chocobonita You didn’t get it. This is what he meant : He is pissed why there a word “only speak english in america”, lot of people are annoyed when they can’t speak their own language in america.

@chocobonita what? If you're travelling then you don't necessarily have to speak their language. You're travelling not living there. What do you expect people to be fluent in a specific language before travelling there?

You're absolutely right. Not to mention English isn't even the original language of the US. The Natives had their own languages, like was shown in the video. Plus, America is supposed to be a meting pot of different cultures, ethnicities and customs

@@Chowder12345able umm English may not be the first language in north America but it is certainly the first and official language of the us lol.

@@beluwuga2573 That's not what I meant. The OP was talking about people who say "You're in America, speak English." If they really want to be "true Americans" by their own standards they should learn a language like Cherokee or Lakota. The problem is that there is no "true American" because the US was buuilt by immigrants from all over the world, which is what I was getting at

Lester Almazan Wait is Ilocano considered as a dying language?

As of now. It is not dying but native speakers are decreasing due to impluence of new technologies where children are exposed to foreign language at early though it has advantage and disadvantage.

@@lesterdellalmazanlest9091 nya ngay ngarod

Both my parents never spoke to me in their native languages. It's such a pity that they didn't feel the need to teach them. Sometimes parents need to take an active role in passing down the languages.

There was even a news story about a guy in his teens who was working to learn the world's 20 most commonly spoken languages

There's 1000sands of city's like that in the world, you can say every small town until big city in Europe has at least the same diversity like new york

I love how I have seen you watching and commenting on PBS news hour and a lot of other educational videos - hello from a Croatian-American born in Hell’s Kitchen NYC who also loves their current events! :)

Siyah Beyaz NYC is in the top diverse cities in the world. There are more languages spoken in Queens than anywhere else in the world (800 languages spoken in the city). You can’t find Dominicans, Indonesians, Taiwanese, Japanese, Russians, Ukrainians, Jamaicans, Egyptians, Koreans, Brazilians, Afghanis all living in the same city elsewhere. Although London and Paris are on the same list, you can’t really top NY when it comes to that

@@wdwfanatic1394 all this people you will find in Berlin, Zürich, Wien. London etc etc almost every city. I don't know what you talking about but there's nothing special about the diversity in New York.

You guys have done the best job of keeping your language alive. Out of all the Celtic languages, yours has the most native speakers. Don't worry you guys are very much noticed :)

Samatar Mohamed after everything England has done to try and eradicate the Welsh language, it’s amazing it still exists. There was something in the 18th-20th century called the Welsh Knot, where school children that were caught speaking Welsh were beaten. Thankfully Welsh is still alive, I just hope the fellow Celts follow us

@@cymrocam it's too dead to be spoken as commonly outside of schools and small islands

Verity what language are you talking about? Welsh is far from dead...

Feral Clown Can you explain why the globalization language is always English?

Johnny Ronimsom Exactly. Every meeting of world leaders. Everyone is speaking English or French.

@@mattk6101 We can unite as a species without completely erasing out everyones orginal cultural idenities its just a matter of encouraging ppl to embrace their differences as well as their similarities.

Speak gaelic or irish, my friend. Its dying

i feel the same i live in india and there's more than 19500 languages and dialects currently spoken in India, of only 122 of which are spoken by 10000 people or more. The list of endangered languages there is huge, not to mention the languages extinct and forgotten due to colonialism and the modern age. It makes me wonder how much more are still hidden in the world and even in my country

the irish language only seems to exist on the signs of motorways and airports and schools but that seems to be it

@@unequivocalemu there's Gaelic in train stations too :)

There are many Ilocano speakers yes, but it is decreasing as the children are being brought up speaking English because of youtube and the internet. Even from Rural Areas. I can say that I am kinda good in Ilocano but I often forget some words.

Sean I’m from a small town in North Carolina and this accent sounds completely foreign to what people sound like around here. I had never even heard of it before. So crazy to think about.

xSPARROWxx ikr? but that’s what makes it so cool. I wonder if anybody from Ireland/Scotland would find this accent familiar. I suspect it has morphed into its own unique dialect after so many years in the US.

I’m from NC and while we don’t talk like that here I can kinda pick up on some words and things they are saying, and to me it sounds like an Irish, Scottish and southern accent combined lol

You should be more respectful i think

@@Seanonyoutube Irish person here, and yes, some words or phrases sound quite Irish-y :)

Millions is an overstatement because majority of the languages that exist are a variation of a language family. Before the numerous Austronesian languages existed for example, there was one language they spoke until they spread out and evolved differently. What is sad to say is the death of cultures coincides the deaths of languages.

There are still many speakers of the language here in the philippines

I can speak ilocano

Ilokano is not dying it is the most common second language in Hawai'i. It actually is threatening other languages because it is dominant in certain areas. In the Cordillera Administrative Region- Ilokano is more dominant than the native languages of the numerous tribes there and the same with Hawai'i, Hawaiian is not natural second language but Ilokano.

The list of endangered languages there is huge, not to mention the languages extinct and forgotten due to colonialism and the modern age.

Aldi Dino Dialect is a variation of one language. Bulacan Tagalog and Nueva Ecija Tagalog are dialects of Tagalog. What you mean to say is there a "lot of languages" in the Philippines they are all separate and distinct they are not dialects, but languages.
