[@mattiasuardi4300]

So Sirenik unfortunately went extinct in the 90's. I didn't know about it.

[@JohnSmith-of2gu]

I was waiting for this one. They're a fascinating group of people, on the roof of the world. It's fascinating they even briefly inhabited the far north of Greenland. I didn't know that most of the lands of the Siberian Yupiks used to be Sirenik.

[@JcDizon]

I read that before the Inuit spread throughout northern Canada and Greenland, there were already inhabitants there that are part of the Paleo-Eskimo or Dorset group. I wonder if they're also speakers of the Eskimo-Aleut languages.

[@CostasMelas]

The language of the Paleo-Eskimos is unknown. It is unknown if it was distantly related to the Eskimo-Aleut

[@ramazanyalcn3660]

The Turks gave this name to the archipelago, known as the "Aleutian Islands", located between Asia and America. Originally it was “Alauç” in Proto Turkish, and when separated as “Ala-Uç” it means “White tip”. Because although the word "al" means "red" color in today's Turkish, it means "white" in protoTurkish. Snowy fields and white hills were called "al", later the concept of "height" came to the fore and changed to the color of the flag (Red). Indeed, "alba" means to stand high in Latin. Calling Albanians "albanian" and Albanians "albanian" derives from this Proto-Turkish root word.

no, why would the Proto-Turks have a name for these islands and second how would it have passed to us? It is from Tchukchi 'Aliat' meaning Island.

i thought proto eskomo-aleut should have been staying around somewhere in Siberia before going to America as far as i heard there were words similar to it in the tungusic languages around there.

[@k1r4z.]

Before the formation of proto Eskimo aleut they were obv more in Siberia also as far ik, tungustic didnt even exist that time

[@MzKEEKo.]

Or maybe it was Tungusic that had remnants of Eskimo as a substrate?

[@user-xw8et4lr2j]

Why did Inuit people expand quickly after 1000AD?

[@CostasMelas]

Mainly climatic reasons. Their spread is related to the Medieval Warm Period. Also they were better adapted to the colder climate, dominated over the other cultures such as Norse after the end of MWP

[@RichardEdwards40]

they had dog sleds which allowed for quicker movement. they also had better hunting technology

[@ikengaspirit3063]

Are you sure that the Dorset didn't speak Inuit languages as well?.

[@CostasMelas]

It is not certain but they were culturally different, so we can assume that they belonged to another group

Los nombres de dioses aztecas, mayas e incas son turcos o proto-turcos. Xochiquetzal: Diosa de la belleza y las flores. Si leemos aquí que [quetzal] es [kutsal], Xochi es [çok], entonces ha surgido el nombre [Çok kutsal]. Xochi + quetzal Çok kutsal (ortografía turca) Muy santo - sagrado Generalmente, el carácter "X" al comienzo de la palabra se lee como la letra "Ç" en turco. Los caracteres con la letra "ch", que suelen estar uno al lado del otro, se pronuncian como la letra "Ş" en turco. Xiuhtecuhtli: dios del fuego y el tiempo, tiene un doble deber que significa "doble = dos", y "çifte" se lee como "kutlu". Xiuhte + cuhtli Çifte + kutlu(ortografía turca) La palabra [Kutlu] proviene de la raíz [kut] en turco antiguo. Kut, por otro lado, indica un dios que es supremo sobre todos los seres. Por lo tanto, la palabra [kutlu] tiene los significados de enviado por dios, elegido por dios, subordinado a dios. En turco de hoy, tiene buenas noticias, significados auspiciosos y hermosos. Kinich Ahau: Dios maya del sol. Kinich o Küniş es casi lo mismo que la palabra turca para "Güneş". El nombre "Künhan" en la antigua creencia turca Güneş-Han es uno de los nombres que se le da al sol sagrado. Llama la atención la proximidad de las palabras Ahau y Han. Kinich Ahau künhan chac= çak Es el dios maya del rayo. Esta palabra, que se lee como "çak", sigue existiendo en nuestro idioma como "yıldırım çaktı" aún hoy. Yıldırım çaktı = un rayo cayó (ortografía turca) Cuando leemos el nombre del dios como "kutsal katlı", aumenta la similitud semántica y simbólica. Significa el dios que existe en todas partes del universo, en todas las capas del mundo y del universo. Tiene el mismo significado que Tengri en Asia Central. (Quetzalcoatl, mismo significado que Tengri) uso en una oración 7 [katlı] bir binadalar. Están en un edificio de 7 [pisos] 5 [katlı] bina yaklaşık 20 metre yüksekliğindedir. El edificio de 5 [pisos] tiene unos 20 metros de altura. Quetzal= Kutsal= santo, sagrado Quetzalcoatl quetzal + coatl kutsal + katlı

If you want to do a deep-dive: There are archeological findings of maybe 3 tribes of people most likely spoke a different language than the modern Inuit, hence they're not on this map in the video, who lived in Greenland between 2500-500 BC and then disappeared again.

I wonder if the european presence in the region since 17th century had influence in their migration. Maybe without it they had been able to expand even more in these last centuries.

[@brauchebenutzername]

May be without european presence the inuit had been able to expand even more. But my guess is, that the european presence made the inuit expansion easier. Because of the europeans the inuit had iron to make weapons for hunting and iron tools and other purposes, which expands the habitable area to them.

[@RichardEdwards40]

they would not be able to expand much further south since the enviornment was too different and the other tribes would stop them

Originally it was “Alauç” in Proto Turkish, and when separated as “Ala-Uç” it means “White tip”. Because although the word "al" means "red" color in today's Turkish, it means "white" in protoTurkish. Snowy fields and white hills were called "al", later the concept of "height" came to the fore and changed to the color of the flag (Red). Indeed, "alba" means to stand high in Latin. Calling Albanians "albanian" and Albanians "albanian" derives from this Proto-Turkish root word. the facts are concealed by creating a false Uto-Aztec language group. The oldest language in the world is Proto Turkish. In Aztec-Maya-Inca languages, each nation finds a few words they use. They are very surprised when they find these words. Like the Jews, the Albanians. Because Turks came to Europe, the Middle East and Africa thousands of years ago and the words they used were taken by the nations around them. Native American languages belong to the proto-Turkish language group. It is normal for these words to be almost identical to each other. When we look at the past for the similarity between the words in the Jewish language and the Native American languages, the Sumerian civilization emerges. Sumerian and Native American languages belong to the proto Turkish language group. It seems that the Jewish language was heavily influenced by the Sumerian language. But they are not aware of this.

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

No such thing as Jewish language. Jews are a tribe derived from Judah. Judah is the Judeans a tribe of the Hebrews, there's 12 tribes + one (levite priests) and each tribe spoke a language that came to be called Hebrew. Asherites, Danites, Ephraimites, Gadites, Issacharites, Manassehites, Naphtalites, Reubenites, Simeonites, Zebulunites, Judeans and Benjaminites. God. They spoke Hebrew. No such thing as Jewish language. It's Hebrew language.
