OTHER LESS KNOWN GERMANIC LANGUAGES

[@BobWitlox]

Zeelandic was a surprise. As a native Dutch speaker, I expected it to be just a dialect that would be easy to understand. But I understood maybe 30-40%. Limburgish was very easy to understand (100%)

Mennonite descendant from Canada here. It's always nice to see my heritage represented. Dankscheen!

5:03 Modern Danish still has _smørrebrød_ -- though in Denmark it's a traditional open-faced sandwich. It usually consists of a piece of buttered rye bread, topped with pieces of meat or fish, cheese or spreads, and garnishes. 😊

[@Davlavi]

Thanks for sharing love learning about rare languages.

[@leopoldsorres923]

Очень понравился Эльвдальский язык, подкупил ещё тем, что в языке присутствуют носовые гласные, которые отсутствуют в других германских языках. Спасибо Энди.

[@mrh1096]

​@@arittehow is it fascist to love Germanic languages?

[@galuhdani]

i love Austronesian and Romance language

[@robertkukuczka9469]

The Germanic language spoken in Poland in the town of Wilamowice. It is called the Wilanowski language or: Wymysiöeryś. It is spoken by 25 people today.

[@robertkukuczka9469]

Great to hear them. Greetings from a Pole living in Hungary.

[@silkeklarius7743]

Thank you for your wonderful work ❤

[@davidchambers7508]

Mention of Germanic languages and there were two extinct languages and one living language in Ireland. In County Wexford there was Yola and Bargies. In (North) County Dublin there was Fingallian in the district called Fingal. In Ulster there is the Ulster Scots language.

[@bonglobster]

it's actually really cool how Shetlandic is completely intelligible with English, like honestly the excerpt shown sounds a lot like informal English in a Scottish accent. as a native English speaker im not used to another language being so similar to our hot mess of a language lol

[@vicooo1498]

that's because it's a dialect of english, duh. It's not a separate language

[@Georgin]

​@@vicooo1498, no, Scots is a separate language

[@bobbyg1068]

​@@vicooo1498It's a dialect of Scots (which is not derived from modern English, they split during the middle ages). Whether you consider Scots a dialect of English is mostly semantic, but it is a recognized language. With Shetlandic you also have significant influence from old Norse though

[@bonglobster]

@@bobbyg1068 Yeah I was gonna say i'd think its closer to scots than english (which sounds like my judgment was right lol), also if it was a dialect of English idt Andy would include it in a video.... unless Andy has made videos on english dialects before... also @ vicooo1498, no need to be rude, if I was in fact mistaken it's more helpful and productive to be informative. Edit: went back to the Shetlandic section of the video and English is not mentioned in the Shetlandic language family tree so safe to say it's Scots not English.

[@pcenero]

Anglophones are very unused to seeing a mutually intelligible language like Nordics (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) or Latin speakers (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, etc.) are, so they mis-classify it as "just another dialect".

[@pablomarques3684]

Make a video about old russian

[@SirBolsón]

She needs someone who can reconstruct it!

[@i_ate_a_cat_]

Old Russian is an outdated name for Old East Slavic.

[@SirBolsón]

@@i_ate_a_cat_ EXACTLY! The common ancestor of Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian dialects.

[@andyb9378]

The text at (13:13) is from Lisslprinsn, the Elfdalian translation of The Little Prince / Le petit prince.

[@akoska]

Hi Andy! Why did you show South America at the pomeranian language, if it was spoken in Germany?

[@juanlima2763]

It is extinct in Germany/Poland and mainly spoken by their descendants abroad. It just happened that Brazil received the majority of pomeranians.

[@joseg.solano1891]

Shetlandic vs Norn, please

[@LearnRunes]

Is anyone writing these languages in runes?

[@Resilio_]

Such beautiful languages! Could you make one with Romance languages?

[@niccolopaganini1782]

I speak none and have tried learning Spanish and French, I love all to them so much! ❤

[@L.E.V-k4d]

I seem, that in Sylt Frisian many abruptive sounds. It's strange for Germanic languages.

[@MrAllmightyCornholioz]

Shetlandic = Norweigian Scots

[@jhndr0nia]

Why is it called Pennsylvanian Dutch? Shouldn't it be Pennsylvanian Deutsch?

[@corinna007]

Because when the Amish first immigrated to the States, English speakers couldn't tell the difference between German and Dutch, and since "German" is "Deutsch" in the language, they just called it all Dutch.

[@ethanpearson853]

The Elfdalian language has significant bit of Old English influence in it.

[@fgconnolly4170]

influence? no. similarities? yes

[@ethanpearson853]

@fgconnolly4170 There are words that are used in Anglo Saxon English. And being that English was an intermediary language even then in ways, it would statistically make sense that there would be a specific level of borrowed words.

[@KurzemesMiskastes]

Pomeranian? Sounds like Pamir 🤣
