The text is from the medieval song "palästinalied". Very interesting.

[@ethanpearson853]

Very Common.

[@SaigliatCSX]

Crazy how far more understandable this is nowadays than old English by a wide margin. Old English mixing with old French really made it near unrecognizable

[@MatW1lson]

German has a reputation for being conservative. English has the reputation of the Basta- (censored ;) Language. Technically, English never mixed with French; it just imported a ton of vocabulary from it. Old Norse is what actually mixed and blended with Old English. I would need to elaborate more but if you studied them all, you will see how English evolved very clearly. German does *sound* the closest to what Old English would have sounded like (but they are not mutually intelligible) compared to all other modern languages.

[@joelmattsson9353]

Old english is the stage of the language before the norman conquest, and is centuries older than middle german. And as someone who speaks only scandinavian and english, this is at least as hard to understand as old english is. Middle german corresponds in time to middle english, which is fairly easy to understand for any modern English speaker. Contemporaneous with old english were languages like old norse, old high german, and old saxon. And from my eastern scandinavian perspective, old east norse is the easiest to understand, followed by standard old norse, then old english, old saxon, and finally old high german

[@The_name105]

​@@MatW1lsonGerman is not even close to old English. Icelandic or Danish is closest. Easily.

[@MatW1lson]

@@The_name105 Nope. Absolutely what you say is out of order. I know what German, Dutch and reconstructed Old English sound like very intimately. Dutch and German sound closer to what Old English would have sounded like. Just compare them for yourself with reconstructed pronunciations of OE. They have far more similar vowel patterns and consonant clusters compared to the North Germanic languages. Dutch and German are also BOTH West Germanic languages (just like OE). Danish and Icelandic, on the other hand, are North Germanic languages. Icelandic is the most conservative germanic language being closest to Old Norse. Old Norse mixed with dialects of OE 1000+ years ago. Old Norse, Icelandic and Danish sound very distinct from any of the Western Germanic languages.

[@MatW1lson]

@@The_name105 p.s. I am talking about the *sound* and *phonology* of the languages. I am not talking about grammar and such.

[@TheDiamondBladeHD]

Very interesting to see a lot of medieval german features still being in modern dialects, especially swabian as i noticed as a speaker of that

[@hakanbjrnson124]

The prestige dialect for much of Middle High German was Swabian (eg because the Hohenstaufen dynasty were from the stem duchy of Swabia), that's probably why modern Swabian reflects such similarities.

[@hilal-nur]

I am a native German speaking person and have understood the medival German text very well. Generally we often read text in medival German at school, but mostly poems, dramas or historical texts.

[@francisgriffith9398]

Middle german vs Yiddish would be an interesting video as Yiddish is based on Middle German from the 11th century in Worms which had large number of Jewish immigration

[@EmoPineapple]

I SECOND THIS WE NEED THAT

[@helgaioannidis9365]

While I was listening I thought about how similar to Yiddish it is

[@RicardoBaptista33]

I recognized that the text is from the song "palästinalied" and I've tried it in other times to look for a modern German transcription, here it is.

[@Ama94947]

Counting in Middle German is almost the same in pronunciation as Dutch

[@cesargomez376]

Ich mag es so sehr.

[@philomelodia]

The middle German speaker gave me strong Yiddish vibes. This makes perfect sense.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Yiddish doesn't exist

Can you do more videos about Coptic language please (Egyptians language)

[@eluemina2366]

❤❤❤❤

[@PolishSound]

Next important comparision. Dziękuję. I read and published the text of the book of Genesis in Old Polish. How did it sound to you?

[@QwerTy-tu1nl]

Красивый язык,вопросов нет

[@Davlavi]

Very cool match up.

[@sarge2214]

Thanks for the video,in the next one i'd love to see Ruthenian(kievan rus') and Ukrainian languages comparison

[@DiegoAguirre1510]

You are confused about something. Ruthenian is the Austrian pronunciation of the word Rusin. The language of Ancient Rus was the Old East Slavic language, which by the 17th century had finally divided into Russian, as well as Ukrainian and Belarusian, with a significant influence of Polish.

[@PolishSound]

To tez byłoby ciekawe. U mnie są nagrania staropolskie i polskich gwar.

[@PolishSound]

@@DiegoAguirre1510 No problem.

[@solarisxyz3405]

Also klang deutsch damals mehr wie niederländisch😅

[@Sungawakan]

Überhaupt nicht

[@elvyn8709]

Middle German spoken is slightly straightforward correspond to spelling than Modern German btw.

[@angela_merkeI]

Which Middle German dialect is this? Since there was no standard Middle German.

[@AllanLimosin]

I guess the variety in which modern standard German emerged from, to say a High German variety.

[@angela_merkeI]

@@AllanLimosin Certaintly. I guess this could be an Alemannic dialect, since this sounds similar to the Nibelungenlied.

[@arjangmusic9116]

Palästinalied Walter von der Vogelweide

[@marco-rosko]

Middle German sounds exactly like Yiddish

[@aureltoniniimperatorecomun4029]

Palästinalied ❤❤❤my favorite song

[@Kryuhunhaput]

The Qntal and Annwn versions are so good

[@obinator9065]

ich mache mir die welt, widde wie sie mir gefällt

[@czechistan_zindabad]

Middle German sounds more like Yiddish than Modern German I wonder why the Rs in Modern German became gutteral

[@monddasher516]

Im a english speaker but i learn german.The word ich füttere means i feed in german

[@andreasghb8074]

some of the words in Middle German are similar to Swiss German

[@Meow-ml5hv]

I wish to hear something like common West Slavic language. We have some videos in Old Common Slavic from around 700s-900s and then some Old Polish from 1400s, I wish to hear that transition stage from around 1000s-1200s.

[@utvpoop]

Both of these and Yiddish

[@mapuche4489]

i can distinguish which one more german...

[@shayan4878]

I like middle german more

[@SuperNemeanlion]

The two German texts look pretty similar.

[@SamiC224]

Middle Germain sound like Swiss German

[@fewd3]

Can you do one comparing German to Africans I want to know how similar they are really are?

[@slimss6547]

Sounds like someone with a Russian accent is reading the German text

[@user-lb4lm9zq6d]

I think the same. I'm from Russia :D

[@elonkayembe]

Wow as a duct person I can confirm you that old german have a duct accent

[@martinranalli8572]

Is German connected to English?

[@steven_2005-z4f]

Next, I would like to see more Slavic languages such as Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Belarusian 🇧🇾.

[@richardangerer7083]

I do not like the modern transcription of the palestine song displayed here. It's bold and clunky and just tries to translate it, stripping it any poetic value it had. I made a far better one, if anyone is interested.

[@Johia_Mapping_2]

Send it here please

[@Xerxes370]

M.German sound's Like Pole trying speak in modern german

[@romantriller9880]

Middle German sounds Slavic.
