How Does Language Move? Crash Course Geography #30
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2021
- While we can’t explore every cultural trait in the world, language is an important system of spoken, signed, or written symbols humans use to express themselves. It’s a major marker of identity that often unites members of the same nation, or people with similar cultural identity.
And it’s a cultural trait that has enormous power because language helps other cultural traits move through the spoken, visual, tactile, and musical word. So today, we’re going to explore how words move, because the activities that prompt that movement can tell us a lot about how ideas as well move around the world.

Beautiful and informative video as always! However, if somebody orders a tea in Kolkata, they'll most probably say,
"দাদা, একটা চা আর এক ঠোঙা কলার চিপস দেবেন তো"
"Dada, ekta chaa aar ek thon(g)a kolar chips deben to"
"Brother, can I have one tea and a packet of banana chips"
The most common language spoken in Kolkata is Bengali, the same language as Bangladesh, not Hindi, which is prevalent in northern states of India. India is a vast country with many languages, and many of the states are divided on the basis of language.
Crashcourse cares about getting the details right, that's why I'm mentioning this, otherwise may not have bothered.
Thanks so much and you're absolutely correct! We tried to be very intentional about WHO was speaking in our example (our consultant Zohra) since she speaks Hindi. That said, we definitely should've mentioned that that's not the most common language spoken in Kolkata.
In Vietnam which is south of China, tea is “tra” which is pronounced like the “dra” in “dragon”.
Also, really cool of you to use the “apple” sign in ASL.
I'm not deaf, I don't know ASL, I do speak English, German, Spanish, French and a much reduced ability to understand Dutch, Italian and Portuguese; but when Alizé signed apple I had to rewind & replay and got chills. I love the inclusion displayed by CrashCourse, they're doing education and edutainment right, they understood the assignment, entirely.
My wife is hokkien chinese and she told me many years ago her language calls cha Tea

Finally the intersection of my two favorite topics!
Oh! So it's a completely natural thing for a kid to freely combine words in several languages - neat! I thought my nephew was just a genius haha. Stil, it was very charming when he discovered his grandmother spoke German and begged to learn a few sentences. And then would randomly insert some of the German words he'd learned into a sentence. Now that isn't all that difficult a feat given how many German and English words are cognates for each other, but it was definitely strange to the ear.
Fascinating video!
This was a great episode! I hope when this course is finished to see a Language Geography course from you!
why is cultural appropriation mainly used to describe western/European cultures 'stealing' from other cultures? if the banjo would be considered appropriation of western African bantu cultures by white American cultures, would tempura be considered appropriation of Portuguese culture by Japanese cultures? in both cases, the ones who took the cultures don't know of their origin so effectively erased it. wouldn't it be better if these simply be considered cultural diffusion or adoption from one culture to another?
Indonesian, one of the languages spoken where I'm from is a mixture of Malay and other regional languages, with some elements originating from east Asia, south Asia, the middle east, and even Europe. would that mean my culture has appropriated from these other cultures?
Love this series!
Great video! I am interested in knowing why Namaste written in the thumbnail is a bit different from how we usually write it? We join the स and ते in नमस्ते. What you have in the thumbnail may be a variation, but I have never seen it used commonly.
Is "dormant" the new term for what used to be called "extinct" or are those two separate categories of disuse?
Really stunning! Jaja in Bantun. I’ll never forget!
Amazing! 🤩 in the Philippines, tea is “tsaa” (cha-a) translated into Tagalog.
This series is amazing. World is such an interesting place. Thank you so much ❤️
I love this series!! Thanks❤❤
Dwi'n mwynhau'r gyfres 'ma hyd at hyn. Diddorol iawn.
I'm really enjoying this series so far. Very interesting😙
i was just wondering the other day why there's basically only two words for tea in all the languages! crash course, always on the ball
In Russia, and some Arabic countries calling tea as *chai" other called it "shai" , I agree how we change a little bit of word while travelling
I love It! I'm Brazilian and I say "Chá" too in portuguese. Thanks for this video! ^^
Yessssss. Adding to my watch later
Lol I was waiting for you guys!
I Love Your Videos
Well said .
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!
I just put cinnamon in my green smoothie by accident. Wish me luck...
10:08 When languages move they can change, such as going from the sky to its reflection on the lake! :P
It's great..from Sri Lanka🇱🇰❤
India in itself has so many languages lol if I move from state to state chances are I wont be understanding 70% of what they are saying 😂😂
I hate religion and love studying it. I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks from India.
Cool title
I had no idea Banjo came from West Africa
quá hay cho tôi
Çay is in Turkish as well
Fitst to comment from Nigeria ✌🏾😃
Yessssssssssss
1:00 70% how Dutch 'thee', the word for tea, is pronounced. Actually, probably some Dutch speaker(s) with an accent pronounces it like that.
I say 70%, since the vowel is pronounced much longer in Dutch. That's the only, but _important_ difference, since long or short vowel often means something entirely different: boom (long vowel) = tree, bom (short vowel) = bomb for example. A joke then to make it lighter: indeed, a bomb does go boom, but that's the opposite of how you should remember it... :)
Hi how's it going
I know of a language that uses neither cha nor tea
There’s 8 languages in Myanmar 🇲🇲
we are from nowhere, but from all over a little
Did you know that Kangaroo's original meaning in Guungu Yimithirr is (I don't understand).
When the first modern humans visited the continent Australia, they asked a local what animal is that? and the locals responded by saying gangurru which means I don't Understand and the visitors thought that it was the name of the animal.
So today we call it Kangaroo, I wonder what was the actual name?
I wonder how Portuguese came to use cha while Spanish uses te.
Hey guys! Could you please do a video on colonialism? And please make it thorough if possible! Thanks! 😊
Why is English (L! + L2) the largest language in the world ?
Because 'British Empire' was the largest area-wise. It's all about power, right or wrong that's immaterial.
