WHAT THEY SAID FLY ME OUT

Oi Erwin!

YEAH THAT WAS SO GOOD

@@RiceSquad I thought it was Eren 😂

I just watch this video and it blows my mind! he's on point!

Yes He really sounds like Kamiya Hiroshi.

​@@i8mju7aq1w2e3sw2o9mj Yeah especially younger generations. I have cousins and friends that can barely speak hmong.

Me too

@@i8mju7aq1w2e3sw2o9mj I cracked tf up when you said the Hmong girl hais lus txhav txhav

Exactly!!

My Lauj brother

Actually it's English and Filipino, Tagalog is one of so many Filipino languages in the Philippines.

​@@jayarchiea.sumampong9556 you just explained how gel pineda is right. The Official languages are Filipino and English, not Filipino and Tagalog. Filipino was an initiative of the Quezon administration, meant to be based off the most spoken languages of the PH, including Bisaya (Cebuano), Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), Kapampangan, etc., but predominantly Tagalog after some decision. It started out as 'Pilipino' and would adopt the 'F' much later on. What came to be, however, turned out to be just Tagalog, but officially they're recognised as separate languages, not just one being a 'standardised' version of the other. (There's no basis either to say Filipino is 'standardised' Tagalog; you're not going to find any official body claiming that). That Filipino ended up just being Tagalog doesn't negate how they're still officially different languages but is telling of the failure of the project, links into why regionalism is deep seated in our country and why, especially as you go to Visayas and Mindanao, the reservations against Tagalog run deep. And if we cite laws, we follow the rules of interpretation of the legal field. Verba Legis, then Ratio Legis est Anima, and finally Ut Magis Valeat Quam Pereat. Three different modes of interpretation, where we don't move to the next if the previous suffices. Verba Legis means take the provision and its words as it is. Art. XIV Sec. 6 of the Constitution uses Filipino, not Tagalog. If the framers meant for Tagalog to be the official language, they'd have stated that. You can't really enter an analysis to establish that Filipino is 'Standardised Tagalog' when (1) the provision isn't ambiguous and so there's no warrant to interpret further than its wording and (2) there isn't a basis to say Filipino serves as 'standardised tagalog'. If you want to see how standardising a language works, look toward Italian as an example. Italy and Philippines are both countries where regionalism is rampant, and Italian was standardised following a dialect from Florence. You'll see how Filipino doesn't show many parallels with Standard Italian in use, history, and evolution.

@@bulbapologist7096 p sure he's filipino. how yall write an essay on youtube, i dont even know

❤️

I think it's her voice, she has a really beautiful voice. But not everyone speaks tagalog that way. Also I'm Bisaya and we definitely don't sound that sweet! 🤣

True, we're like WE understand each other but its not lol

@@allysaarcangel6233 Mga Assuming 😅🤣

chismis

5:23, made me smile when the guy said, it's a beautiful language. I'm a Filipino so I appreciate things like that❤

@@onlygodcanjudgeme.860 di wow

Right, bet 99% of viewers didn't know the last language since we r lost tribes 😆

Yeah this is the one I missed

Gran Torino!

Celebrate this hmong people, you deserve it

i was also surprised since they didnt have our flag in the thumbnail

it's a lyric from a song that's why it sounds like poetry lol. The song is Kailan by MYMP btw.

@@pikarick8354 it was originally sung by Smokey Mountain :)

isn't that a way to invite someone to go to your house to do the deed? lmao

@@marko3572yeah it’s the korean version of ‘netflix and chill’

Yeah, same.

I didn’t even know, but I just guessed Thai probably because I heard Thai from ShuoShuoChinese.

Thailand is the easiest to guess language idk why they missed

You must be Thai bl series fan.😃😃😃

@@Uranuss100 yeah. I 100% agree with you. The accent, the tone, the words. It's so freaking unique hahahaha

Yes! In the next video I will try to have the languages speak in longer portions

@@RiceSquad Thank you! I appreciate your videos.

cantonese sound like corona ... japanese and korean are more beautiful

@@RiceSquad I’d skip the background music, it was distracting

Agree. Once I was interested learning it. Gave up once I knew there are 8 something tones in Cantonese?? Like 4 tones in Mandarin already hard enough 🤣

Malaysian?

Hear, hear.

Yup, that’s the only one i didn’t get, probably due to me not exposed to that language

R u American?

I’m Hmong and it was so crazy seeing a Hmong person in this. It makes sense that people didn’t get it because Hmong is not a very well known language or culture. We are barely represented in the media. But it’s so cool seeing us being represented here!

@@perseph0ne1608 I know right. Hmong is one of a sub tribe in Vietnam, and even Vietnamese people having a hard time regconize. I was surprised they could find a Hmong person.

@@robinlinh Maybe it was just by accident, and then they figured they could have use for her...

Thanks brotha! Glad it got the InternetNathan’s seal of approval

Wait... People outside Philippines watch Filipino drama?? Is that a thing?

@@bread6482 not a popular thing. I am just the odd one😋..

@@jagatdeuri3261 I hope you don't come across the cringey ones because there are a ton

@@bread6482 can't be cringey than indian tv series( tv series)😁.

@@jagatdeuri3261 Gopi nahi😂

I was thinking the same, like Turkic languages or indeed Bengali, Urdu, Tamil, Farsi or Arabic would be nice as well.

As a Hmong child who doesn’t speak Hmong but has the ears I could immediately recognize the accent Mostly because Hmong is a tonal language

Hmong us

@@kindplanet1same, grew up hearing it all the time so i can easily recognize it. i wish i could learn it but i have no idea where to start 😭

diu

@@KimoKimochii ding

Hong Kong represent 💪

That is very cool!

Yes you definitely need some more representation!

So wonderful to hear hmong too!

@@RiceSquad Yes we do! Say it louder!😂😂🤣🤣

How much did you get??

I missed Hmong, but got the others. Thai, Mandarin, Tagalog, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese.

BTW, I’m up to over 350 Asian dramas and films watched since I’m retired......lol!

@Angela wag tanga. Manood ka ng video. Kung di ka nagagandahan sa tagalog paki ko sayo? As a foreigner, listening to mandarin, Thai or Vietnamese IN THIS VIDEO, I can say that tagalog is beautiful. bias bias ka pang nalalaman, competition teh? Patawa ampoota

Pure facts

yeah

Isa kanaman ata na proud filipino noh?

@@unknownhumanbeing4853 and YES I AM PROUD FILIPINO. hahahaha! Loud and clear. Gets mo na? 😂😂😂

Thank you so much, I’m Hmong and it’s actually so crazy to find a Hmong person in this video! We are not well-known people because we don’t have our own country so it’s really cool that we are being represented.

She was speaking Hmong! (Im Hmong too c: )

sammeeeee....I got all of them and guessed vietnamese for the last one 💀

Exactly same!

@@pizza4213 vietnamese would just be a good guess by elimination

But it is not, it is another dialect of Chinese.

​@@whiterose150It is a Chinese language, or technically a dialect of the Yue language. For political reasons, it will be called a dialect of Chinese, but no other language has "dialects" which are completely mutually unintelligible.

@@whiterose150 I would not ever classify Cantonese as a dialect. Somewhat subjective definition, but dialects are mutually intelligible. Tons of Chinese languages are mutually unintelligible, meaning that if 2 people spoke their own language, they would not understand each other. As someone who speaks Mandarin with a Beijing dialect, I would be able to hold a conversation with a typical person from Hangzhou. However, I have been completely lost every time I've been spoken to in Cantonese, and Cantonese speakers don't understand my Mandarin. While many people say "Chinese" to refer to putonghua, there are plenty of other variants of Chinese that are not at all the same language as the Mandarin spoken in northern China. For example, a couple of Taiwanese people I know (including a professor of mine), speak Mandarin, but not Hokkien. In fact, some Hokkien speakers in Taiwan view Taiwanese people who speak Mandarin and not Hokkien as not being true Taiwanese. If it helps, the dialects and languages of Chinese may be better viewed as having the linguistic variation of romance languages, as opposed to accents and dialects of English across the world. Think of how Catalan and Spanish are classified as 2 different languages because they're mutually unintelligible. Chinese languages are similar. Just because 2 languages have the same writing system and are primarily in the same country does not mean they can be spoken seamlessly between 2 people, which is what makes them languages rather than dialects or accents.

I think it's very arbitrary how some languages are classified as dialects and some are not. I'm a speaker of Shanghai dialect and I learned Mandarin too, I had some contact with Cantonese people in my childhood. I would say there is a certain level of mutual intelligibility between the three, and you can kind of learn how to substitute certain sounds to transform from one dialect to another, but there are for sure some dialects which I don't understand at all, they are just completely different languages for me. The same goes for German and German dialects in my view, there are some people who stubbornly make the point that Swiss German is its own language, yet there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility with some German dialects, while some German 'dialects' are so different from each other they might as well be foreign languages, yet they aren't considered as such

@@leparraindufromage366 It's worth noting that German dialects have converged over time due to more standardized schooling and the advent of mass media. The German dialects you hear today are not as "eccentric" as they would've been a hundred years ago, let alone before German unification. And the same is true of pretty much every other language-the dialects are gravitating toward the officially recognized standard variant that's used in schools and media.

The Philippines was colonized / under Spain's rule for three centuries and Spanish became one of the official languages in the country until the 70s :D

EXACTLY

true...

Mix between spanish and austronesian language

Right I heard telefono

But naturally we don't speak like that... Because its way more formal and usually use by old people or in poems that's why i also like it... I'm pure Filipino 🇵🇭😊

everybody be calling the Filipino languange soft and flows like a river 5:23, but a certain accent like Batangueño accent will make you think otherwise.

I love how Thai people are very supportive of Lisa and other Thai idols.

Yes ikr bro 🥹 I was even shocked to hear it huhu

Lisa's story even appeared in Thai national exams for high school senior student this year.

@@delrider wow that's just unbelievable but amazing too i am so proud of her and i am sure other blinks are too . what can we say she's Lalisa manobal

@@panyasingh The whole passage was about how Lisa just mentioned her hometown then the tourism business in Thailand went boom baam. I took the exam as well, and I couldn't help but smile. We thais are very proud of her.

Dude so real. I understand Chinese best when I’m being scolded

It was deep Tagalog i mean numero is like Spanish 😂😂

Yeah...

Yyyyyeaaah...

u coulda just said its the korean version of netflix and chill...... horizontal tango...

@@diegoalcantaras5580 shhhh.... Let people enjoy things. 🤗✨

😮

medyo maayos yung translation ni pareng google ah HAHAHA

@@enrico9130 gagu trinatry ko lang maging makata HAHAHA

I almost guest them all except Hmong and cantonese. And yes Korean Japanese Thai and mandarin are easy to guess especially if you watch their dramas and movies. lol

Yes po.. like nahulaan ko LAHAT eh..

UNITEAM2022❤️💚

Samee😭

I'm sure the Hmong language gathered some influence from the other southeast Asian languages where they're located at. Unfortunately, the Hmong people don't have a permanent country of residency, which is why they're kind of all over the place - like Kim said, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand specifically. The language is beautiful though.

fr

I thought Vietnamese too but I needed to hear more. I know that there’s a Hmong population in Vietnam, however!

Same

Thats pretty good!

Ilocano sounds more aggressive sounding than Tagalog.

it's Filipino not tagalog

@@cabogaming384 it could also be Tagalog, friend

I would only get Tagalog because I grew up learning Spanish and a lot of the words are similar. I didn’t get the hmong one but it’s a lovely language! I got 6/7 because I listen to kpop and there are idols from all over Asia that speak lots of languages including the ones today + there’s a few Cantonese speaking people in my school now. It’s all so interesting to learn about!

It's part of the culture, Enjoyed my trip there

Who tf asked

Me 2. As a half Filipino half European American, I was able to recongize the Japanese language and the Tagalog language instantly. To me, and I'm not being biased, I think both Japanese and Tagalog sound very beautiful and poetic. 😇

They didn’t bring in any Central Asians (Kazakhs, Tibetans, Mongols) either, and there’s a decent population of Mongolian Americans in Chicago and LA.

@@oh.s or north Asians, we never get mentioned even by you guys complaining that you weren’t mentioned 😅 even Asians don’t know we exist

@@user-3aa6234fh Frrr! Everyone always thinks everyone in Russia is white and forgets abt North Asians bc most of North Asia is in Russia. I should’ve mentioned that :(

そう思いましたか なるほどですW

うん、確かに。アメリカナイズされた日本人って感じ

Kaya pala pansin ko para syang tumutula o kumakanta. 😂

literally its so frustrating because for these people asia is just limited to the eastern region and forgets all about the west, central and south asia. if they’re going to make a whole video on the topic atleast research something, it’s all a literal google search away

@@sebbysmommy yeah that's so true its like as if Asia is only made up of east Asians..

Haha sige pre, that would be fun! Let us know how you do. Congrats again sa kasal ninyo!
