Very interesting and well-presented video. Thanks!

As a Filipina and Tagalog speaker. My country has over 180 languages with 17 million tribes. It’s widely diverse. I can’t understand most of the other 179 languages, except a few dialects like for example, basic phrases in bicolano and many phrases. Even Filipino appearances vary in each region. I understand there might be other influences from mainland Asian countries but still. But the rest they have not only different languages but different cultures in the Philippines. Going from Manila to Cebu already felt like I went to another country.

Wow...in Kadazan we say Vahu(eight) Iso, Duvo, Tohu, apat, himo, onom, tuu, Vahu, sizam, opot

As Kadazan/Dusun girl from Sabah(North Borneo) , I can confirm some of the words are similar with both Malay and Tagalog. By the way, in Malaysia , Malay is the Malaysia national language but we have many more languages here.

Jadi is not related to Genesis. A lot of Greek and Latin words are related to African languages. Arkê is a Greek word meaning beginning and related to the African word kë`ė "begin" "first time " 'Ņ kë-ėn "séparation " "last time"

Its interesting to see a Malaysian Chinese who seems very enthusiastic about Malay/Austronesian languages

“Menga” seems similar to “mangan” which is “to eat” in Kapampangan. In Cebuano they say “kaon,” but it can change depending on the conjugation, e.g., “lets eat” becomes “mangaon ta”

In "Maligayang Kaarawan" it is actually shortened. In my own analysis. I think the MaligayaNG word, the NG was added and it supposed to stand for ANG. In KAarawAN, you notice that the KA in front of it and the AN at the end was also added and it's short for KApanganakAN which mean birth. And the araw is the Day, of course. So, the whole greeting is supposed to be "MALIGAYA aNG araw ng KApanganakAN." Or for short, MaligayaNG KAarawAN" I think that makes more sense. Hehehe🤪😝

Why only Philippines have ng/nga. and hawaii make it simple .like their lazy and shorten the words 😊

I will do research on language of ibatan( from batanes) . To check id the still preserved the old Austronesian language

"Balo" is the archaic word for "widow" in Filipino/Tagalog (today the Spanish loanword "biyuda" is used more often). It survives in other Philippine languages though. It's interesting though that the Filipinos continued to use "walo". Stress is in the first syllable for Balo while in the last syllable for walo, so that might have kept the words distinct enough.

base on videos. hawaii shorten the pronuciation of words. their language is like slang of proto austruonesian languages

wow . this imformative. I wish languages

May sakit- is sick Masakit- is painful sakit- pain

bugis/buginese (south sulawesi central of indonesia), we call water=wai , wai renung=drinking water, wai u enung = water i drink(i drink water), enu' ka' wai = drink i/me water (i drink water). wai aga ero?=water what <is that>? , aga mu enung?=what you drink. sea=tasi' lake=tappareng river=salo' fish=bale sea fish=bale tasi' lake fish=bale tappareng river fish=bale salo'

Minana in Tagalog means inherited from parents or other people. And you inherit only those thing with value like gold, house, land, etc.

Rambutan is a similar case. Where duri means spike and durian becomes spiky (fruit), rambut means hair. Hence rambutan - hairy (fruit).

Toraja language similar with japanesse sound language accent, toraja say : Agimoto = sudah cukup (enough) Susimoto = sudah seperti itu (like that) Tokinawa = baik hati (kindness) Yamoke = ayo (lets go, cmon) Baga = bodoh (stupid)

ive read about austronesian before but never delved deep into the similarities in our languages ! Recently i watched moana 2 which has motivated me to learn more bc i find the languages they spoke to be extremely beautiful and the fact it’s related to where i come from is very interesting especially also bc not much ppl even know about austronesian Stumbled upon ur channel and it’s very educating and inspiring to watch, thanks for ur research and hardwork to make videos like these!!

Fijian 'cai ' is 'f...' , they don't look Asiatic too

Sundanese "cai" must be a cognate of the Indonesian words "cair" and "encer" which both refer to something being watery - water itself being "air".. I had never realised this before. Also, in Indonesian "danau" means (fresh water) lake, which I'm guessing is related to "danum", the word for water in other Austronesian languages. This was a very interesting presentation.

"Banlaw" in cebuano also means to rinse. Tagalog uses this word exclusively for things things whereas Cebuanos use it for the body of a person.

Examples of putting the wrong stress changing the meaning: 1. magandang hapo'n po - A beautiful Japanese 2. magandang ga'bi - a beautiful yam (taro)

I realized though that maybe because of this, Tag-lish is natural. Words aren't limited to be used as a noun, a verb, or a descriptor only. This extends to to foreign words. Luha (tears) - lumuluha (crying) Pula (red) - mamumula (will turn red) Tatlo (three) - magtatatlo (will be three as in "Magtatatlo na anak mo"/You will have three kids soon) Jacuzzi - Magjajacuzzi (will go to jacuzzi) Magbabasketball, magmemerienda, magmamah-jong, magwa-wine tasting, mag-popoker face, magfofood trip, etc.

So the reason we don't understand each other anymore is because of fucking colonizer . Gotcha

We don't use mata ng hangin . We use mata ng bagyo which means eye of the storm or typhoon.

Sasak, Lombok 🇮🇩: Balu

Inum (E-noom) is to drink in tagalog

Aiyak (idk if im spelling that right but you mentioned it around 7:28) sounds a lot like iyak in tagalog which means to cry (water related?) Lol

Let me try: Bumili ang lalaki ng diyamante para sa babae. Binili ng lalaki ang diamante sa pamamagitan ng sampung-libong dolyares. Binilhan ng lalaki ng dyamante ang mall. Ibinili ng lalaki ng diyamante ang babae. Ipinambili ang sampung-libong dolyares sa mall. Thank you to ajmosqueda for the pronunciation of $10,000!

The Tagalog translation should be "May sakit ako" which literally means "I have a sickness." "Masakit" means painful (Masakit ang ulo ko - my head is painful) and "Masakit ako" is awkward. In Tagalog, "sakit," depending on which syllable is stressed, can refer to illness, pain, or compassion. I come from Batangas, one of the "hardcore" Tagalog provinces, but I've never heard anyone use "mata ng hangin" to refer to anything. I don't think our ancestors have a specific word to refer to the cardinal directions when applied to winds since even the phrase we use today, "direksyon ng hangin," is partly derived from Spanish. Maybe "amihan/amianan" and "habagat/abagatan" sufficed.

In Cebuano Bisaya Moinum ko ug tubig,or Ako moinum ug tubig

Another language in the Philippines called Cebuano (bisaya), we actually count similar to the proto-austronesian. Usa - one Duha - two Tulo - three Upat - four Lima - five Unom - six Pito - seven Walo - eight Siyam- nine Napulo - ten

The direct Filipino translation is off and conveys a different meaning. The common way to say "I am sick" in Filipino/Tagalog is "May sakit ako" or "Nilalagnat ako" which directly translates to "I have a sickness" or "I'm in a state of being sick" respectively. For a closer comparison, other Philippine languages, like Cebuano, have a direct translation. In Cebuano, it can be expressed as "Nasakit ko" or simply "Sakit ko" (it is common in Cebuano to drop prefixes especially in fast paced speech). This phrase literally translates to "I am sick".

Root word of ‘death’ or ‘dead’ Mati - malaysian Matay - filipino Mati - indonesian

I remember using the word “waig/wa-ig” in Ilocano, which means stream or brook

water aqua

Weyhhh hampa orang utara ka?

As a Japanese, I surmise that the ancient Japanese language is a hybrid of Austronesian, Han-Sino, and Altaic (not the best accurate term) languages. The word for fire is “hi” (short vowel sound, not the English greeting), which is only one syllable short of “ahi”. Thanks for this great videos and the others!

i have a theory. Air/vai might have caught on from local aeta/melanesian before austronesians arrived? it would make sense as the farther southeast you go, the more darkskinned peoples there are

In lampung way is river

Torajanese in south sulawesi say "wai"....

in Torajanese langguage sick is "masaki"" Torajanese is tribe in Indonesia Archipelego....

Phenomenonal video!

Masakit = pain in tagalog but not does not equal “sick”

Tagalog actually says “may lagnat ako” 😢 cebuano says “naakoy sakit”

wait araw is day/sun in Tagalog? In Melanau we say lau. we dropped 'a' & harden the 'r' to become l.

Lake Toba Batak Austronesian Australian here

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika...

in Javaness (the island of Java) in Indonesia: 1 = siji 2 = loro 3 = telu 4 = papat 5 = limo 6 = anam 7 = pitu 8 = wolu 9 = songo 10 = sapulu in Indonesia, we say: 1 = satu 2 = dua 3 = tiga 4 = empat 5 = lima 6 = enam 7 = tujuh 8 = delapan 9 = sembilan 10 = sepuluh any polynesian understand or get the similarity for the numbers ?
