In the end, the amount of "data" output for most languages is pretty even. The speed with which you speak is generally just a reflection of how precise your native language requires you to be in order to present a particular idea. There are benefits and drawbacks to being on either extreme of precision, and ultimately neither is superior to the other in terms of conveying a concept. Spectrums and all that.
In Greek, if you write a single syllable like Zo or Zoon, the translation will be an entire sentence.... "I am living" or "They are living". So, it really depends on the case. Certain languages can be extremely fast because few letters contain so much meaning which cannot be translated in other languages in a similar short way.... How would you translate that verb/sentence in your language?
While my brain couldn't keep up with the speed in terms of comprehending the meaning at your fast Italian at the end there, I was however able to detect the sounds still instead of it becoming a stream so I'm proud of myself still 😂 Gotta keep up my listening practice so I can comprehend at a quicker rate haha
Being from the Philippines, someone in the video mentioned Tagalog (it's my third language). However, I never thought it as a fast language. At least, not even half as fast as Italian
IMO 'syllables per [unit of time]' might not be the most relevant way of measuring the 'speed' of a language, since languages differ in how long or complex syllables they allow. And sometimes it might not even be obvious what count as a syllable. Something like 'information per [unit of time] seems like a more relevant measurement. As for 'Morse code' versus 'machine gun' languages, the more established linguistic terms would be to speak about 'mora-timed' and 'stress-timed' languages, with English belonging to a third category of 'stress-timed' languages.
It depends on the gergu, jerga of each speaker also and there are very fast speakers and slow Spanish speakers. I don’t consider native speakers of the Dominican Republic to be exceptionally fast. What is irritating is one a speaker speaks fast in their native tongue and translating it without breathing. Since I’m old school I have no clue how the young ones talk in any language because of the slang irregardless of the speed. I usually ask when translating to say a couple of phrases if it has to be verbatim and breathe. Then continue, hopefully able to come up to breathe, so far I haven’t heard that translating is a cause of death. Wait ….mistranslation yes! I watch Italian shows also and I would say Spanish and Italian are on par, na cravatta, un empate. Lol. I followed your reading. If we read fast and understand it happens in any language. 😊

"Like Ferrari, Lamborghini, we're just born to be fast"
...Said no one ever at the italian post office.
I'm not sure if it's true but iirc the answer is Japanese followed by Spanish, if we're talking in terms of syllables per minute
subtitles in movies are a good indicator for the speed of a language
The Serbian girl in the middle, Draga, is actually a true polyglot and very intelligent. She’s fooled native speakers on that channel before.
The fast Italian at the end was a magnificent thing for my ears to behold
8 billion speakers of Mandarin? So practically everyone on Earth speaks Mandarin?
I better get started.

Which spoken language is the fastest for transmitting information?
It depends on the case.
Womanese is the fastest language.
Bea on the left is so pretty. She seems sweet too
Spanish and Japanese are usually considered fastest.

11:32 I always thought Japanese is the fastest language, but this is hilariously fast. 9-10 syllables per second maximum 😂😂😂😂
Why do you think the writing system (e.g. Chinese characters) has any effect on the information density of a spoken syllable?
you were approximately speaking around 9.7 syllables per second
of course you were going to pick imperio romano
At the end- Jesus Christ have mercy
According to Olly Richards Japanese is the fastest.
