[@alpardal]

To my ears, Greek sounds a bit like Italian - I think it has a bit of that characteristic rhythm

[@ilovekittens129]

I also thought it was Italian

[@klimtkahlo]

@@alpardal most people think it is Spain Spanish because of the way how they pronounce the s and the fast rhythm and musicality of the language. Same with Portuguese. How Portuguese pronounce the S is the same as polish people pronounce it and the rhythm sounds Russian. And these are only the languages we most commonly hear. Imagine how many more languages there are. I heard Quechua from South America and I could swear they were speaking Finnish or Swedish! 🤯

[@alpardal]

@@klimtkahlo I'm a native Portuguese speaker and so it's pretty easy for me to understand Spanish since they are really close languages - that probably makes it harder for me to "hear" Greek as Spanish. Italian is also pretty similar and understandable to a certain extent, so that's why it's sort of easy for me to recognize Greek: it sounds a bit like Italian, but I can't understand anything at all, so it's probably Greek 🤣

[@DE-iv8if]

If You _really_ heard Greek and Spanish before that little Experiment, both Languages would _not_ sound alike, just if You maybe do not really know both Languages and really only know English than both Languages could sound alike to You. To me Spanish sounds like Spanish and Greek sounds like Greek. I can not speak both of these Languages but I heard them before.. And both Languages sound even _very different_ to me.

das Video*

[@eoseguinte7529]

That episode was really cool. Interesting to see that almost everyone identified Portuguese first as a Slavic language, then suggested it to be a romantic language. That's because the girl is Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal sounds Slavic, unlike the Portuguese we speak here in Brazil which sounds completely romantic. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@brunopimenta8204]

Well, we Portuguese speak with closed vowels and you Brazilians speak with open vowels, that's the only major difference.

[@holger_p]

It's more the many "sch" sounds, that makes it sound slavic. The slavic write cz, or or cs or like in Janusz, the portuguese write their português without any indications, the s is not an s. From reading it, you got no idea how to speak it (if you had no course). .. there is not much difference from Portugal to Brazil cause there is not much contact to either language.

[@eoseguinte7529]

@@brunopimenta8204 It's not that simple, Portuguese from Portugal is more complicated to understand, and the reason don't resume itself only in open and close vowels. Sometimes we have to listen 2 or 3 times to understand what you guys said and we both speak the same language, imagine who doesn't speak. You people and 90% of other lusophone countries sound more Slavic and hard to understand while we sound more romantic and easy to understand.

[@eoseguinte7529]

@@holger_p That's one of the reason in fact, but there's more reasons to Portuguese from Portugal sound slavic. And when it's about the way you write, Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese really look like. But spoken, they considerably different.

It’s true mandarin is difficult in reading and writing, especially writing (even for native speakers), but it’s much easier in speaking and listening. So for mandarin learners I recommend starting with only listening and speaking. With the help of Pinyin you will find it’s not much of a difficult language at all. Good to see my native tongue being recognized.

@@tFighterPilot I don't think that Vietnamese latin is big advantage, latin alphabet is not meant for such language, it looks crazy.

Regions share linguistic features, include those that go beyond the phonetics. On the other hand, Chinese langauges do not sound anything like Korean or Japanese. Not to blame, is just curious for me.

[@ominusomega7803]

So, I'm not sure about Korean but Japanese and Mandarin do have quite the amount of similarities that stemmed from centuries of interaction between the 2 regions. For example, the most common similarity is the use of Chinese characters in Japanese in the form of Kanji as well as its Chinese pronunciation (Korean used to have something similar called Hanja iirc). (For example, this word 電話 meaning phone (lit. electric talk) in japanese is pronounced "denwa" while the same word in mandarin is pronounced "dianhua". This is an example of the Onyomi reading of Japanese kanji which is the transliteration of the Chinese pronunciation.). Another similarity is the use of a particle (a character or symbol that alone do not have meaning unless used in a sentence) to denote the possessive, in English it would be " 's " and in German it would be the genitive case etc, in the case of Japanese it uses the particle "の" (read as "no") and in Mandarin, the character ”的“ (read as "de") is used. Furthermore, Old Japanese and Old Chinese seem to also have somewhat similar pronunciation rules (tho I'm not so sure about this). However, despite these similarities, these languages are not related and only share similarities due to interaction (which is also why Japanese seem so different, since they had a good few centuries of isolation) and hence, Japanese is considered a linguistic isolate (a language with no other related languages or is a part of any established language families). (though, there was a time that people considered Korean and Japanese to be related but iirc this is not an accepted theory anymore)

@@ominusomega7803 No. Just because a horse can be brown and a lokomotive can be painted brown doesn't mean they are similar.

[@ominusomega7803]

@@amjan I am only pointing out the similarities, thats all. By your analogy, a brown horse and a brown locomotive are both brown and are both able to be used as a mode of transport. In these regards, they are similar. I am not saying, they are related or they are similar languages, but simply they have quite some similarities. That is all.

I'm Portuguese and, just in case you find this information interesting, I only didn't recognize Vietnamese and Turkish out of all those audio clips. Also, people are constantly guessing Russian or other Slavic languages when listening to Portuguese because of the similar sonority with some aspects of our language. There's a whole video by Langfocus explaining why this is. Romanian is also a Romance language, so maybe that's why it was also a guess when listening to Portuguese.

[@aliceche714]

Thank you, I def will see the video about Portuguese and Russian

[@pablovinicius6401]

Except Brazilian Portuguese, that doesn't sound at all as russian

[@cen80]

I think they thought Romanian because it's also a Roman language but with slavic Influences.As I was a teenager my sister sad to me,that she saw a black woman speaking Russian and she found it very strange.I said her,that she was surely no Russian but Brasilian.I learned Spanish at school and knew,that Portuguese sounds softer and for untrained ears like a kind of Slavic.

[@user-ek6xj1ug9e]

As Russian speaking myself it really surprises me cuz these two languages doesn't seem sound similar at all for me. I couldn't guess Portuguese btw.

I totally understand why people from countries like Germany, who are exposed to Turkish very often, don’t recognize the Turkish spoken in Turkey. Those of us who live outside Turkey speak very different. It’s (mostly) the same words that are spoken, but with different pronunciations that have been affected by the dialects of the cities we migrated from in Turkey + the languages of the countries we now reside in - urghh, Turkish with a German accent sounds like a pain in the ***, sorry alamanci guys (I’m from Denmark, imo we sound a little better and generally have a better vocabulary). Most of us probably speak with an Anatolian accent, which can sound like Arabic or Persian to the foreign ear. Very different to the high Turkish which you heard the young Turks speak in this video. People make fun of our pronunciation when we’re in Turkey🥲

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah. My first guess was turkish, but then it didn't sound like we hear it hear, so I had my doubts.

[@zincyberia]

Turkish sounds nothing like Arabic or Persian lmao

[@Emulator833]

@@zincyberia A kurd speaking Turkish or Southeastern Turks speaking Turkish is kinda similar to Persian but Turkish without accent does not sound anything like Arabic or Persian. Accents can change how a language sounds a lot.

[@sue28493jd]

Exactly. In Turkey we are making fun of their ( the Turkish people's who were born in Germany or live there) way of speaking Turkish.There is a big difference between the "real" Turkish and theirs.And not just the way of speaking but the way of thinking,-perspective- is also much more different..That's why people should not think that Turkish people in Germany represent the real Turkish people in Turkey.They should improve themselves more, most of them do not represent us very well :)

Saying Spanish and Russian for Portuguese isn't nonsense. It's actually how many of us in university could recognize the language. There are distinctive sounds from both languages, but I won't dive into it. 😊

To be honest i am very surprised that many Germans in this video could not recognize Turkish, considering how many Turkish immigrants live in Germany. On the other hand, i was not surprised at all that people confused Greek (my native language) with Spanish. It is extremely common for some reason.
