Super interesting to watch! They are impressive polyglots, but it's worth noting that all the languages they speak are from either Romance or Germanic families. They don't seem to be familiar with Uralic or Turkic languages, which isn't that surprising but still fascinating since those are relatively close to Western Europe and have many speakers in their countries of origin. Maybe it's just me being Indonesian so I'm more used to Asian languages, but to think that Punjabi sounds more "Arabic" than Arabic is just wild. I also think Vietnamese sounds very distinct as a tonal language, so to confuse it with Azerbaijani? That's pretty funny. Great job though! We learn something new everyday, so yeah, always so much fun! 🎉
@@kilanspeaks They don't actually speak more than 5 languages. You can't really classify German and Swiss-German as two different languages. And his Spanish level...I wouldn't say he speaks it enough to count as a full language (I do speak it fluently). To be an absolute baseline polyglot, you have to speak 4 distinct languages properly (i.e. 1 more than a trilingual). And most polyglots are way above that in comprehension, and way beyond that in recognition. If two people can't event identify that a language is not French - one of the most commonly recognized languages in the world, and confuse other common languages so badly...yeah, not impressive unfortunately.
English and French were the easiest, about India, well, there're more than 100 languages spoken there, so it's hard to guess and countries around India also speak some of these languages

I love languages, but I can only guess those that I have heard dozens of times. Remember, there are over 7000 languages in the world. Cool and hard game.
11:18 pointing Pakistan and Afghanistan and telling “Eastern Arabic Asian country”. Don’t want to be too harsh to the Duo but they are not the polyglots of my expectations.
He was likely meaning the alphabet, which would be correct, althought using specific alphabet actually have little impact on language, other than that if they use arabic script they likely have many loanwords from arabic/persian (in this case languages are closely related to persian so many words would still be similar otherwise) , but it's unlikely to affect overall sound of language to the point that it would sound like arabic.
@@patrykkrol3385 Seeing their language level, I can almost guarantee you that they don't know that Pakistan uses alphabets based on Arabic while speaking near-identically to Indians.
What? They even told that they don't know too much about eastern languages and culture. Everybody from the western hemisphere will look to the east as another planet. That's fine. They don't speak any of eastern languages. And they're polyglots, not world languages academics!!
Very funny to me when my language came up and I was suddenly able to understand every single word while they were confused lol I do get their choices, I don't think they were insanely far off, at least most of their answers were the right continent
These two nice people, polyglots as they are presented and may well be, show evidently no particular understanding of linguistics; this doesn't meen the video is bad: on the contrary, it is very captivating, like all of World Friends contents. Thank you.
I love this game, i wanna give a tip: Playing first with asian and african idioms firstly after you pass for another type of continent and idioms. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
1. Funny, but when it was Bashkir language it was "Bashkortostan" in the speach, so the place was even said... 2. Breton belongs to Celtic languages, so they got a lot of luck in their guess. Well but maybe Celtic influence to French language also affects. I think, the problem is the guys called "polyglots" know just couple of language from Germanic and Romance group, so they completely lost when it is something else.
The meaning of polyglot means that they speak more than 2 languages, and the reason is because they live in those countries that they speak the language, in general to recognize languages from all around the world is kinda hard to expect something like, if the languages were by propused to something that they could recognize such as flemish or galician or tupi would be way more cool to watch but like, they trying to guess where is basharkstan language is just odd to me
@@Fandechichounette We use a few of them but not that often honestly. The only french word I heard from the excerpt was "tiens". The rest is full breton. Yeah, they got really lucky.
Yes, Breton is from Brittany, the NW corner of France. It's also where the term "Great Britain" is derived from. William, Duke of Normandy, Normandy being the next province east of Brittany, takes the English crown in 1066. From that point on, it was disputable whether various regions of modern-day France were French or British, and why Britain and France fought so many wars in the subsequent several hundred years.
Si te digo la verdad, se parecía mucho al español de España. Solo una ligera entonación al final de las palabras me ha hecho saber que al final era de México.
From what I've heard, I think Kazakh is very difficult. Each word was pronounced very quickly, so that I did not understand at first what language it could be. But at the end some words were pronounced very strongly, which I can't explain. Hearing those words I thought maybe it would be Arabic. But it's Kazakh!! I think this language is very difficult for fast and strong pronunciation. But in Bengali, no word is pronounced in such a fast and strong way. Every word of Bengali is pronounced very calmly, softly, sweetly and with emotion. But the way we usually speak Bengali in Bangladesh is quite different from the proper Bengali. So sometimes the pronunciation may seem strange to foreigners. But proper Bengali accents are very sweet! That's why Bengali is the sweetest language in the world!! ❤ But Kazakh is also very beautiful. Fast and strong pronunciation but quite beautiful! ❤ (🇧🇩 ❤🇰🇿)
I guess they should mix poliglots from that speak very different languages... an Asian and a European, for example. If would be easier. Both of them speak European languages and the world is much more complex than this.
You need to get polyglots who speak languages that are from more than just two language families (Romance and Germanic), then they'll have a proper chance. I'm at your disposal :D
Instead of trying to guess that Estonian one, I attempted to distinguish what was being said and it was very difficult. My Finnish mind heard something like "it has nothing to do with", and that's about it. I suppose the 🇪🇪 Estonians are more exposed to Finnish than the 🇫🇮 Finns to Estonian, so they understand it better than the other way round. 🤗🙃
Pakistan and India has some many languages and Indian is not a language in india and pakistan we have many languages like i am indian Sindhi Gujarati marwadi punjabi hindi urdu only Hindi and Urdu are similar and other Indian language are little bit similar
@thiagooliveira583 My judgment is based on the previous videos. 1. You can't count languages that are your mother tongue(s). 2. You can call yourself a polyglot if you speak at least 4 additional languages, preferably with certification. Otherwise, you're just an amateur. These people really make all real polyglots look cheap.
@@Smrrebrod Your judgemnt is wrong. Based on your comment it is pretty clear you know very little yourself about languages. I'm not even going to explain why because it is so obvious, go educate yourself you dim wit.
They were so good at the europe part but for asia how could azerbaijani be arabic? I cried out loud when they chose arabic for a hindi language lol and they chose azerbaijani for something sounded literally chinese but i died when they were like eastern asian arabic, middle esatern, arabic arabic arabic etc lol not all western asian countries' languages are sth-arabic, arabic-sth😭 middle east could be including arabic, turkish, persian, hebrew, pakistani etc which they are all different from each other aint no way theyd be similar in ear even a bit😭 uzbek also sounds much more turkish than hindi or chinese And i coundnt be serious when they were like okay this sounds asian like what part of it? they were like it sounds indian and asian and if they meant chinese by asian well that neither sounded mandarin nor indian😭 Im asian yet never ever watched a single kazak movie or heard of their language but i just guessed that it is central asian after hearing it because i can tell if it is a combine of turkic and russian while i dont even speak any of those So im just saying for such videos, it would be easier if you bring an asian too no matter what part of it but i feel like they can do it with more details

4:07 Algeria? Do you know what languages they speak there? 5:00 You guys thought this was French? Wow. Breton sounds nothing like French. 6:05 Eastern Europe?! 9:30 Moldova? Clearly from the norther Finnish-baltic region (without the sharpness of the Baltics), 11:30 Who doesn't recognize Vietnamese?! You guys need to get some real polyglots on this show! I think once you get a baseline of 5-6 core languages, and comprehension across a few related languages; it's super easy to pick these up. But if you only fluently speak like 3 languages (i.e. trilingual rather than polyglot), it's a lot harder.
@@ivanovichdelfin8797 En absoluto. El bretón tiene una tonalidad mucho más celta. Cualquiera con un conocimiento básico de francés sabe que esto no es francés...
They are so bad at sensing regions of langauge lol… Also their idea of Arabic seems to be really off and wrong. That Punjabi clip was clearly Indian/Pakistani sounding. Just because someone spoke in a microphone loudly doesn’t make it “Arabic” sounding. Arabic is a very beautiful and poetic language!
Dude is saying alphabet as if he speaks language using manmade scripts. It is not like if you change law in arabic speaking countries to move to latin alphabet they will become latin languages like spanish and italian. And the girl if she doesnt have an idea she just say eastern european lmao. Like what? Slavic languages or finno-ugric or turkic or greek? They doesnt even sound similar between each other xD
