[@YouTubdotCub]

ah, sorry this had copyright issues, it was a great video! I'll leave it to play to the end to give you the algo juice to climb back up!

[@strawberryturtle1815]

first, wow never been first before, anyway, exited for the video. languages before the main language of a place is really a cool subject that i think has practically infinite stuff to find.

Would have been cool to hear the language spoken.

[@NoahSpurrier]

Is the linguistic origin of the Ainu language known?

[@crazywinders]

00:20 saying Sapporo but actually showing Hong Kong??

[@GustafUNL]

Oof. Copyright issues stink huh. I had a problem with that recently.

[@jeandelepiechat]

ainus are actually considered to be the natives of not only Hokkaido but the entire japanese archipelago, being associated with the jomon culture

[@danielbriggs991]

Well yes, their region certainly extended significantly south of Hokkaido. But there could have been other related and unrelated language groups instead represented by Jomon culture in the southern half of Honshu and further south.

The Kumaso were an Austronesian people that lived in Kyushu and were conquered by the Yamato kingdom in the middle of the Kofun Period.

I enjoyed your presentation very much. I live in Japan, am a qualified Shinto priestess, and aware of the deep connection between Ainu culture and Japan's indigenous religion, but even now, I encounter very little information in Japan. There is still a tendency to discriminate, unfortunately.
