Hum vs Apan - the two types of "We"

In this video, we discuss an interesting feature in linguistics called clusivity - a feature that helps languages distinguish if the listener is included when the speaker says "we". It is an interesting quirk that we compare across the varied languages of India - from Marathi and Gujarati, from Tamil to Malayalam, Telugu, from Kannada and Tulu to Dhundhari (Dhundari) and Punjabi.
We try to see through this video how cultures create social boundaries and how it helps shape the way people construct belongingness.

I am originally from Bhopal. We use 'apan' for the inclusive we here. I spent two years in Allahabad for academic reasons. 'Apan' is not used in Allahabad. They even mocked me, claiming that I was mistaken and that there was no such word as 'apan' in Hindi. So I began using 'hum' to deal with them. I returned home for my Diwali vacation. I was talking to mummy one day when I suddenly asked, "Ki mummy, humara ghar kab tak ban jaega." She got offended by that. She replied, Ghar to papa ne banwaya hai. Aur tune to hume hi alag kar diya keh raha hai ki humara ghar... Kisi din hame ghar se bahar bhi nikal dega aise hi..😂😂 After that, I never used Hum in place of Apan. The best way is to preserve your own vocabulary. Don't get manipulated by others.

In Hindi we say maternal grandfather as NANA , what do you call maternal grandfather in tamil, basically family structure name in different languages 4. Influence of indian languages on south east asia 5 . Influence of Persian on north indian languages 6 . When did Tibet adopted devnagari script? 7. Extinct siddham script of india , is present in Japan , how did it reach there ?

[@squaresandcubes9846]

good suggestion

[@aryaaswale7316]

5- persian and all indo aryan languages have same root so many influences are there 6- all languages outside of chinese style scripts use scripts derived from phonecian scripts, so when buddhism reached there it took with it that style of writing, and since tibet was independent most of the time they used it. 7- In japan buddism was started because a tamil monk went there to preach and stayed there so he took that script with him and thus it stayed there.

[@shramanadasdutta3006]

7. Wasn't siddham used to write Buddhist scriptures and sounds of Sanskrit/Prakrit didn't exist in Chinese and Japanese and so the common writing system at that time,Siddham (as opposed to Devangiri now) was retained for Buddhists to continue to read the mantras and slokas in places like Japan and China?

This is detailed indeed! Hats off to you. Thank you for including Tulu and breaking the myth of "the 4 southern languages". Also, pleased to learn about the remaining language families that often get left out of linguistics discussions in India. BTW, in Tulu Yenkul is probably the closest derivative to Yaan. Enkul is a dialectical variant (some people drop the Y and V sounds from words).

[@divithh3955]

Hope he covers tulu specifically in a video..

[@milindchakraborty]

Telugu still uses 'yEmu' for exclusive we instead of ‘memu’ in the Rayalaseema Dialect. I only just discovered that and that's why it wasn't included in the video. ‘yEmu’ is probably the closest to Proto Dravidian ‘yAm’ for exclusive we. Old Kannada and Old Tamil had ‘Em’ and ‘yEm’ earlier and they were derivatives of the Proto Dravidian root. Tulu 'enkulu' and 'yenkulu' is more of a phonological feature, which also exists in Tamil and Malayalam. Adding a semi-vowel y/w in a word initial e or o sounds. ‘enkulu’ in Tulu is indeed a plural of ‘ñAn’ (proto Dravidian I), which is also the word for I in modern Tulu, ‘yAn’, and not yAm (proto Dravidian exclusive we) since the latter had no reason to be pluralised. P.S. Malayalam even pluralised the inclusive we of Proto Dravidian inclusive we (ñam) and formed ‘nammaL’ by the way.

[@EagleOverTheSea]

@@milindchakraborty I've heard of this semi-vowel concept before, but I don't buy into it as a Tuluva who grew up hearing Yenkul and Vunji, instead of Enkul and Onji. There is a definite tendency to drop the Vs in certain dialects: people saying Ittal instead of Vittal is just one example.

Next video idea: 1. Bollywood's role in killing linguistic diversity of India: Helped popularized Urduized Hindi at the cost of Sansktritised Hindi. Killing many languages like Magadhi, Awadhi, Marwadi, Buldelkhandi, Sindhi etc. as Bollywood subconsciously portrayed these languages as 'Dehati' in movies after movies by showing people speaking these languages/dialects as comical, uneducated, uncultured etc. This resulted in many younger generations started feeling ashamed of speaking their native languages and started speaking only Urduised Hindi. Infact mostly maid - 'कामवाली बाई' always shown as Marathi with funny Hindi ascent, these resulted in many younger Marathi gen. feeling ashamed in speaking Marathi outside and chose to speak in Hindi. 2. Correct pronunciation of : ङ, ऋ, ॠ , ऌ, ॡ, श, ष, ज्ञ, ञ, ऴ, ळ : Ex, what should be correct pronunciation of कृष्णा. As per my knowledge, it is pronounced wrongly in most languages as Krishna (and Krushna in Marathi, and Gujarati). Here कृ i.e. (क्+ऋ) is pronounced wrongly, then ण is pronounced as न and ष is pronounced as श. 3. Schwa omission (हलंत) in modern Hindi: राम (rāma) and राम् (Ram) both are pronounced similarly in modern Hindi but pronounced differently in Sanskritised Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit. कमला (Kamalā) is pronounced as कम्ला (Kamlā) in Modern Hindi but कमला (Kamalā) in Marathi and Sanskrit. योग (yoga) is pronounced as योग् (yog) in Hindi. 4. Why in Southern India when writing in English they mostly use s instead of sh for ex. sri instead of shri and th for t, ex: Bharath instead of Bharat. 5. Dying pronunciation of ह्रस्व and दीर्घ. Ex. ताई & ताइ or प्रति & प्रती are pronounced same way nowadays. 6. Missing difference between ए & ऐ, ओ & औ ex. मे & मै are pronounced same way as मे in modern Hindi. सौरभ & सोरभ are pronounced same way as सोरभ

@@vaishnaviwaghmare I hope he will make video. This is very important issue. Not just linguistic, but Bollywood is responsible for slowly killing overall diversity of Bhārata. I will also try to write a Medium blog in the same.

Gujarati letter 'ઋ' has pronounciation 'ru' unlike Hindi where it is pronounced as 'ri'.... In Gujarati Krishna is Krushna (કૃષ્ણ) or (कृष्ण)

You rocked 🤩🤩🤩 I am always interested in knowing other languages of India but no one talk about that but then Google recommended me your video and now i am enjoying my interest area

[@niryuha]

Your language videos are excellent... we want more I know it takes time and effort to research but that's why we love your videos they are well researched and don't have any false information... I have seen many KZbinrs who will say their videos are well researched and viewers will believe that..but they have just put their propaganda or misleading or half-true information. You are a gem for us...very few KZbinrs are there who have a place in our hearts you are one of them.

you're exactly pronouncing memu and manam as native telugu speaker ❤

you are one of the few youtubers in india who is inclusive. Rest of them simply say south indians and brush off. they do not understand that we are tamil, kananda, malayalam and telugu and many more languages. i am so happy to see your channel.

*Being a Marathi I thought it's natural in all Indian languages to use cluvisity.*

Same. Then I went to college and met my best friend, who is bihari. She and I both were dumbfounded because she didn't know what apan meant. 😂😂

[@ravirajyaguru6849]

Being a Gujarati, I had also assumed that all Indian language uses clusivity.

[@Anonymous-qq1yy]

Being a Rajashthani also

[@aflow-]

Why are you mainlanders so ignorant about the diversity of Northeast India? In Northeast India alone, there are over 220 languages and dialectics spoken. They don't even follow the same grammatical rule and even have the same vocabulary. Mind you, most of the languages there don't even belong to either the Indo-Aryan or Proto-Dravidian language family. You are just showing your ignorance by generalising the whole of India. You should be ashamed of yourself for not respecting the diversity of India.

Fascinating video. I would love to see you make a video exploring the tonal languages of South Asia. I grew up hearing Punjabi but never realized it was tonal until I read that online a few years ago.

[@zackcarl7861]

Now i know why your videos takes months , 😭 the amount of research you did made me cry I can see everything you spoke in native languages it's like you recorded the vice on your phone , as soon as you perfected the pronounciation , which you studied all day , then i can see you going about so much youtube search , and just trying to pin the distinction so you can compare it with a grametical document

[@azwraith9973]

In Axomiya, there are words that we can add after the verb to include the person being spoken to. Eg: Non-inclusive - "Ami Goa loi zam." Inclusive - "Ami Goa loi zam dei." The 'dei' here alters the clusivity.

Yes..
