We use "Buah" like that too in Indonesian! "Buah bibir" (literally "Fruit lips") means gossips or what people are talking about nowadays. "Buah tangan" (literally "Fruit hands") means souvenirs. "Buah hati" (literally "Fruit heart") means child. And many more. But all of those terms are used more in like a poetic situation, or to make it more sincere / soft (not rude). I don't know, it is hard to explain. You can say "Gosip" instead of "Buah bibir", "Oleh-oleh" instead of "Buah tangan", and "Anak" instead of "Buah hati".
In some ethnic in Indonesia "what"has sound in Hawaiian too.... The Batak ethnic in Sumatra "what"is AHA... In Kandayan ethnic in West Borneo,"what"is AHE("E" sound like A in able)
Most filipinos if you tell them they are austronesian people they think your loco moco we been brainwashed thag our language is spanish and tagalog i just learn it we were the main migration the LAPITA people of the Philippines dna and pottery and canoe
@@illoc i know micronesian and Polynesian will not accept it but DNA AND LINGUISTICS and canoe are proof and most of the beautiful filipina in guam and Hawaii are filipina and not guamanian or Hawaiian for disrespecting are culture and islands the fact is our 7500 islands is better than there's and our exotic looks
I think I heard your voice from the polyglot gathering, sir. Wherein you've discussed about austronesian languages too! I really liked it and so continue doing more of these things, it's always fun to learn!
Thank you, sir! I was told that I have a very distinctive voice :) These languages are a favourite topic and I'll definitely be putting up more content! Maraming salamat po and terima kasih!
in sundanese (basa sunda), much of its interrogative pronouns seem derived from 'aha' except for the 'aha' (what) itself (which is 'naon'). the others are saha (who), iraha (when), kumaha (how), naha (why). do you know any explanation of the origin of 'naon' being used instead of 'aha'? thank you
Great explanation. Any insights on why Polynesian like to change some austronesian consonants into *h sound. Sounds like removing obstruction (tongue or lips) from fricative airflow. Maybe to make it louder at seafaring?
Actually one unrelated language that evolved in a similar way is Dhivehi or Maldivian. The Maldives is an island nation and the languages is Indo-Aryan, coming from Sanskrit and it's quite close to Sinhala and a little bit more distant to Hindi and Urdu. But Dhivehi has evolved a syllabic structure that's more like Polynesian languages with less consonants and more vowels. So maybe there's some truth in that.
@@languagestolearn8155 or maybe Polynesian languages are closer to the original form of Austronesian language since they are isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years...
Esa is actually available in Indonesian too. But it’s considered as archaic. The first article in Our ideology, Pancasila, is “Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa” loosly means believing in One God. Esa means One.
Love the content! Liked and subbed. Are you Malay? The enting 'g' sound in 'Tagalog' was very Malay sounding (in a good way). Dila (tongue) is pronounced with a glottal stop at the end - literally 'dilak' in Malay/Indo orthography. Philippine orthography sadly got rid of the diactrics that allowed easy pronunciation.
The word "voa" actually refers more to 'seed' more than 'fruit' nowadays in Madagascar, but can also means 'kidney'. The word "voankazo" (seed/fruit of tree) means 'fruit'. Many fruit names begins with "voa", like "voasary (orange)", "voatavo (kind of pumpkin)", "voatabia (tomato)"... We have "voambolana" (seed/fruit of speech/talk) which means 'vocabulary'. We also have "voandalana" (seed/fruit of route/travel) which means 'souvenirs'.
In Indonesian, there is a word "buah tangan" which literally means "the fruit of hand (?)" which means "souvenir"! And there's word "jalan" which means "road, street (n) or to walk (v)" and also "jalan-jalan" which means "go for a walk" or "traveling"
@@changniere7696 Yes, these are the cognates. But I wonder why for fruit, Filipino say "bunga" (which means flower in Proto-Malayo-Polynesian) instead of "bua" like all Austronesian languages.
In my motu language, PNG south Coast. Hua hua means fruit. Bibi means lips. Mala means tongue. So betelnut we call buatau. But now you've clarified buatau? Hua for fruit. Tau meaning man. "Fruit for, of man." Or man fruit?
I just came across this channel... it's very interesting... as indonesian from sumatra... i often wonder how do we have so many languages here... i hope one day to know the reason.. thank you for breaking this down... 🙏
Similarly, in CHamoru, betel pepper leaf is pupulo, Palauan uses "kebui" and Yapese "gabuy." While lime made from burnt coral/calcium to add to the betel quid is åfuk in CHamoru, chaus in Palauan and magad in Yapese.
Tagalog x Javanese Ako (I) x Aku (I) Ikaw (You) x Koe/Ko' (You) Ama (Father) x Mama (Father) -> (Western Dialect) / Rama (Eastern Dialect) Anak (Child) x Anak (Child) Mata (Eyes) x Mata (Eyes) Ilong (Nose) x Irung (Nose) Aso (Dog) x Asu (Dog) Baboy (Pig) x Babi (Pig) Karabaw (Buffalo) x Kebo (Buffalo) Manok (Chicken) x Manuk (in Javanese is Bird) Paraw (Boat) x Prau (Boat) Bahay (House) x Bale (House) Langit (Sky) x Langit (Sky) Buwan (Moon) x Wulan (Moon) Bato (Stone) x Watu (Stone) Kilad (Lightning) x Kilat (Lightning) Hangin (Wind) x Angin (Wind) Ulan (Rain) x Udan (Rain) Apoy (Fire) x Apuy (Fire) Tanghali (Noon) x Tengange (Noon) Fun fact : Javanese has the word 'Ng' for possession marker like 'Pitung taun' or 'Pitong taon' in Tagalog. Example : Javanese : Pirang taun tah kowe? (How old are you?) Pitung taun aku (I'm 7 year-old) Tagalog : Ilang taon ka na? (How old are you?) Pitong taon ako (I'm 7 year-old) And Javanese has Um and In as in Tagalog. The Um is only used when formal conversation (in informal we used em) and the In is only used in poetry and is rarely found in daily conversations. Example : Javanese x Tagalog's Um Dumateng x Dumating Gumawe x Gumaway Javanese x Tagalog's In Pinilih x Pinili (Is pinili word exist in Tagalog?

So ... what is the Hawaiian word for Instagram? We have a similar way of asking this question in Māori: "He aha te kupu Māori mō Instagram?". To which I'd reply "Ko 'Paeāhua' te kupu Māori mō Instagram". And although we don't say "hua 'ōlelo" in Māori, it's not hard to understand: in Māori "hua" means "fruit, egg; product, value"; while "'ōlelo" is similar to "kōrero" (talk, speak) and "arero" (tongue).
so L sounds become r sounds in maori that's really interesting in malay we don't neccessarily have a direct translation of "hua olelo" but there is a bit of an simpulan bahasa (idiom) which is something like "buah mulut" which literally means fruit [of the] mouth and in context it can mean chitchat, gossip or discussion
As an Indonesian, I was like "No shot Hua'olelo has any links to the Indonesian word for Word". The word is "Bahasa" of course, but then "Hua" has roots in "Buah". At that point I just pieced it together. "Bahasa" from "Buahasa". I'm sure the "asa" has another meaning. I'm real curious to learn what that is.
Asa or rasa means hope and feeling. Buah asa or buah rasa are something yielded from hope or feeling. Fruit of hope or fruit of feeling are representing of "expression".
For the javanese word, it is better to write it as "apa" ꦲꦥ, since it is the way when you transcribe it into Javanese Hanacaraka. Yet, indeed the pronunciation is sort of like "opo" [ˈɔpɔ]. I only can recognize instantly "he aha" that means like "one what" in Indonesian. The second word hua'ōlelo is tricky. I only noticed hua is "fruit", "buah" after you said that "hua" indeed means "fruit". Ōlelo is out of my mind... I don't know that it relates with "lidah". Now, you remind me abour d/r and l/r mutation. 👍 Nice work
Tidak bro, pelafalan yang benar itu ya memang A bukan O. Pelafalan O hanya diucapkan oleh dialek Mataraman sedangkan di Serang, Indramayu, Cirebon, Tegal, Banyumas berakhiran vokal A. Dialek A adalah dialek asli bahasa Jawa sebelum mengalami perubahan pada abad ke 17 di masa Sultan Agung Mataram. #CMIIW
@@user-jg8gr6wd4w bukan berarti asli, itu dialek jawa kuno. Orang mataraman itu juga asli jawa lho. Kalo bilangnya asli, itu mengimplikasikan bahwa orang mataraman bukan orang jawa dan dialek mereka juga bukan dialek asli jawa. Ini sama aja kayak perbedaan pengucapan bahasa inggris antara orang australia, inggris, dan amerika. Pengucapan amerika lebih dekat dengan pengucapan inggris kuno, tetapi bukan berarti pengucapan orang inggris itu bukan yang asli.
As Malay in Peninsular, I read those 3 word early in the sentences as "Hei, Apakah..........." the rest of those sentences I cannot understand. In Peninsular North, we use word "Pelaq" , kinda interesting tu know the word " delaq"
'buah' is fruit in Malay; 'hati' is heart; 'buah hati' is fruit of the heart or sweetheart/a loved one which covers love between man and woman as well as children. tongue is 'lidah' in Malay; 'bunga' is flower in Malay; 'kamu', you, your (Moari), ia (he) is a pronoun (it), 'dia', he, she
Iam sasak tribe in lombok island Indonesia, fruit is buaq in sasak language, also mother is inaq and father is amaq , Proto Austronesian language is similar in sasak tribe , sasak tribe is Austronesian people
Not all Javanese talking like the way you say. Javanese people in Serang, Indramayu, Cirebon, Tegal, Banyumas, Mount Bromo Area they still pronounce final A. Remember the final O can be found only in Mataramese and Osingese and a part of Cirebonese dialect because the final A dialect is the first ancient in Javanese dialect. I don't understand why Mataramese think that all Javanese are talking like that. We have our own dialect duh🙄
Indonesian language language does not exist until 1929 when the youth of the Dutch occupied East Indies decided to form a movement for Independence. This historic moment is called "Sumpah Pemuda 1929". Among others they adopted the Malay language as the unifying language to bind the 14,000 islands with 4,000 languages/dialects and ethnic groups. To make any comparison we need to look at the original language which is Malay and not Indonesian.
But every language must had developed from another language at one moment. Just because Indonesian is younger, it doesn't erase the fact that it is still an Austronesian language. We are comparing Austronesian languages here, not the root of Austronesian languages.
if you guys still confuse of what this guy says, what he means by "Indonesian" or "Bahasa Indonesia" didn't exist until 1929 when "Sumpah Pemuda" was declared........ is because previously it was only known as "Malay" or "Bahasa Melayu". when Indonesia wants to declare independence from the Dutch they choose Malay as a Lingua Franca or National Language and then standardised it to fit the people in Indonesia and called this new standardisation of Malay as "Bahasa Indonesia" or "Indonesian". In Malaysia they also standardised Malay language as a National Language but they don't change the name and still call it "Malay" or "Bahasa Melayu" (well there's also some people who call the standardise version as Bahasa Malaysia). the reason Indonesia choose "Malay" as a national language is because it's already been used as a Lingua Franca for centuries even before the colonisation, that's why Indonesia standardise the language and use it as a national language but called the new standardised one as "Bahasa Indonesia" so that all those hundreds of different ethnic groups in Indonesia could speak with each other with that language that they already a lil' bit know of. P.S. sorry for the lecture, i have to at least put this somewhere because people sometimes told something without rechecking it if it's true
tongue in the Sasak language which is one of the regional languages in Indonesia is called "elaq" and also for fruit in the Sasak language we usually call "buaq" Apa in sasak we called "ape" 😀
I think you missed the Tagalog and Cebuano... the counterpart of "He" should have been "Si" it is a word that is used at either a prefix or a first word in a lot of sentences
qalelo in Maori is Korero or to talk or a story. The Hawaiian hua0lelo is understood by Maori speakers but our word for word is kupu. So my question is a bit unrelated but what was the reason the glottal stop in Tahiti and other Polynesian languages? My guess is it was a cultural effect, like Spanish speakers who say Barthelona, instead of Barcelona. But I'd like to know your thoughts on the glottal stop. Is tangi - ta'i Rangiatea - Raiatea
Dropping off "s" to become "h"? Maybe this Filipino word has something to do with it. (Actually, I don't know what particular Philippine language they came from, so, I just contextually coined it as a Filipino word.) For ours, "sabon" is our word for "soap" but, I grew up calling a "soap holder" as "habonera" or "habunera".
sabon in Filipino originated from the Spanish word “jabon” which is pronounced as Ha-bon that is why the soap holder is Jabonera in Spanish but in Filipino spelled as Habonera. That word is not related to Austronesian.
@@rodienp.feranco2249 you’re welcome! In Hiligaynon, they still use the word habon. It is also interesting to note that in France (a neighboring country of Spain), soap is “SAVON”. In Malaysia and Indonesia, they use the word “sabun” borrowed from Arab Muslims who propagated Islam in these countries.
@@elmarrebato , so, we can assume that "sabon" really came from the Arabs. It is because, southern part of Iberian Peninsula became an Arab Empire through Al-Andalus.
The Spanish word for soap is "jabon". I think in Visayan languages it is "habon", closer to the modern Spanish pronunciation, while the Tagalog "sabon" is closer to the archaic Spanish pronunciation of j which is something like a "zh" sound, similar to how j is pronounced in Catalan and Portuguese languages. You can also see this in other Tagalog loanwords like "sugal" (from Sp. jugar) and "tisa" (Sp. teja).
Yes, I as a Javanese from western region we pronounced it as "apa". Btw I am from North Banten and I speak Bantenese dialect which is have similarities with Cirebon and Tegalese dialect.
The caveat is that the western region is often, derogatorily or not, considered an outlier do to it being underrepresented in Javanese culture. The modern center of Javanese high culture is indeed the central Java and Yogyakarta, especially the areas of former Mataram Sultanate and its successor states, so the "standard" Javanese language taught in schools is the variant spoken in those areas. Historical phonology aside, the sound [ɔ] in the word _apa_ heavily dominates among the whole Javanese population, although by standard orthography it is still written as _apa_
@@Kanal7Indonesia Actually the alteration between /a/ and /ɔ/ can be predictable. There is a standard orthography, but the language is heavily marginalized these days, and people learn only a little about it in schools.

Hahaha ilokano spell it BOA but pronounce as BUAH. HAHAHAHA. That is why some filipinos say ilokano is the hardest philippine language to learn. Fruit is Bunga in iloko
@@mountainrock7682 Nice joke bro, without malay there would never besuch language called "indonesian"...and fyi more than 70% of syntax in indonesian are based of malay language
@@mountainrock7682 Malaysian Malay and Indonesian is essentially the same language, they're just a different standardisation of the same language (Malay) to each countries. the differences is that Indonesian is based on the Riau dialect and the Malaysian Standard Malay is based on the Johor dialect. haduh kok banyak yg nyangkain bhs indonesia (yg baku) udah jauh banget ya ama bhs melayu baku di malaysia, orang beda standarisasi doang di tiap negara
@@Nich-ib7xv Lol. Our Austronesian ancestors spoke the same language. Why are you gatekeeping Malay as if they owned the language that a tribe from Taiwan spread?
@@Emsyaz malay language is not exist, the exist one is rojak which is english with a hint malay😁😁🤪🤪 Indonesian speaker is almost 300 million, Indonesia language is bigger than malay, malay is just one of the tribe beside 400 more tribe in Indonesia.. In Malaysia they do not respect other ethnic groups, all are considered Malay, such as the Minang, Acehnese, Bugis, Lampung, Banjar, Sundanese, Javanese. even though they have different languages, different cultures. They do that in order to claim the culture of the different tribes as Malaysian culture. Well that's his true nature as a thief of other people's culture just as their nama "MALAS YA" (lazy people) 🤪🤪🤭🤭
Pretty good. Your break down of HUA from FUA could also have been from Gagana Sāmoa SUA "juice", so "juice" + "of" + "tongue". Adhering to the idea of regular shifts of sounds characteristic of linguistic drift, where HE = SE, then the same applies to HUA = SUA (although not 100% of the time as is the case with PAPA and FAFA, P = F). This word also possesses nuances related to the expression of milk / lactation as from the use of SUA in SUASUSU, literally "breast juice", from SUA "juice" + SUSU "breast". SUSU "breast" further decomposes into the reduplication of SU "wet", which starts to enter the same linguistic territory as Sumerian / Akkadian apsû (𒀊𒍪) for "abyss", that is "(cosmic) underground water; a ritual water container in a temple". The Sumerian form of apsû is SU.AB (𒍪𒀊)... Just drop that final /b/ and you have SUA "juice" derived from "primeval waters". Why? Probably a metaphor, since SU (𒍪) does not relate to "water" directly, but rather knowledge as it carries the meaning of "to know", "to teach", "to discover", which is what words do best. The underlying implication here, which is deeply embedded in the story of the Abyss and the re-education of the human race is that knowledge was conveyed by the agents of Enki the god of waters, who emerged from the sea... So, breaking through the metaphorical linguistic devices of the 'nesians you find that the underlying meaning of SUA is explicitly related to language. It could even be from SU.A (𒍪𒀀) "knowledge (of) water", "seeds (of) knowledge)" since A (𒀀) means variously "heir, water, seed, semen". This reading of SU that includes notions of procreation is reinforced by the Sanskrit SŪ (सू) which means "begetter", "one who begets", "mother", "father", "producing", "procreating", "bringing forth". SU (षु) also could be used, as it means "delivery". Just like seeds, words deliver and multiply knowledge, propagating alongside the spread of our species.
When i was in Indonesia on a contract work, i noticed that they have a hard time pronouncing a final "g" like the word Tagalog. It sounded more kike Tagalok - a k sound. And now as you mentioned that word it reminded me that Malays and Indonesians seems to share that idiosyncracy. Is there an explanation to that?
Not all Indonesian having that difficulty though. Sundanese has a lot of words ended with g such as endog (egg), baledog (to throw something), belegug (stupid), baleg (right), meledug (explode), etc.
Fun fact : javanese is not written "opo", but its âpâ. We use ꦲꦭ = âpâ. Sound like "o" but its not "o" If we use "o". We useually use ꦲꦺꦴꦫ = ora = no U can see the different on ꦲ & ꦲꦺꦴ
