The Nubian village with crocodile pets

[@hbnm03]

I'm an Egyptian living in the US and wanted to just say that your Arabic is super impressive for someone who taught themself! I've always been curious about minority cultures and languages in Egypt, but there isn't much academia or public interest, so I appreciate this content! I think you'd be interested to research the Berber language (Siwi Amazigh) in Northwest Egypt.

[@ThePlanetProject]

Thanks! I will absolutely be coming back to Egypt to make a film about the siwa language, sadly this trip I was low on time but I would have definitely wanted to visit!

[@عقبةبننافعبنالقيسالفهري]

[@sergeantwilliepete2252]

No "minority culture" - INDIGENOUS! Arabs invaded and brought their language and Islam - as they always do when they INVADE. Arabs respect no ones culture but their own.

Love this video kid! I'm impressed and very pleased with your research. As an African American this blew me away. Only 17 years old...Wow! Great job young King. Keep up the good work and Keep looking into the Nubian languages of our people so our Heroic Ancient Queens can have their history deciphered as Egypt did and allow their story to finally be told. Peace and Blessings.

I am half-Egyptian and I find this to be really cool! In fact, I just visited Luxor and Aswan a week ago!

Two tumbs up on your Nubian language quest. You make history education so fun. Thank you for your time.

[@user-rc6pw4bc8o]

Awesome video TJ! As a 16 year old I admire your curiosity - your videos give a glimpse of hope for the real world that's waiting out there. Can't wait to see the next eps :) Stay cool!

[@adamdfc9809]

I'm 17 and I agree 100% tbh. Deadass he inspired me to pursue language learning too a high degree and not as something I "try" By the time I am 18 I'm hoping to be Advanced in 5 languages, but w'ell see, nonetheless it was literally a major turning point and a realisation that I need to put effort into my goals and pursuits in order to achieve them and TJ really lives by that I think.

[@user-rc6pw4bc8o]

@@adamdfc9809 Good luck man! I've been learning a third language atm and just picked it as a course for next year. But TJ's videos made me realise that language comes alive by pursuing genuine connections with people and focusing on their stories, not just rote learning it. Anyway lol all the best with your language learning! :D

@@user-rc6pw4bc8o Nice! I started spanish about 1 month ago along with Turkish and I've been neglecting Turkish because Spanish for me is much easier as I am already in a high level in French and the grammar is extremely similar, it's just a matter of learning vocab and pronunciation. Well I hope you reach your goals in Spanish!

[@atmaneouadah9420]

I'm impressed with how you pronounce ع ح and ق. Most non arabs cannot pronounce them

[@ThePlanetProject]

definitely took years of practice for the ayn, luckily the others exist in Persian and some other languages haha

hahaha im an american living in egypt and i say ق even when im not supposed to. ح is easy but ع only comes out when i force it. sometimes.

Another amazing video Mr Howzar XD hahahah . Your Egyptian Arabic is very good and you have done a great job here, as you always do. The villages look beautiful and the people authentic and kind. That's exactly what I like about your videos. :) You dive right into a specific culture andyou don't film usual touristic places and malls as many youtubers do when they travel somwhere. However, I would like to correct the first guy wo said that in Morocco, people use standard Arabic. Well, it's actually very different and not close to MSA at all :)

[@ThePlanetProject]

I can’t wait to travel around more around the Middle East! By the way, he was saying that they could speak MSA in addition to their dialect, I think I just cut out some context. Thank you for enjoying as always 🙌

What about the Madu netchr? That’s the original Egyptian language that the hieroglyphs are written in. Most European Egyptologist have a lot of the information wrong because the Greeks switched around a lot of the names of things as well as the meanings.

[@preslav8021]

Amazing as always! I'm very interested in Egypt lately, it's such a fascinating place and it feels surreal to think how these sights were built before Christ and are still there. I really like the idea of your search for small or lost languages, since it shows the Internet a group of people, who you can't really research well otherwise and also you represent them fantastic, feels very natural. :)

[@ThePlanetProject]

Yeah I really love the format of this series too cause it pretty much forces me to explore more interesting places which I love! I highly recommend a trip to Egypt when you have the chance, it’s so eye opening when you’re able to see the temples and pyramids and such in person and the people and culture are amazing there 🙌🇪🇬

[@preslav8021]

@@ThePlanetProject Yes, it’s also really interesting to watch something different, which shows how a local lives, in this case with its crocodile.

Amazing video! it's very impressive that you talked with them in egyptian dialect and not MSA considering the lack of material to study arabic dialects since they have no written form , if you ever think of visiting Jordan don't hesitate to contact me , stay safe and enjoy your time ! فيديو رائع !

[@ThePlanetProject]

Yeah just finding materials to learn an Arabic dialect is a challenge in itself, but it was definitely worth it when I was able to connect with people instead of having to use MSA the whole time. I’m so excited to visit Jordan, can’t wait and I’ll definitely reach out when I go 🙌🇯🇴

[@philipsweidan9382]

exactly ! , i think you will find the levantine(jordan, syrian , lebanese, palestinian) dialects easier to learn because they are not as different from MSA as other arabic dialects , will be waiting !

Your video bought back memories of my trip to Egypt last Feb, 2020.. Very Historical experience, from Cairo, Luxor, Aswan... We sailed the Nile River on a riverboat... Visited the Nubian Village, too. The residents of one home welcomed us with dance & music.. And, yes, there was a crocodile 😊 Hibiscus tea, served hot or cold, was the beverage of choice.. Quite Delicious.. I was wondering if that was the hot tea you sipped @ Amir's Spice shop TFS your experience.. 🇪🇬
