If I Don't Guess Your Language I'll Buy You A Drink

I went to a club in Valencia, Spain and tried guessing people's native languages. Each time I failed they got a free drink. Here's what happened.

Hey @Lingualizer, for future reference, Chinese "dialects" are actually completely separate languages. Chinese and Cantonese are about as close as Spanish and Italian. The Chinese words for "dialect" can also bleed into the English word for "language" Source: I'm a Chinese speaker in the USA

[@dynamo116]

He walks around as this big language-knowledge person but then drops the ball on something so simple like not realizing all the "dialects" in China are considered different languages cause we can't understand each other at all! Swedish/Norwegian/Finnish people can more or less understand each other (same with Russians and Polish if they speak very slowly) but they're still considered separate "languages". But Chinese dialects are so wide and extreme it's really evolved over the centuries. Take the Wenzhounese language for example, that's said to be the most difficult Chinese 'dialect', parts of it sound like Mandarin/Cantonese/Japanese but none of those 3 speakers would understand a single thing the Wenzhounese speaker is saying.

[@StianF]

@@dynamo116 I think you mean Swedish/Norwegian/Danish. They can understand each other relatively well. Finnish, however, is completely different.

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

The Chinese guy was right when he said a dialect is a language. The Argentine guy absolutely was not.

[@C_In_Outlaw3817]

Right. It is a different dialect from modern standard Spanish but there hasn’t been enough time for the Argentinian dialect to fully diverge from MSS. Maybe in about 300 years they will be different enough from each other but not rn. If you’re fluent in MSS and you listen carefully you can understand the Argentinian dialect ok

[@TheAnthraxBiology]

@@C_In_Outlaw3817 it's like saying Hiberno English and British English are different, or US English. English was introduced to Argentina at the same time as North America, it was introduced to Ireland about 800 years ago. Man just wanted a drink hahahaha but you have to appreciate the hustle

[@fakanecrofago9931]

@@TheAnthraxBiology I mean, there was a lot of talking about the "language" of Argentinians, in the 1900's-1930's particularly, all of this started with "El idioma de los argentinos" by "Lucien Abeille" A french autor, and then was followed by argentinian writers known at the time as Robert Arlt and Jorge Luis Borges with writings with the same title as the book of Abeille. A very interesting topic because of the waves of inmigrants argentina got in 1900's which affected all the vocabulary with lunfardo, cocoliche and many dialects that were born from the heterogenic culture of that time.

As an Arabic speaker, I would definitely argue that Moroccan dialect (Darija) should be considered another language, as the Moroccan guy in the video said. It is not really mutually intelligble with most other Arab dialects. I'd argue that Norwegian and Swedish are closer to eachother than Moroccan Arabic is to most other Arabic dialects. Fun video anyways!

[@C_In_Outlaw3817]

This is correct. Darija sounds totally different

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

I think so too. Plenty of dialects are so different from the official language they're supposedly a part of that they might as well be languages. And there's also technicalities like Cantonese still being classified as a dialect of Han Chinese language. Same from Neapolitan Italian, which I think is even recognized by some institutions as a language.

[@necrolich9169]

Hey Anthropology major here, just wanted to say the line between language and dialect has very little to do with verbal communication. We have a saying in linguistic anthro "The difference between a dialect and a language, is a language has an army and a navy demanding its a language." In reality Moroccan Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Arabian Arabic... etc, all should be there own languages, whereas Nordic Languages should be dialects, but a long time ago, Nordic nations made a huge fuss for nationalistic pride, about there dialects so they are languages now.

Norwegians, Danes, Lithuanians and one boy from the Czech Republic, Viktor, worked with me.

Once I said to him that I look for him all day, in Polish "Ja szukam cię cały dzień ", "szukać" in Polish means to look for, and in Czech šukat sound the same and means... fu**k 😉

In reality some dialects are officially recognized as languages ​​such as Sardinian (a specific form) and Venetian (not all the Venetian dialect but only the Venetian lagoon dialect).

For future reference, Italian and Chinese "dialects" are in practise classified as languages linguistically even though people commonly refer to them as dialects. There are however some outliers - Tuscan and Romanesco dialects are definitively dialects as they are extremely similar to standard Italian and pretty much every Italian can understand them; for Chinese it is more difficult but Sichuanese is the only debatable major Chinese "dialect" that can be classified as a dialect

[@Kunfuxu]

I think it should be made apparent That Chinese "Dialects", Arabic "Dialects", Italian "Dialects", etc are actually separate languages, they're just called Dialects to erase the local heritage and nature of the languages, as well as unify the different peoples (though unify is a strong word here). The Kingdom of Naples/Two Sicilies was not a unique region of the Italian Peninsula since the 1200s, just to be told its language is just an Italian DIALECT. Speaking Neapolitan or Lombard or Venetian are not mutually intelligible.
