[@annojance]

They didn't mention the actual reason why French is so different. French is influenced by their Celtic heritage (Gaulish to be more specific), with a sprinkle of Frankish influence. English also picked up some of that influence from the Norman French (which itself was a version of the Gallo-Romance language spoken in the area we now know as Normandy after being influenced by Old Norse) that crossed the channel when the Normans became the ruling class of England. The Celts in Britain likely came from continental Europe several hundreds of years before then, with multiple regions producing their own variant of that language in relative isolation. Nowadays we typically think of the British Isles when we think of the word "Celtic" but the Celts were very widespread before Romans and Germanic people spread their influence. They were also in Iberia, but the Romans spread their influence in that area hundreds of years before they conquered Gaul (and were subsequently taken over by the Franks hundreds of years after). Certain parts of northern Italy have been influenced by the Gaulish language as well. The Arabian influence in Spain is relatively well known, but the Celtic influence is rarely mentioned even in France where it remained to some degree for quite some time even after being conquered by Romans and Franks.

@@nukekidontheblock8349 Italic is the parent branch of Latin. Latin existed with other Italic languages, like Oscan, Umbrian, Faliscan, but because all these Italic languages went extinct after the Roman conquest that Latinized much of Europe, linguist simply just called the languages that directly descended from Latin (Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, etc.), the Romance languages. In other words, Italic is a broader and more inclusive term than Romance or Latin-derived, but it has almost no practical value in using it today, as the only surviving Italic languages all come from the Romance branch.

French retained, more or less of course, the medieval spelling, but the pronunciation evolved. For instance the word for Easter is "Pâques" pronounced [pak]. In Middle French it was "Pasques" (pronounced [pask], like modern Welsh word "Pasg") and in Old French it was "pasques" pronounced [paskes].

[@flpReges]

That's really interesting. The same word in portuguese is "Páscoa" [paskua]

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

One rule of thumb in French is that if a word has that circumflex mark, â, ê, î, ô, û, the original word most likely had an s preceding it. For example, château -> chasteau -> chastel -> castel (basically castle). This makes learning French much easier for other Romance languages, once they can start seeing a pattern.

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

The French language which was introduced and utilized in Britain originated from old french until 1350's but Latin and French continued to be exclusively used in official legal documents until the beginning of the 18th century there. Middle French was the transition from Latin, old french from the various languages of "oïl" (Northern) and "Occitane" (southern) into the short lived middle French (300yrs). The french language evolved the most in France and it's many of colonies. The difference between the evolution of french from middle French and modern french presently is the province of Québec situated in Canada but was formerly known as New France. Colony which was lost by the French Empire prior to its own revolution and by default it's evolution into modern french. Because of this it has retained (even now) many words of that time period. Some are closer to Latin through the Occitane dialect but other are apart due to distance and influence (Celtic/Gaelic/Gallo)

In Canadian french (province of Québec), we say "Espadrilles" instead of "Basket" for sneakers.

[@Sayitlikitiz101]

Espadrilles, though oldish, is still used in Modern French but only refers to canvas or rope-soled tennis shoes.

[@Napostriouf]

In Québec, it depends who we talk. I often hear the word "espadrilles" from older people to say running shoe despite its official meaning is about a form of low light canvas shoe. Usually people younger than 50 year old will use the word souliers in popular form as in school the word espadrilles was often rejected because it was specific to one type of shoes. "Souliers de course" for running shoe or "as-tu mis tes souliers, parce qu'on s'en va" for did you were your shoes, because we are going out. And "chaussures" in the formal form which is often used by shoes sellers.

The thing is that French is NOT different from other latin languages. Only the phonology is really special, which makes it SOUND different. But in the grammatical aspects and vocabulary it's ultra similar to other romance languages. French is closer to Italian than Spanish to italian for exemple. The similarity of several languages is not determined by the way it sounds. I'm French, I never took one single italian or romanian class, but in the written form I understand a lot from them and it would be really easy to learn them. Spanish is super easy to me and since I study a slavic language (polish) that is totally different, I realised even more how French was similar to Spanish in terms of grammar, syntax, structure.

[@Lampchuanungang]

Yep compared to polish french and spanish share the same backstage celtic, iberic and roman cultures and idioms. With polish, spanish and french, shares a milenar past from Kurganian times, Proto-Indo-European times milleniuns far away when Europeans were one.

"Viande" in French is Latin-based and it comes from the word "vivanda" in Latin, and according to Wiktionary: "Inherited from Old French viande, from Vulgar Latin *vīvanda, alteration of Latin vīvenda, from the neuter plural form of vīvendus, from vīvere (“to live”). Compare English viand, Italian vivanda, Portuguese vivenda, Spanish vivienda." By the way, In German, meat is "Fleisch," which is obviously a cognate with English's "flesh." 😊

I am studying history and I had a course on languages. This was my favorite class of all my college years. I learned so many exciting things, for example, how languages ​​influence each other and why. (Commercial, contact, domination...). French originated from Latin, but it was strongly influenced by Celtic and Germanic languages ​​in its pronunciation due to the fact that there was contact and mixing of populations. Hence the fact that pronunciation in French is VERY different from other Latin languages. In the same way, Romanian is a Latin language but has been influenced by nearby languages, hence the fact that it no longer really sounds Latin. We still find the same patterns between French and Italian. For example, words in "ch" in French are in "ca" in Italian (if they existed in Latin.) "chèvre" becomes "capra", "chien" becomes "cane", "chaîne" becomes "catena" etc. Words in "cl" in French are in "chi" in Italian. (clé- chiave, clair - chiaro...) -> we can find the same phenomenon between English and German (night - nacht, eight - acht...) As said in the video, Spanish has been in contact with Arabic, so we find borrowings from Arabic. On the subject of borrowings between different family languages ​​(or not necessarily), there are also some super interesting things to notice: borrowings can be linked to a level of prestige. The culture associated with knowledge and medicine is ancient Greece, and there is a lot of Greek in this field. In classical music, opera, etc. it's more of an Italian influence. The cuisine, rather French, as we can notice with English (beef, which comes from the word "boeuf" in French etc.) In the context of my studies, it's really usefull to think about the patterns we observe, because it allows us to obtain information on ancient cultures without having access to writings or traces. As I gave the example with the French words in ch and the Italian words in ca: the words that we find are words that existed for those who spoke Latin, therefore concepts that come from ancient cultures. For Latin, we have enough archaeological traces, etc. but there are other cultures ​​where this is not the case, but we can find out if they had horses, metal (bronze, gold etc.), we can even try to guess the social structures, if there is a word for king, for queen, or not etc. with languages which came from those cultures. It's not infallible, given that languages ​​borrow from each other and evolve, but we can still get a lot of information from that and I find that absolutely fascinating.

[@majidpersona9346]

It was more than contact and mixing,the majority of population was of Celtic origin,and later there was a strong germanic component (eastern France,Burgundy). The Romans were a minority.The phonetic is unique but closer to celtic and germanic.

​@@majidpersona9346 I was not clear but yes. It was more about the contact between languages I wanted to talk about

France Indeed was more in contact with the Germanic tribes for obvious reasons : There is no natural barrrier between the Gallo-Roman World and the Germanic tribes, on the other hands France was completely cut off from the rest due to the Alps and Pyrenees mountains. On top of that the centre of power in France has Always been the Northern part (Paris is like 3h trains from Amsterdam) The consequence was not only France was influenced by Germanic tribes (Hence the very name of the country) but also it's latin itself completely derived from the rest.

We all Catalan speakers use the same Portuguese word for skirt, which is 'saia', but ONLY in the folkloric skirts. The used is only limited to this specific situation. If you go to see 'Falles traditional celebration' in València, it's a word for one type of cloth for the feminine and masculine dress used in Falles. [10:47] 2. For "sneekers" we can say "vambes" pronounced as /vambas/ or /vambes/ (depending on if you're in Valencia/west Catalonia, or East Catalonia +Balearic Islands). This is the casual word instead of "Sapatilles esportilles" which is the academic version, or more formal version, which is 100% acceptable and cool ,).

Hum...actually😄, there is a very valid reason why in French the words that end in "al" in the singular, end in "aux". Basically, us humans always go for the way to do things that require the less energy and an "u" or "o" sound at the end of a world requires less energy than an "L" or "ls" sound. And the evolution of the latin word "caballum" to "cheval" (singular) and chevaux (plural) is very well documented. It went like this Caballum to Caballo to Cabal to chabal ("ch" takes less energy to pronounce then "c") to chaval ("v" less than "b") to cheval (the silent "e" less than "a") to (now in plural) chevals (and the "als" was pronounced) to chevaus (that would have been pronounced "chevaws") to chevaux (where the "ux" is just pronounced "o"). Also the same phenomenom that is established in French is happening "live" in another roman languages, very specifically in the Brazilian form of Portuguese (and I suspect in some American forms of Spanish). In Brazilian Portuguese nowadays you hear many people say "Braziw", "Portugaw" or "Futebow". Maybe in some centuries from now that evolution will settle like it did in French and some countries' names will be written and pronounced very differently in Portuguese. On another note, about the translation of "sneakers" in French and Portuguese (Portuguese person here, but born and raised in France), the word "tennis" is also used in France to say "sneakers" (like in Mexico or Brazil), and in Portugal you can also say "tenis", but the more common word for it is "sapatilhas" (close to the "zapatilhas" from Argentina). I suspect that sneakers are called "tenis" or "baskets" because they were historically known to be used first in theses sports, but I'm not sure.

Viande is related to the Spanish Vianda (Game meat) and the Portuguese Veado (a deer). It comes from the Latin Vivenda (literally that which is living), but evolved to mean animals that are hunted, then the meat of those animals, to being just the generic word for all meat in French. Maison comes from Mansionem in Latin while the word related to Casa is Chez, which is a preposition meaning at the home of, like chez moi means at my place. Pomme is from the Latin Pomum, which is just a generic word for any fruit, but apples were the most common for French people so it became specific to it. Pom in Romanian on the other hand is the generic word for a tree, which comes from the word for fruit tree. Mela is from Latin Malum, which is an apple, while Manzana, Maçã, and Maçana refers to a specific type of apple, Malum Matianum, named after the famous Roman chef and horticulturalist Gaius Matius. Jupe is actually from the Arabic Jubbah, which is a type of robe worn by Muslim men, often to prayer. Most Romance languages have a garment named after the Jubbah, they just tend to all be different types of clothing. Like the Spanish Jubon (a doublet), Giubba in Italian can refer to a few different types of tops depending on the time period and region of the country, Gibão in Portuguese is a jerkin, and Gipo means the same in Catalan. Pollera actually is related to Pollo, where a Pollera is literally a chicken coup. It also was used to refer to the frames around dresses back in the olden days, aka crinolines, because they looked like a cage that would enclose chickens. Semantic shift in Argentinian Spanish caused it to refer to skirts in particular. Saia comes from Sagia in Vulgar Latin, which referred to a cloak, especially ones worn by military officials. Then Gonna is actually related to the English Gown and originally meant any kind of garment made from animal skins or furs. Falda and Faldilla are actually Germanic words borrowed in ancient times and are related to the English word Fold and German Falte, referring to the folds or pleats on the skirt. Fralda is of the same origin but has shifted meaning to refer to diapers. Why French words start with Ch while the other languages begin with C is because like how Italian C before I and E became a CH sound, Old French saw the syllable Ca become palatalized to a Kya sound and then Cha and finally the Sha sound.

• "école" shows the typical pattern in Romance languages of adding an "e" before words that begin with "s" in Latin, but "s" became silent after vowels in most French words a few hundred years ago. So "schola" (Latin) → "escole" (Old French, with the "s" becoming silent in Middle French) → "école" (Modern French, with the accent on é indicating that there used to be an "s"). • "cheval" … another typical French thing: most words beginning with "ca" changed to "cha" in Old French. Originally it was a regional thing, with some parts of France keeping the "ca" forms longer than others. In English we sometimes have both the newer "cha" and older "ca" forms in our borrowed words. (e.g., "catch" and "chase" which come from the Old French regional forms "cachier" and "chacer" … the modern French word is "chasser") • "maison" comes from Latin "mānsiō" (same as English "mansion", Spanish "mesón", Portuguese "mesão", etc.) • "jupe" comes from an Arabic word

[@BucyKalman]

In Portuguese, we say "mansão", ,rather than "mesão", to mean "mansion".

In oral and sound language for centuries, 4 centuries, French abolished the pronunciation of s, be it plural or singular, the French don't like the s, the s is an orthographic and not a phonetic letter in French, then you see that French is a language dissident artistic movement in the Roman family, this has no logic or discussion, just look at the s in Latin and old italic, in the light of logic, French is full of nonsense, in fact it is a natural artlang and only, if you look at the language with the scientific view of linguistic logic it does not make sense in many details.

In French, "viande" used to mean "meal /food", just like the Spanish word "vianda". The real term was "produit carné" or "chair" (this last one means flesh). "Viande" comes from Latin "vivanda" and means "useful for staying alive".

For water, "aqua" in latin became "awa", then "ewe", "eue", "eaue" (e-o-e) , and finaly, "eau" (o). "Manoire" actually is related to "maison", not "main". They both come from gallo-roman, the variant of latin spoken in the roman gaule. I think the original world's mean was "where you rest/recover" In latin, the world designated a place where to rest during travel, or some kind of restaurant, but in gaule, it become a way to designate your house, and then evolved into its modern forms. Also, in french, the sneakers can be called "tennis" or "basket" (the sleeker design are tennis, more massive one are basket) or "chaussure de sport" (shoes for sport).

It is much further and deeper than that, the French people created the French language for themselves for their identity and pleasure, this is the history of the Parisian, and imposed this on all of France to this day in France the Parisian is neither loved nor accepted. The Parisian elites never felt comfortable speaking Latin or Romance, because it was very reminiscent of the Roman domination and invasion and the end of their Celtic cultures and they created Parisian more than just a dialect of Latin but as a reversion, a counterpoint, a dissent, a heresy. thoughtful and purposeful grammatical and linguistic that denies Latin, the Parisian in a frank and linguistic way and even thought and an anti-Latin that uses the etymology of Latin, a parricidal son, vowels and silent consolants not pronouncing the s and the plural, being laconic and not prolix in sentences like and Latin uses inverted words that Latin vetoes the use of and does not do this under any circumstances or phrases openly abuse it. But this has another reason, more French and so because he never accepted the suppression and glottocide of the Gallic language. This is so true of the history of Parisian that Celtic groups inside and outside France preserved Gallic and today it is revived inside and outside France. The history of the Parisian language was never Germanic and was never a Germanism as many crazy denialists write today, it is something deeper and more hidden, it is a reaction to a Roman past that it does not like to talk about or comment in depth to this day on the cultural losses that resents it to this day.

Let's say to simplify and explain these differences that: Since the time of the Germanic invasions of Gaul in the 4th/5th century, France has been divided in two, to the north of the Loire, a Germanic influence and to the south of the Loire, a strong Latin heritage And just to further complicate things a little in the two languages ​​of Oc and Oïl a Celtic base. In the north langue d'oïl and in the south langue d'Oc (the two ways of saying "yes" in the Middle Ages. Current French words come from these two influences. Example: The Seine River in Celtic was called Sequana Poor quality meat = Carne (Latin) in the verb casanier=(the one who doesn't like leaving the house), we find the Latin casa in aquarelle and aquifère we find the Latin Aqua, which gave Aix in the middle ages, Eau in modern French.

About current French language policy and its acceptance in mainland and overseas French society: (facts and not my opinion) French linguist defends plurality from all over France and accepted and welcomed in France and the European Union and the world; For linguist Bernard Cerquiglini, who organized the list of 75 languages spoken in France, what is at stake is the defense of cultural heritage. "We preserve buildings, why not languages?", he told to Babel. The survey was carried out over a period of three months, with the help of other linguists, following a request from Lionel Jospin, in December last year. According to him, the fear that the European Charter will put the unity of France at risk is not justifiable. "Today, all French people speak French. This does not prevent them from practicing bilingualism. For the Republic, it is important that citizens speak at least French, and not that they only speak French", he emphasizes. The work only indicates the languages spoken in France. Among the regional languages that have seen the greatest development, he mentions Catalan. "Across the border, in Spain, everyone speaks the language. The street signs are bilingual, there are newspapers in the regional language. The French Catalan population tends to adopt the regional language increasingly," he said. In areas such as the Eastern Pyrenees, the French Basque Country and Corsica, there are schools that teach the regional language from the literacy process onwards. (HCS). The charter of European minority languages has already been signed by many language and linguistic schools and institutes in France and the European Union and will soon be sanctioned by the French state at this time due to continental and overseas popular protests.

All this is just a drift in meaning and use. Consider also French 'chez', it is a stylised version of 'chaise' as in 'seat of...' like 'seat of power' or 'country seat' as in a place where something or someone resides. Think of 'La Chaise-Dieu' (the French commune, 'the seat of God') whose citizens are called 'Casadéens'. There's a lot of historical word overlap.

okay so this french girl with this accent is cute AF.

[@Lampchuanungang]

Elysa speak french clearly to others person learns more french fastly I love her phonologu ITS cute ❤ and pedagogical. I love 😘😗 her

[@weekmix]

in Spain there are a lot of words for "sneakers": zapatillas (de deporte), deportivas, deportivos, bambos, bambas, tenis... probably more I can't recall now

[@dubmait]

Theres a few in english. Americans say sneakers, english people say trainers, in ireland people say runners.

[@joshuawalker301]

In Argentina we call it llantas (shantas) too, lmao it's the same word we use for rims/wheels of a car. I mean the wheel is the combination of both rim and tire, but y'all can get the point.

[@elisaiosmarchesius]

​@@joshuawalker301Altas shantas 😂😂

[@Xephall]

In a way, we french use those latin based words to make some specific words. For exemple: we say "viande" for meat but say "carnivore" for an animal that only eats meat. We also don't say "casa" for house but we have the word "casanier" for someone who likes staying home and almost never go out.

[@RaphaelLeite]

The "obrigado" "obrigada" comes from "obrigado me sinto em retribuir vossa gentileza" what in English means "I feel obliged to return your kindness". With time people became lazy and it became just "obrigado" (the end flexes with the genre of the person talking "o" to male and "a" to female).

Although French is a Romance language (because of the etymological origin of the vast majority of its words), its pronunciation is totally different from that of other Latin languages because of the strong Germanic (and to a lesser extent Celtic) influence. In a way, the French are an overwhelmingly Celto-Germanic people (to a lesser extent in the southern quarter of France) who speak a language of Latin origin. The pronunciation of French is very similar to that of German: for example, the sounds ö and ü are exclusively common to these two languages, as is the way of pronouncing "r" and "an" (as in "danser" = "to dance"). The "w" is pronounced the same way in French and German. In addition, around 15% of French words are of Germanic (often Frankish) origin. As recently as 100 years ago, the Germanic letter ß (called "eszett", which replaces "ss") was still sometimes used in French, just as it was in German. It has disappeared from all other Germanic countries (Austria, German-speaking Switzerland, the German-speaking part of the Netherlands and Belgium) except Germany. This is why French is by far the most Germanic of the Romance languages. And let's not forget the marked (though often under-reported) influence of the Celtic substratum: the vast majority of French place names are of Celtic origin, as are around a hundred everyday words. And a lot of Celtic names were romanized like "Lugdunum" (the actual "Lyon") : because it comes from the Celtic God "Lug" (common with "light"), and "Dun" (Fortress).

[@hakunavanmatata4729]

Majority of French people are Celtics

[@Lampchuanungang]

​@@hakunavanmatata4729 you're right bro lepontics, gauls, bretons, celtiberians are the founding fathers of french...and influenced and created all aspects of french idiom. France stills a celtic nation til today no matter what denialists says.

[@Lxz3]

Why hasn't Andrea spoken? She’s there to represent the Spanish of Spain. It’s true that many words are the same as in Mexico and/or Argentina, but others are not. I don't understand why she’s there if they didn't let her speak or they cut it off.

I like how among the 4 main languages of latin , Spanish , Portuguese , Italian and French , the one who seems and sounds more different is French arguably , Elysa is pretty cool

[@vtr.Lisboa]

5 Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian.

[@fablb9006]

The fact is that french is actually closer to italian than Spanish and portuguese are. That is the pronounciation that makes it seem different but it is not.

[@ouaset3517]

Differences between French and other Latin languages may come from the fact that the language comes from a vulgar Latin quite influenced by local Celtic languages and then by Germanic languages. Also the way of speaking as well as the "official" language comes rather from the north of France between the Paris region and the Loire Valley. It's little far from the Mediterranean rim. It is said that the place where French is best spoken is around the city of Tours. For the writing way.. So French grammar is quite old, it was made by pure scientific guys, everything is logical even if it's trigger foreigners and french people too... This is my only explanation 😅And finally, the last major reform of the language dates from 1878...

[@fablb9006]

There have been celts before roman in Spain and Italy too. As well for germanic, after the fall of the roman empire germanic people took control of Spain (wisigoths, vandales) and Italy (Lombards, Ostrogoths, etc. It is not specific to France,

You are clearly missing the mark. French has been influenced at a greater extent by Celtic and Germanic languages than any other Romance languages.

[@forgottenmind1]

@@fablb9006 According to many pundits, Celts in France have kept their language (gaulish dialects) until the 6th century. And the Gauls were very numerous. The situation was much different in Italy and Spain.

[@Lampchuanungang]

French was influenced strongely by greek and celtics idioms, Iberic and arabic too, comes from Latin, in last period of formation franks have a little influence in french 🥖🍟. The major influence in french comes from Gauls and Bretons forever.

[@FallenLight0]

Really cool video, especially because they were giving really good arguments and paying attention and thinking about the root origins. Really nice group of people. A romenian would be a must in this group, since it is the other romance language as different from the others as French, but at the same time has a lot of similarities and many words close to the original latin root.

[@Lampchuanungang]

Very trupe Bro.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Noah_ol11]

"Maison" really seems like Mansión in Spanish or Mansão in Portuguese and both means in english Mansion , but house still being most common in both Spanish and Portuguese , just Casa 🏠

[@CT-7567R3X]

We also have that word in french: "case" but that means: "cabin"

[@timcarlos]

The archaic English word "viand" means "food" or an item of food.

[@Lampchuanungang]

True comes from parisine viandé or Normand viandê. Romanics roots of English that's a Romanic lang fact. Viand in archaic english means too corned meat,salted stocked beef that the basis of current canned corned beef

[@matteoclementi]

I am Italian and I live in Spain, honestly to me the Argentine accent of the Spanish is by far the best one of all the contender. Follow up by French and then Italian.

[@franghan]

Most of the differences are from the usage of different latin words. Merci for example comes from the Latin "mercēs", which meant gift, reward or price. It was transformed into "mercit" in old french, which basically meant what "mercy" now means in english. As with most words in french, they dropped the pronunciation of some consonnents, and it became "merci". I would say it has a similar root as"obrigado" in portuguese. "être à votre merci = je vous suis bien obligé" "to be at your mercy = to be much obliged". "merci = obliged = obrigado".

[@Lampchuanungang]

All Theses words are the true etimology of mercy in english too

Viande actually comes from latin « vivenda » which was a derivated form of the verb « vivere » which means « to live ». The word changed meanings in French even though we still have the verb « vivre » which means « to live ».

[@fablb9006]

Also, the word « carne » is totally understandable as many french words are related (carnivore, incarné, carnassier, etc)

[@javier5533]

Actually in Spanish we also have the word "vianda" which was adopted from French "viande". Here it would just mean "food", but it's quite old-fashioned.

[@scully8950]

In Italian we use the word *vivanda* for food prepared to be eaten. For example "il tavolo è pieno di vivande" (the table is full of food) or "è una vivanda prelibata" (it is a delicious food).

[@marianomartinez3008]

I relationated it with "vianda" (food for travel)

[@YusufAlMansouri]

@@fablb9006 Yes ! That’s why I understand « carne » without any problem when I hear it because it automatically makes me think of « carnivore » and even « carnaval »

[@bertichatle7390]

What should be brought up is France has been way more in touch with other tribes (peacefully or through blood). So French still got the latin root which appears in the fancy french, the one from litterature, and there is the people french where every other cultures and everydays life left there marks. Or at least i think so.

[@Lampchuanungang]

💋💋💋💋💋🌹 Very pondered and pragmatic your views french have layers, the civil pop layer that have deep contacts with romanics and non romanics cultures, the french from the streets, the artistical french that we see in pictures, films, tv series and books, the militar french that uses armed forces, many levels and layers of french that a single person will never control cos any natural lang is spontaneous as well uncontrollable.
