    🇬🇧 Guys, I apologise for using the map that shows the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia. At the time of making the video, I just took a random pic from google and was like ok it works. Sorry! Glory to Ukraine!
    ------------------
    🇺🇦 Друзі, я перепрошую за використання мапи, де окуповані українські території показані як російські. Коли я робив це відео, я просто взяв випадкове зображення з ґуґлу і вирішив, що воно цілком норм. Вибачте! Слава Україні!

    Okay, I'm a native Spanish speaker. I got tipsy and decided to do this. After Japanese, I got dissociated thinking about other things, then I remembered to pay attention when the second person was about to finish speaking. And from the half a second I actually heard, I thought RUSSIAN. I saw the answer and I was flabbergasted. I always heard people say that Portuguese sounds like a Russian trying to speak Spanish but never understood, to me Portuguese was just Portuguese. I can't say I don't get it now hahahaha second time I heard it I understood everything but I had an epiphany hahahaha

      The language spoken in anime is actually very unnatural. It's overly styled to make characters stand out and overly emotions. Nobody speaks like this in real life :) It makes Japaness chuckle whenever they hear a foreigner speaking Japanese that they had learnt through anime. The actual Japanese is very monotone.

    1. Japanese (Correct). I know a little Japanese and it's very easy for me to understand.
    2. Russian (Wrong, Portuguese). It looked a lot like Russian to me and that's why I made mistake.
    3. Russian (Correct). I just guessed right.
    4. A European language (half right 😄, Hungarian). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was.
    5. Thai (Wrong, Vietnamese). The tone of speaking of Southeast Asian countries is very similar.
    5. A European language (half right, Czech). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was.
    6. Nothing (Wrong, Icelandic). I couldn't recognize it at all.
    7. Kurdish (Correct). I'm from Iran and many of my compatriots are Kurds. That's why I recognized it easily.
    8. Hebrew (Wrong, Yiddish). I know that these two languages aren't directly related to each other, but they seem to be a little similar.
    9. Hindi or Urdu (Wrong, Punjabi). They are very similar.
    10. Turkey's Turkish (Half right, Tuvan). It's a language of the Turkic language family, but it's not a well-known language. Just from it tone and words, I thought it was Turkey's Turkish.
    11. A Native American language (Half right). I had previously seen some videos about Native American languages, so I understood that this language belongs there, but I didn't know which language it is.

    okay, so here's my attempt (SPOILER WARNING):
    1. japanese (CORRECT) - it's just sooo recognizable, there was no way it was something else
    2. polish (WRONG - portuguese) - idk the way the reporter said certain constonants sorta reminded me of that
    3. russian (CORRECT) - also pretty recognizable
    4. hungarian (CORRECT) - guessed it INSTANTLY cuz I'm a native lol
    5. thai (WRONG - vietnamese) - basically it was a 50/50 between thai and vietnamese, should've went with my gut feeling
    6. czech (CORRECT) - we were definitely in the central european area, and it didn't sounded like polish, so it was either czech or slovakian, but mid-sentence I've just heard "ano" and "dobry den" and I was like "yup, czech for sure!"
    7. icelandic (CORRECT) - gotta admit the first reason I've guessed that is because I've heard "icelandic lava" lol, but in my defense, it also sounded like if you were to mix norwegian and celtic together
    8. yoruba (WRONG - kurdish) - i was way off...
    9. yiddish (CORRECT) - it absolutely sounded like old german with a jewish accent, so it had to be that
    10. urdu (WRONG - punjabi) - we were definitely on the hindustani area with this one... but there are a lot of languages in that area, and it wasn't hindi for sure cuz it would've been too obvious, well... it wasn't hindi, or urdu
    11. armenian (WRONG - tuvan) - I really heard some russian and some turkic influence in it so I was like "somewhere in the caucasus"
    12. ainu (WRONG - navajo) - That one was really hard for me, and I've really had no idea what it could've been

      @@sarahelize7883 It is spoken in the Republic of Tuva in South-Central Siberia in Russia. There are many sub-branches of Turkic languages. All the languages you listed are in different groups.
      Turkish : Oghuz

    This was fun.
    Proud of myself for correctly guessing Punjabi. Mention of Rajasthan pointed me that way, but it sounded Indian to me even before I picked that up.
    I guessed Kazakh instead of Tuvan - I had the idea it was Turkic, and Russian-influenced, so I'm quite proud of that.
    I correctly identified Russian. I got that Czech was a Slavic language. I had an idea that it wasn't Polish, so guessed Ukrainian.
    Icelandic was recognisable; consonants have a distinct accent.
    Navajo honestly sounded Celtic to me. I guessed Manx, as I didn't think it was Gaelic!

Yiddish was a lot like German but I thought it would not make sense for German to be on Expert level and I ran out of time before guessing. Essentially all languages of northern India/Pakistan sound the same to me, so I guessed Hindi-Urdu for Punjabi because it is the most spoken.
