flemish is really just a dutch accent, there are really not that many differences linguistically. only thing i can really think of is that they are heavily influenced by french whilst dutch is influenced by english. the dutch would call a grilled cheese sandwich a "tosti" after the english word "toast" where a flemish speaker would call it a "croque-monsieur" which is the same in french
Ahhh I understand thank you! That was an excellent explanation
True, but surprisingly, Dutch people have a harder time speaking English
@@potatooo6139 the dutch are number 1 in the highest proficiency in english of any non english speaking country, belgium is 9th...
@@MultiGerel (not talking about proficiency but about accent) and I'm not saying Belgians are better at all cus they're not
@@potatooo6139 yeah the accents of the older generation are terrible. But lets not forget belgium is half french and i bet those guys pull of a great english accent too hahaha
I get extremely excited about languages and cultures!! I feel you
I'm glad I'm not the only one then!
6:11 flemish just sounds a lot more polite and soft than dutch.
Carlos, bro, for God’s sake, pls don’t ask someone to say what you asked for the brazilian girl, don’t ask someone to say Hitler and assume they are german because of the way they said it and, above all, in Egypt they don’t speak Egyptian 😩😂
Maybe he did it all for the content 😂
Hitler thing I agree, I think the Brazilian thing was fine ig.
exactly, that was so stupid hah and of course not, they speak in hieroglyphics ;P
Egyptians speak arabic.
Wow, I was impressed when you said "dziewczynka" is a Polish word. You're 100% right. It didn't sound like Polish but really close. Actually "dziewczynka" (little girl) is diminutive of "dziewczyna" (girl). However, a lot of words in Ukrainian, Czech, Slovakian sound to a Polish like a diminutive form but they are not. That's why these languages sound quite funny for Polish people. Especially Czech sounds so cute. You're really good! Greetings from Poland🇵🇱
You should play the game "Guess the language"
I'll try it out!
It's too easy for me because I'm from Indonesia and most "tricky" languages in that quiz are Austronesian languages. So I can guess all of that.
I'm a native Dutch speaker from the Netherlands. Flemish is what the ''Dutch speakers''' of Belgium speak. Still, Flemish is not a language of its own. Their accent is just different and they have some words that are different. It's kind of like US English versus UK English. Afrikaans however, is a language of its own.
Would Neopolitan vs. Italian be a poor analogy?
@@MichaelMcAlexander to be honest, I dont really have an idea about the differences between the two. As far as I know, those two have far more differences than Flemish and Dutch.
Dutchies hearing Flemish for the first time as a kid often find it funny. To me it sounds far softer and more gentle, if that makes sense. One difference you notice immediately is that the Flemish use "U" (which is the formal form of "you" in dutch) for nearly everyone. Apart from that, you might occasionally run into a word that you don't know (example: suitcase in NL Dutch is koffer, but in Flemish valies).
Thank you sm for the explanation! The girl in the video said it was a language but I always thought that it was just a different accent so that's why I was confused
@@ColeLangs glad to have cleared that up. Though Im not sure about the girl herself, there might be tons of proud Flemish people claiming or wanting it to be a separate language, depending on their pride of it. But technically speaking it is still the Dutch language, in Belgian schools they also refer to the subject as "Dutch language" and most of the Belgians will also acknowledge it to be Dutch I think, haha
Though I love the way it sounds and the different words and expressions they uss, it stays Dutch :)
@@MichaelMcAlexander If Dutch and Flemish can be compared to US English and UK English, I think that the differences between Italian and Neapolitan are bigger.
The difference between Dutch and Flemish is so small but any native speaker can tell them it's just weird

Oh, I absolutely share your passion and excitement for languages. It's not just the language, it's the culture that you embed by learning the language, since so much of it is determined by the past and modern history of the country/-ies. Growing up pretty much with no experience abroad and having only learned English, I now have an urge to make up for it (have been learning German for a while and started Italian 6 months ago). Cheers from Russia!
Each language was made by one dude as a way to control a group of ppl, by modifying a previous language or multiple previous languages, except for the first language Proto European which is the first actual language with grammar and thousands of words that a dude created from scratch a long time ago and that came with the first writing system, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, and languages are inspired by nature, especially the pretty languages, including the Germanic languages and the 6 modern Celtic languages etc! Technically, there is no such thing as culture, or there is, but it’s not what most ppl think it is, culture has nada to do with the groups of ppl made to speak the languages, and is in fact the nature, which has differences! Norse and Icelandic and Dutch and English and Norwegian and Danish and Faroese are the prettiest and most refined and most poetic languages ever created with the most pretty words - the warrior / raider dude that created Norse had real artistic talent and a mind on the logical side, so he made such a pretty and perfect language that inspired Modern English and all the modern Nordic languages and Dutch etc, and these languages are real works of art, just like Norse, and the dude that created Proto Germanic by modifying Latin and by creating lots of new words also had a lot of talent as all Germanic languages are gorgeous, and even the dude that created Latin had artistic talent as Latin is a pretty language as well, and it’s the ancient language that influenced European languages the most, including the Germanic languages (which come directly from Latin) and the modern Celtic languages which are based on Latin and Germanic languages and words modified from previous Celtic languages, and the creators of Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic also had a lot of talent, as these languages are so gorgeous and give off strong Norse / Dutch / Germanic vibes, in fact, Welsh sounds like a mix of Dutch and Norse and English!
The Ukrainian woman had an interesting accent. As a native Ukrainian, I haven't really heard an accent like that before, but if I had to guess (and also logically make sense of it) I'd say she's from an American diaspora of Ukrainians. I assume that this video was filmed in the US, so it would also make sense.
I just started learning Ukrainian a few months ago and while I didn't expect to understand her at my level I still expected to be able to pick out a few words. This was not the case however and I was wondering if her accent had anything to do with it.
It's definitely pretty country, village-y. But not something rare or unusual. I know people who speak like that. Hell, I speak like that sometimes.
@@tearsintheraincantfeelthep475 well that makes sense, I live in Kyiv and haven't really been in an non urbanized place so I haven't really heard that accent before.
Hey man just discovered your channel today. Honestly watching the videos completely restored my desire to keep learning Languages. I also just came out of a breakup and am in a seriously depressed place, so finding a channel like yours to enjoy has been very valuable to distract myself. Keep up the enthusiasm, learning and inspiring others.
Thank you man. So sorry to hear about your breakup. It does get easier as time goes on stay strong bro!
You should react to the other 2 episodes of this too they're really fun
I probably will!
Very cool how you manage to show the depth and meaning of langauge beyond just a tool to say what we're thinking. Kudos from fellow polyglot!
You're the best bro keep up with the good work! :D
Thanks man!
12:20 we have kinda every ethnicity in germany so you can basically never guess by the look of someone
I got portuguese, Swahili, Amharic and Tagalog. The girl who spoke Kurdish I thought it was Farsi bcz of the numbers and I could tell the language family of others but not the specific language.
Nice job! Especially since those languages are from a variety of different families. Kurdish really stumped me but now I'll know it for next time
I knew it was Kurdish when she said mother and father which in Kurdish is Dayê, and Bav. Though your right it did sound like Farsi. I know a little bit of Tajik which is close to Farsi because there both Persian languages. Kurdish is also an indo-Iranian language I think and Farsi is spoken in Iranian.
@@mahalialabershinsky7229 thanks for clarifying!. I wanna learn Persian someday, both farsi and tadjik varieties.
i asked a guy who is living in belgium and he said that flamish is basicaly dutch but with french (in simple)
Shout out to Amharic !!❤
💚 💛 ❤
His pronunciations were not that good though. The way he said አመሰግናለሁ was so annoying.
I see...the main thing here is that at list 10k ppl know what amharic sounds like...you from Ethiopia tho ?
@@kaleab1masresha786 well obviously. How else could I have noticed that otherwise?
It's sad that we Ethiopians expect the minimum and still get excited when we're given less than that. In the video all the other participants got to speak a lot in their native languages respectively. Where as the ሐበሻ dude managed to say only a few words that didn't even sound like how a native speaker would say it. Bad representation is still bad representation at the end of the day. We shouldn't applaud him for using butchered አማርኛ።
@@Betty-jp7sw one day we will be great again, it takes time tho...so we need to be patient and humble and work hard, btw I like your way of perspective!! Can you hit me up with your socials ?
you can just hear by her accent that she is flemish
and flemish people who use dialect a lot tend to say "u" (formal you) or "gij", "ge "(= you) a lot more than je, jij. It all just depends on their dialect
yeah and they throw in a lot of french words
With the Kurdish girl I also thought Urdu, but the clue was in the similarity to Farsi in the 1-10 counting. It didn't sound like it had much of a Hindi influence, yet had some Turkish/Northern Caucus. Doesn't help that these speakers don't have super native accents.
That dude pulling out Hoch Deutsch ("High German") to see if he was in the right language family is pretty sweet. German regional dialects are a trip, and personally, I love Bavarian. I lived there for like six years and it's so interesting to listen to.
it's one of my native languages and sadly not as many as you'd think, still know it enough... the googled number seems big but it doesn't seem to reflect how many there is online, I think, like mostly middle aged and elderly and more at this point...
14:46 - Here in Portugal, a day doesn't go by without some TV reporter completely murdering the language.
1:15 im native german, but we get taught english in primary school already, also we have many turks in germany so they learn 3 languages ''by default''
the difference between flemish and dutch is mostly the accent/ different pronounciation of certain words. There are some different words, but its mostly the same
Negão or Neguinho in Brazil do not have a negative connotation generally. It's mostly used as a term of endearment. However, it can used pejoratively, but it's the exception, not the rule.
Yessssss I was waiting for this vid, thanks 😊
No problem!!
So what if a language dies? Is a language anything more than a way to communicate? Aren't there literally thousands of options to replace the "dead" language which do the job of allowing the person to communicate just as well?
I think the lady talking about the “brown guy” really ment he wasn’t super dark or super light. I think she associates really dark people with French and not “brown” people. But yeah, if not that was really silly. Haha
we went to the netherlands as germans for culture you know 😉
most dutch people could perfectly understand us speaking german and also spoke german, when we could barely understand what they were saying, many words are similar or the same, yet they understood us better
culture or "culture ;)"? heh but yes genau heh
The minecraft enchantments joke made me laugh so baaad 🤣🤣🤣
hi I'm actually Kurdish and that's exactly like how she said not many people really know about Kurdistan or our language Kurdish so I was sure none of them would guess it but I really wish you would try learning cause I myself am a polyglot and I'm sure you would like it I myself love learning languages that not many peoples speak it in my country and I have much respect and love to you .
I watched that vid long - long time ago, I believe before I know ColeLangs
As a speaker of French and Dutch, it’s hilarious hearing a Belgique speaking french or Flemish
Yes! Please do something with minority languages! Irish is always an option in that category. 😉 If you're interested in Irish, let me know and I can send you a list of good resources. 💚 Fun video!
1:46 I'm constructing a language using Iranian roots :_)
Oohhh how's that going?
8:48 Her word for five sounded like "pench", which is similar enough to Greek "penta" (and Sanskrit "pañca") to assume it's an Indo-European language.
hii kl video I have one question how do you do this videos, I mean how can you record you and watch the video at the same time??
I really would like to learn and do it myself.
Cheers :)
Hi! So what I do is i record my screen using OBS and myself using my own camera/webcam and then I sync the two of them together in my editing software. It looks complicated but it's actually pretty simple!
@@ColeLangs muchas gracias tio , hablas genial el español y tienes un buen acento en francés, voy a ver tus videos y a seguirte!!!
Tienes mas redes sociales para seguirte?? P
ues quiero conocer gente que le apasionen los idiomas como a mi.
Saludos desde Andalucia.
Don't worry, I know Mandarin and Cantonese and my guess for Shanghainese was Burmese and I was confident about it🤣
Mds a menina já começou com um belo pqp kkk
Eu só acertei o Português kkkkkkkk
Não se preocupe mano foi mto difícil está vez kakaka
Shanghainese is a dialect from wu language, not the mandarin language by the way.
Flemish is def a dialect but Shanghainese is a completely distinct language. Most of the "dialects" of Chinese are only called that for political sake.
Nice video bro 👍
Thanks!
Did you know if not for ww1&2 will have a large German speaking in America even you have a dialect of German called Texas German
Try to learn KURDISH its very attractive and in the same time complicated language :D
Nice
neige: brazilian/portuguese filler word that sounds like nigga/the n word
neige: french for snow
interesting irony there hah
I'm kurdish people fan for you keep going
Dutch and flemish is basically the same difference as British English and American English. So the same language, with some vocab and accent differences, although there are a lot of accents in the Netherlands and Belgium. So the accent thing is very much generalized
Did Netherlands colonize Belgium? And why do they speak Flemish and French?
@@dominiccenteno1233 that’s a hard question actually. I wouldn’t call it colonised or occupied. It was part of the Netherlands in the 16th century, but not all of Belgium and also not all of present dat netherlands was part of this. The Spanish came in around that time and occupied the southern Netherlands and what is now Belgium. Later the french occupied both the Netherlands and Belgium (so that’s why there’s both + higher class people spoke french in Belgium and the Netherlands). In the early 19th century, Belgium became independent. So it wasn’t really colonising, I guess
For your information Flemish is mutually understandable to Dutch but Afrikaans definitely isn't)
Thank you!
@@ColeLangs You're welcome! I enjoy your video's, ze zijn erg interessant. Спасибо за твоя время)
Thing is a Dutch person can understand a flemish person and a flemish person a Dutch person but it's because of the dialect that they use some different words than us (the Dutch)
YESSSSSS do minority languages together

How nice was creating this video without all the Omegle d*cks floating around the content? Haha good stuff, was fun to watch!
HAHAHAAHA it was incredible glad you liked it!
I guessed turkish for the kurdish girl, that would have been very awkward in person lmao
Im flemish and the difference between flemish and dutch is that dutch sounds harder and has a hard G and flemish is softer
So all the numbers in kurdish are the same as farsi but not any other words?
I was shoock maannn i heard her counting to 10 and i'm persian so i was like, is this a poor immitation of farsi or wth💀💀
-DUTCH: In the intro, I thought it was Swedish, but then on other words, I agreed on it being Dutch (or Flemish for that matter)
-PORTUGUESE: Did not have much time to guess, you shouted out "SAO PAULO" before I could think.
-AMHARIC: Semitic not Arabic or Hebrew, the dude is African and hence my guess.
-KURDISH: During the count, I thought Persian, after "thank you" I was pretty sure it was Kurdish. I knew the word; being from Turkey, a country with Kurdish speakers.
-UKRAINIAN: Again, no time to guess. The Polish word for "girl" being similar is a given, the 2 languages have a lot of common words.
-KINYARWANDA: The thing is the guy kinda had a French accent, not too much of a surprise, since they use that on a daily basis too, at least on an official level. That does affect the way one speaks. But I thought he was speaking French all the way through.
-SHANGHAINESE: I kinda guessed it, actually it's a part of the Wu dialect (or language, depending on your point of view) which has the third biggest speaker population after Mandarin. More than Cantonese, but since many immigrants from China have Cantonese origin, it's the other Chinese dialect/Sinitic language people are more familiar. The readings of the characters come from a common ancestor, so even if they are different, some words might be similar between them. This applies to the Sino-Japanese, Sino-Korean & Sino-Vietnamese readings of the characters as well.
-FILIPINO: "Kumusta" for hello, said by an Asian person....no other than Philippines, must be Filipino.
to me as a German, Flemish sounds like a French version of Dutch. I don't speak either one though
My biggest dream is to protect minority languages and work for develop them but actualy i am busy of thing about earning money for living, all the time. Unfortunately!
Can u tutor me…
08:30 - you didnt know right away that it is an IndoEuropean language? Thats quite obvious, though i thought it was persian/pashto
You should learn Persian (Farsi)
Cole, the first word the last lady uttered is not Tagalog, it is another language/dialect in the Philippines which is ILOCANO. She said "UKININAM" which literally means "your mother's private part."
14:42 do Yiddish
3:00 内個😂😂

Yep "dziewczynka" is also polish word
She said ‘Diwczynka’ what means slighter form from girl in Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Дівчина -> Дівчинка

Nah, he speaks
Spanish
French
Russian
Portuguese
German
Dutch (kinda)
All at different levels
I guess he thought she looked Russian since many Russians do look European/ Oriental
True, but I feel like there's a general "slavic look" that differs from many European/Oriental people. I may just be crazy though
Lol I'm from Ukraine 😂
well let me just say that you have a beautiful language :)
Spamming for the algorithm
please try and learn thai
You gotta shave one mo' time
thanks for the reminder my guy HAHAHAHA
The whole government thing with Mandarin is really dumb. People can obviously learn multiple languages when young and Mandarin does not even sounds as good as original Chinese languages....especially not Cantonese.
Cantonese is beautiful, I love how adorable it sounds
@@LegoCityFilms Yes
Russian Woman are beautiful
Bro, just stop making this weird face for the thumbnail it really looks weird
Thanks for the feedback! What do you think I should put there instead?
