Damn we’re on a Native American language roll, I like it. This might be a bigger project, but I think covering the Tupian languages would be amazing, and if not the entire family, then Guaraní. Amazing video as per usual ^^
During that time, the less populated regions of South America lost a large number of indigenous populations due to diseases, inhuman labor and wars, so the encomenderos took it upon themselves to mobilize slaves from Peru to that region. Today only 10% of the population of Santiago del Estero knows how to speak it, mostly the rural population.
@@jout738 no the language actually expanded in 16th 17th and 18th century, i checked actual sources. Spaniards used the language as administrative and religious one and several native communities adopted the language during Spanish rule, including some that were never even ruled by Inca before.
It would be interesting seeing the Araucanian Languages if you could find good sources on it, especially since the Language family gradually replaced most other Native Languages East of the Southern Andes during 1550 and 1850 in the Araucanization of Patagonia. Besides, another great Video, keep it up!
I wonder how Peruvian/Bolivian people see Quechua. I used to play online games with a bunch of Peruvians (mostly from Lima) and some of them seems to have a negative view of it and see it as a peasant language.
Hello As a Peruvian I tell you that we do not see Quechua as a peasant language IT IS a peasant language that is only spoken in the mountains while the vast majority of the population lives on the coast (practically a third of the population in the capital Lima). My country is also extremely racist towards the indigenous people In our country there are three main ethnic groups (obviously there are more like Afros and Asians) The mestizos: They are descendants of indigenous people and Europeans Creoles: People who are descendants of white Europeans Indians: It is unnecessary to explain Obviously the opinion you get depends on what "race" (sorry for using the term) they are. In my case I am proud of both pasts although my family also has German ancestry.
About the linguistic homeland I relied on the article Homelands of the world's language families A quantitative approach - Søren Wichmann. There are very few sources for South American languages
@@CostasMelas why tho? Aymara languages today are largely spoken outside of the territory of former Wari, in fact largely in the territories of Tihuacan
@@ivancerdanpastor4690 They’re creations of colonialism and unfortunately still continue to exercise the oppression of Native languages and culture in favor of Spanish. Peru is majority Amerindian and yet still represses its native identity in favor of Spanish, although as far as I know it’s getting better and Quechua, and other native languages aren’t considered as “dirty” anymore. So no, they’re no longer colonies, obviously, but they exist due to colonialism and the scars the Spanish empire has left behind are still healing.

Thank you
Maybe do one on the algonquin languages
Quechua is the most widely spoken pre-Columbian language today
Yeah and majority of Peruvian population is indigenous not mestizo
@@muhammedjaseemshajeef6781 Bolivia has the highest Amerindian admixture in all of the Americas unless if you count Greenland
Guaraní is widely spoken in Paraguay. In México I've met some that still speak nahuatl
@@zakaryloreto6526 I thought it was peru
@@zakaryloreto6526 most of Latin America except Brazil Argentina Chile and Paraguay majority people have full or half indigenous blood
It is interesting to note that Quechua actually expanded during Spanish Empire, especially in southern direction.
During that time, the less populated regions of South America lost a large number of indigenous populations due to diseases, inhuman labor and wars, so the encomenderos took it upon themselves to mobilize slaves from Peru to that region. Today only 10% of the population of Santiago del Estero knows how to speak it, mostly the rural population.
Yes, Peru Ecuador and Bolivia were majority Indian (linguistically) until at least the late 1800s. In fact Bolivia was so until like the 1950s
It seems they expanded there in just in the start of 16th centaury and then the spaniards appeard to weaken all these languages little bit.
@@jout738 no the language actually expanded in 16th 17th and 18th century, i checked actual sources. Spaniards used the language as administrative and religious one and several native communities adopted the language during Spanish rule, including some that were never even ruled by Inca before.
Costas is the pioneer in Linguistic mapping and doing a good job at it too
Thank you
Doing a tremendous job! Thank you Costas!!
I understand that now Costas is making a video separately about each language family in America, and then there will be "Languages of America" .
Tupian, Arawakan, Chibchan and Cariban would all be great videos

Liked Quechuan so much they made a Quechuan II
It's sad to see all the Indian languages d1e...
Really fascinating!
Thank you

Lima was founded by the Spaniards, so that makes sense
I've Heard that people from big cities are ashamed/hate it

@@AjclzI could say yes but obviously it depends on who you ask.
It's called colonial mentality something common in former Spanish colonies
I thought proto-Quechuan urheimat was within the radius of mountains near Lima.
I mean i could be true. Research at Caral shows new possibilities suggesting a coastal origin
Great work as always!
Thank you
One of my fav Native American languages
Indigenous Gigachads
Very under appreciated language family!
Loving these indiginous-American language videos!!!
Also, very weird names Quachua 1 A and 2 B, C
Thank you. The scholars were not very imaginative
Did the language spread with the inca empire?
in the video it is shown
Yes. But it also spread under Spnish Empire
Please make a video on Ayamaran.
Are you planning to do a History of the Major Language Families, with a world map?
Very huge project but I would love to make it
Can you make a video about the history of the Ainu languages? It's a language family that I'm very curious about, it will be great if you do it.
Ahora uno del aimara
This channel is just so…awesome. No other adjective required. Just awesome.
Thank you
Amazing
Thank you
What are your sources for this? I am skeptical of this exact urheimat and Quechua II originating to the north of Quechua I
About the linguistic homeland I relied on the article Homelands of the world's language families A quantitative approach - Søren Wichmann. There are very few sources for South American languages
@@CostasMelasIt's just that you show it originating in areas that spoke Chachapoya and Culle
Pls history of Ural-Altaic languages
Doesn't exist
Unfortunately the hypothesis that uralic and altaic languages are linked has been disproven
Do you plan to do Tungusic, Korean and Japanese languages?
Your in luck he has tungusic
ua-cam.com/video/ncpQtDT-WiA/v-deo.html
Let's Go!!!!
nice
👍
bro its hard to find sources about quechuan language. thanks for giving info easily
youre making native american languages now? do tupi guarani next please (ive suggested this in like 3 of your videos already)
Thank you
Amazing! Really good!!
Thank you
Slow extinction
nice video man
Thank you
you're welcome@@CostasMelas
Is next one Mayan language?
Here after Illari got added to Overwatch and speaks Quechua
I swear im on the edge of my seat whenever i watch these, but thankfully they are still around somewhat
what language do you think the huari empire spoke?
It is unknown. It is believed that they spoke mainly Aymara languages, Chimuan but also Quechuan
@@CostasMelas why tho? Aymara languages today are largely spoken outside of the territory of former Wari, in fact largely in the territories of Tihuacan
Quechuan and Aymaran are not related?
They are separate groups. The macro-Quechua theory is not quite popular
¡Magnifico video!
Thank you
Thanks for making it
I previously recommended it in previous video
You're welcome :). Yes i remembered that
these people should govern peru and ecuador instead of the colonial spanish!
Are you telling me that Ecuador and Peru are still colonies of Spain despite the fact that 200 years have passed without governing them?
Peruvians and Ecuadorians govern modern Peru and Ecuador.

AWESOME! I love these videos so much!
Thank you
Interesting topic. You put a lot of hard work
Thank you
Well done! Tupí-Guaraní is next?
Thank you. I have not decided yet.
Amazon river HAS an estuary (outlet).
It is wholsome to see that Quechuans are more widely spread than they were before Incan Empire
Make a video on the languages of the Americas
Great video.
Thank you
This is a good
Thank you
Great

I love your channel, keep it up!💪🏻
