A Sakha linguist here☺️ Thank you for including our language into your video and yes, as it is already mentioned below in the comments, the clips represented here poorly demonstrate the Sakha language, but I guess it was just difficult for you to find good ones without actually knowing the language 😊 sadly, most of the Yakut films do not have English subtitles but I can suggest you “Haulout” (2022) and a short 2022-cartoon movie Тымныы Оҕуһа - Бык Холода - Byk Kholoda (literally - The Bull of the Cold) Oh and there’s also a Novgorodov alphabet of Yakut language which was widely used in the republic in the beginning of the 20th century and which btw was based on the Latin alphabet. I wish we still used it because it would become more accessible to foreigners, and we would be able to have “direct relationships” with other languages, without Russian always being an intermediary language 😑

I speak Inuktitut, as well as two other Native American languages spoken in cold climates, Cree and Maliseet. It is a truly fascinating language. The writing system is very atypical for abugidas - all an abugida really is is a writing system where vowels are not outright written, but attached via some sort of diacritic. The turning of the symbols is pretty unique to Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which is the name of the abugida that is used to write Inuktitut. The biggest difference from English when it comes to Inuktitut & other Native American languages is its polysynthetic nature, where singular words represent entire sentences by way of affixes and conjugation. Absolutely fascinating.

Heh, I did wonder if Mongolia and the Sakha Republic would appear on here. I am learning Mongolian. And somebody did send me a handbook on the Yakut/Sakha language once but dunno if I'll try learning it, Tuvan is what I plan to focus on once I've got my Mongolian to a good enough level, maybe one day I'll give Sakha, but depends how many languages it is viable for me to learn before they start impacting each other, however, resources on Yakut as scarce for English speakers, heck, more so than Tuvan but might be better for Russian speakers. And I keep running into reasons why I should learn Russian. And the Yakut channel you showed, Kiun B, is one I am subscribed to because she does some pretty awesome videos on Yakut life. I highly recommend her channel if for anyone fascinated by other cultures & their way of life, because she does some pretty in depth videos of documentary quality. And living out there does seem kind of insane, but they're pretty well adapted to it. With the Turkish, I was thinking "could this be a Siberian Turkic republic" and was thinking along the lines of Yakut, well, glad I at least go the right language tree. I didn't expect Turkey because I always think of it as a hot place.

I'd hardly say that Inuktitut was "endangered." It's the official language of Nunavut, the language spoken in the legislature, used in newspapers, television, business and schools. Walk around town and there are signs everywhere in the language --- including every stop sign that says "ᓄᖅᑲᕆᑦ ". Everyone except recent arrivals from the south speaks it. Bands and singers sing in it (I can think of 23 offhand, one of whom, Susan Aglukark, is a major Canadian recording star). It's not going to vanish. If anything, it has a very bright future.

@@storylearning Nunavut was made its own Territory in 1999, and has been progressing rapidly in autonomy. Yesterday, the Federal Government finally completed devolution of title and authority over more than 2 million square kms of land to the Territory, giving the Inuit people complete control of all resources. The celebration shown on CBC News yesterday, with Prime Minister Trudeau dancing with the crowd shows the exhuberance and optimism in the territory: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MTlOw-pEN84.html I have to admit that Trudeau's pronunciation of Inuktitut wasn't bad. Indigenous Inuit are 85% of the population of the Territory. There were worries about endangerment of the Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun languages in the past, with the schools dominated by teachers from the south, who sometimes spoke the languages poorly, if at all. But in 2000, the Territory launched a 20-year language plan to create a "fully functional bilingual society, in Inuktitut and English" by 2020. Now in 2023, most of its goals have been reached. There are still textbook problems and it is difficult to find fluent teachers for senior grades of high school.

You know what's weird Olly?! In the first video, the woman spoke Hindi/ Urdu so I thought it'll be somewhere in the Indian or Pakistani Himalayas!

@storylearning 4 месяца назад

That was a little misleading!

@my_graphics 4 месяца назад

Its either Hindi or Urdu language and not the Turkish Language in the very first clip. I am a native speaker.

Good catch! The Turkish language part comes later.

It's a particular place in Turkey. Keep watching. You won't regret it!

I'd argue that the Sami languages are among the coldest.

*second coldest capital with an annual average of 3.9C. Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, seems to have the first place, with an annual average of 0.2C.

Id rather go with Elfdalian, it's more culturally related to Scandinavia than Sami will ever be.

I am terribly sorry, geography nerd here: Yakutsk is nowhere even near the North pole (Olly said smth like 260 miles fromthe NP). Which of course doesn’t change the fact that Yakutsk and the Sakha region are among the coldest on Earth (if not the coldest, Oymyakon n Yakutia/Sakha actually being the coldest inhabited place). There are places which are nearer to the North pole and not as cold, Greenland for example. Yakutia is this cold because of the extreme continental climate.

None of these have Latin alphabets because the Romans were bad at/unwilling to conquer really cold places

@carolinepitts1169 4 месяца назад

? Why no latin? Because the silk road was not that powerful at first and was beholding to the Mongol Empire. The North West Americas were isolated from latin influence until after the Western Europeans came to that area.
