There's a sort of scientific-espionage novel, Kolmysky Heights, which is concerned in large part with the languages of Siberia. Especially Ainu and Chukchi. It was odd to see so many familiar names in this video.

[@piercemoen2269]

I appreciate your consistency in tone and animation with patron-voted content, but this feels like it wanders too much. So much of what is captivating from your videos, at least to me and the friends I share them with, is the root stories they center around, based in history and culture. These foci help make linguistic concepts feel a lot more personable than how a book would present them. This video felt breezy in that it talked about a lot of things, but said very little about them, like the fly-through mention of Yiddish in the region. I love the channel and have been following for years. Don’t want to bash, and I can’t imagine the amount of voices and interests you’re trying to please - we stan this channel so hard, I have seen how great your videos can be.

[@Chunk_Larked]

For those more interested in the Ket connection to the Dene languages in the Americas, i highly recommend looking at more of Dr. Vajda's work and presentations. Having been my advisor in Linguistics for 2 years, I can tell you that it is not pseudo-linguistic BS, it actually has a great deal of evidence behind it, especially in the morphology. Also he is a wonderful human being :D

Awesome video. I've been poking around and researching some of these on Wikipedia recently, but you dug a lot deeper and presented it a lot better than they did. And for what its worth, I'm happy with you focusing on NE Asia-its often underappreciated

[@TheoEvian]

Siberia: also known as the less popular Canada :D But to be honest, siberian languages are really interesting and I have had a look into Tunguscic because I am a Japanologist and I was for a time interested in Altaic hypothesis (and I attended lectures of one of Starostin's coleagues) before I found out that the whole theory kinda leads to nowhere and is really nice but doesn't work very well in practice. But I totally subscribe to the idea that the Yayoi people came from somewhere in Korea/Manchuria so they should count too! :D

[@mastererik323]

Fascinating. My ancestors hail from the Ural mountains, so I hope to learn Finnish one of these days. Currently studying Russian; I can barely spell in Cyrillic so far.

[@TheoEvian]

@@mastererik323 Cyrillic is easy, its pretty straightforward, just another alphabet and not much weird there (I say that as a slav who can understand the gist of a written russian sentence without having done much learning russian at all). However japanese writing is... very creative :D . Yeah, learning languages can be very rewarding, totally go for it, it can certainly be fun and a good challenge.

[@Henrikko123]

Have you considered starting a podcast or releasing simpler KZbin videos? I think that would be very interesting and garner much support. For me at least, the most interesting parts of your videos are not the animations (which are admittedly very good), but your ideas and thoughts surrounding languages.

I’m curious about the tartar influence on the Polish language- I’m not sure if it’s a significant amount but surely there must have been some in the clash and later alliance between the two cultures

[@Artur_M.]

Great question! The first word that comes to my mind, which definitely has a Tatar origin, is 'ułan' (plural 'ułani'), referring to the famously specifically Polish type of cavalry, known abroad as uhlans or just lancers. There is a number of words of Turkic origin (or even Persian or Arabic ones, that came through the Turkic languages), although some of them came to Polish probably directly from the Ottoman Turkish rather than Tatar, also many came first to Ruthenian (as Ukrainian and Belarussian used to be known). They usually have something to do with horses, weapons and warfare, or trade. Sadly many are slowly going out of use and young people that aren't huge nerds might not know anymore what a 'czambuł' or 'buńczuk' is, or even that a black horse is properly referred to as 'kary' rather than simply 'czarny' (which is the regular Polish word for black).

[@jamiew7990]

Artur M. Interesting! Thank you

@@jamiew7990 Thanks and you're welcome! I can also add that the most commonly used among those words is probably "bohater" meaning hero, derived from the Turco-Mongol honorific title "Baghatur". en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghatur Which has pretty interesting history behind it and a lot of cultural connections from India and Persia to Hungary and especially Russia.
