In preroman times, Porto was called Cale (means sea harbour in celtic) when the romans arived, they calles the city Portus Cale, meaning the harbour of Cale (or harbour of harbour). The name of the city turnned into the name of the country, so Portugal (portu + gale) means Harbour Harbour.

To me, Xilberto and Gilberto are so different than She and He are to each other. To a Valencian guy that would sound Chilberto, etc.. Southerns would use Ilberto and add a vocative form like "pisha" or "killo" (ki-yo), that is an honor title that came from centuries ago. "Ilberto, pisha, súbdito leal éono". Also, comma always before a vocative: Gracias, Gilberto. "Vuestro" is a possesive, literally it is "your". It could refer to the guy who is using it in a formal way, like at the end of a letter: "Atentamente, vuestro súbdito leal.." (Sincerely, your loyal subdit..) In here you might use "usted", or just don't use anything would sound even better "Gracias, Gilberto, súbdito leal.." Or maybe you wanted to translate "you're". In that case that would be: "Gracias, Gilberto, eres el súbdito leal.." but this is less probable. Finally, "del" is a contraction from preposition 'de' (of) and male article 'el' (the). It is like to melt "Of" and "The" in the same word. It would be better if tou just use the preposition "de". (Del la means literally "Of the the" is just nonsense make out by a single letter.)

As an English speaker, trying to understand for example Gavin Douglas's stunningly beautiful translation of the Aeneid into Scots (the Eneados) is nearly impossible. I tried, since it's considered much more beautiful than any translation of the Aeneid into English, and I assumed it would be easily mutually intelligible with English and no problem.

What I did manage to translate before I gave up did live up to its reputation though. Beautiful book.

[@noah-yp1jm]

aaaaaa i LOVE this video. thank you SO much for this visibility, it’s pretty much needed, specially for the most endangered languages as asturleonese or aragonese. i speak both castillian and asturleonese (it’s central asturian variety), and i have some notes tho: - about the castillian part: ventiuno loses it's -o when it's an adjective that comes b4 a noun, so it will be ventiún años (this happens only with the number "uno", one, and all places where it appears as such, so treintaiun/o, cuarentaiun/o, cientocincuentaiun/o etc). also, it's weird but "idiota" doesn't vary for gender, so it's "idiotas" both for males and females (esos pavos son unos idiotas = those boys are idiots). - about the asturleonese part: in my variety the third phrase is «fai un cutu qu’escarabaya’l pelleyu, pinga’l mocu y corta’l mexu», «cortar el mexu» doesn’t actually mean to cut you open but to «stop the pee flow», as in if you were to try to pee in that situation, your pee will stop because of how cold it is. On other note, i read somewhere that another influence of basque on castillian (and asturleonese through castillian) it’s the five phonetic vowel system, which is exactly the same as the one from basque. both castillian and asturleonese are the only two romance languages (that i know) with only 5 vowels. Dont take this info for granted bc im too lazy to info-check it, but if you or any person reading this is curious about it, i dont think it will be too difficult to find. The recognition of galician and portuguese being the same language it’s been increasing really fast this past years both socially and in the academia. there’s not that many linguists left that support the two language theory, and the majority of those who do support it usually use cultural, social and political context arguments, not purely filo-linguistic ones. there’s even this new orthography system called «AGAL» that’s convergent with portuguese instead of spanish (so, instead of «año» they write «anho», or instead of «corazón» they write coraçom -not coração, they retain all the particularities of galician, understanding them as dialectical features-). If you’re interested in the topic, i suggest you check out olaxonmario youtube channel, he’s a galician youtuber and he knows a lot of language stuff. he has a few videos on this topic (historical context to why galician was force to converge with spanish, the new writing system etc). He even appears in some ecolinguist channel interacting with speakers of several varieties of portuguese (including european and brazilian).

As an andalusian... you should make a video of the "southern spanish dialect" because it has a lot of varieties. Someone from Sevilla (western Andalusia) speaks differently from someone from Granada (eastern Andalusia) or Murcia (Murcia's region). There are a lot of differences between the varietys of the southern dialect

Hello, I speak Aragonese I just have a couple of things to say: When you say the names of Patues for example, those are just the names of the dialects os Aragonese, just like when some people say they speak Andalusian, the Spanish spoken in that region. The name "Fabla" is a derogatory way to name the lenguage, is like if you name "habla" to spanish or "parla" to Catalan. One more thing is that Aragonese comes directly from the Gallo-Romance family, some things are similar to some ibero-romance family, but comes from the first one. Anyway, the video is awesome, seriously, good job, if you need something related to the Aragonese lenguage, just let me know.

[@Giorgi.Koberidze]

Thank you for this video. Well when it comes to Basque and Georgian there are several connections: Georgian and Basque have the same structure: the verb is plural and both languages have an ergative. In Indo-European languages, there is neither a plural verb nor an ergative. There are several words that are almost the same phonetically too. It is a very big and deep subject but in Georgia, there is significant support for the connection theory. P.S. Georgian here.

[@unanec]

true, but many similarities can be found in many other eurasian families. per example turkic languages. Plural names and demonyms end with -tar/ar/dar, genitives and possesives end with -en, plurals end with -k, both have ablative case and coincide in form, -te; both show postposition of the same cases (genitive, dative and accusative), and many vocabulary, just like with georgian

This is a very good video overall, though there are some minor mistakes in the video, apart from the pronouncing ones, that everyone wanted to point out, theese are some others. I hope you accept them :) 2:08 not a mistake but would have been great to mention the basque influence over castilian as you mentioned arabic, basque influence produced the main deformation of castilian latin. The entire vocalic system of castilian is inherited from Basque and it's also the reason why spanish has everything you said here 4:28 Oops! you are almost 55 years outdated! French is the most distant romance language apart from romanian, that's why catalan and occitan are grouped as occitano-romance since 1966. 5:12 nope, it's not based in central catalan, Catalan standard is only for writing but spoken standard does not exist. Written standard is built in order to fit all different pronounciations of catalan dialect. It's kind of a distinct way to build standards i guess. 7:47 actually portuguese and galician are still grouped as the same in linguistic sciences. The galician-portuguese boarder does not even fit dialects. It's good to point out Portuguese and Spanish are often considered a dialectal continuum. Though a castilian and an Alentiejan won't understand, a castilian will fully understand an asturian, the asturian will fully understan the galician, the galician will fully understand the northern portuguese and finally the portuguese will fully understand the southern portuguese. Still this is not popularly accepted. 14:55 maybe i should watch the entire video before commenting but yes, this is widely accepted as true. Also explain the rolled R, the soft g and others. I think there is no sound not shared by both castilian and basque (should check), and this is not recent, have been like this for centuries 15:13 "only pre-indoeuropean language", "the only left-overs of the romans", well, that's literally the only known thing about basque, not a theory lol. Also point out thet there are many weird similarities between basque and eurasian languages, specially turkic, not as if they had common ancestors but as if they were in contact for a long time since they are mostly phonetical similarities. This video is actually very good and let me tell you some something incredible, most dialect have also regional names so you can not-to-call it as a cardinal direction :D

Well, Andalusian (as well as Canarian) is really just one of the different branches of Southern Spanish. Andalusian itself isn't even a dialect, but a group of them. It's true Andalusian and Canarian are the most distinct Southern varieties. The other two being Extremaduran (and by that I mean the Spanish varieties spoken in that region, not the Extremaduran language, which still influences Extremaduran Spanish though) and Murcian. They both are a bit closer to Northern Spanish and as I said, Extremaduran still has Extremaduran language/Leonese influences while Murcian has an Aragonese/Catalan twist. Also, there are more languages under the Gallo-Romance branch: Galloitalian "dialects" and probably Aragonese itself.
