Current situation: Caddo has today around 20 elder speakers which on top of that speak at least two different dialects, none of which are the mostly recorded one in writing. It's the caddoan language with the most native speakers which is good for documentation. Arikara has around 15 speakers, not all of them are elder as fortunately had a speaker that was a teacher of languages and fluent in Arikara. Pawnee has the best projection of them all. Counting speakers and students, it has 79 speakers even tho none of them are native and only around 10 are fluent. It has a lot of learning content and there is a school in this language. Wichita, shown here as extinct, it is not yet even tho at the verge. Last speaker died in 2016, today there are 4 people with basic conversation skills but no further knowledge on the language. Extinction is now unavoidable. Kitsai got extinct around the 30s

The disappearance of a language family is a great tragedy for humanity.

Great video as always, it's so sad how a lot of Native American language got extinct so fast, specially in lands colonized by English or French

It is a shame these very interesting languages almost disappeared. But your video is great! 😊

Nah, Wichita is probably persevered somewhere. Is it? 🥺

@CostasMelas Ай бұрын

The last speaker died in 2016, but evidence of the language exists and a revival could be attempted

@unanec Ай бұрын

There are 4 non-fluent speakers that only know the basics, wichita can only rely on the documentation we have for a revival but otherwise it is efectively extinct

Hell yeah more american languages Will you do the same thing but one color per primary family so that we can compare?

@qpdb840 Ай бұрын

This language family is almost dead. That's sad, maybe one day the population of speakers can rise a bit more so it's not heavily in danger to be on its death bed.

@lukasfencl5512 Ай бұрын

what about to add estimated number of native speakers?

@lucasjames7524 Ай бұрын

It's sad, but with technology, globalization, and the metaphorical shrinking of the world in the modern age, the extinction of small languages or minority languages within whatever larger population they are found seems to tend towards the inevitable. It takes a concerted effort and ideally governmental promotion to keep such languages alive, and even then, it rests so much in the hands of the few who dedicate themselves to it. We're sort of going through a bottleneck of abundance, as it were.

How do they know where proto Caddoan language was spoken in 2.000 BCE regarding that there is no written record?

@CostasMelas 20 күн бұрын

The group is associated with cultures distinguished by archaeology. For example, the Caddoan group is associated with Caddoan Mississippian culture and other earlier cultures.

Requesting for making history of Semitidic languages day 1

@leonardo_fratila Ай бұрын

He already made the history of semitic langueges, but if you mean langueges that are related to it, he also made videos on nilo-saharan, chadic and other afra asiatic langeuges.
