cantonese is a gigachad language the characters are "the same" (mostly) but the way they are used and the way sentences are structured are completely different., and its spoken all around the world like in asian american communities and south east asia too -- pair it with the fact that its way more culturally relevant and just better sounding compared to mandarin and i think it deserves to be way higher on the list. the only problem is that its near impossible to learn it academically unless you were born into it (which makes it that much cooler)

In fact, the difference between the characters of Cantonese and Mandarin are not only traditional and simplified, the character itself is different, because their vocabularies are different. For example, "I'm going home by bus" in Cantonese : 我搭緊巴士返屋企 in Mandarin : 我正在坐公交车回家 Obviously, there is only one character is the same "我", means "I". Cantonese and Mandarin, their characters, tones, pronunciations, vocabularies are very different (grammar are slightly different). So their mutual intelligibility by speaking is almost 0%, and even the writing system mutual intelligibility is about 30%~60%, depens on the content. There're about 100 million Cantonese speaker in the world, it's a so interesting, potential and beautiful language :)

[@dawnwatching6382]

People say Mandarin is much simpler to learn than Cantonese, though (at least for someone speaking a European language first). Is it true? I really wanna learn one of them and while I lean towards Cantonese but always get scared off lol

[@mirae9163]

@@dawnwatching6382 I don't want to scared you, but yes, overall Cantonese is harder than Mandarin, especially the characters. But there's one point that many people think Cantonese is easier than Mandarin: Mandarin has many different words which are sharing the same pronunciation. And I think the most difficult things of Cantonese are a great deal of slangs and the ending words which contain emotion and feeling of the speaker. But I think it's also the most interesting things of Cantonese :)

bruh, Polish has 7 (but two of them make the same sound) standard vowels (a, e, i, o, u/ó, y) and 2 nasal ones (ą, ę), but they are always short, that's why the language may sound vowelless for some people.

Cantonese is spoken in Guangdong and Guanxi provinces, Hong Kong, Macao, many southeast asian chinese diaspora and many Chinatown in the world. It is included in the top 20 most spoken languages in the world with around 80 millions speakers. A lot of characters are unique to cantonese, and not really used in mandarin, and mandarin vocabulary and grammar sound often so formal to cantonese speaker 😂. Mandarin speaker use words that will be only used in poem in cantonese 😂. For me it sound way more stylish than mandarin because it don’t have all these “zh ch sh j q x z c s r” sound, it just have “z c s”. Also, if learn Hong Kong canto, you can encounter a lot of english loanwords + traditional characters are GIGACHAD.

[@OVXX666]

[@thelias91]

saying “the characters are mostly the same so it’s not interesting” is like saying “i’m not interested in french because the alphabet is mostly the same as english”. The grammar and vocabulary of cantonese differ often with mandarin. In mandarin you say “你是美国人吗 ni shi meiguoren ma ?”, in cantonese you say “你係唔係美國人呀 lei hai m hai meigokyan ah ?”, you can also say “你是美国人吗 nei si meigokyan ma” in cantonese, but it’s only used in a formal way.

Also mandarin have more homophones because it have less tones, cantonese don't have this problem.

I guess I'll leave my thoughts on some of the languages in the video (not all of them, because I don’t have much to say about all of them and the comment would be way too long. :P) *Danish* - seriously, Danish looks and sounds grand! I love the Danish vocabulary, its letters, its sounds, and the whole package. I'll certainly consider learning it after I learn German and Dutch. And I can't wait to try and pronounce the hilarious soft D or what they call studs! *Arabic* - Arabic is also awesome! Its writing system is SO cool, as well as its phonology. Arabic is one of my choices for languages I want to learn without a doubt. I can't quite read Arabic yet, but I will one day. I have its alphabet memorized, so there's a start. *Swedish* - I was really surprised to see you place Swedish in average instead of dogwater! Swedish looks pretty easy to learn and I'm sure I would have a fun time with it. It also has the å, and since I'm going through a phase where I obsess over Germanic letters, I would be way more than happy to use it in my texts when speaking Swedish. *Norwegian* - I heard English speakers can learn the language really easily, so I might give it a shot. It has the same alphabet as Danish with the æ, å, and ø, so why would I not try it? *German* - As previously stated, German is one of the languages I plan to learn. (I started last weekend and am loving it so far!) My friend speaks a little German, so I'll be really excited to speak with him in German! Also, German has the Eszett, or ß! I was obsessed over this letter for several months on end, and I still love it, so I can see myself peeing on the walls over how excited I am to finally use a word with the ß in it! *Somali* - I looked at Somali’s alphabet, and WOAH! But that’s about it, rofl. *Greek* - bro, Greek. My love for the Greek language goes WAY back. Back in the day, I used to be obsessed with mathematics, and as you may know, Greek letters play a huge role in mathematics. I was really interested in the letters of Greek, and so I looked at its alphabet and immediately grew attached to it. It has δ, ζ, β, λ, μ, ξ, ς, ω, just so many cool-looking letters! My favorite at the time was ω because of my obsession with a thing called infinite ordinals at the time and because of how it looked. Another thing, the name of this letter and a different letter is how my username originated! Anyways, Greek was also the first language I tried learning, but that didn't go well… at all. I tried learning it through DuoLingo, but I didn't learn any useful vocabulary at all and felt like I was just pressing buttons as a chore. Greek reminds me of those bad memories, but I'll try and shake those off if I try learning it again, and next time using different learning resources. *Dutch* - again, as previously stated, I plan to learn Dutch! (After German, though.) The Dutch G is my single most favorite sound in any language, and I absolutely can't wait to start using it within my speech! I already know I’ll have a blast learning Dutch. *Russian* - so, the thing with Russian is I absolutely adore the language. In fact, it might still be my favorite language today. The only problem with it is its vocabulary; no matter how hard I try, I just can't put sentences together because the vocabulary won't stick in my head. It makes me really, really sad, but the ability to know how to read Cyrillic is nice I suppose. I recently paused on studying the language in favor of German, but I might pick it back up one day. *Japanese* - I will just say it, Japanese is a cool language. I think it is a really unique language for having three different writing systems that work together in harmony to create full sentences! There are a few things that make the language a force to be reckoned with, such as the thing I just mentioned, the radicals, the grammar, and more. But just be thankful the language doesn't have tones!!!!!!!!! Also, I find it cool how some of the loanwords in Japanese are borrowed from English. And lastly, I was shocked when you put Japanese in beta. *Korean* - Korean just… has this aura for me that makes me not like the language at all. I’m not sure why. *Polish* - I think Polish is a really cool and interesting language! I heard the language's grammar was extremely complex, tedious, and convoluted, which is what really sparked my interest in the language. At the time, I thought it would be cool if I could speak a language with complex grammar, and Polish was the first one I ever heard of with complex grammar, so I started to adore the language even more! I hold a soft spot in my heart for Polish. *Hebrew* - it must be really hard for language learners to not accidentally read the entire bible in one sitting while studying Hebrew. No, but seriously, I think Hebrew is almost, if not, just as cool as Arabic is! The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the other letter that gave birth to my username along with the Greek letter ω. This was mainly because of the mathematics I was into at the time, but it still is special regardless. Anyways, Hebrew's alphabet reminds me a little of the Latin alphabet, which I love! And on top of that, it reminds me of Arabic's alphabet since it is an abjad and the letters work similarly to Arabic's letters, so it makes me love it even more! It also has the Dutch G in it along with some semitic phonemes, so that just makes the language even more worth learning in my eyes! I can't see myself going the rest of my life without learning Hebrew. *English* - I'll replace the British and American segment with English so I can talk about the language in general. Despite what a massive set of people think, I believe English is a beautiful language. It does a lot of things other languages normally can't (or don't) do and is overall really unusual compared to other languages, and I mean that in a good way. You don't think so? Well, get this: we capitalize the first-person subjective pronoun I in any given scenario. Also, we have silent letters here, which isn't that unusual, but the most notorious of them all is the silent E, which does a lot for us! As does C, Q, X, and any letter of the alphabet, really. They all have an excellent reason for being there even if it may not seem like it at first. *Vietnamese* - Vietnamese is such a cool language, and I don't care if anyone says otherwise. The language has a total of 89 letters in it, about three fourths of those letters are tone letters, but that is what makes it fun! Much like Hebrew, I will learn this language. Mark my words. *French* - I view a lot of languages higher than I do French, but that doesn't mean the language is bad. When the bar is set high, you have tough competition, and with that said, French isn't as appealing to me as a lot of other languages are, and neither is Spanish. Though, it does use the Latin alphabet with lots of diacritic letters and œ, which is neat. *Mandarin* - Mandarin has the most simplistic grammar I have ever seen in a language, which made me really interested in it. I also considered learning it, and to this day, I'm still considering it. It would seem easier than Japanese considering you only get the characters instead of the syllabary, but I have no clue if the radicals work the same way or not. *Icelandic* - Icelandic also uses two other Old English letters, those being Ðð and Ææ. Ð made the TH sound, but the voiced version instead of the voiceless version as þ does. Æ sounded a bit like the E in spend mixed with A in cat. I'm not sure if they do the same thing in Icelandic, but it is a cool language regardless! Oh, they also have á, é, í, ó, ö, ú, and ý in the alphabet, so you'll have a pretty fun time learning it if you do. (Despite how those last letters look, they aren't tones, but instead are their own letters with their own unique sounds!) Icelandic is awesome. *Afrikaans* - you know, Afrikaans was one of the Germanic languages I wanted to learn before the others, but after thinking about it more, it wouldn't be one of my first picks. What interested me about it was its near-identical sentences to English, but that is really it. *Tagalog* - this is embarrassing to admit, but I saw an animation of one of my favorite games, and in it, they were speaking Filipino, which I heard is basically the same as Tagalog, so that immediately made me like the language a lot more. So, I could definitely see myself giving a shot at trying to learn the language one day! Thanks for reading.

It's also known as the most sweetest language in the world which is spoken in north-east india and Bangladesh.

I assume you're a Bengali lol, but that's true for almost every language that has originated from the Devnagari script (Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Nepali, Assamese, etc.)

A native Turkish speaker that also speaks Polish here (lived in Poland for 5 years). Tbh, pronunciation is very straightforward once you learn how to pronounce each letter and the combinations. Speaking Russian is also a big bonus for you, I guess the only thing that you'll struggle with will be not messing up the conjugations etc (for example, for singular 1st person conjugation, unlike Russian it wouldn't be ю sound but ę, or -am). That's what my native Russian speaker friends were struggling with.

[@HeII0-_-w0rlld]

Persian is different than Farsi, the Arabs started to document and use the Arabic script only when Islam came along. Then it was introduced to the Persian and they started to use the Arabic script after they became Muslim. Before that they used the Pahlavi alphabet. A lot of people thought Arabic before islam was only a spoken langueg and with the start of islam and the need of documentation, they started to write. But that's not true Arabs had almost always had a script, but thought of writing as a weakness. If you could memorize pages on pages of poetry, you wouldn't need to write down your groceries list. The Arabic script was influenced by Nabataean tribes script, and not Farsi.

So there’s multiple scripts that come to Hebrew. There is print, which is probably what you see most the time. But most people write in handwritten script, while our italics are written in Rashi script. Hebrew wasn’t really a dead language, however it was mostly used for writing to other Jews around the world as well as used as a scholarly language. However, many texts were also written in Aramaic. Calling it a dead isn’t that fair because it was still spoken and read, however diasporic languages were used more often as a halfway point between Hebrew and the surrounding language in the diaspora.

[@Luka__1]

As a serb I gotta tell you that serbian is a very beautiful language. It is very close to Russian, but the vocabulary and spelling are 100x more intuitive and easy. For example, we have no vowels like Я or ё, we just have the letter "J" (й), and we combine with A to create "Ja" or "Јо". Serbian is a phonetic language, which means that if you learn the alphabet, you will know how to read the language. We also have no symbols such as ь or "ы" in our cyrillic alphabet. We simply combined the letters Н and Л with ь to create "Љ" and "Њ" (Ly, Ny) If you like russian but hate the grammar, you should definitely learn serbian, but if you don't want to learn cyrillic, you don't have to, you can just learn our modified latin alphabet which isn't even hard (everyone on the internet uses the latin alphabet for serbian, only hard nationalists and institutions use cyrillic). It's a shame they don't have it on duolingo, even though over 20 million people speak it.

[@withoutshadowww]

Serbian language is considered a bit more difficult than Russian, although it's easier to read it due to its phonetic nature... When it comes to pronunciation -- for a lot of people Russian is actually easier as it is softer and has less consonants than Serbian + Serbian has more accents.

[@pandemoniumkid]

[@texmexexpress]

*Persian* is one of the oldest spoken languages known to mankind with a record of 3500 years and the richest literary legacy in the world. It is a *classical language of antiquity* and the historical lingua franca of higher arts, culture and sciences in West, Central and South Asia. Persian words in English include "paradise," "pyjama", "rice," "amazon," "rose," "saffron," "asparagus," "spinach," "shawl," and "pistachio." Persian is written in the *Persian script (پ گ چ ژ).* The Persians played a crucial role in the refinement and legibility of the script by inventing accent marks. The writing system would have lacked the necessary features to accurately represent the phonetic nuances in any language without the introduction of diacritics and dots by Persians. It expanded the script's versatility, allowing for the recording of many languages, even beyond the Persianate realm. As for language classifications, Persian is a member of the *Indo-European language family.* It shares fundamental characteristics in terms of both grammar and vocabulary with its relatives like Latin, English, French, and Russian. Words like "baradar" for brother, "madar" for mother, "pedar" for padre in Spanish (father), "dokhtar" for daughter, "to" for tu in French (you), "andar" for inter, "do" for dos in Spanish (two), "zamin" for zemĕ in Croatian and zdmyla in Russian (earth), and even "shahr" for "skaan" in Old Norse (city), show the strong and old ties of this language family. This similarity in language is due to the *Proto-Indo-European expansion* that originated from the steppes of Central Asia, from where the customs and practices of Indo-European peoples across both Europe and Asia derive.

Hebrew sounds that way because ח used to make its own sound (the same sound as خ) but in Modern Hebrew it became identical to כ‎, which produces the sound you're noticing. So it appears twice as much as it originally did (actually, ח is more common than כ, so it might be as much as three times).

I can completely understand that Norwegian sounds comparatively boring. The dialect of Oslo and its vicinity which is most commonly heard is positively boring; it’s roughly the oral equivalent of bokmål and in terms of American I would liken it to the general US&A accent. However, one redeeming feature of Norwegian is in my opinion the written form of nynorsk. It’s closer to old Norse than Swedish or Danish, but it appears to be dying, and I guess one would not expect otherwise. But this was presumably a good list, all things considered.

*Hungarian:* is hard, has many cases, has vowel harmony → Dogwater. *Finnish:* the same, but maybe a bit easier → Alpha. 🤔😅 Finnish language sounds interesting. It has a rythm that makes it unique and funny. I'm not sure that do I actually like it or just find it strange. 😅 Maybe one day - if I'll be still interested -, _maybe_ I'll start to learn it. Now I learn Slovak from videos. I have no other reason to learn it, just because it sounds good. ❤ I know, it seems ironic from a Hungarian, but it's not a joke, I do actually like that language. I think Slovak is the most beautiful slavic language. It is similar to Czech, but better. And Slovak doesn't have that strange-sounding "ř" that Czech have.

Of course there are a lot of foreign words that doesn't exist or no exact or close translation in Tagalog so we use the American words usually for example. BUT Filipinos are just too lazy to use their native words for specific things in daily conversation and I blame the education system and the media because of that. Spoken Modern Tagalog mostly in the capital region is a dogwater. But Tagalog in poetry, music and literature is an absolute Gigachad.
