I'm an ethnic ilokano, and this guys speaks better ilokano than me😅

As person living in Java, i'm so happy she said Suriname also. It means Javanese is not belong to indonesia itself but it's for all people who speaks it. Good representation.

I'm a native Ilocano speaker and that Guy sounds so much native. He's really good

I'm an Ilokano.. when I was in Indonesia I was so amazed how similar the language is to our dialect.. it is really fun to hear them talk and translate it to what I think they said lol

FYI The language structure of Tagalog is similiar to that of Old Javanese (Verb-Subject-Object). Javanese and old javanese also have infixes “um” and “in” like tagalog does. Here’s the example of some similar words : Tagalog - Javanese : -Insan - Minsanan = cousin - sulat = serat (high language) = write - pangarapko = pengarepku = my dreams - kalimutan = kalimutan (literature) = forget - putol = puthul = cut off - aso = asu = dog - dayo = dayoh = foreigner - bahay = bale = house - tatlo = telu = three - apat = papat = four - anim = enem = 6 - pito = pitu = 7 - walo = wolu = 8 - pangalan = pangaran (from base word aran) = name - hangin = angin = wind - mulat (to open one’s eye) = mulat (to see carefully) - pisak = picek = blind of one eye - ulan = udan = rain - lawa = rawa = lake - daliri = driji = finger - mabilis = aglis/gelis = fast - kidlat = kilat = lightning - magpakain = makani = feed - pangko = pangku (to sit on someone’s lap) - tulog = turu = sleep Etc Kapampangan, one of Philippines local languages also has some similarities to javanese to a degree that Tagalog or Indonesian don’t have. Example: Kapampangan - Javanese - Bengi = bengi = night - Gawa gawa = gawe gawe = make up / pretend falsely - alun = alun =waves - apus (fake) = apus (lie) apus-apus (fake) - masa = maca = read - mangan = mangan = eat - muli = mulih = go home - dalan = dalan = road Etc. Please correct me if I made mistakes. 🇲🇨 🇵🇭

Ah I love how the Canadian guy has a slight Filipino accent now

Love it, my family is Ilokano and I’ve spent time in Java. So nice to see these languages represented! I’m sure since both speak regional and national languages, it helps them guess the meanings. Great job to all involved!

Thank you so much for featuring my native language, Javanese (or "Båså Jåwå" as its endonym). As Dwi said in the beginning, Javanese has 3 registers : • Ngoko (The lowest register, used between people of the same age of younger, speaking this register to people older than you is considered rude.) • Madya (or "Middle") (used when you talk with people older than you,strangers you've just met and he/she might be a bit older, or when you want to refer to yourself in speaking) • Krama (The highest register, used when you talk with parents, teachers, boss, and someone who is respected in general, or even in some prayers) • There is also another type which is "Basa Kedaton" which, if I'm not mistaken, is used in the time of Ancient Javanese kingdom or what we call "Kesultanan/Kesunanan" (AKA "Keraton" in present-day Java). There's also Basa Kawi, which has a deep Sanskrit influence. All of the words she said in the video are in Ngoko, so let me give the Madya and Krama versions of them (Note that not all words are different, or vice versa): Ngoko - Madya - Krama Asu - Segawon - Segawon Mata - Mripat - Soca/Paningal Adik/Adhi - Adhi - Rayi Mangan - Nedha - Dhahar Rupa/Rai - Rai - Pasuryan Aku nduwé sapi wolu - Kula gadhah sapi wolu - Kula kagungan sapi wolu FYI Javanese also has its own script called "Hanacaraka", which is a descendant of Kawi script. It's not really used much in modern era, maybe only in some places or some people who are just interested in learning it, but students in Javanese-speaking area are taught about it in school since elementary school. Thank you! Matur nuwun!

Hi , sorry I missed the premiere, I was in the central of Amsterdam to make some footage for my channel. @ Bahador Alast, thank you for uploading this video, for the viewers thank you for watching!

Javanese priiiideeeee..... Finally.... Austronesian brothers unite!

It’s cool that non-national languages in the Philippines are much more similar to their neighbors non-national languages than Tagalog is

Wow, a Canadian guy represent Ilocano language 👍🏼😊❤️🇵🇭 I’m not Ilocano but I thank him and appreciate him ❤️👍🏼

Damn, my mother in law is also Ilocano from Luna, La Union.Her daughter, my wife, is now here in the heart of Java learning Javanese.

The guy who can speak ilocano seems so smart!

I know almost nothing about these languages but I found it nice and learned some new things. Good for Firth, he is very smart.

Javanese is spoken in Indonesia, Suriname, New Caledonia so it's still pretty international! Javanese/Indonesian-Sanskrit or Javanese/Indonesian-Maori would be cool!

Firth was actually featured in a Filipino show. Video is as informative as always. It was nice to have my language showcased like this. Or as we would say in Ilocano: Naglaingen!

Agbiag ti Ilocandia! Ilocano here from La Union, Philippines 🇵🇭🙌🏼

I would say that Javanese language is quite similar to the Phillipine languages, including Tagalog. The main difference is the grammar. Modern Javanese grammar is quite similar to the Malay (or Indonesian) language's, but the grammar of Old Javanese is actually quite similar to the Phillipine languages' grammar. And also, Javanese language absorb many foreign language from Sanskrit, Arabic, Dutch, Indonesian language, and Chinese languages, meanwhile, Phillipine languages received very little impact from Sanskrit, Dutch, and Arabic, meanwhile, the influence of Spanish and English language is quite strong in Phillipine languages.

WTFFFF NOW I GOT JAVANESE OH MY OH MY OH MYYYY THXXX MR. BAHADORR GOD BLESS UUUU

Cool ,you made it Bahador 👍 Austronesian brotherhood i think one of the cutest, both are not official language in both countries but has huge number speakers in Indonesia and Philippines , and also Javanese has the most Austronesian language but look at the 70-80%similarities in phonology/vocab even though they are separated in different island/country😍 Javanese and Ilocano

There are several varieties (dialects) of Ilocano, each having its own “ayug” (accent), pronunciation, and vocabulary. The Amianan (Northern) dialects, and Abagatan (Southern) dialects, The Highland accent and Lowland accent, The Sweet pronunciation / accent, Hard pronunciation / accent and Neutral pronunciation / accent.

Like this video. Not only because I'm an Indonesian and living in the island of Java. But the dialog between the two participants exchanging the languages information makes this video very lively and understood by the viewers. Kudos👍😉

I hope to see both of them back in your up and coming videos. My family watched it and have been talking about it. Great way to spread awareness.

Waaw.The word look similar.Im Surinamese/Indonesian.My ancesters are from Java/Indonesia and Im born in Suriname.I still speak the 3 javanese language and a lill bit of the bahasa Indonesia.We speak mostly the Sranang Tongo (Suriname language) and Dutch here.I can also speak a lill bit of tagalog because I have some Pinoy friends.I love Indonesia and the Phillipines.Like your videos.New subs here💪🇸🇷🇮🇩🇵🇭

Javanese woman is cute. I like how she smiles.

7:36 in south sulawesi we also say 'makate' (Bugis language) and 'makattik' (Toraja language), both words mean itchy

My wife is ilocano and I am Kapampangan and I found that both of our dialects has javanese similarities. wow. this only proves that we are under the same race. malay and indonesian race. wow i love this vid.

Firth seems really knowledgeable and interesting. Thanks for introducing his channel.

I'm from La Union, and also an Ilokano! I feel so proud !

in the banjar language (banjar is one of the tribes in Indonesia to be precise in southern Kalimantan) the younger sibling is also called ading, the same as the Philippine language

This is very interesting vlog I just came across. I was born in Urdaneta, Pangasinan in the Philippines. I speak Pangasinan, Ilocano. Tagalog, Spanish, English and a bit of Chavacano. There's definitely a similarity between Philippine languages and Indonesian.

I'm very very happy that there are more videos featuring other not-as-known languages from other parts of the world!

Both guests were amazing! Keep the good work up Bahador!

Wow . Ilokano looks and sounds like Javanese and Indonesian at the same time. I find Firth, the Canadian-Ilokano, really cool how he advocates the use of the Ilokano language. Agbiag ka manong ! 😎

10:08 In Thailand, there is a music band called Carabao (คาราบาว) and its logo also represents a buffalo.

🙋 hi.... I'm a Javanese Native speaker. I just wanna say thank you for making this video. Now i know Javanese has some similarities with another language 😊

Finally after long wait.. Thanks Bahador for making a video about my native language, Javanese, with 100 million speakers, perhaps it is the most widely spoken language in the world which has NO official status!

Another great video from your behalf Bahador jan. :) the more I watch your videos I always feel like there are so many things we don't know about our world. Your videos are very informative and also it brings the world together as if it's a single country 😊😊 and this is the most important fact that I like about .

i think its really interesting the way that dwi speaks javanese, obviously javanese has countless different dialects and she might be speaking one that ive never heard before. i can still understand her, its just the twang she speaks with is really really cool and different than to what i am used to. im from suriname, so the way we write and speak javanese has really stayed uniform. our javanese is closer to the javanese spoken in 19th century indonesia since our javanese hasnt had the same evolution that the javanese in indonesia does. you can even see in a lot of names of javanese people, where as surinamese javanese would have more sanskrit and traditional javanese names, javanese indonesians would have more western or arab names which i also think is really interesting. we speak in a more OSV sentence structure than SVO sentence structure which is probably where some surinamese javanese will have a hard time speaking with javanese indonesians, but im sure we might be able to understand each other quite well. we also have more of a stronger accent speaking javanese, sometimes when my family and i speak javanese, some of my javanese indonesian friends tease us saying it sounds like if cambodians tried to speak hawaiian, but its really interesting. this might just be my family, but i learned to write javanese using the original aksoro/aksara script, the one that comes from the brahmi script and resembles a lot of other southeast asian scripts, while a lot of indonesians use the latin script to write javanese which i always thought was interesting. im still bamboozled as to why i learned javanese in this way, but im not complaining. despite all this, really cool video! i was really happy when i saw javanese and ilokano together in one video. a video suggestion would maybe be javanese and sanskrit since there are countless borrowings from sanskrit. it might surprise a lot of people like the filipino and hindi video surprised me until i looked at the history of the philippines! cheers!

Wow amazing!!! Finally Bahador, you put out Javanese and Ilocano speakers!!!Hopefully Javanese - Sanskrit would be released soon Btw, there are similarities between Ilocano with Sanskrit as well. Javanese - Ilocano - Sanskrit - Eng Muka - mukha - mukha - face Adi - ading - adi - Brother Rupa - rupa - rupa - Form/face 🇲🇨 ♥️🇵🇭♥️🇮🇳

I was waiting for this. Thank you. I know him, his really good, that is how my parents sound. Proud Ilokano here.

the first word is ASU, nice choice 😂

Woahhh i didn't know that this video was uploaded yesterday. I knew it from your instagram several days ago.. I'm appreciated your effort to make this video even though through virtual meeting 😀👍🏻

I think you should do one on just Indonesian languages like Javanese, Balinese, Sundanese, etc. Then one on just the languages of the Philippines like Ilokano, Cebuano, Tagalog, etc. Comparisons between languages (both related & unrelated) of the same country can be a great theme in itself like Ethiopian languages Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromia, Somali, Afar, etc.

I'm an Ilokano and Agyaman ak (I thank you) for showing us our Language 😊

Didn't know about this video, my father's an Ilocano. I hope you make video between Tagalog and Javanese, I heard there are a lot of similar words as well

The word guess in this episode is the smoothest! 😊

I'm able to communicate with Javanese people with my knowledge in Ilocano, Pangasinense, and Visayan.

My mother tongue is Javanese. I speak Bahasa Indonesia, English, and Turkish, also understand Literature Arabic (fusha). However, I am finishing a PhD in Engineering, therefore I am learning another language, namely Python (programming) lol

You guys are amazing! I am an Ilokano from Ilocos Sur and you speak well. Well done!

As a Javanese speaker myself, I have never seen Javanese being used in this context as it is not the main Bahasa like Bahasa Indonesia. I’m so glad when my parents moved Qatar, we still speak this at home and I am still very fluent and have the perfect accent for it. Thank you this is amazing!

There were no national languages back then, and no boundaries between countries. People used to travel by the sea. It is amazing that some of words were kept intact despite so many adversaries like colonialism and modernization.

Wow 🤩 this is awesome 🤩 I’m an Ilocana from La Union 😊 so interesting! Thank you guys 😊❤️❤️❤️ Ading so nice to know that your in-laws are Ilocanos 😊❤️

I am trying to learn multi languages at once by listening to different dialects and and languages. I find it easier and less boring than concentrating in one alone. Thanks for taking up the similarities.

It's also interesting to know that counting numbers (1-10) in indonesian/javanese and ilocano are almost exact the same. Also with the animal phyton. We say it 'beklat'

Dang!Im so proud of this Ilokano guy, he knows our language more than I do. My parents are both Ilocako but I speak mostly in tagalog all my life. I cannot understand the deeper ilocano words

Akhire metu. mantap!

Can we have one with Javanese & Sanskrit?

Yay more austronesian languages comparison video

The rupa-face , I guess, comes from sanskrit, In sanskrit rupa means appearance/what you see !! I think so haha!!😃🙏🙏🇮🇳

I speak ilokano and i answer with you guys. It's a learning experience. Very informative. Also i had a maid who come from the far north ( tuguegarao) and she speaks a dialect way diff from ilokano which is "ibanag" and i let her read the instruction written in indonesian on my shampoo and she knows the meaning like the word REMBUT. she said it means soft.i was curious too. But yeah i'm learning. We shouldn't stop learning. Thank you guys.

Subanen languages have this schwa verb also. The "sapi" in the Javanese sentence which means cow has the same translation in our language. Most of Philippine languages adopted the Spanish "vacca" spelled as baka.

i'm a native javanese speaker and Indonesian as my scnd language (speak little English). i got very impressed with Firth's sentence "Adayo ti balayko (My house is far)". like the word adayo and dayoh (guest from far away in javanese) have same purpose of "far", and then about second word ''balay" has the same meaning with balai that has the same meaning in Indonesian and javanese as a building/house. FYI "dayoh" nowadays is rarely used by the javanese (my generation) to mentioning the guest from far away and being replaced with "tamu" the word from Indonesian that has the same meaning. btw i never knew the word "dayoh" until my grandmother told to my father that there were some guest visiting my house when i was around 8. luckily i could speak the high level Javanese at some degree because i life in countryside

This is what I've always waiting for. Amazing. Thanks. :). Btw. I'm an ilocano.

04/06/2022 INTERESTING! We peoples have interesting origins. Thank you for showing the different words which are so similar.

Greetings from Suriname where we speak mostly Ngoko. It's great to hear similarities.

I am an ilocano and this video helped me in understanding that our dialect is a mixture of languages around southeast asia!

I am Ibanag-Ilonggo but can speak Ilocano, yes there is some similarities to Indonesian coz i was once go to Surabaya.

It's interesting how itchy in tagalog is extremely similar with how torajanese, buginese and mandarnese as ethnic group on Celebes Island, Indonesia. All of them use 'makati' rather than 'gatel' to say itchy. Same with Tagalog. i'm an Indonesia, mix Mandarnese and Lampungnese. I found it interesting because many of Indonesian ethnic language are extremly similar with a lot of ethnic language in the Philippinese. Also I understand several Indonesian ethnic languages like Javanese, Mandar, Bugis, Toraja. By the way you did a great job, good video:)

Damn! You even got Firth on this!

That's really cool. I knew about Javanese but didn't know about Ilokano!

I saw Javanese and then I clicked. I suspected there is link between the two languages since long time ago...

this is so fun!!!! i would love to do this w international friends 😅

I've read that Javanese and Tagalog are very, very similar in structure, complexity, and roots.

Ilocano native here! and this is just amazing!

Wow didn't know ilokano have the word "dayoh" amazing, more Javanese video please :)

it's amazing how we have similarities in a lot of words. not just java and ilocano, but in our Filipino dialects

Really interesting. Thanks Bahador

I am so proud of myself being an Ilokano, and for you Brother, to be representing one of the Philippine dialogue/language don't really know. But I am really surprised by you choosing To speak or learn Ilokano which is harder than Tagalog. 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯✌️✌️

I do recommend the similarities of Javanese and Kapangpangan(Filipino) languages

If I was the one who being invited to this conversation, i definitely could totally ruin this program 😂😂 hardly notice some similarities due the accent. Maraming salamat & maturnuwun for the video. Interesting one 👍

this is good, they explain the word even the root word and also where the word derived. much, much better than the others who just talk and comparing words

Why am I only seeing this now? Multiligual here. Loving this content❤️💕 Bavi in Ibanag and Babuy in Ilocano Annam is #6 in Ibanag and Innum in Ilocano. Javanese and Ibanag are more similar than Ilocamo. Ibanag are natives of Cagayan Valley and Isabela, Isabel was part of Cagayan Valley, North Eastern Philippines.

Ooh conversation between Tagalo and Ilokano(or other Philippine Languages) would be awesome to see haha

I met Perth back in 2012. Such a passionate guy. Inspired me to study language.

I am ilocano from part of northernmost region of the Philippines I'm from Isabela and I can say your ilocano accent is really close to my accent but a very little differences because in our Ilocano accent here, thankyou appriciate your efforts to learn bro!! Agbiag tayo garod amin!!😇😇😇

Love your videos about languages. Greetings from the Philippines❤❤

Javanese is great sir. We love so much. Please if possible sir Javanese comparison with Sanskrit, Hindi, or other Indian langauges

I was smiling throughout the whole video.. Awesome lil' world we live in! 👍

You really can trace how civilization evolved through language. Start with body parts and you can similarities between languages right away.

This video is unique because these two languages don't have official status and most of the world doesn't know them

my language “Kapampangan” from Philippines has lot of similar words in Indonesia

This is really fun to watch because mostly ilocano and javanese Word seems easy to understand because most of it has a same meanings in malay( bahasa melayu) & bahasa sabah

I thought the video would be longer and had more words to reveal... But after all it is quite interesting

its nice to see a language that share some similarity to us, greeting from your javanese boi :))

I am from northern Philippines and I speak Isnag, Isnag is like a sister of ilocano, they lots of differences and lots of similarities, it’s like comparing Italian and Spanish But one difference is that Ilocano I thriving u like Isnag (it’s not struggling but not many people speak it, as a native speaker that’s scary, though it’s not a dying language, it still remains strong)

Fun fact, its theorised that in an old parent Austronesian language hand was called "lima". That's why you have so many austronesian languages using 'lima' as 5. Some even still have it meaning hand.

im from iloilo and in our location we speak karay a, which sounds more like the bahasa language of indonesia.there are words with similar meaning and the accent is similar.
