Guess the Spoken Language 🤔 (HARD)

Today we’re doing “guess the spoken language” challenge, where I try to guess what language is being spoken. As a polyglot I have studied dozens of languages, perhaps as many as 50, which has given me a good deal of insight into what different languages sound like and how many language families are out there.
There are some really difficult ones here, let’s see if I can get them all right!

2:58 Spoken Polish and Ukrainian are completely different and impossible to confuse. Also that language you listened to wasn't Ukrainian, it was Russian, the video you watched is wrong.

[@philosopherkink]

I think the author of the video got it wrong, since he took the audio from a video in Ukraine. The language is Russian but clearly with Ukrainian accent and a very unambiguous "шо" at the end :)

[@wiekszapoowamirabelka7844]

Exacly, Polish and Ukrainian aren't even in the same language group.

When a polyglot struggles with some languages, it shows how much effort is required to learn. Keep up the good work, the learning and sharing on here, Xiaoma. I am leaning 3 more languages since subbing a couple of years ago 👍

[@HGee420]

Lol 😂 A polyglot simply means a person with the ability to speak multiple languages. It’s unlikely that there aren’t many languages that they don’t know. There’s over 7K official languages world wide. Its obviously hard to understand languages that you don’t regularly hear. I love learning different languages. I speak 7 to varying degrees of fluency. But Xiao is a New Yorker so he’ll have a head start from his school days. NYC has 6 or more languages on school curricula. In fact NYC has more polyglots than anywhere I’ve ever experienced.

[@SakuraTempura]

He doesn’t speak multiple languages fluently, he can speak a couple fluently and then knows some phrases and grammar points

[@evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016]

It’s not really a good work when one is learning mostly non-pretty languages that aren’t fun to see and hear, instead of learning super gorgeous languages like Dutch and Norwegian and Icelandic and Breton and Hungarian and Welsh and and Gallo and Catalan and Galician and Slovene and Old Norse etc that have almost only or mostly pretty words - anyways, the true Latin languages are Galician / Portuguese / Gallo / Catalan / French / Spanish / Occitan / Latin / Aranese / Ladin / Guernsey / Esperanto / Walloon / Italian and the other Italian-based languages and the other French-based languages, and they shouldn’t be including that non-pretty language as a ‘Latin’ language which is just a bæd mix of Turkish and Slavic languages and modified ex-Latin words, pfff, which has the most non-pretty word endings and letter combinations and is very uncouth, so it has nada similar to true Latin languages which sound so refined and pretty, and pretty languages such as Gallo and Galician and Occitan should be included instead, like, I don’t even understand how can ppl speak languages that are so non-pretty with embarrassingly funny words, I could never...

As a native Portuguese speaker, I get that a lot from foreigners (that my language sounds like Spanish mixed with Russian). But the most unusual for me was: European Portuguese sounds like an angry Russian, Brazilian Portuguese is more like a drunk French. 😮😂

[@fyrhunter_svk]

@@BrazilianSky That's so true tho. :DD

[@kuab1313]

It's because of the "l" sound which sounds the same in Portuguese and Russian.

[@Jay_in_Japan]

@@kuab1313 With European Portuguese, it's more the vowel reduction that makes it sound Russian.

[@anarchclown]

It's more like spanish spoken by a dutch person IMO. Especially since some dutch and brazilians get similar accents in english (though most dutch speak very good english so it's hard to tell). Meanwhile at Castilian (that's spanish for the rest of the word) and Greek speakers also get somewhat similar accents when speaking other languages. Neither portuguese and dutch or spanish and greek are that closely related, they just have similar sounds in their languages I guess.

[@shrekuwu259]

For the greek I thought it was Portuguese until I heard "Ellada" which is how you say "Greece" in Greek so I knew it was Greek LOL

[@greecoboost]

Good catch!! Portuguese has "Shh" "Sem" and "Ow" in its language, sounds that are not in Greek at all, but I can see the similarity.

All Indigenous ones are! Sadly most are extinct or almost due to white invaders, but that applies to most of the world. All the more reason to not let it happen anymore (like the military or others that want to invade and destroy all) and help foster them back if you’re not part of it yourself!(:

[@markmoiseyev3726]

Maybe it's someone ukrainian but speaking russian, because instead of "shto" he pronounced "sho", like southern russian or ukrainian man would. But this is a minor thing, he also has some kind of southern pronounciation, and in one moment has strangely phrased his thought, probably because he is not exactly sure how to say this in Russian. This is an explanation of my assumption for those, who are not Eastern Slavs and can't tell the difference between the languages of the region.

[@gnas1897]

​@@markmoiseyev3726 shto in Ukrainian is "Schcho"

[@markmoiseyev3726]

@@gnas1897 true, but I thought ukrainans say "sho" sometimes too, when speaking russian. Like an accent-thing. But maybe it's more common in eastern Ukraine, where we can say, people more often speaking "surzhik", so it's more like between ukrainan and russian language. Maybe even like the Kuban' region, (south of Russia) speak.

the third one is definitely russian. I mean I speak ukrainian as well as russian, so I can tell the difference

[@gpodkolzin]

You're right. I'm a native speaker of both.

I'd say Romanian is the Indonesian of Europe. It's quite easy to pick up. I'd love to hear you speak it

[@DizzlePR]

Bro you should try to learn a bit of Mongolian. Mongolia is one of the coolest Asian countries from experience

[@darrell1829]

The fact that you got some incorrect means that you'll have more learning to do and more great videos in the future. Over 5 million subs looking forward to those 👍

HA! I got the first one straightaway before the reveal. It is easy to confuse with Portugues, at first, because of the "sh" sounds here and there. I've lived in Brasil off and on since 1991, so I was able to rule out Portugues quickly. My first assumption, Greek, turned out to be a good hunch. I don't speak Greek, but I once asked some people what language they were speaking in because it did sound so similar to Portugues, here and there. They said "Greek". On to the next languages, mais idiomas, favor!

I m native Greek who's spent some time in the UK and I can confirm this, majority of people confuse it with Portuguese and some people even Spanish.

[@ivanmolero7829]

@@aLeXx1314 Greek sounds; phonetically more like Spanish than Portuguese. My guess is that in Britain, hearing Greek spoken, and recognising that it it's not Spanish, by default they think it is Portuguese, a language they have less frequently heard, probably.

This was hard!😂

[@pusupupu7304]

I got same as you, but I have heard most of the languages before. I listen music worldwide so therefore I know languages
