Thank you for letting me volunteer for this. 🙏🏻 My only request is that the dialect that this video is about, which is the Maram dialect should be mentioned so that people won't mistake it for the more widely spoken Khasi standard language.
Though the language is very different I figured couple of similar word of Khasi and Cambodia/Khmer Tiger _ Khla(Khasi) _ Kla(Khmer) Hand _ Ktei _ Dai Near_Jen _Jet Leaf_Sla _ Sleug Far_j'nge_ Ch'ngai The laugauge is pretty distance , The only laugauge I could understand is Mon laugauge .
Some cognates I can spot: - u blei (god) = ông trời (god, heaven) - used to be ông blời in the past - a sngai (sun) = ngày (day) - khmat = mặt (face) or mắt 👁️ - i ktei = tay ✋ (forelimb) - me = mi, mày (you) - u khon = con (kid, offspring) - ksew = chó 🐕 - miew = mèo 🐈 - sim = chim 🐦 - khla = khái 🐅 (an old word for tiger) - a khaw = gạo (uncooked rice) - jnge = ngái (old word for far, now only found in "xa ngái") - sla = lá ☘️ - jrong (long) = rộng (wide, spacious) - kbah (big) = tổ bố (humongous) - nah / khonah = nhỏ (small) This is quite amazing, seeing how far apart these two languages are on the family tree. Also it's funny that they call the hand the "sla-ktei" (forelimb-leaf, lá tay), while in Vietnamese we call it bàn tay (forelimb-table).
ble, Middle Vietnamese is blời, and modern Vietnamese is trời. miew, Vietnamese is mèo. sim, Vietnamese is chim. khla, Vietnamese (North Central Vietnamese) is khái. Durkhmat, Vietnamese is mặt. khmat, Vietnamese is mắt. khmut, Vietnamese is mũi. sla, Vietnamese is lá mei, Vietnamese is mẹ
Feel like this language got influenced by Old Chinese a lot. Ngã is Sino-Vietnamese for I - 我 (Vietnamese never uses in daily life). Numbers are like Indian tries to speak some old form of Chinese or invent a new form of Chinese
Not necessarily Chinese but Tibeto-Burman languages I think. There's a big dominance of Tibeto-Burman languages in Northeast Indian. For example my mother tongue Bodo is a Tibeto-Burman language with around 1.5 million speakers. Of course there are many others like Garo tribe who speak their Garo language and infact live in the same state as Khasi people in Meghalaya ( India).
A fascinating language of Meghalaya state in northeast India. An Austro- Asiatic language distantly related to Khmer and Vietnamese!

> isolating
> without tones
It’s wonderful!
Same as Khmer
Finally... I've waited for this post since the first post of Khasi language in this channel had been deleted.
Though the language is very different I figured couple of similar word of Khasi and Cambodia/Khmer
Tiger _ Khla(Khasi) _ Kla(Khmer)
Hand _ Ktei _ Dai
Near_Jen _Jet
Leaf_Sla _ Sleug
Far_j'nge_ Ch'ngai
The laugauge is pretty distance , The only laugauge I could understand is Mon laugauge .
Also the words for New Year is Snem thymmai which is very very similar.
@@wrusselrani9511 omg it is identical it is Ch'nam Thmei in khmer/Cambodian
Some cognates I can spot:
- u blei (god) = ông trời (god, heaven) - used to be ông blời in the past
- a sngai (sun) = ngày (day)
- khmat = mặt (face) or mắt 👁️
- i ktei = tay ✋ (forelimb)
- me = mi, mày (you)
- u khon = con (kid, offspring)
- ksew = chó 🐕
- miew = mèo 🐈
- sim = chim 🐦
- khla = khái 🐅 (an old word for tiger)
- a khaw = gạo (uncooked rice)
- jnge = ngái (old word for far, now only found in "xa ngái")
- sla = lá ☘️
- jrong (long) = rộng (wide, spacious)
- kbah (big) = tổ bố (humongous)
- nah / khonah = nhỏ (small)
This is quite amazing, seeing how far apart these two languages are on the family tree.
Also it's funny that they call the hand the "sla-ktei" (forelimb-leaf, lá tay), while in Vietnamese we call it bàn tay (forelimb-table).
In Vietnamese i heard the words for new year is Nam moi or something like that and in khasi it's snem thymmai. And i think that is very similar.

Thanks for exepting my request on making a video on khasi language.
My favorite Austro Asiatic language along with Semai
Would be cool if this language had its own script
They also use Bengali alphabet ;)
Khasi language use Bengali script and latin script.
Great.....was waiting for this for a long time thanks....
If Thai were atonal, it probably would sound like Khasi
I recognize that this is not Vietnamese, but it would be my best guess in language recognition test.
Me: Should I ask that girl out
Friend: Yeah, worst she can say is No
Her: 0:47
Fun fact: Khasi language also use Bengali script
1:53 cat-meow😽

Many Tibeto Burman and Aryan words.
Can u spot the aryan words? I hardly even see Tibetian words here

Almost sounds like Vietnamese
This language is also used in Bangladesh 😊

I is nga？It is very Sino-Tibetan lol.
Actually it's Austro-Asiatic
Sounds somewhat Austronesian… like Acehnese
Wondering if you could do a video on Navajo! :)
What? This language is spoken in Bangladesh? 1:29
Meghalaya is close to Bangladesh border.
May I ask you, why is your video of "Slavic languages spoken! Bible verse John" private? It was best video on slavic languages comparison out there.
I hope you can do Goro language as well
Garo you mean?
You could've used the Bengali script. Cause most Khasis in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and India use it as their own
the numbers sound sinotibetan
Langbrot 🥖
Sounds a lot like modern Bangal
Please Icelandic
As A Assamese I Didn't Understand Anything Of Meghalaya Language
Bengali speaking people can relate a little bit
