Because we think today of all Europeans as single race. Thus ethno linguistic rather than racial. Racial map would include Dinarics, Pontids, Alpinids, Nordics etc subraces of Europeans. People of every ethnicity can belong to any of above sub races altough some may be more common than others in particular ethnic group
As an italian, I think that classifying both Tuscany and Sicily, whose inhabitants have completely different cultures, under the same group, while leaving regions like Emilia-Romagna, which is much closer to the central italian culture than the venetian one, outside of it, is a little weird. I'd suggest making a new subdivision for the central italian dialects, which are spoken in most of Latium, Umbria, Marche and in some parts of Abruzzo, and including the tuscan dialects too in it, since all of these regions have been highly influenced by standard "tuscan" italian language and culture. Nonetheless, great work on everything else, keep going!
Emilia has nothing to do with central italy. It's northern italy and it was part of lombardy before 1861, we speak a celtic romance dialect just as lombardy and piedmont
@@andersen3692 Emilia was part of Lombardy in middle age but before 1861 there was independent dukedoms. Furthermore Romagna never was part of Lombardy. Indeed the name Romagna (land of romans) is just in contrast with Lombardy (land of lombards=longobardi). But you are right about the linguistic issue: both the dialects emiliano and romagnolo are with a celtic substrate like lombard and piedmontese. All dialects under the line La Spezia-Rimini (Tuscan, Umbro, Marchigiano, Romanesco, Neapolitan, Abruzzese, Pugliese, Calabrese, Siciliano) are eastern romance, above the line (Emiliano, Romagnolo, Lombard, Piedmontese, Veneto) are western romance,
In my opinion, the division of Italy that Daniele suggests - Northern, Central (Tuscany, Lazio, Umbria, Marche), and Southern - is justified but tricky. Such a division occurs in this paper, for example: www.nature.com/articles/srep32513/. The problem with it is that there's significant crossover between the 'Nord' and the 'Mezzogiorno' with the north and south parts of the centre, respectively. For example, people from Lazio and Abbruzzo can both cluster as southerners on a PCA chart, while people from Emilia-Romagna/Liguria and Tuscany can both cluster as northerners. The central group itself also shows significant differences within; Tuscans only share strong genetic affinity with Corsicans and tend to differ genetically from the Latin-Umbrian-Marche group who speak 'Central Italian' dialects. You can see this illustrated on the map and PCA chart in the paper which show (a) the significant overlap between south-central (ie. Lazio) and southern populations and (b) that the more homogenous Tuscan group clusters closer to its northern neighbours than its fellow 'centrals' to its immediate south: i.imgur.com/tpLc14V.png. With the North-Central-South division somewhat undermined or problematised by this evidence, a binary North-South division becomes more appealing. The question then is where to draw the cultural/genetic/linguistic 'line.' I think @Masaman classified Tuscan as a part of the Southern group out of linguistic convenience rather than on a historical/genetic basis. Tuscan is traditionally grouped as part of the Italo-Dalmatian language group that dominates Southern Italy, but it is notably not grouped as a 'Central Italian' dialect under the Italo-Dalmatian subheading, it's always considered its own thing relative to the dialects of Lazio, Umbria, and Marche. Genetically and culturally, it makes more sense to put Tuscans in the Northern group with which they somewhat overlap - more so than they do with Sicilians or Calabrians. A map here - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1683007/ - further illustrates this, showing that both the Campania-Lazio and the Tuscany-Lazio borders are genetically salient while the Tuscany-Emilia border is just linguistic: imgur.com/vdvf8Zr. A map of Haplogroup R1b-u152 distribution further shows Tuscan affinity with the North rather than the South: i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/ba/7d/cbba7d594c9f58d5594200a95adb8377.jpg. Tl;dr: I would prefer a North-South binary division of Italy on the map to a North-Central-South one. However, speakers of Tuscan dialects ought to be grouped with the North while Central Italian dialect speakers should be grouped with the South. I do agree with the general sentiment in this thread though that it's odd to see 'Southern Italian' extend all the way up to Tuscany, and if this is solved by splitting Italy in three it would be okay (though not preferable).
Oh man, I knew Italy will be a mess. I agree though. He should go over some parts of Europe again to look more after culture and ethnic-historic connections. It is similar but less extrem in Germany and Poland.

I come from the french department of Vendée and I can assure you that people living in the south of the loire-atlantique department, south of the Loire (what is called "Pays de Retz", including mainly Machecoul, Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu and Pornic) are NOT and never were breton speakers.

My family is from Southern France (South-East) and I live in Northern France And it really seems to me that we have genetical differences In my family we all have black or dark brown hair, and when I visit my grand-parents, it’s the same for their neighbors But in my school, everyone from French origin (they are mainly from Northern France) has light or medium hair color, most of girls have dark blond hair I mean I met no one except me from French origin with black hair (or even curly hair but I am the only one in my family to have curly hair so not very relevant) 😂😂😂 Physically, there is no difference about skin tone or eyes color, and it difficult to remarks the other differences But the difference with hair color is VERY remarkable and I think that it means something The differences about Northern and Southern France in food, architecture etc are very numerous
@@xXxSkyViperxXx Northern France is also Celtic. Thatʼs why 3% of the population there is red-headed, which is quite a lot in numbers, knowing that in Ireland is at 11%
As a native west-Frisian speaker. Everytime I see something about Europe and languages I hope that they'll atleast mention Frisian. It could just be my strong sense of nationalism though :P
Do you actually want to be independent though? I imagine this would have few benefits and a lot of negatives. I think more autonomy within the Netherlands and Germany you would have a better shot to preserve your culture and language and maybe make it more popular again. I root for you.
@@joze838 I don't think independence would be beneficial. My own thought about it is that Fryslân is like the east Germany of of the Netherlands in the way that we have a lot of agricultural area that fuels the rest of the nation for an important amount. (This is what I think, might not be 100% factual) What I would like is more recognition for our unique slowly dying language. Especially looking at Germany and the eastern and northern Frisian languages which are only spoken by a few thousand people and are very endangered. I didn't even know they existed until like a year or 2/3 ago.

I doubt the genetical difference. Frisians are one of many germanic tribes, which are genetically similar/identical. Saxons, Franks, Thuringians, Allemanns, Bavarians and others are all western germanic, as are the frisians. The difference is mainly cultural/linguistic, but every other tribe has its own dialect/language as well. Saxons speak plattdütsch for example. So frisians arent really any different from other germanic tribes.
an apulian and a tuscan would have a reeeally hard time understanding each other... or better: if the Tuscan spoke his "dialect" and so did the Apulian, the Apulian would understand the tuscan (because of the similarity with standard italian) but the Tuscan would never understand the Apulian.
@@sodinc We say that potentially each part of Italy ,because it has it's own culture and language, could be it's own country if it really wished, it is just that all those linguistic and cultural entities do not have an army of their own to claim it :) (if you think about it the only thing that differentiate a "dialect" from a language, it is having it's own army- ergo- nation state to legitimize it)
I can definitely vouch for this! My family is from Florence (literally where the Italian language started... Dante), and we moved to Australia in the year 2000. I grew up with both English and Italian, so i’m fluent in both but speak the Florentine dialect of Italian, which isn’t THAT much different to Italian but still has its fair share of differences. Anyways, i work with my Father who can barely speak english and we work with another Italian guy who moved here, who’s from Bari (Apulia) .. When dad and i speak in Florentine he can chat along with us, but my god when he speaks his dialect it sounds like a completely different language! Thankfully, he knows how to speak the usual Italian otherwise there’d be some communication issues 😂
@@GiulioImparato Why should we? The Italian national sentiment is even more stronger than the German one, which relies on the welfare to keep its unity. Italians want to be Italians, we are not like the Yugoslavs.
Greeks and Italians often go by the term “Una Faccia, Una Razza” (One Face, One Race), although it mainly applies to southern Italians as throughout ancient times south Italy was inhabited by Greeks (Magna Graecia). It’s pretty apparent aswell .. South italians have a darker skin tone and tend to be pretty short (not all obviously) compared to central and northern Italians. Also, us Italians can tell where someone is from in Italy judging by their last names
@@noensomserdegsoveomnattenp7732 yes thats true, the romans did in fact take over pretty much the whole of Europe.

Many Poles live in Czech Silesia, and Slovak Highlanders are of Polish origin. Basically, you messed up Western Slavs. *Lusatians* are hardly visible on the map you could use a more contrasting color. Fun fact: Carpatho-Ruthenians are also commonly called *Lemkos*
There are only two European races: the whites and the Hispanics/Latinx. Subdividing whiteness into "ethnicities/races" is often used by the racists to make excuses for their racism and as a justification for not checking their white privilege. Just sayin SMH I'm half Italian, btw!
@@jessicatriplev9802 The most idiotic thing I've ever heard, you must be a disgusting person.

"London is 50% native English, and Paris is 40% native French" The capitals and largest cities of the two of Europe's most populous countries not even being majority native (and this is the case, or will soon be, in many other big cities too) And then they say the great replacement is not real
Simple limit immigration if u wanna keep complaining, cos u deffo knownu cant suatain ur population by urself, u need immigrants, also have more children if u wanna keep ragging on about this...hmm also it seems no one like to talk about white flight, or white ppl moving out if these cities to rural areas or other cities, if u want Paris and London to be majority native simple, tell those ppl to move in and bang u got ur majority native city again...but we know that ain't gunna happen unless ppl have an incentive to move to the big cities, for example cheaper housing and jobs etc, the reason so many immigrants move to those areas is cos its the capital and wealthy, i guess another way is to distribute all the non-white groups equally across the cities and bang again u got ur majority white city again, ay u better right this down cos I'm "saving" ur ppl doing this giving u ideas
First, the stats for Paris are highly questionable because such "science" is illegal and data cannot be collected in France. Second, these 40% I suppose do not include the people who have been French for several generations but who can trace back their ancestry to other lands.
nothing ethno-racial about that map, it's maybe ethno-linguistic at best. Nothing wrong with that, just don't call it an ethno-racial map. Once a language becomes standardized or becomes lingua franca its connection to ethnicity and race fades quite rapidly through time.
This! I've been commenting on that for years. But sadly, it's not just naming. In some places on the map, it's clearly purely linguistical. In others, it seems he deemed culture more important. Honestly, it would be better to make at least two separate maps. More work obviously, but here it looks like he couldn't decide what he wanted to make.
@@Vitalis94 yeah you are right, he should pick what kind of map he wants to make and just make one same throughout. Without him explaining every part of the map the map is kinda useless.
Just One thing to note, it is hard to transfer Genetics from one ethnic group to another which takes thousands of years.. then to export Language and Cultural norms. Both are not the same. The former has much less infiltration and influence then the latter.
@@Da_Truth actually it is quite the opposite since once communication and culture transfer starts so do intermarriages and if one of the languages becomes lingua franca assimilation becomes rapid and easy, even for cases with no genetic transfer.
sadly i've noticed this trend in his videos, masaman tends to use a lot of loaded terms without giving a proper explanation, giving the watcher the chance to interpret it based on what they think is correct. he also implies many times that such race groups exist when in reality it's not as he says, he often conflates linguistic terms for demes and phenotypes maybe in an attempt to simplify them however in doing so he completely misrepresents them. in my eyes, this map of his is the culmination of all of this, his ignorance of real science, his simplification till misrepresentation and most importantly, his (whether intentional or not) complete negligence of his youtube audience, whether he realizes this or not he has amassed a huge following or racist audience who use his outdated explanations. it's not helping that he insists on using outdated 19th century terms that are intentionally avoided these days because they are pretty much meaningless.
Hey masaman, a few suggestions: -Sadlermiut people -Cossacks -Aboriginal canarians -Romani and Dom people -The mixture of Iberian, Celtic, Arab, Gothic and Roman blood in today's Spain -Jewish ethnic divisions -Sirenik people -Inuit subgroups -Polynesians reaching Antartica -Socotrans -Jeju people

Slavic languages gradually pass into another, so that it is more difficult to set a linguistic boundary by speech, that is, more by historical affiliation. So it is with Russians and Ukrainians.
There are transitional dialects and languages everywhere in Europe, where there is no significant natural obstacle or there ware no recent mass migrations like in case of Poles and Germans after the war (throwing out from homes is the better word in both cases). There was no sharp language border between Polish and German, whole variety of transitional dialects were between today central Poland and eastern Germany. In case of Silesia the most significant difference was the grammar, so vocabulary was vastly shared, exactly the same as in case of eastern Poland.
The English are at least 50% genetically derived from the pre-Roman Britons, Therefore, they are a mixture of Celts and Germanic incomers. The 'yan tan tethera' sheep counting systems of various parts of England preserve Celtic-derived numerals.
And so is Scotland. Genetically speaking Scottish people are much closure to English people then Irish people. For instance the Anglo-Saxon colonised all the way up to Edinburgh
Scotland is a prime example of a state created by a dynasty. The Dal Riadan MacAlpines stitched together a country out of the Gaels of Argyll, the Picts, the Welsh of Strathclyde and the English of the Lothians. Three out of four of these groups were Celtic speakers, however.
Genetics doesn't really have anything to do with Ethnicity. The Kingdom of Scotland was founded by the Scots, a germanic people who are, like the English, descendants of Anglo-Saxon immigrants to britain. In more modern History, Scotland and Scottish Nationalists have began emphasising Scotlands celtic history, of the native picts and the Irish-descendant Gaels, whose language is still being spoken and is now protected.
@@tonuka6257 Scots may be mixed with Anglo-Saxons, but canʼt be considered as such. Theyʼre Celts, the same as the Irish and the Welsh. There is a reason why red hair is at more than 10% in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Wow man.. Hadn't tuned in for a while. You've grown for miles in quality of substance! Great to have the language-gene pool side by side. This is going somewhere
I'm spanish. I look two mistakes in Spain, the groups that you have colored are linguistic groups, but really the genetic groups are: - Asturias, old Leon Kingdom and Western Andalucia together, because de christian migrations were from north to south. - Cantabria, Castilla La Vieja, Castilla La Nueva and East Andalucía together.
@@Sgajwkjdjsja, you are correct - we are not the same. You live in Vardar Macedonia, while I am in Moesia - of course, both historical regions are integral parts of the traditional Bulgarian homeland. As far as ethnicity is concerned, we are all the same.
That's sad :( It's their choice of course, and you can't force it on anyone. But I wish people cared more about preserving history and regional varieties
@@tonuka6257 I've seen this kind of thing happen to the minority languages of Russia over the course of my life. The languages aren't suppressed, in fact they're propped up somewhat, but most people decide to only learn the more popular language. As the number of people who know the language goes down, so does the incentive to learn it. It's a downward spiral that can't really be stopped. If no major upsets in the world balance happen, we'll all naturally transition to English being our main language eventually. In other cases, another language will take its place, but the linguistic unification of humanity looks to be an inevitability.

"the preferred language of >90% of Irish people is English". It's not our "preferred" language, it's the only one most of us are capable of speaking due to centuries long brutal English oppression. Most of us would "prefer" not to speak it, but you can't "prefer" your way to fluency in a language you didn't grow up in and isn't spoken by those you live around. If language revival was a mere matter of preference, there'd be many more successfully revived languages around.
the language is basically the same for both, galician has a more spanish-like pronounciation. the northren portuguese and galicians have the same celtic roots (there are ruins of the same people groups in both territories), both influenced by christians, arabs and other iberian kingdoms, etc. Although portugal is a VERY homogeneous country (unlike its neighbour spain), i would say there is a slight, almost impossible to differentiate, division between northren and southren portuguese. The south of Portugal has kinda been influenced more by arabs and has virtually no celtic roots, but thats pretty much about it. This is because galicia and portugal were once the same kingdom and portugal conquered its territory from north to south. As I would say, the northren portuguese and galicians are "the original portuguese people".
in the south of Portugal Arab / Berber influence is counter balanced by the influx of settlers from the northern provinces and by foreigners of the regions of Britain ,France and Germany,that fought in the Reconquista and were given land as reward .Galiza and the third upper part of Portugal are more homogeneous and reflect the remains of the Celtic culture of our ancestors.
Portugal isn't that homogeneous. The native Iberian people were in prolonged contact with Romans, Celts, Germans, Arabs, Phoenicians, etc. There are genetic differences in our territory that translate into physical differences between the population of the southern and northern regions. For example, most Portuguese have brown hair, the minority in the south has dark, curly hair and in the north, blond and straight hair. Another interesting example is the fact that in the northern city, Póvoa do Varzim, there are considerable casesof people with a rare neurodegenerative genetic disease called amyloidotic polyneuropathy. This rare disease is found around the world in some cities of former colonies of Portugal, such as São Paulo. This disease is also common in Sweden, as in Pita, Skelleftea and Uma. This disease was brought on by people from Swedenin the Middle Ages, who settled in this region of Portugal. It should be noted that Póvoa do Varzim has the highest concentration of blonds in Portugal. Genetically and, of course, culturally there are differences associated with Portuguese geography as in any country.
I don't quite understand what you mean by "The largest non-native ethnic minority in Switzerland is Albanians". Both Italian immigrants and German immigrants make up the largest groups of immigrants in Switzerland with 3,7% each. Is this about Germans and Italians not being *ethnic* minorities in Switzerland while Albanians are? Or is this about German and Italian being spoken by non-immigrant Swiss people as well?
That’s good question although Germans and Italians (although being technically nationalities), whether immigrant or not are generally considered native ethnicities for Switzerland. However his chart at 9:11 does show that kinda contradict his claim to my understanding because it says that Albanians are only 2.7 percent whereas Slavic are 3.1 and Iberian being 4.2.
@@billjoe5991 I ignored those bigger numbers for Slavic and Iberian respectively because those terms refer to people from more than one country. (Not sure if it made sense to do that.) When I saw "Iberians" at 4.2 %, I thought of both Spanish and Portuguese people and considered that both of these nationalities could make up less than 2.7 % of the Swiss population. The same goes for "Slavic"; Slavs come from a variety of countries. (I hope you understand what I mean.) And I don't know what you mean by "Germans and Italians being considered native ethnicities"? Are you confirming my guess here with that? "Is this about Germans and Italians not being ethnic minorities in Switzerland while Albanians are?"

In the Swiss pizza graf you said Albanian was the first foreign ethnolinguistic group which is not true. That honour is reserved for the Portuguese, as in the case of Luxembourg. Cheers
In Portugal, in the 1930s, 11 regions were created based on their cultural differences. Regions with which the Portuguese identify, however, they speak (roughly) only one language, therefore, the cultural diversity goes beyond the language. Europe presents a very divided map, as a result of its diversity, with many languages, cultures, ethnicities. In terms of cultures, it is not enough to say that they are different, but how rich they are: gastronomy, music, dances, traditional clothing, religious beliefs and festivals, architecture and construction techniques, traditional professions and in this context Europe has enormous diversity.

I have always wondered, What Exactly does French mean, are we just a mix of Gauls, Romans and Franks or is it one of these groups dominating the others?
That's where the whole concept of "ethnicity" kind of breaks down. There is no clear cut french ethnicity, because ethnicity is only a social construct. Ethnic identities rise and fall with common language, common education, common laws and common religion. When one of these things change, many people already consider it a different ethnicity despite nothing else having changed.

As an Italian i can say Italy is a very complicated place when it comes to regional dialects .. you might think people from Tuscany (or any other region) speak a generalised version of their said dialect .. But trust me, people from one city/town/village would speak differently to another even if it’s just 10-15km separating the places .. Of course they’d understand each other but it’s pretty noticeable lol. Certain words get changed, different expressions or even completely new words are added in dialects .. For example (i’m from Florence) if i were to call someone from Empoli a “Grullo” (silly person), he would defintely understand me but he himself would never use that word as they have their own dialect they choose to speak
The English language is the bridge that allows these different language groups to communicate with each other. It is the lingua franca of the planet. If you're an international traveler, or just interested in communicating with someone of another culture, English is the tool that allows you to begin an introduction.
In respect to the Balkans this is wrong. Croatians and Serbians never thought of themselves as the same stock before the advent of Yugoslavism, that first appeared in the second half of the 19th century. Even though some of the intelligentsia accepted it, it never took hold in the masses. Also the emphasize the difficulties Yugoslavism encountered, I have to mention the difficulties Croatians had integrating their own communities from different areas of modern day Croatia. And to top it all of I find it unfair that you decided to leave Croatian and Serbian of the map. Language is not comprised only of the spoken standard, it is also comprised of the numerous local dialects. Kajkavian and Chakavian are considered as their own languages that are a part of a bigger croatian language. They both posses their own seperate literal traditions, vocabularies, laws and grammatical forms. You can see all of this in the code that Croatian has on the ISO list. Chakavian and Kajkavian are also included in the ISO list and they are still living languages. Also even though language standards are intelligable the dialects which comprise them are not. Standard was intentionally design to make these languages closer.

@@Tree_a_Boar unfortuatly not only one area has any real group of Gaelic speakers, its a Region near Lochabour and has only 25% of the pop Gaelic speaking.
@@just_a_turtle_chad Well, these nations involved other races into their cultures, when they conquered them. It's a fair thing, that those people have a right to move in the anglophone sphere.
Masaman, I enjoy your videos! I feel compelled to point out that one language is based ON another, not OFF it. Same with ideas and concepts, works of literature and music, and so on. Keep up the good work! Edit: As long as I'm posting, please use "anyway" instead of "anyways." Cheers.
Excellent work as always. Some day can you tell us more about the ethnic Germans of northeastern France and their relationship with the Franco-phones there please.

Sad to not see Austro-Bavarian included, as we have a very distinct culture, language, cuisine, traditional clothing and all that. Sure nowadays this gets more and more germanized with every generation, but I would argue that the roots are still strong
@@stavrostziounis4756 There was a lot of Arvanite migration historically and also a recent Albanian migration. As you mentioned Aromanians ,Pomaks, But there are also Greeks from many different areas like : Pontians/all other Asia minor Greeks , Aegean islander Greeks, Greek Cypriots , Cretans etc... One could make an entire detailed video on Greeks. I agree it's not very expressible topographically but saying Greece is not ethnically interesting is just silly. EDIT: it's at least worth briefly mentioning a linguistic group as historically rich as the Hellenic one.
So,nobody in former Yugoslavia would say that the people groups of south slavs were the same,that is not true...We always knew who was a serb,croat,slovene,and later on when they invented montenegrin,macedonian and bosniak.Only people that said that they were yugoslavs were those of mixed origin or those exetremely loyal to the communist regime.
The twentieth century brought about the fact that in area of ex-Yugoslavia, pseudo-nations are invented and fragmented to such an extent that any local diversity should be presented as having nothing to do with the neighboring one. And it all started with religious differences that arose in recent centuries due to dynamic and turbulent past. This has gone so far that even some peoples have committed monstrous crimes against others, even genocide, as Croats committed against Serbs during WWII, when they killed almost a million Serbs in death camps just because Serbs are Orthodox and Croats are Catholics. That is why Serbs say about Croats: "Croats are Serbs ... but they are the worst kind of Serbs!" And Croats say to Serbs: "When will you understand that we will never be brothers?"
Thanks for calling out the Ruthenian dialect of Ukrainian and its influence from the Polish. My mother's paternal lineage is Lemko on the Polish side of this region, but they do not identify as either Ukrainian or Polish.
Great work, although I have to ask if you will make a part two to cover the European countries you missed out from this (Iberia, Greece, Scandinavia, England, Baltics).
Hungarians belong to the Carpathian basin we have been here for 1000 years the fact that after WW1 2/3 of the territory and 1/3 of native Hungarian population found itself outside the current borders does not mean we moved. The borders moved.
Quite interesting, i do have a few comments. Yugoslavia was a federation not one ethnicity. And serbo-croatian/montenegrin is basically the same language so not necessary to point it out on the map if you are strictly talking about language groupings, but if you wanna talk dialects then thats a different story, because the dialectal variation in these languages are as rich as the ones in italy, and although the standard language is one basically, there are many regions that speak different dialects which can vary dramatically. This dialectal variation exists in all balkan countries, going down to romania, kosovo and albania, bulgaria, macedonia and greece. When it comes to macedonian and bulgarian i have to specify a few things, being macedonian myself: These are not the same language like serbo croatian, both phonetically and grammatically (although there is much less variation at the grammatical level as far as any balkan language is concerned). Strangely this idea is being perpetuated, i imagine by bulgarians, saying the two languages are the same, basically a dialectal variation of one another, but this is laughable to anyone familiar with the dialectal landscape of the balkans which changes every 20km you go in a certain direction. This is an issue for three reasons: that foreigners learning serbian will have no issue understanding croatian as well, while a foreigner that has learned bulgarian will not understand macedonian at all and will feel screwed over for coming to a country where he essentially thought he could also speak and get by using bulgarian. The other reason is that macedonians themselves often point out the differences and why these differences matter, why some people choose to ignore these voices is not clear (jk it is, its political reasons, plus small countries no one cares). The third reason is historical: macedonian and bulgarian were created in two different countries by different groups of people, they were created using two different groups of dialects and quite famously standard bulgarian never managed to incorporate the macedonian dialects which were too distinct from the eastern bulgarian dialects, and this is the reason why a macedono-bulgarian language was proposed similar to serbo/croatian, but this never came to fruition, because bulgarians didnt want to include the macedonian dialects in their standard language and this created a schizm that led to the macedonians codifying their own language years later.. so you see,you cannot say two languages are the same when they are literally not identical and when they became separate languages because the unity between them was an unsuccessful project. Macedonian and bulgarian could have been created as a same language like serbo croatian was but for political and historic reasons this never happened so its not valid to compare these languages to serbo croatian ... One must also remember that with the introduction of a standard language dialectal variation is lost with the passing of the years, so what seems the same today was not always as homogeneous, so basicaly even servian and croatian could have been different if they had not been developed and codified together and by the same group of people ... These seem like unimportant things, but denying languages and cultures is what agressors do while they are preparing for an eventual war, just look at the situation with putin denying the ukranian language and culture, and taking this in to consideration i really dont believe these are issues to be swept under the rug. Lets just hope someone manages to steer them in the right direction. Finally, these languages might be mutually intelligible but what is often not specified here is that they are intelligible to native speakers, not just anyone learning the language. And quite honestly, native speakers of italian and spanish that have had the necessary exposition to the other language will for sure be able to understand each other well. Basically Italians can learn spanish easily and spaniards can learn italian easily, this is also the case with the differences between serbo/croatian, macedonian and bulgarian. That is, the balkan is not that big, so people are exposed to many different languages, and over time these people have learned to understand each other to the point of mutual intelligibility, because it wasnt that hard to do, just like in the example between spanish and italian. One last example regarding this is that croatians or serbians that have not been exposed to the southern languages will not be able to understand macedonian or bulgarian, and this happens often, also it depends on the person too, some people are just not good at it, and cant even understand the neighbouring dialect. But other people are good at it, and this does not stop just with the slavic languages, people understand each other even between different languages.. for example living at the border of romania you are likely to understand bulgarian, living on the borders of macedonia and bulgaria people understand albanian and greek.. so you see how mutual intelligibility is not often appropriate to describe this situation especially when we move out of the slavic group of languages, because understanding is not always mutual intelligibility. I believe this is simply an excuse used often when speaking about the slavic or other languages of the balkans, and i think that this is owed to people not wanting to bother with the complexity of it all, that comes in to view only after reading the academic literature. Cheers
Why show, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall as non-English speaking? English is their main language. If you’re to show the regional languages why not also show Ulster Scots? One other thing. London is most definitely NOT 50% English. It’s more like 35% at best! This is the effect mass migration has had on the UK.
Your right mass migration does have part in playing why English dont dominate london,..but would u like to talk about English ppl moving out of London, which has increased the decline of English ppl in London, and them moving to other cities and rural areas. I'd say if u want London to be majority English, limit immigration and give ppl an incentive to move to London, I'm sure u know why there are alot of ppl moving out of london cos of housing as it's expensive , hmm and i wonder which ethnic group is the largest which leaving London...well im sure u can feel that in
Just One thing to note, it is hard to transfer Genetics from one ethnic group to another which takes thousands of years.. then to export Language and Cultural norms. Both are not the same. The former has much less infiltration and influence then the latter.
Yes, but in Europe it’s difficult to get datas about ethnicity, (even more in France and even if it’s only for science) so the best thing we can rely on is often langages, even though it’s not always relevant
In 925 AD the Kingdom of Croatia was recognised by the Pope in Rome. At that time "Raska" ( later renamed to Serbia) was a region of Bulgaria ruled by Simeon I of Bulgaria. The Croatian/Bulgarian border was the river Drina.
This map has several inaccuracies. The ethnic groups are not distinguished by languages, but by the genetics of common populations... For example, the Basques and Navarrese are and are part of the Iberian or Hispanic Ethnic Group... And that proves it a DNA test. The same happens in China, where although the Han or Chinese ethnic group is divided into different language zones, in the end all (except logically Tibetans, Mongols, Manchu and others...) are Chinese ethnic groups and are related to genetic level.
Nice having a community that gives good feedback, he did say he reserves the right to change some things so maybe he'll incorporate that which he has not yet
@@susomedin5770 Both languages have the same origin, Galaico-Portuguese, the first language of the Kingdoms of Galicia and Portugal. Still today, in spite of centuries of Castillian assimilation, both languages are as close as any languages can be. Linguistically, the now authonomous region of Spain, has always been part of the Lusophone world.
