5 Forgotten Romance Languages. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is definitely the best comment here

A tip to dear Romanians, dear Latino and Romanian brothers, with the creations of international latin languages ​​like today's interlingua to unite romanian, ido and interlingua in a superlatin language the same goes for istriot, and istrian romanian and aromanian will clean these languages ​​of mixes Slavic and Hellenic and of course save and clean all these sister latin languages. You are Latin brothers our hugs. Hugs from Macau.🤗🤗🤗🤗🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴🇲🇴

@@Lampchuanungang Is not necessary to clean anything, the language is beautiful as it is. Thanks

@@Lampchuanungang "save and clean" Ewww purifist, the language is good as it is, no need to "purify" them.

Oh no I am sure that “never” comes up in conversation with a Romanian lol

That's so cool! Thank you for your comment!!

Yes I see that too! Is amazing! Sounds more that these languages except the last one, which is more Latin, the ones like Romanian sounds like one language with Latin influences, more than a Latin language! Like Romanian is an old language with very strong Latin influences and other influences like Slavic etc. this is a very good way to study languages by comparing! Thank you!

More like, mixed with croatian letters, many words are very similar, but indeed, there was at least 1 word that was purely slavic

As someone who speaks both Croatian and a romance language (Italian) to me it looks like croatian vocabulary slapped onto a romance grammar. For example: "neka se spune volja a te" is basically Croatian until the "a te" part which is romance.

I also noticed a few obvious Slavic words.

Also genocides from the Ottoman Empire (or perhaps I should focus more on the term linguicide)

When Greece became independent, I don't think many people in it were speaking Aromanian. Aromanian never existed south of Thessaly in significant numbers. Perhaps you're getting confused with Arvanite, which was very common in southern Greece.

Never forget Romanian!!!

What you say only proves AGAIN and AGAIN how idiot people are lacking a bit imagination. All know that the capital of the ROMAN empire was ROMA, but no one is make a connection with ROMAnia and ROMANian. But with Slavic. IDIOTS !

I never will! I've been to Romania twice and have amazing friends there. I also take every opportunity which arises to tell my favourite Scots that Romanian is a Romance language - and that Romania is a gem of a country. I get quite a few chances to do that because I'm a languages teacher. Now I just need to learn to speak Romanian! I would love to. My friends bought me a textbook but it doesn't have a CD or anything to help me with the sounds of the language.

Nice pfp

it is because the western people hate the romanians and hate any type of link with us ..for me it is ok i dont care

If you watched some of my recent videos, I talk about the revival of Dalmatian!

Some other commenters told me so over a year ago. Thank you for your comment either way!

Mirandese isn't 100% readable, I'm a Spanish and Asturian speaker and I've talking with a mirandese speaker and I can't understand him even written, only like 60% I can understand of written Mirandese.

There are about 1000s romance languages and dialects. The main ones are mutually intelligent some what but the dialects aren't.

Here in Portugal, such an adjective doesn't exist, although the noun "famagusta" exists. Fascinante!

When I learnt Spanish, I learnt the word famoso so it is interesting to always learn new words!

@@CheLanguages "Afamado" would be closer to the English "of renown" or "renowned" but still meaning pretty much the same thing as "famous" ;) In modern Portuguese you could use the terms "famoso" or "afamado" indistinctly; "afamado" being more formal and "famoso" more coloquial.

@@denovemportem obrigado

In this case, the word "proua" there means "pride".

While Spanish, particularly Castilian and Latin American varieties, is a Romance Language, it also had influence from the Arabs, Berbers, and Habsburg German.

It certainly is!

You've just guessed my most recent video that will be uploaded later this week. Stay tuned!

Latin didn't die, it developed into today's Romance language

@@fanaticofmetal in italy it’s mandatory to study latin in high school

@@s.p.a.c.e.c. Only in the first two years, and it is poorly taught. I'm an italian myself.

That's cool. They are distinct, but obviously share similar origins

for romanian nationalism reasons, i'd wager

@@pupyfan69 LOL

It's the same in Italy. We are taught that neapolitan,sicilian,lombard etcetcetc are all dialects of italian which is bullshit. Just political reasons and ignorance

@@natural783 I agree completely, they are the Italian languages

I would add Franco-Provencal and Piemontese

Is it not Piedmontese?

@@CheLanguages As I live in Torino for part of the year I was using the Italian spelling here. I don't do it deliberately, it's just habit. If I intended to be pretentious I would have given you actual dialect spelling of the name Piemonteis (Wikipedia - piemontèis or lenga piemontèisa, in Italian: piemontese)

@@giovanniacuto2688 oh I didn't know that, interesting.

@@CheLanguages i think piedmontese is an italian dialect (I'm sardinian)

I'm already planning on it!

That is very interesting. I think I saw a video about the North African dialect of Latin a while ago. It seems that North Africa, Western Asia, and Britain were the few places where a Romance didn’t appear

African Romance most likely got completely absorbed into contemporary Berber.

@@CheLanguages Ancient Egyptian was proto-Romance and Germanic (a mix). Grammar was close to Romanian, with feminine particle AT, which later became A. Reflexive voice "sa + v" : Egyptian "Sa de/di", Romanian "sa dau/dea,etc". Maat Re > madre in Sp and It, MUTTER in German, mother in En, "mitera" (pronunciation) in Greek, etc. Slavic languages used MAAT KA (Maat's soul) > ma ka > maika. The loss of T in the fem AT is documented in Egyptian, but I think a dialectal variation already lost it in early dynastic, as the name MA REA is documented (but wrongly transliterated, they made up vowels, even if the hieroglyphs contain vowels! They can be decoded properly.). Egypt and Dacia used AMAT (not mwt, which is a wrong transliteration). In both AMAT > AMA. In Romanian it became MAMA, a dual plural that is documented in the Danube script. For short, all Europe, prior to R1b and R1a separation, called MAAT RE (Sun in Libra) their mother, sacred Light, creator of everything. Egyptians called themselves Mosi Re, children of Re (the reference appears in Genesis), which became Misr in Arabic, Masr in Egyptian Arabic and Mitzraim in Hebrew (whose word mother is IMA, a loan from Egyptian). The 40000 year old proto-script of Europe > Danube script (also used at GT and Cuina Turcului) > Egyptian hieroglyphs. Deat (not Duat) comes from "Dya/deea" = light. FRE (not nefer, Coptic added prefix "na" much later on, and it's "nafre") > FAIR - identical meaning (beautiful, "fair of skin"). Hede = white (proto-Germanic word). The Sphinx is REEA (Sahamat, which is Sun in Gemini, Sah AMAT, Sah's mother, Sah = Orion, the name is wrongly transliterated as Sekhmet, but the consonants are correct, vowels are made up. SHMT). The 3 pyramids = Orion's belt. Now, using modern European astrology (yes, we must, this is about astrology), Orion's belt is Gemini 22, 23, 24. The Sphinx is conjunct the middle one - Gemini 23. Using precession (which is scientific), we calculate the time they indicate - from Gemini 23 to Pisces 5 (rounded up a bit), which is the current spring equinox. 108 degrees that we multiply by 72 years (to make up a grand year) => 7776 years ago. The Black Sea Deluge, dated by Ballard et al c 7500 ya, confirming Ryan et al (aprox timeline). The legend of Caraiman (Ka = soul, RAI = heavens in Romanian, derived from RA, MAN = eternal in Egyptian) was documented in 1927 and it is a very direct link to the Black Sea Deluge and what happened then. The giant wizard = Orion, his bagpipe = Orion's belt. The lazy sons killed the good, hard working sons, which explains what happened = Karmin et al propose a severe genetic YDNA bottleneck at the time. The legend of Herod killing all males, is also an indication of what happened - two different sources of the same myth, which turns out to be an event. Djed su = pillar rising = Orion's spine = Gemini. I think it is Bellatrix, the Saka star (Amazons were Saka). Narmer's Palette has a wolf standard - Dacia. Palermo Stone names King SAKA (the name used for all Scythians, both R1b and R1a, including Massagetae). Egyptians and other Saka had a documented dispute about who is older - R1b and R1a diverged c 25000 years ago..... This proves they kept records - and Plato-s account of the GODDESS (Reea) who created both Egyptians and Greeks is accurate, it clearly indicates Egyptians were European and it was well known. Plato also accurately pinpoints Meltwater Pulse 1b....the flood he mentions linked to Atlantis.... Sakarya = Saka Rya, SAKA Sun, river Saka RA (Saqqara). They did leave a strong linguistic trail... Asare = I, son of Re (sa = son, the duck sign). Asare > soaRE in Romanian. SARE > SORE > SOLE > SOL. Ra sa (Ra rising) > raza in Ro, RAY in En. Ra mina (Ra eternal) > La mina > lumina in Ro. Ra dya => a radia in Romanian, "radiate" in En. According to all DNA reseach papers, Egyptians were Euro-Anatolians, but we have their myth of creation and the evidence is undeniable = ancient Egypt was founded by Saka, Dacia and Anatolia... Gobekli Tepe used the Danube script > Egyptian hieroglyphs. Cuina Turcului, which is even older that GT already used the Danube script, including a unique T symbol that appears on Narmer's Palette - King Tesh' name. Saka > Saxon. Saka uber alles. Sounds familiar?

@@CheLanguages SUMMER, SOMMER is derived from SA AM RE (sa am soaRE, I have sun). Sun and son are homophones, because they're derived from Asare, son of Re, who replaced RE as the sun in the current Age (Pisces, when Gemini, Asare is Summer Solstice) - evidence - Sanziana/Sanziene is derived from San Diana > Dziana > Ziana, still celebrated on June 24, so a bit off, but still Summer Solstice, so Diana was the Sun in Cancer. Artemis is derived from RA ATAM, atam = light particle in old European and Egyptian. Atam > adam. Mesarthim (the star) in Aries (the previous astrological age) is Mes (birth) RA ATAM. So Artemis was Sun in Aries = Spring equinox, the previous age. SherATAN (star) - Sa RE Atan, son of RE ATAN - Atenism is dated to the Age of Aries and this star is also in Aries constellation. Amen might have been the Winter Solstice (the temple of Karnak is oriented to it apparently). The sky was feminine, but constellations were masculine later on, because they represented the projection of the earth, which was the masculine principle. Hera = Heat Here (Hathor's correct transliteration), married to Zeus, the bull (Taurus). "Hathor" is the Sun in Taurus, she is a cow with the SUn between the horns. Sahamat (Sekhmet, SHMT) is a tigress (STRIPES, like the Sphinx) with the Sun as halo in some sculptures. She is the Sun in Gemini (Sah amat, Sah's mother, Sah = Orion, a variant of his name). Tigers existed in the area around the Black Sea - the North until Middle Ages, in Anatolia until 1970s.

That's what I was going for! Plus it would get tiring to watch if there were no transitions. Thank you, you might want to watch part 2 as well!

Never forget Romanian! Check out Part 2 also, there are some other languages you should not forget about there too.

Many neologisms are borrowed from French

@@mihaelac2472 Not just neologisms. There is actually a dictionary containing the English words that come from the French. It contains about 15000 words. You find same spelling and meaning, same meaning but slightly different spelling, same spelling but altered meaning, altered spelling and meaning, old French spelling and same meaning. Take «grape». In French, it designate a mechanically interconnected cluster. A cluster of balloons is «une grape de ballons». «raisin» designate the fresh and dried fruit, and is followed by «sec» for the dried ones. «blue» comes from «bleu» but with flipped letters. Danger and attention have same meaning and spelling. They differ only in how they are pronounced.

@@Kualinar as swedish I can tell you that raisin in swedish is russin and blue is blå. Those words are just derived from the old germanic language. Since the word for raising and blue in all Germanic languages are similar to each other.

I once met a couple of Romanian men who stopped in our conversation to speak to each other in Romanian. They were talking about numbers (money, actually) and having a basic grasp of French, I was able to understand the private communication. I didn't let on that I understood, however.

Ah, that's an interesting history

basically the aromanians rule the whole balkan peninsula all the big bussiness and mafia is aromanian .In Romania we have Gigi Becali and his cousins Ioan Becali and Victor Becali and also Gheorghe Hagi is aromanian .

I hate it when people refer to the Italian languages as "dialects". I talk about Ligurian in one of my later episodes, I think it's Part 3

Good point, so i just subscribed

Someone already corrected me on that one but I will thank you also. It is a weird letter to use as a Shva but it gives Aromanian an unique look!

@@CheLanguages In fact they tried to adapt an different alphabet to their language, Romanian alphabet which is the Latin alphabet with some minor changes is more useful. Pronunciation is more close that it seems but Aromanians have some loans from the Greek mainly which differentiate them from the Romanians.

@@MrQ454 right, good to know

That's fine, I love anything that is interesting!

I speak mirandés, so isn´t really forgotten

Escribo en español que me expreso mejor. La distribución del Mirandés ocurre en la zona más lejana de influencia de las tribus astures prerromanas, a la ribera norte del Duero y desembocadura del Esla, perteneciendo a la tribu Zoela, los zoelas, esa zona. Ese sustrato lingüístico, la contigüidad geográfica y contacto con la región leonesa, o con Zamora, y su lejanía con la metrópoli portuguesa han favorecido la pervivencia de la lengua que, sin embargo, con la escolarización en portugués desde el siglo XX así como la falta de una escritura propia, pues se ortografía como en portugués, la han llevado a una deriva lejana del "asturiano" normativo, por otra parte solamente lengua administrativa. Yo soy asturiano y por eso me parece bastante acertado el primer comentario respecto a la influencia entre galaicoportugués y un sustrato astur.

Yes this is true. Did you mistake something I said in the video?

Obrigado!

Yeah, the comments figured that one out a long time ago and I mention it in my part 2 video. Thank you for clarifying me either way!

Hope you enjoy my other videos!

Your English was perfect until that final line where you apologised for your English! You are right by the history, but modern Mirandese is different enough to be classified a different language now. Also, the speakers themselves believe they speak a different language and sometimes I think it is down to the speakers to decide what is the difference between their language being a dialect or a different language from another.

@@CheLanguages mirandes is only astur-leonés from Portugal.

@@CheLanguages " Also, the speakers themselves believe they speak a different language and sometimes I think it is down to the speakers to decide what is the difference between their language being a dialect or a different language from another." Perhaps, albeit with a help of an army and a navy.

"The region of Miranda do Douro has been prety conected to Leonese kingdom, nowadays Spain since the early medievals times when Portugal wasn't a thing yet." Dunno. Portugal's been 'a thing' since 868 a.D.

Interesting.

Part 2 and 3 exist

Interesting, I must say I don't know much about Slovenian, language nor culture/cuisine. It seems a really underrated and beautiful country though and I'd definitely like to visit some time!

@@CheLanguages Slovak not Slovenian. Slovakia is located in the center of Europe, and was part of Czechoslovakia, and Slovenia is located in the north of the Adriatic Sea, and was a component part of Yugoslavia.

@@floringhergu3354 my bad, I know they are different countries and languages, I can usually tell but I swear he said Slovenian at first. My own confusion I apologize deeply

@@CheLanguages No. I remember it when I did some research on it

@@seid3366 OK nice one.

The Romanian alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Romanian language. It is a modification of the classical Latin alphabet and consists of 31 letters, five of which (Ă, Â, Î, Ș, and Ț) have been modified from their Latin originals for the phonetic requirements of the language.

You're welcome! Thank you for the kind comment

I'm glad to hear it, I hope you always learn something new and fascinating!

Interesting that that was the one you found easiest. Let me know what you think about the languages on my other Romance languages videos

I humbly thank you for your gratitude, your excellency Sir Doge.

Yes and no. Speaking to different people, I'd judge that it's somewhere between a dialect and a language of it's own. For purposes of this video, calling it a language makes it easier to talk about

I speak Asturleonese and I barely understand Mirandese it's a language, and it isn't that well protected, you can't even put your child a mirandese name in Portugal.

I made part 2, 3 and 4 over a year ago. I hope you enjoy!

You're an Aromanian speaker? That's awesome!

@@CheLanguages Ye , not native level due to the decline of the language but still good enough

@@katakai7117 that's really cool though. Which country do you live in if you mind me asking?

I have been interesting in a British Romance language for a long time too. I will do some research on it but from what I have read in books, Latin was never able to take any significant standing in Britannia amongst the majority of local peasant farmers and thus, similar to French in England, Latin was only reserved for the higher-ups in society but never made an impact on the majority of people's speech.

Search Brithenig for a hypotetical cheltic Welsh-oform example of britanno-romance, personally I love it.

I'm glad you found it interesting

Greetings from Romania :D. Where are you from? How is your language doing in your area? Do you and your family speak it regularly? Please inform me, I love hearing about you guys but there's few information out there

Do you think that Aromanian is derived from the language of the Daco-Romans or the Thraco-Romans?

@@Innomenatus Aromanian is derived from Gaeto-Dacians who were Thracians DacoRomanian is the Romanian spoken in Romania

Watch Part 2, I explain it! I also talk about Aranese in Part 2.

@@CheLanguages I'll see it :)

I speak Asturian and I can't understand Mirandese at all, I think it's own language, while originaring from Asturleonese it has derived a lot due to isolation and Portuguese influence.

Yes, you are correct. Romanian also has much Slavic influence, and it is pretty self explanatory why. Similar to English still being a Germanic language despite the amount of Romance vocabulary within it, Istro-Romanian is still a Romance language despite the amount of Slavic vocabulary in the language.

That's because there isn't a standardised Istro-Romanian alphabet and there are several ways of writing the language. That alphabet in particular was entirely based in Croatian. People also use one based in Romanian and a mix of both

Check out my latest videos (this one was over a year and a half ago) then tell me what you think. Thank you

It definitely went extinct in 1897 (interesting story about how the guy died btw, he was caught up in an explosion, the language literally went out with a bang) when the last native speaker was killed. However, we know what it sounds like and if someone wanted to, they could learn it fluently and bring it back. Perhaps you will be the first?

@@CheLanguages Not me, I'm of British stock. They have their own responsibilities.

@@flamencoprof I live in the UK, I am the only polyglot in my town because most English people are rather ignorant about learning foreign languages but there are a few bilinguals here nonetheless.

@@CheLanguages Sorry, I didn't mean to sound as you have taken it. I will make a parallel with my (obvious) interest in Flamenco music. It took me a few years to learn I was an outsider, and would never be considered anything else by the practitioners.

I'm aware that it's not really written, it's hard to find any written samples at all. It makes me happy to know that the younger people are still speaking it!

Thank you for the info

Ah yes, I've heard about that. It's more of a pidgin than a language though, não?

I confirmed that it is in my Part 2 when I came across another example that used the prayer

I'm Romanian, I can try to speak it matching all variants of Instro/A-Romanian and I understand 75/80% of it.

They are not all close enough for Latin to be used as a spoken language, but most Romance speakers can read Latin more or less with some basic education and a Spanish speaker could read a text in Italian and almost understand it completely, or a Portuguese speaker could read French and get most of what is written.

Yes, many other people told me the meaning already. Thank you for checking!

Actually in Asturian, the closest language to Mirandese, "afamiados" also means that!

I talk about Dalmatian in another video

@@CheLanguages That’s cool man

@@wentaosong thank you!

@@CheLanguages It’s my pleasure, keep it up with more videos man.

Yes, Spanish has hundreds of Arabic loanwords. Any word in Spanish or Portuguese beginning with Al is almost definitely Arabic, Alcova, Alcohol, Algebra, Alfresco etc. Also, instead of using the word Oliva like other Romance languages, Spanish says Aceituna, which comes from Arabic Zeitun (meaning "olives"), cognate with Hebrew Zeitim for olives

@@CheLanguages that is fascinating! Thank you!

Of course much Slavic influence hath entered the language due to it living in a Slavic Sprachbund. But overall, it is a Romance language in grammar, a bit like how English is Germanic but hath many words of foreign origin. Love Slovakia by the way!

As a Romanian, I too could understand parts of it, especially in the beginning

There is a link historically, yes

What do you mean 'there is a link historically', @CheLanguages ? _Vlach_ is what he calls both the people and the language, and it is the traditional name for the people in Demotic Greek (they are _Βλάχοι_ ) while their endonym is (according to Greek Wikipedia) _Ρεμένοι._ I think the term is used more widely by some scholars, but Leigh-Fermor (who incidentally also had some competence in Romanian, I believe) stuck with Greek usage.

Ah, maybe you meant between Vlach and Walachian. I didn't realize that was disputed - I thought the latter a Latinization of an earlier form of the former.

@@johnleake5657 They are not disputed; Walachian is a English translation of Vlach, and it designates an inhabitant of Walachia (Țara Românească=The Romanian Land); Vlach was the exonym used by the Slavs to designate a Romance speaker for instance, the names for "Italy" in Polish and Hungarian are derived from it. The Romanians have always called themselves Romanians - români and Aromanians called themselves Aromanians -armãnji/rrãmãnji ; it is the peoples around them that called them Vlach.

I still need to visit Guernsey (and Jersey too), they are two places in my own country I've never been. Perhaps I'll talk about Guernesiaise and Jerrais in a future video

Unlikely given that the structure of Albanian does not derive from Latin, having a huge amount of loanwords from Latin doesn't make a language Romance, vocabulary isn't everything

@@julianfejzo4829 But the word for "speak" is pretty basic. It's not slme exotic word or tech word, it's basic. Yet falo in Portuguese is I speak, fola in Albanian is I spoke. Dayyummm, that one woke me up!

@@robertjohnson5838 fola is the past tense of the verb flas or flet, which is not a Latin loanword but a native one.

@@CheLanguages older Portuguese is Galician.. And old castillian was similar too. Modern Portuguese and castillian have evolutioned a liitle bit more than modern Galician. Mirandes is the same that astur-leonés but influenced by modern portuguese phonetics, still it is the same thing.

Only 19% of the modern Hungarian vocabulary is Uralic. They adopted many words from Turkic, Germanic, Greek, Slavic and Romance origins.

@@CheLanguages Multe provin din mongola!

Check out my other videos, I'm sure you'll be just as amazed, I made another 3 videos on Romance languages!

Now that's surprising to hear actuallt

we do not understand a word of polish lol we de have slavic words but that is like 15% of the total vocabulary and the rest is latin so it is your problem you couldn't understand..Of course you being a proud italian you don't like to know that our languages are related because you most probably have a dislike for the romanian people haha

It's actually closer to Spanish than Portguese, I understand it because of my familiarity with Romance languages, especially Latin.

You're right, and they still do. Türkiye is one of the only places where Ladino survives "in the wild". The Ladino spoken in Türkiye is it's own dialect with lots of Turkish influence, and there's even a Ladino newspaper in Türkiye today called Şalom!

What?

Sì!

f%ck them

Check out the other videos, I have it there...

Maybe in Part 3?

I think that is the original text, though it was over a year and a half ago when I made this video. Thank you for your comment!

@@CheLanguages yeah, maybe pin it so other ppl can see it? Great content overall!

@@somedude8468 I already have a pinned comment on this video, only one person can get it

@@CheLanguages oh ok

@@CheLanguages just realized, "che languages" are you argentinian? Porque yo si gil jajajanaja

Sounds pretty accurate from what I can tell

@@CheLanguages There are cases in Aromanian but still many NEVER cared to write the language and verb conjugations and declensions down! Mainly because they are wearing special horns in their heads and are literally the c word! There is nothing wrong with Aromanian language, it is an incredibly rich language, there is MUCH wrong with Aromanians who usually are sellouts and suffer inferiority complex. But some of the flaws come from being unjusted and not having a country. Or having many. Aromanians become integrated and become the one with the majority like in Greece but still suffer from severe psychological issues and inferiority complex!

19.4 in Romania, 2.6 in Moldova, 4.5 in diaspora (living abroad) = 26,5 million total NATIVE Romanian speakers. Another 4 million people learned it as a second language abroad, bringing the total number of speakers to 30,5 million So yes, the number in the video is wrong but 19 million is also off by quite a bit.

@@wallachia4797 yes I'm not against what you said. I said that Romania has 19 million people not 31 million. But yes as a sum Romanian speakers are of course more than that.

I got the numbers from Wikipedia. Take the battle there, I know it is not always the most reliable source but that is what it said...

@@CheLanguages yes, but it might be some mistake. There are not 30 million people in Romania but approximately 20. That's all I said

@@georgios_5342 he was talking about the total number of Romanian speakers from planet earth 🌎
