The Sound of the Santali language (Numbers, Greetings, Words & Sample Text)

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.
Special Thanks to Bodi Baski :D
SANTALI
Native to: India, Bangladesh, Nepal
Ethnicity: Santal
Native speakers: 7.6 million (2011 census)
Language family: Austroasiatic (Munda)
is the most widely spoken language of the Munda subfamily of the Austroasiatic languages, related to Ho and Mundari, spoken mainly in the Indian states of Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Odisha, Tripura and West Bengal. It is a recognised regional language of India per the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.[6] It is spoken by around 7.6 million people in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal, making it the third most-spoken Austroasiatic language after Vietnamese and Khmer.
Santali was a mainly oral language until the development of Ol Chiki by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in 1925. Ol Chiki is alphabetic, sharing none of the syllabic properties of the other Indic scripts, and is now widely used to write Santali in India.

It's from the munda branch of austroasiatic family. And the script is damn cool. Keep it up, Andy and the one who contributed for this Santali language video !

As a Vietnamese speaker I can still find few similar words between Vietnamese and this language Ex : number 1 : mid - một number 3 : pe - ba number 4 : pun - bốn earth : dorti - (trái) đất ("đất" is the main part) moon : trãdo - trăng

Do other Austroasiatic speakers recognize anything or is it too divergent?

[@Nekomikuri]

a few of the numbers are recognizable but otherwise it sounds very simialr to hindi honestly

[@nomnaday]

Santali word for water is ᱫᱟᱜ (d̪aːg), in some Vietnamese dialects people say nác instead of nước. Nác & nước is from proto-Vietic ɗaːk. ɗaːk is kind of similar to d̪aːg. In the Muong language, it is Muong: đác, rác

Does Bengali have austroasiatic influences? Because i know Assamese has Munda and Ahom influences.

[@nikhilalbert3084]

You got it reverse. Santali and other Austro-Asiatic languages predate all Indo-Aryan languages. The Bengali and related languages sounding similar is the result of these languages influencing Eastern Prakrits and Sanskrit, which gave rise to Bengali, Assamese, Odia, etc.

[@myself5812]

@@darealg6823 he is saying austro asiatic languages predate bengali and other east indo aryan languages in east india and they must have influenced each other. They sound that way because of santali and other munda languages influence on eastern prakrits.
