .
