How to Speak Ancient Albanian Sign Language 

As an Albanian I can confirm he is very fluent. He just needs to work on the 👋🖖🤚👋👋🤚✋ but props to him

as a native ohioian, i can confirm we are tirelessly working to revive the ancient albanian sign language

Very good video, as a fluent speaker I can assure you all Language Simp speaks AASL really well! There is a very slight American accent but it's barely noticable unless I focus 100% on looking for errors

Я из Новосибирска, и я удивлён, насколько у тебя хорошее произношение! Ты говоришь на староалбанском почти без акцента! С нетерпением жду продолжения курса

I've tried speaking AASL with a friend of mine, but he's got a heavy Greek accent and I've got a French accent. It's really annoying as I've accidentally insulted his mother (from his point of view), while I was merely asking if he was thirsty. This video will prove helpful to the both of us. Thank you so much! Also, don't listen to the haters. I don't see even the slightest bit of an American accent in your AASL!

hey, albanian here! i used to speak AASL back in 1280. one thing you forgot to mention is the SASS gesture, or Severely Animated Scansion Serpent. it is present in some dialects of AASL, you firstly hold your forearm and upper arm in a right angle in a similar position to the SUS, then fluidly wiggle your forearm this is usually used to indicate a snake. the size of the snake varies from the severity of the wiggle, whilst the danger of the snake varies from the speed of the wiggle it was also used in the southern part of the kingdom of albania to indicate royalty, though in the northern part it was used to indicate slyness. in transitional dialects, they used it to mean both things other than that, everything was spot on!

I learned AASL when I lived in New York. The local vernacular pretty much consisted of one sign. I actually found it quite useful when caught in traffic jams.

1:51 As a fluent Ancient Albanian Sign Language speaker I confirm that eye thing is necessary

Wonderful video 🇦🇱 Though you forgot the notable AASL community in parts of rural China. Truly beautiful when accompanied by Esperanto loanwords

As a native ancient albanian, your pronounciation is amazing for a foreigner. 🤚👋🤚🖖✋👐🤙🤙!

Bro thank you for this Language Simp. I've always wanted to speak this incredible and beautiful language, but i always thought it was too difficult. This video showed how easy it is to learn such a magnificent language. Glory to Language Simp and Albania!

0:48 i love this image of wouter! Makes me feel like a little bug and he's looking down at me like "¿qué haces ahí abajo, bicho?" and the thought of that makes me giggle XD

Great video! I have been learning aasl for decades now and this is the most helpful video I've ever seen.

As a native Spanish speaker who doesn't know anything about AASL, I've gotta say that you have no accent at speaking and you have no grammar mistakes. Congrats!

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for an AASL tutorial that goes beyond the basics since like forever

As a native ASL speaker who is currently learning to speak AASL language I appreciate your video. Thank you for the tips.

Incrível, espero você completar logo esse curso!

I have been waiting for this video for a while now thank you simp for delivering

My mom and dad practice AASL in bed

Я, простой работяга из Новосибирска, могу лишь восхититься степенью того, как ты владеешь староалбанским жестовым языком! Для американца очень хорошее произношение! Продолжай в том же духе, возможно, ты как носитель американского сможешь выучить ещё и английский жестовый язык❤

Finally after more than a year you're teaching this beautiful language to us

I've been learning AASL for 10 years. You, sir, are a genius. I've never witnessed such talent!

As a person who lives close to Jerusalem I can confirm everybody there speaks Ancient Albanian Sign Language.

As a spanish AASL speaker, I must say that this video is very good, instructive and helpful! I even got to learn things from this!

Hei! I very like your videos. Now I live in Finland and as a newbie in learning languages I would loooove to see your review on Finnish language since it has almost no relatives except same funny languages as Hungarian and Estonian. Thanks for entertaining!!!

Tack, Language Simp! Fenomenal video som vanligt!

Very satisfied with customer service. Asked for such a video, got it in less than a week.

3:09 I thought you'd add the 🤌 sign we all know is Italian for money As well as the "ehhh...ohh..." And the American Italian "forget about it" loan phrases

I love your effort in trying to learn this magnificent sign language. Nice that an American would take time to learn and respect the culture of Ancient Albanian Sign Language.

My life gets better once you upload a new video, Language senpai. Your humor is the only thing that can make me die from laughing

What if you're drowning and only speak this language

AASL is my current target language. Thank you for this great resource, alpha polyglot gigachad

1:43 AMOMGUS!

Amazing tutorial. As a native speaker of American, with a lot of experience in AASL, I can see hints of an American accent, but your pronunciation is spot on!

This is the most educational shit I've seen in my life Thank you for opening my eyes

As a person from Novosibirsk I can confirm we are making efforts to revive ancient Albanian sign language

This is very usefull. I Will probably use this every day

Wow thank you for this. It’s so difficult to find accessible material on AASL. I only live 3 hours away from Mobile so maybe I could make a trip down there and practice with the revivalist community there!

Брооо,поздравляю с 1 миллионом!!желаю 2 миллиона❤🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Bro I've been speaking my own AASL dialect for a long time. Thanks Language Simp for teaching me a main dialect of AASL

Thank you so much for this awesome source, I've always been interested in learning this language. I want to ask, how is it written?

✋👋🖖🖐️(your pronunciation is very good)

I can't wait for the AASL Duolingo course

Reminds me of my great great great great grandfather, your fluency is unmatched!

CONGRATS ON 100 MILLION SUBS!!!

I wish you had posted this earlier! I have just returned from Albania!

Hi Simp as an AASLASL teacher your efforts are highly appreciated. Keep up the good work👉🤙🖖👌🤏🙏👉👈👐👏🙌👇

1:31 of course, why not, Ohio wants to revive AASL

как житель новосибирска могу подтвердить, что у тебя отлично получается использовать aasl! продолжай в том же духе, и тогда древнеалбанский захватит мир! 😊

congrats on 1 million!

As a bird i can confirm that this is how we used to speak with humans.

Congrats on 1 mil subscribers

His back at it again

Very beautiful. As an Albanian you speak fluently! **Proceeds to expload.**

As an honorary Albanian that has never heard of AASL I have to say this is very accurate.

я из Новосибирска и очень удивлён упоминанием моего родного в города в твоём ролике. ty, bro❤

Language Simp, thx! I will be using this language for school test works!

As someone who was born and lived most of his life in Novosibirsk, I can confirm that this is correct. Also, your AASL is quite good. You forgot some hand gestures, though. You require a lot less of spoken words by using them. Anyway, thanks for the video, I can start showing it to people here in Moscow, so more people can learn this beautiful language. If you give me your permission to open a language school and use this video as study material. Can't wait for the next lesson!

this channel is just hilarious

Спасибо, буду знать!

2:41 your eye must be having a great time looking different direction to the second one

Language Simp is doing the world a huge service in revitalizing the beautiful language of AASL!

PLEASE cover verb tenses in a future video. I need help conjugating the irregular procrastinated infinitive future imperfect reverse preterite modal transitive nonsense verbs, especially the reflexive ones.

thank you sir

IVE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN AASL FOR SO LONG! THANK YOU!!!!@2!!!!!11!!!

As a person who spoke AASL in the swimming pool fluently for 3 minutes straight, I see this as an absolute win

My friends and I watched this video, and now we can secretly talk with each other. My accent is a little bit off, but now we can talk in private while also having everyone stare at us. Thanks a lot!

THANKS IVE BEEN SEARCHING GOOGLELINGO FOR THIS THE WHOLE DAY ❤

Such a beautiful language.

This is insanely helpful, you taught me more than school ever did, you could easily dethrone Duolingo and be da biggest bird

1:43 Language Simp says "the sus"

3:50 i accidently did two slow RIGHT wiggles instead of left ones. Did I just say a very offensive slur?

Thank you for teaching the most important word "cat" If you could please also talk about the Jerusalem Albanian dialect that would be wonderful

Would you consider making a podcast in the future? I'd love to polish my AASL, but the lack of resources makes it difficult.

omg i grew up in novosibirsk this is so perfect!

just love it when someone mentions my small country

Finally an actual guide. I Always made a lot of mistakes.

This is art, because I can't tell if it's a joke or not

My mother is a native in AASL , I showed this video to her and she started doing backflips and she wants to invite you to her home but before that I have to take her to the hospital

Even tho im an albania(im a kid) thx for learning me this it will help me to talk with deaf albnians and other family members

You're so adorable! Love you so much!

As a guy from Novosibirsk I can confirm that we speak ancient Albanian fluently

Congrats on 1M language simp 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Finally 🙌

As a speaker of the Portuguese dialect of AASL, there is an extra type of arm movement called the clap or C. It’s self-explanatory. AASL translation: Cx2S SUSx3F SUSx5S RTFx1 SUSx5S Cx10F LWx6Fsilly RTFx7S Wx6Snotsilly RTFx4S SUSx1 “Portuguese”, SUSx5S RTFx3 SUSx9 RWx1notsilly LWx5silly Cx1 SUSx9 RTFx4F RTFx7S RTFx9F Cx2F “C”. RTFx3F SUSx5F Cx8F RWx6Ssilly RWx8Fnotsilly. Key: x followed by a number means how many times you should produce that arm movement. F means fast, S means slow, and silly and notsilly are self-explanatory.

Quick question: Is AASL mutually intelligible with Northwest Greek Sign Language (NWGSL)?

YES!

I'm left-handed. I tried speaking AASL once to a person from Jerusalem for practice, and they seemed very offended. Apparently, because of my left-handedness, my Wiggle movements were all messed up, and i said that their cheeks were unpleasant in appearance and not voluptuous. I was considering getting help on solving this problem with my wrong AASL strokes, but since I'm a language learning Gigachad, I most likely won't. I'll update on if I need help.

It's nearly 7 in the morning and i haven't slept yet why am I watching this

yessir...finally
