Ha ha!

It's quite wrong though. They used several modern Greek vowels instead of the ancient Greek values. That did make it easier to understand as a modern Greek speaker, but it really is not accurate.

It's impossible to know for sure, but Coptic is similar enough that linguists have been able to make reasonable guesses by tracing the language's trends back in time.

@@urbannsquirrelthe reconstruction presented in this video is based on that premise

There's a whole page on Wikipedia dedicated to changes in pronunciation through time, and even if it is largely imprecise, with enough critical thinking and IPA knowledge, you should be able to pull off a decent egyptian accent. I myself am working on writting a report summarising and precising the various rules and specific phonemes of Middle Egyptian (which is considered the Classical period of Ancient Egypt)

J'ai bcp aimé l'égyptien aussi si doux à l'oreille et le latin qui m'a permis de comprendre un peu

I had the idea of building a time machine, and sending a reel to reel analog tape recorder back in time so we can get some actual sound samples. I was told that wasn't possible at this time! PFFFFT!

The one in the video is both ecclesiastical and classical mixed up🫤

A me pare che la pronuncia latina fosse più morbida non così zoppicante. È chiaro che a parlarlo non è una persona umana ma una voce robotica!

@@thebat729 Plus pauses made in some weird places (like AFTER "sed")

Classical Latin never pronounced "v" as a modern v it would have sounded like W. Only church Latin pronounced it like a modern V. Similarly in Classical Latin "C" was hard as in Cat not soft as in church Latin.

Thank you for your comment. The Latin here is also really far from being ancient.

Totally agree . Maybe i can understand about the diphthongs maybe but the way a western european probably an English speaker is reading Greek it is a jok .

Thanks 👍♥️🙏

@@toolanathema In my opinion it would sound closer to the ancient pronunciation of the text if read by a modern Greek, who certainly retains after 2,000 years the same pronunciation as his ancestors. Fluent pronunciation makes all the difference. In the video the pronunciation is problematic!! It's like a Greek trying to pronounce a Victorian English text with a Greek accent. Queen Victoria would not be thrilled with the result!!!

Latin didn't go extinct like the others either, the language was still the language of the catholic church when each of the dialects of Latin broke off into the romance languages today, so pronunciation was standardised in the 8th to 9th Century CE to the ecclesiastical pronunciation, which was used quite commonly up until about the mid 19th century BC

Urartian is not an ancestor Armenian ???? It's not even in the same family. There was some borrowing sure, but they don't share a common ancestor.

@@kevinthecat9704there are still words that we use that are similar

@@TigranHakobyan-jh8ue yeah i know. Like I said, there are some borrowed words, but its not an ancestor to Armenian.

Bcz in school we learn classical Sanskrit not vedic. Vedic Sanskrit you won't understand much of it, for instance try to read Rigveda and then any Puranas, you'll find purana as more easily understandable while veda be much more difficult

Sanskrit cannot change as it is a constructed theoretical language like Esperanto (with the difference that Sanskrit tried its best to include every difficulty of the various Indian languages they wanted to coalesce in it, whereas Esperanto is a simplification of a little bit of every European language).

@@MrMirville It is not a theoretical language. It is the ancestor of all Indian languages in the North. All of Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi is evolved from Sanskirt. Now go somewhere else and argue that the earth is flat. You sound totally ignorant and a troll.

@@MrMirville That'd be inaccurate, it's not a conlang, referring it in that manner would be bad linguistics. Daksiputra Panini, Bhartrhari and other grammarians did not attempt to coalesce various Indian tongues when he ended up creating what we call Classical Sanskrit or Paniniyan Sanskrit. What he did was to introduce Grammatical reforms and rules to formalize a dying natural language whose regional dialects had begun turning into Independent languages, which resulted in it freezing from further natural development as it turned into a language of liturgy and the intellectual classes. If anything, Classical Sanskrit is less morphologically complex than Vedic Sanskrit. You could argue that Classical Sanskrit happens to be a very formalized natural language that appears constructed, seeing how it's direction was significantly influenced by the pronouncements of grammarians.

@@anirudh177 I have caricatured my point a little bit : actually they tried to make all texts they considered sacred readable by the rules they tried to formulate and edict, even though these sacred texts might actually come from dialects distant from each other : Sanskrit has integrated undeniably even "non-Aryan" root words, grammatical forms like the "absolutive" (very characteristic of Tamil), and sounds like the lingual consonants that don't exist anywhere else in the Indo-European world but are the most prevalent in Tamil. But the fact is that Sanskrit is easier to learn if you learn it like if it were a conlang, precisely because it has more regularity in its numerous noun and verb forms. Sanskrit despite having sacred texts written in a very inflexional language like most Slavic languages still are, has by itself more the characteristics of an agglutinative language like Turkish or Esperanto, especially if you read rather technical manuals of yoga or astrology : everything is composed of nominal sentences made of huge compounds. One proof of its composite nature is the presence of so many past tenses that more or less mean the same thing (namely the equivalent of a simple ptreterit like the English one).

yes, i agree.... also maybe valarian...

I am italian, from the lands of the Etruscans. We have absolutely no proofs about their pronunciation. We can hardly read and understand their language. The actor of the video looks as a man from northern Europe while the Etruscans were a Mediterranean people. We can find better their heritage in their way of life, food, position of woman in society, craftwork and art.

@@mauriziodesanctis1159 No, Etruscans were Turkish.

@@greekwarrior5373 Oh, you are the Turkish 🦃 cockroach who pretends to be Greek. How is the Earthquake doing, Ogluzguzkhan?

As the Italian said, we have no way to know how they sounded like. The sounds portrayed here might as well be pure fantasy.

@@greekwarrior5373 Recent studies have found the Etruscans were an indigenous people from the area. For years archeologists and historians believed the Etruscans were somehow related to the Turkish peoples. Now they are saying "no." Sometimes there's probably more accuracy in just throwing a coin and seeing which side comes up first........

It seems as though each speaker is speaking about their gods and goddesses as key words in the text relate to a name of a god or goddess.

yes, I don't know why these AIs are only done in male voices and figures.

​@@v4v777Same as the Latin one.

I believe the Sumerian language was the first

It's also parsed weirdly. It's as if I was. Talking to you like. This instead. Of normally.

I highly doubt it was full of autotune like this video. None of this sounds human.

@@coolname2629 Exactly, none of this sounds like a real human language. Latin does not sound like Italian or Sardinian at all, Greek like Modern Greek, Sanskrit like Hindi or Urdu. Makes you wonder.

The pronunciation of all languages was computerised. An algorithmic and not natural flowing pronunciation.

Sanskrit is still actively used today as the religious language of many South Asian traditions

Maya,chakra,karm,samsara, Aryan and yog are famous Sanskrit words. Several Sanskrit god names like indra,ashur are also famous Many mantras in easterm Buddhist traditions are in Sanskrit.

So fake news should be taught to children? Make no mistake, we have no idea how those languages sounded like

That is, the phonecians are definitely the anscestors of the hebrews, imagine how rebellious abraham was in his day by refusing to sacrifice his son to Ba'al

@@Kyle-uz1rp brother language not ancestor

​@@Kyle-uz1rp it's because Phoenician and hebrew are both dialects of cnaanite which makes them sister languages while arabic is more of a cousin language because herew and Phoenician are western Semitic and Arabic is southern Semitic

keeep dreaming@@Kyle-uz1rp

@@Kyle-uz1rp Officially, it was the Jewish god Yahu/El who demanded this sacrifice and then had second thoughts. But you are definitely not wrong. Fun fact 1: Ba'al just means Lord, and was sometimes used in this sense in reference to the Jewish god. But it was also used as the name of a specific god of thunder and war. The Jewish god was the result of a merger of El, creator of the universe and father of all other gods, and Yahu, a god of thunder and war. El had been the main god of Israel=Samaria (northern kingdom, capital Shechem), and Yahu of Judah (southern kingdom, capital Jerusalem). Some of the most important parts of the Jewish Bible were forged out of northern and southern texts that came from a time of conflict between the two kingdoms and vehemently contradicted each other. So in a sense it would be as correct to say that Ba'al = Yahu as it is to say that the Jews have only a single god. Fun fact 2: The fact that there are prohibitions against human sacrifice in the Jewish Bible indicates that this was a practice that existed at the time and that the texts wanted to stop. The purpose of the Abraham story was probably to give a justification for the new prohibition. So clearly humans were sacrificed to Yahu/El. Some scholars believe that (only) in this context Yahu/El was referred to with the honorific 'Molokh'. The passages referring to this were later reinterpreted as being about a different god with this name.

V was supposedly pronounced like a W and all C's were pronounced as a hard C or K

Seems like all these languages are reciting the same text… „In the beginning there was the Word.”

I thought that! The only word that I understood in Greek was the word “logos” and the in Latin,the word “Deus” and I thought wouldn’t it be cool if they were saying John 1!

If you know any of the roman languages, it's logical that you understand parts of it. But also his pronounciation is mostly modern here. Based on italian. Original latin sounded different.

Português vem do latin :v

O nosso Português tosco é derivado do latim, assim como o Espanhol, o Italiano e Francês e outras mais. Por isso somos chamados de latino-americanos ou sul-americanos. No passado, latim era obrigatório nas escolas, hoje somente nos seminários nos cursos de Teologia.

There are plenty of languages in this video that are still used and learned today. Such as Sanskrit in indias schools

Languages can be connected up to about 8000 years ago. Beyond that, it becomes extremely difficult or impossible to differentiate between random chance and an actual relatiuonship. Ex: Indo-European (ancestor to English, Hindi, ect...), Uralic (Hungarian, Estonian, ect...) and Tupian (Tupi, Guarani, ect...) are about 5000 years old, Algic (Cree, Obijwe, ect...) is about 7000 years old, and Austroasiatic (Vietnamese, Khmer, ect...) is about 4500 years old. The only family to break this is Afroasiatic (Arabic, Hausa, ect...) which is, at the low end, 12000 years old.
