Lone Starr The Tagalog vocabulary wasn't complete when the revolution took place and Filipinos started talking in Tagalog instead of Spanish, so they used Spanish words and put them into Tagalog pronounciations (ex. Revolucion=Rebolusyon). After that, the Americans came and the same thing happened, except for English words that weren't translatable into Tagalog.
Miah Nuguid Exactly, it is not close to Spanish like G Gaviria said. It absorbed some words from Spanish, just like it did in English and along with other languages.
Lone Starr The Visayan dialect has more Spanish words. I was surprised when I watched a Spanish program that a lot of the words are familiar. Hehe.. But the Chavacano dialect is still the closest language to Spanish. In the call center, there are plenty of Chavacanos doing Spanish language support.
What Asian language sounds the best is pretty hard to determine from a single speaker of each language. Some speakers can make their language sound amazing while others can make that same language sound like crap.
exactly. im korean and the above korean sound is from a TV anchor whos very well trained to make a sound. my point is most of peoples sound is far from the great one including me.
It's not a North Korean accent. This is the standard accent(Seoul) of South Korea. Some provinces even in S.Korea have different accent from this. The thing you heard is actually 'kim jung hye Reporter' which will come up for next session.
yeah that is the Standard Korean or what is known as the Seoul Dialect people learning korean often will speak with the standard seoul dialect there are other dialects like in busan they have a really strong manly type of dialect if you are learning korean and go to korea you will be able to understand more in seoul than anywhere else in korea its easier to talk to people with a regular standard dialect
Agree. Two biggest Asian cultures that are well known across the internet and medias = two most loved Asian language. I guess it's hard to decide if you love something when you just see it the first time.
+Nguyen Hoang Kien Maybe they just sound good to someone with English as a native language? Either way, I loved a lot more than just those two myself. :\
@blissxful _ Malay (Indonesia) What I understood was Malay from Indonesian traditional language, because the language is still pure not mixed with English ...
@blissxful _ I mean Indonesian is from Malay (Riau), And now I know that the Malay language differences from Riau and Malaysia are very different. Especially now with a large amount of English vocabulary mixed. And when I listen to Malay (traditional Indonesian) and Malay (Malaysia) are completely different (Traditional Malay). Maybe it's because the mixing of English vocabulary is different. That's what I mean.. Do you understand ?
where did you get the Filipino clip? it’s not even from real news. HAHAHAHA it says a fetus rode an elevator to the 1,997th floor of a building. the news anchor also used a fake Japanese name and said “wazzup wazzup” 🤣🤣🤣
It is not that kpop fans are commenting "Korean is a beautiful language". In the first place, Korean is a beautiful language, and that's why kpop could catch on around the world.
@@TheIsraelMendoza Look at the comment section. Many people here commented that Korean language sounds beautiful. I'm talking about that. I didn't ask about your personal opinion
It's easier for people to find a language beatiful when they've already heard it. Most people never heard any of those languages except Korean Japanese and Chinese.
I love Korean sound admiringly when the Korean presents their stuff. They always look elegant and intellegent. The language is very classy and the intonation has high quality.
Most beautiful languages: 1. Korean. First time I hear it, this is such a beautiful singing language. Very sweet, I wished to listen longer, it's very soothing. 2. Malay/Indonesian: This has a very friendly tone. Kind like Korean, but sounds more like daily usable. Soft sounds, but talkative. Where Korean sounds more like a love language, I'd describe Malay as a family/close friends language. 3. Japanese. Now this sounds very intellectual! Very manly, very self secure. Really a language to boast with or to frighten enemies haha. Mind and muscles in one language, you don't find that in another language! By the way I'm Belgian, and unfortunately I am a complete amateur of Asian matters.
@Bia Tch i think indonesian sound more to matured or harsh/aggresive/strong/fierce sound but it so cool and pleasant to heard just like fillipino language because of its spanish,dutch/french+javanese fluence .. but for me as Malaysian I think standard malay language sometime sound more cute and soft rather than Indonesia language ..
I love Korean and Thai (or Laos sounds same Thai) , their sound are melody and good. But, I love the most Vietnamese language, cuz I am Vietnamese , haha
Im Hispanic so obviously im not baqing on my nationality but... my fav are: 4 - Indonesian; its sounds soothing and kinda similar to hindu 3 - Hindu; lol i like the hindu language because to me i think it kinda soft yet powerful 2 - Japanese; honestly this language is like a combination of Sexy, Cute, and Smart... when i say smart i dont mean it like "oh asians are smart" i mean like i feel like im listening to a sexy/cute person speaking 'smart-ly' lol . . *drum role* . . 1 - Korean; Omfg everything i said for Japanese plus it's soft and i think it sounds a lot more romantic than the so called "romance languages"... my opinion of course. and of course, as i said im Hispanic, i speak spanish and yes i think korean is more beautiful than my own language. though i do love my own language as well lol. Anyone want to give their opinions on my opinions? hate? agree? reply!
I'm Hispanic too, I've been wanting to learn some of theses languages, since I am majoring in business, everyone says to learn mandarin but honestly it seems so fast and harsh. After watching this video, it seems like Korean and Japanese were the ones that sounded soothing,steady flow and actually nice toned. So now idk what language to learn /: !! But I know mandarin is spoken in many many many places, mind giving me advice about this?
+itstinymc well japanese and korean are also not just limited to their countries. there's things like anime from the japanese and kpop & kdramas from the koreans. personally, obviously, i'd go for korean but you do you. its true that mandarin is very useful but its not really essential for anything. Learn whatever you like most! a plus you can learn mandarin after you learn either korean or japanese if you like. I hope I could help :)
+Kim Taehyung Seriously? You can only name Chinese singers that were/are in the Korean industry. Please don't classify yourself as a C-POP fan when you only know Luhan, Wu Yifan, Huang Zitao, Zhang Yixing, Mark Tuan or Jackson Wang. And Mark Tuan is a Taiwanese-American singer that raps in Korean.
***** But you have only listed Luhan which was a former EXO member and Mark Tuan who is an American-Taiwanese. He doesn't even sing in Mandarin, Cantonese nor Taiwanese?? Luhan sings in Mandarin but it's possible that you only know him because he was famous in Korea.
Dylan Thomas Frankly, I don't even know who Hao Di is. The reason why I was mad earlier is because Suga Min Yoongi, who is obviously a kpop fan because of her name and profile photo, says that she likes Chinese artists but proceeds to name only Chinese people that have been in the Korean industry.
what these sound to me ############################################# 0:06 tamil - a chattering indian housewife 0:26 hindi - a relaxed taxi driver 0:51 mongolian - falconry instruction manual 1:12 korean - hellooh, how düü yüü düü ? 1:29 japanese - your new boss showing you your workplace 1:48 mandarin - a housewife bargaining at the thrift store 2:09 wu chinese - jackie chan giving instruction on a movie set 2:27 taiwanese - your chinese lawyer discussing the case 2:51 teochew - the chinese weather report 3:15 hakka chinese - a woman talking to other women 3:34 cantonese, like a chinese sports reporter 3:56 thai - lots of pop noises 4:15 khmer - sounds like a chicken coop 4:35 laos - your sage old uncle or a martial arts teacher 4:55 vietnamese - the lady from the hotel reception 5:19 filipino - your school teacher 5:39 malay - asian news anchor
+St. Mark Thai and Laos almost sound the same, i could almost understand it, Thai have a rolling of the tongue like spanish, which they are proud of and show off/exagerate in their news broadcasts , but the locals dont roll the tongue, they'll just use L instead, sort of like difference between beijing accent and guangzhou accent
Obviously, most people will say Korean and Japanese sound the best, but that is because they are expose to it more. Most young kids these days are mostly influenced by: Anime/Manga & PS, Nintendo vs Kpop/Kdrama, Webtoon & Esports. Plus both countries have insanely great food culture too.
@DARK SIDE No, you don't have to love Korea. I don't care if you hate my country. The problem is that you are angry with our people. "Both men and women in our country are plastic." This is a problem. Of course, I feel bad as a Korean. I'm sorry for writing a misleading article.
Brandon Manuel Not quite that simple. The idea they are simple is a myth helped by the fact that native speakers of these languages are very tolerant to grammatical errors made by non-native speakers. Malay and Indonesian are highly agglutinative with their extensive use of prefixes and suffixes which they call "imbuhan" and "akhiran" and a word can have both at the same time. Also they exhibit a high degree of diglossia and complex and nuanced lexical choices in daily communication.
Taiwanese, Korean, Cantonese, Japanese, and Thai are the most familiar with me so I would also say they sound the best to me. I loved listening to all these other languages though.. I’d love to explore more about each one now that they’ve caught my attention. Maybe one day I will actually learn a new language, lol.
My list: 1. Korean (because it sounds cute and intelligent at the some time. Also the writing system is genius.) 2. Thai (It looks and sounds like poetry to me) 3. Vietnamese (I like the tones a lot) 4. Japanese (It also sounds cute like Korean, but the lack of nasal sounds bores me a bit) 5. Mandarin (I'm not sure why with this one, I just like the phonology best out of the several Chinese languages) I'm from America. I also like music and TV shows from countries these five languages are spoken in.

DragonPolyglot you should not put Vietnamese under Thai 🖕🏻
성나연 . I'm Cantonese and can speak Cantonese. I can understand the language pretty easily but if your first language was not Cantonese, you would have no clue. you would need to memorise the Chinese characters to write them and have spot on pronunciation or the word you would say will turn out something different
@@KAORI-wz1bl you do realize that you're making Japan look bad? By spreading hatred towards koreans just because you're a japanese nationalist prick simply makes Japan look pathetic
5:25 If you are a Filipino, you would laugh on what the hell this dude is talking about "a Fetus able to climb a building using an Elevator" ffs XD LMAO
Taiwanese, Hakka and Mandarin are really soothing for some reason. But I also really liked Mongolian and Korean. The way the r's are pronounced is quite nice.
@@ManBug-iu1fu haha, i m not lying, japanese has best in kaigo (polite from) n sometime cute. Koreans more similiar to hokkien (chinese dialect in souther china)
Thai sounds very good in traditional music, but I really like the way Korean sounds and Japanese sounds like a very effective language to communicate in Bc the phonemes are clear and concise
batulzii able Wow I didn't know the difference in dialects mate, thanks! I love Mongolic origin words in our language such as: Batyr/Baatar, Altyn, Ulus, Qurulta, Tamyr/Tömriin. My surname is also Batyr(Batur) :)
I'm Japanese, so naturally it sounds 'normal' to me. Korean and Japanese sounded "pleasant" to me. Idk how to explain it. I love listening to the Indonesian language for some reason, it's really cool. also Tagalog sounds like a really nice rap. LOL. I love how it sounds as well. After reading the comments about Mandarin, I had a skeptical thought in my head but when I heard it I died. Sometimes I don't understand how you can tell where words start and end!
+김도진 True! Also there are many words that are the same in our languages, like 약속,신문, 가족, 사진, 시간, 공원, 설직히, 성격, 기분, 도로, and 아르바이트 .... There's many more but I don't want to list them all! haha. Also, isn't our sentence structure the same? The particles are pretty similar too. I want to learn Korean, but I just can't find the time to. I think it'll be easier to learn because I can speak Japanese. Do you think that'll help?
I just mentioned everything you said... Haha Sorry. What do you think is the easiest way to learn Korean? I already memorized hangul because that is the easiest part. So I can read and write...
Moon Song Jin yea! Japanese people can't pronounce a lot of syllables that are in English/Korean etc. I didn't know it sounds similar to the Busan dialect though! that's cool. And yea, hangul is SO EASY compared to our writing systems haha... that's why I was able to learn it so quickly. :)
Moon Song Jin I have bits of kansai dialect because my mother is from Hyogo (very close to Osaka)!! I am actually so fascinated by this haha! I really hope I can speak korean fluently one day, then I would know 4 languages and I think that is very useful :) My main langues is English though, because I'm a New Yorker... How did you learn korean?
I am INDIAN that's why it sounds best to me cause I can understand the language but after that Korean Japanese and malay sounds good..(but I didn't understand anything)
Korean & Japanese for the top 2, no doubt about it (even if the influence from their respective entertainment industry is strong) But if you take out both, there is a group of closely related languages that fairly popped up in the comment; Malay, Indonesian & Tagalog. All are from Austronesian language family, have no tone, pronounce as you read & sound neutral as the Romance languages (Spanish, Italian etc.) My point is Malay, Indonesian & Tagalog are pretty underrated.
The usage of chinese character is not often in Korean daily lives. It has been a cultural trait till 90's to use Chinese charaters in newspapers, administrative document, and academic papers as Korea had used Chinese writing as symbol of aristocrats. However, the reformation of Korean nation has changed this dramatically and now unless someone takes a major in Korean History, Korean, or other Chinese/italian related subejects, most Koreans don't need Chinese characters in real life.
In this instance I'll say "you saved the best for last", I did not understand a word of what was said in any of the spoken languages but Malay did sound very nice. Second choice would be Tamil All in all I loved the video though, looking forward to another one (or two) covering central Asia and the Indian subcontinent
夜露死库 I think only Japanese sound. I have watched a video and Japanese is similar to 温州话wenzhouhua in many words. Korean language is like villagers' language in my ears.(no offense) ca, cou
Jenny Cheng I have SO many friends who speak Mandarin. None of them talk like that. I'm not saying you are wrong, but from experience, I just have never heard Mandarin sound like that.
It is the way they are brought up. I had friends from China who tells me usually "farmers" do what they like hence they sound loud and direct. "City" people are more "quiet".
That is Malaysian. The guy who made this video mistaken it for Malay/Indonesian. Indonesian language is a variation of Malay but is a lot more tonal than Malaysian.
in my opinion 1. Korean pronounciation is very clear so I can understand a lot more, it's a very beautiful language. 2. Mandarin and Cantonese I think the Mandarin one was from the news so that's why it was so fast xD. but it's very nice to listen to. as well as Cnatonese 3. Japanese It's like a mixture of Chinese and Korean pronounciation it's very cute 4. Thai At first It was a weird language for me because I was never used to hearing it, but them I realise it's a very nice language. 5. Tagalog It is very close my mother's tongue, bisaya and cebuano so I find it very nice to hear. and also the tagalog one was also from the news that's why it sounded kinda boring haha
장선우, I don’t mean to sound rude, It’s just annoying to me that people only like a language because of popular media. It’s almost gross to me. I mean, I personally like Korean as well, but it almost seems as it’s only liked for the music industry and it just seems depressing
***** You're a complete idiot. Arabic maybe semitic but it is an ASIAN language since the Arabian Peninsula is located in WESTERN ASIA. Are you kidding me? Uzbek is also asian you clown because uzbeks are CENTRAL ASIAn, plus they look mongoloids. It's not Pashtun it's "Pashto" you dumb idiot. Pashtuns are the ethnic group who speak the language and it is also a CENTRAL ASIAN language considering the proto indo-european language started from there. Clearly you don't know anything you dumbass! Asia is a big ass continent, it doesn't only portray to east asia.
JeromeLeong there are lots of other ethnicity in middle east than Arabs, sure they are the majority but there are also lots Persians, Turks, Assyrians, Jews and many other people, I think your knowledge about middle east must be zero to say something like that.
