"Because the Romans were weird" is the answer to a lot of questions about why our culture does this or that. SOME SMALL CORRECTIONS: 1. Calling "Caesar" a "last name" is more questionable than I thought. It was a name that people inherited from their parents, but Roman naming was weird and not exactly analogous to the modern system. 2. I implied that modern Russia was significantly more ethnica...

"Tone" doesn't make any sense when you think about it. NOTE 1: Sometimes people will talk about "secondary stress" or "secondary accent" or something like that.

I know it might sound redundant to say that there's only ever one syllable with primary accent, but let me put it thi...

    A slang is a slang. Just because you're afraid to call it that in the US due to political propaganda and censorship, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world has to accept this "AAVE"--which is nothing but a perverted and askew version of American English spoken by intellectually impaired American people who struggle with proper English language--as anything other than a slang. It is a slang and it is specifically spoken by a very certain and known social group of poor and uneducated people. And that's what differs it from a real dialect or, god forbid, a real language: these are spoken regardless of social groups. In this sense this "AAVE" as you call it is much more akin to how some intellectually impaired immigrants, who have issues with integrating into the society that they immigrated to, refuse to learn the proper language of the land and instead speak a really perverted askew version of it mixed with a load of native words from their own language, whatever that is. It's not a dialect. It's a slang. The whole rest of the world knows this, but somehow Americans are really afraid to call it what it is and keep trying to pretend like its a real thing, not a result of education system failure.

    It's pretty clear that first languages developed separately at different times in different places, completely unrelated to each other, because the world was completely disconnected back when the very concept of language began to develop as a medium of communication between humans. There was absolutely completely NOTHING that could have caused different tribes of primordial paleolithic humans to use same combinations of sounds for same things across the entire species population of the planet.

    There is no "proto-world" language. When God created Man, Adam had language. I'm sure all people, as descendants of Adam, understood each other. However, after Noah's flood, men were commanded by God to populate the Earth but instead, they stayed in one place in the Levant. Therefore God caused them to speak many languages and they could no longer understand each other and they were scattered throughout the Earth. About 70 languages came out of Babel - what you would call "proto-languages" - and those are the "language families" you see today.

    The problem is the General American English is what's taught in public schools, not AAVE. So when you speak AAVE instead of GA, it indicates that you're either uneducated or being intentionally subversive. I don't even disagree that it 'has its own rules.' Too bad, it's not the standard.

    This video is good but needs to clear up a few things. ㄷ is not a t sound. Much closer to a d sound. If you speak Hindi or know any other language that has a soft D ㄷ is a soft d. In between a t and a d. ㄱ is not a k sound much closer to a g. It’s in between a g and k. ㄹ is the hardest one for most people. Tip is to just do l and r sound at the same time when it is at the beginning of a syllable clister. If it’s at the end of a syllable it is the l sound where you touch your younger to your front teeth.

    As a Thai, I'm going to make this more confusing (5:42): Take the word นัก "nak" It has no tone marks, so it would be pronounced as "nak (normal)". However, it is actually pronounced as "nak (slightly rising tone)" And then, if we lengthen the vowel, it becomes นาก Which is pronounced as "nak (high)" Then, for some reason, if we add a "h (ห)" to the beginning, it becomes หนัก, which is pronounced "nak (low)" So, we have นัก, นาก, หนัก "nak (slightly rising), nak (high), and nak (low)" All spelled with no tone marking.

    I like to think that simple language existed among humans for a very long time, but one group of late homo erectus/ early homo sapiens got really good at spoken language and began to dominate and replace other humans who didnt have as developed of language skills. So in a way, that small little group that got good at language would be the proto language.

    ...so apparently I ran across this channel eight years ago, completely forgot about it in the meantime (and apparently also forgot this video, since I got to the end without actually having recognized that I'd watched it before), and came down to the comments section only to notice my own lengthy comments from nearly a decade ago. Heh. Thank you, UA-cam algorithm, for bringing me here again? So... care to make a video about Toki Pona? ...or Hawaiian Pidgin. That's my favorite language so far (out of the 50+ that I've studied). ...I need to go make a conlang that uses the kind of simplifications used by Hawaiian Pidgin and AAVE.

    Got yourself a subscriber! Would love to see you tackle Midwestern grammatical features... and Irish-American and Yiddish dialects of English (not sure on the correct wording for "the English dialect spoken by people who are also native to Yiddish). And hey, anything unique to the Pacific Northwest, as I can't easily pick up on the unusual features of the dialect I speak. And maybe something about how American English has shifted in the past century? I'm super interested in the lingistic features that would be completely incomprehensible to people of the 1920's, along with terminology that doesn't seem that recent (that is, not, like, computer/internet jargon) but was still coined or repurposed after the 1920's to such a degree that if you used them toward a person of the 1920's you'd be conveying either no sense or a very different sense.

    The coolest thing is that we possibly do know two words of Proto-World. Those being the words for mother and father, with them being some variation of 'mama' and 'papa', because those words are similar all throughout the world and are probably based on the universal way of babies babbling nonsense, which parents mistakenly believe to be the baby talking to them, and then reinforce it.

    I heard from some statistics that the proto world language was developed around seventy thousand years ago after the Toba super volcanic eruption, when the more intelligent humans survived through that natural disaster and so were able to create language through it. Then they left Africa again and seperated through time to a lot diffrent human tribes and so language started to seperate a lot through the following thousands of years.

    Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Pelasgians (ancestors of Albanians), who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language. Pelasgians were the Aryan race! Zeus was a Pelasgian, not a Helen. After Illyad, the language of Gods was Gheg, North Albanian Dialect. (Herodotus) The Albanian Language is a proto Indo-European language, the Babel language indeed. Science Magazine 2023 declared Albanian Language older than 8000 years old, much older than Greek and Armenian languages. Aryan means in Albanian, " I am gold".
