The Indo-European Family

[@Indo-EuropeanOfficial]

On the diagram of Schleicher's tree model, I accidentally have the labels for "Slavo-Germanic" and "Balto-Slavic" switched around. You can check the research document linked in the description to see the original image of the tree.

[@Dollusionist]

great video, i appreciate what must be the insane amount of research you put into everything. i look forward to the next one!

[@Indo-EuropeanOfficial]

Hiring a passionate researcher has definitely helped to bring my channel to the next level.

[@kornsuwin]

i love the verdana jumpscares from when the font you guys use doesn't have a glyph for schwa

[@FeHearts]

The thing I love most about this channel is that it gives you the origins of an idea. As a lover of history it allows one to connect the dots of why a certain people at a certain time believed something when you know what terminology was popular when and where.

[@FOLIPE]

Awesome video, great amount of work.

[@ItsFineWW]

Best private academia on KZbin right now. Great work and editing. Loved the recommended and shown books of original and translated titles so one can read where the ideas and comparisons came from . Very interesting stuff!

[@jeanneslepeshau]

i still wonder to this day how many Indo-European branches were lost forever simply because they were never written

[@deithlan]

This is an amazing video, probably the best introduction to the family I’ve ever seen.

[@jvanvuren5399]

excellent video

11:17 it would be amazing if someone took the wave model and had it come twords us along the Y axis changing. Computers dont limit us to X and Z anymore, we can add the time dimension if anyones willing to make the animation.

I was looking something to watch and this gem was just suddenly uploaded, neat!

[@K2ELP]

Leaving a comment for the algorithm, as I like all 3 videos this channel has uploaded so far very much

[@ricardotabone3231]

This an absolutely fascinating video. 💯 The very best in the subject! Thank you very much! It's wonderful to see Ferdinand's contribution even though Neogrammarians were not Saussure about that 😂

[@colinsingleton3810]

Fascinating. Thanks for all the research this must have entailed.

[@jacobknepp2925]

Great channel. Very interested in historical Lingustics

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

An interesting thing if you know grims law is if you take proto germanic and undo it the resulting language sounds very baltic to my ear.

[@pasmal_lesbzez]

Fantastic video! Showed this to my gf as an introduction

[@lyvras]

a very interesting video and a good jumping block for the next video!

[@Luki25317]

17:06 It was the palatalised /ḱ/ sound such as in the word "ḱm̥tóm" and not "plain" /k/ which became /s/ etc. in satem languages.

[@Luki25317]

Therefore there has also been a different sound change in Latin etc. from /ḱ/ > /k/.

[@ferdi5407]

Could not manage to follow linguistics - too immersed in this amazing , 'climb into your soul' VOICE!! Will have to watch again ( many times)

[@854gabryel]

I think the amount of effort and the quality of this video are very high. Only one thing I found a bit annoying was spelling each work’s complete name in whatever language. I was wondering why it was neccessay. But don’t mind me. Nice informative video nonetheless

[@GrimLordofOregon]

Very informative!

[@Indo-EuropeanOfficial]

Thanks for pointing it out, I will make a pinned comment.

[@liquidoxygen819]

I actually don't understand why the Neogrammarians felt that Laryngeal Theory didn't accord with their own views... isn't it positing a systematic sound change in the Neogrammarian tradition to resolve seeming exceptions?

[@6515cg]

Yes, but until hittite, it was only a theoretical, without ‘textual’ evidence. It’s like as if Saussure was pointing at a void, and the rest simply said “I don’t see anything!” Only after Hittite decipherment could the ‘void’ be filled with a tangible lagyngeal. Now there was actually visible evidence of a phoneme having existed beyond its ripple effects that it left on the surrounding vowels.

[@liquidoxygen819]

@@6515cg But to me, it seems that his proposal would still neatly comport to exactly what the Neogrammarians wanted. I’m surprised they didn’t jump on board with the prediction

[@meteorname]

I love that you put effort into pronouncing German correctly!

[@olbiomoiros]

There’s also the Greek φράτηρ not meaning brother but kinsman. It is not a loan word.

[@AveragePsychologist]

Amazing video! Could the languages be classified like this? Did some research and ended up making this chart: 1. Anatolian. 2. Tocharian. 3. Germano-Italo-Celtic. 3.1. Germanic. 3.2. Italo-Celtic. 3.2.1. Italic. 3.2.2. Celtic. 4. Paleo Balkan. 4.1. Albanian. 4.2. Graeco-Armenian. 4.2.1. Greek. 4.2.2. Armenian. 5. Indo-Slavic. 5.1. Indo-Iranian. 5.1.1. Indic. 5.1.2. Iranian. 5.1.3. Nuristani. 5.2. Balto-Slavic. 5.2.1. Baltic. 5.2.2. Slavic.

[@wotislife2410]

In the last Proto-Indo-European family tree you didn't put Manx or Cornish in the tree.

[@pasmal_lesbzez]

He omitted many individual languages within the branches. Otherwise the tree would have been too big and unreadable

[@an0nycat]

Oh! Easy! Flame in Russian is Plamea, Five=Piat, mother=mater, three=Tree, tree=drevo. So just need change F to P, T to D, TH to T. English is a very strange language. And who invented the sound TH when there is just T. 😅😅🤔🤔

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Why do you pronounce german words with "g" as if it was "h"? Its August not Auhust.

[@mc5574]

1:28 Netherlands are not included, lol

[@lloydgush]

The out of ukr guys got vindicated.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

2:07 that is not e, that is ē, vowel lengh man, it matters. Imagine if the /i/ in ease /i:z/ and is /iz/ was pronounced the same by someone, uninteligable speach.

[@alaksiejstankievicx]

In the last diagramm the Belarusian (and debatably Ruthenian) is missing.

[@josepheridu3322]

I wonder if early indo-Europeans people had any kind of communication with Sumerians. Maybe they exchanged some words.

[@nyko921]

Seems unlikely as they inhabited different sides of the caucasus range, and to this day the caucasus is still extremely difficult to traverse

​@@giorgospapoutsakis5271 I'm honestly bewildered by the fact that the god awful meme even made it this far, because the way I remember it is that the first people to have pioneered this god awful comment trend are Pyrocynical's slop viewers, which now just goes to explain why every time I read the comment format reused by someone it irks me somehow

All Indo European nations should be united. It would be good for the broader culture and global stability.

[@S.J.L]

@@zvidanyatvetski8081 Yes, the main country and ethnicity needed to pull of anything. Nothing worth doing is easy but it is an obvious and practical aim. If you have any valid criticisms then I'll hear them but you have revealed nothing so far but your own bias.

[@RogerRamos1993]

Not united as in one country, you mean? That would be a hellava country.

[@S.J.L]

@@RogerRamos1993 That would be. I'm thinking more along a NATO like alliance and core trade network with a revival of Indo European religion and culture. This would also favor migration between these nations. I'd like to see us less involved with the middle east politically and spiritually. I realize China is a bit hostile but I think we can have a broadly United Eurasia with Eurasianism and Atlanticism in union. I realize Iran is a hard case but I think bringing India into this alliance and encouraging a cultural revival in Europe and the Americas is doable and necessary.

[@S.J.L]

Some alliances and even redrawing of borders or defacto unifications are sensible but I'm ultimately for national sovereignty and voluntary cooperation. That said a nation must be able to stand on its own two feet or it's not naturally viable.

That term is more so used for the Indo-Iranian languages, since that's a shared term used by both the Indic and Iranian branches.
