So, this game has: -low quality audio -goofy conversations -gunshots at the end of recordings -music instead of languages -silence instead of languages -screaming instead of languages -"MMMMMMMMMMMMMM" -mislabelled languages It's like a combination of Language Squad and Geoguessr but on drugs.
8:00 Pro tip for if you get a music one if you ever play this again, the instrument being played in the background was a sitar, which are native to India. No clue how you were supposed to know he was speaking Sanskrit tho lmao
They have a lot of work to do on this game but it is a good idea. Just have to: -Get better audio recordings -Longer recordings -Recordings with actual speaking (no silence or just music) -Label which countries speak the languages (Urdu is spoken in Indian, not just Pakistan) -Less Murder -Label all the languages properly And then the game will start to be playable!
@@notwithouttext yeah it doesn’t make sense for you to get it solely based on geography considering if you have English you can choose at least 1 country per continent. Close languages like slavic, Nordic, or Indian languages should give more than choosing a country with a completely different language
3:24 „oklejenie szyb … też trzeba będzie usunąć” can be translated to 'glass wrapping will have to be removed'. But don’t worry, as a Polish native speaker I got what the speaker said after the third attempt 😂
Audio of these tests are like audio recordings in English class. Even if you are top of the class, you still won't understand what the hell they are speaking there.
@@niewiemcomamtuwpisacxd This game is very bad, but the Polish part was kind of recognizable. I've been learning Polish for only a few years, but I think I heard words "też" "dzisiaj" and "usunąć", or something like that. Edit: I think the dude is saying "też będzię chciał" not "dzisiaj" as I first thought. )
@@allesindwillkommen He said "Oklejenie szyb też będzie trzeba usunąć." Where do you here "dzisiaj"? Still props. You understood quite a lot for someone who isn't a native speaker.
Mongolia’s population density: 2 people per square kilometer. Mongolia’s language density: 2 alphabets in a conversation. Who will you speak to when the next person is a few kilometers away? Makes sense.
Thanks for showing me this fun game. I played a couple of times and did fairly well actually. Between 250 and 350 points. I never managed to pull off a 5/5 though. There was always some crazy language that caught me off guard.
As an Indonesian who is also from the Sundanese tribe, I only half-understood about 1 word in that sentence. I also thought it sounded like Filipino, so I dont blame you lol.
4:14 was so surprised when I heard my native language, dude guessed pretty solid at that one, our language in fact sounds similar to Turkish, but we have a lot of borrowed words from Russian. Also don’t know why the game said it is spoken in Poland and Romania, when majority of Tatars lives in Russia
@@mermermerkthere is a small minority of Lipka Tatars in Poland, but there's like 2000 of them and they have stopped speaking Tatar a long time ago. This game is just drunk.
As a Japanese I thought it was Korean too until the correct answer got revealed. I listened to it again. I don't know what prefecture that accent is from but it's so thick I can only partially understand
@@interneda98 I may have lied, since the accent isn't that thick. This is what a REALLY thick accent sounds like: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bmKOW46LaGo.html Two old ladies from rural Aomori chatting in the Tsugaru accent with one of the thickest accents in Japan
1:00 As a swed I did not get it first, but when I listened again I could hear it. He basically said: “Let’s go and see what’s going to happen.” The quality of the audio afterwards is very bad, but it’s something about a roof and it blowing up.
5:06 That's actually Romanian. I got that audio too when I played the game. I knew it was Romanian because of the way it sounded and because I heard some words similar to my native language Mozambican. So I said Romanian and I got it right. Good to know that they've already fixed the mistake.
8:06 I guess you have never heard mantras. Or Indian music... From the pinch of a second I knew it is Sanskrit. So yeah, I am the guy that says: "THAT'S SANSKRIT!!!"
When you guessed Italy, that was Romanian. This game is definitely on drugs. Edit: Stop confirming that it's Romanian, I am from Romania, I know it is Romanian. Edit 2: Actually nevermind that might be Sugondese, keep confirming if it's Romanian.
When I was learning ASL, a student unintentionally did the sign for blowjob when she intended the sign for drink, which made the teacher facepalm with a long pause due to trauma.
I used to enjoy the Languages map of GeoGuessr - one of the ones I did best with. Although that's _written_ language, not spoken. A lot of languages sound similar.
It has to be joke I think. Just as Portuguese is obviously spoken in Mozambique right. He was moving the map to Portugal and changed his mind to another country which also speaks Portuguese.
I was so happy that I got Maori right, and I know exactly why, I watched the show "See" with Jason Mamoa (pretty good show) and they do a "Haka" which is from New Zealands Maori Tribes, I immediately recognized the words they screamed.
I listened to the Swedish one again, it doesn’t sound at all like Swedish, I only hear sounds / mumbling, and the audio is simply dreadful - I am intermediate level in Swedish, so I know a lot of words, and that’s not proper Swedish, in fact, it might be a mislabeled language, because the intonation doesn’t even sound like any of the Nordic or Germanic languages, maybe it’s some Arabic or Turkic language that was mislabeled...
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038Idk it sounded Swedish to me it definitely isn't anything remotely similar to turkish or even Arabic which aren't even languages that sound similar anyway.
Different intonations could make different languages sound similar, if one only listens to sounds, so it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be one of those - one cannot even hear the actual words or where a word starts and where the word ends, only just hears sounds in recordings like these, so it’s impossible to even tell what language it really is, could be any language...
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 As a Swede, I can confirm that it actually is Swedish, it's kinda hard to hear but he says something along the lines of (something) "skjuter ut hela" (something) "genom taket, håll i er (bang)", I can't quite tell what the (something) parts are because of the audio quality and he does have a bit of an accent which might be why the intonation sounds a bit different
Well, now I only heard something like, yenuh hå, but I couldn’t hear the other words, very bæd audio quality and pøõr enunciation! Also, the word Rosis cannot be in a yt name or name - flower terms or terms that are too close to a flower term (roses etc) cannot be in yt names or names, and must be changed!
I only speak English, but living in New Zealand I instantly realized it was a Maori haka. Crazy since it's the only thing I recognized in the whole video lmao
7:45 I am Vietnamese , the dude recording that was either an extreme introvert or his throat was fking burning , no way someone speaking Vietnamese can sound that weird to a native Vietnamese Or he's just from central Vietnam , that makes sense
I've just played the game and discovered a bug that kinda ruins the whole thing. Sometimes it will play you the audio clip, but when you make a guess it's completely because it claims to have shown you a different clip. You can play back the clip when it shows you the correct answer, and twice I've had very easy answers that weren't the original audio. I got one that was Baguette (I speak some Baguette and I was repeating the sentence as it was being spoken to me), but it claimed to be Catalan and I played it back to reveal a completely different audio clip. A similar thing happened with Japanese and some African language (but I don't speak Japanese it was just very obvious).
Yeah ur right monolinguals really think about the purity of the Lang otherwise I also mix Urdu words in my day-to-day conversation and every Indian who knows Hindi does that in most conversations it's really difficult to differentiate. And some things just can't be replaced by words because even the basic structure of the sentence is same! I have also noticed that Marathi and Bengali mixes some Urdu and Persian words by removing and adding some sounds to the word and then they use it so we can say that Indo-aryan languages really are influenced by foreign languages especially Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Arabic and we mix English like everywhere that's more common and it's not only a indo Aryan thing then whole India even the Dravidian languages use English words for completing a sentence. So yeah we boost the English language.
It would probably easier to take the German TV show Sendung mit der Maus sound snippets. Each show starts with a short overview over the contents first spoken in German and then in a random language. At the end, the second language is revealed. (At least that's how I play this game.)
It is actually quite impressive that you can at least understand and guess Turkish for Turkic languages, for an untrained ear it is really not easy to relate the central asian Turkic and Türkiye Turkish. For your information, they are quite seperated right now but actually they are quite similar, isolation and Russian influence played their part yet even so, if you know Turkish, learning any Turkic language is just learning a few grammer difference and some extra words.
I think this game samples from countries indiscriminately; I got one that was clearly English but the correct answer was Czech. It was a girl talking about anthems, so I assume she just knew English and the game treats it as Czech. The first time I got Ukrainian, I guessed correctly; but the next sample was 99% Russian but the correct answer was Ukrainian again. Given the former example, the game may have sampled spoken Russian in Ukraine and then treats Ukrainian as the only correct answer.
