I’m Wyandotte as we’re called in America, and my tribe has a transcribed book of the version that was spoken down here. It is both beautiful and heartbreaking to hear this language: beautiful because it is the tongue of my ancestors, and heartbreaking because the lack of present day speakers is a constant reminder to me of the vital facets of the culture that were ripped from my family and I many years ago due to the genocide and theft of my people and their lands. Thank you.
Kweh! Kwatate ye aha!
My father was Wyandot. He very rarely ever spoke, and I never learned. I’m in my 60’s now, and I’m trying to find all I can. I was told it’s a “dead language”?
Are you in Kansas by chance? I’m in Kentucky, but there’s Wyandot out there.
@@williamsporing1500 I am in Illinois but my great grandma is from Wyandotte in Oklahoma
I live in the traditional huron areas in Canada
Come back to Ontario we welcome you
@@williamsporing1500 please help transcribe this!!
Super! Je crois que peu de Wendats du Québec peuvent parler wendat avec ce niveau d'aisance. Cet homme doit être lié aux Wyandots d'Oklahoma.
Yes he is. Yes there are Wendats in Wendake that speak the language.
He is he was my wyandotte language teacher
Neat.
My aunt did a very detailed genealogy of our family tree and one our great-great-great...grandmothers was Huron/Wyandot from Quebec. Some relatives registered themselves with Metis Nations in Quebec, and I'm interested in doing it, too. It's a important thing I wouldn't want to see lost. Learning Korean as of now, but hearing this language, I kind want to learn this one, too. :)
(My son's father is Colombian with Chibcha and Spanish ancestry. My mother is South African with black ancestry, but unfortunately we don't know anything about them....I kinda don't want that to happen again. So I want to learn the culture and bring some of the traditions back into the family, so it won't be forgotten)
People claiming to be metis in Quebec are not metis. I am a band member of Wendake Quebec.
Beautiful language! Thanks for sharing and preserving it. God bless
My father was Wyandot. I’m sad I never learned, so I’m trying to find as much as I can!!
Une!
Amazing!
Wonderful language - I just love it.
Hello
some kids in preschool in Sweden are wondering what you are saying, and it will be interesting to hear what this body language with the hand is meaning.
The kids also Wonder if Richard knows more languages.
Regards teacher near Gothenburg
You can turn on subtitles, and you'll know.
Reminds me of Seneca.
What a beautiful language.
Tiawenhk!!
sounds like Mohawk.
That’s because they both belong in the same language family. The Iroquoian Languages. Thus, Wyandot and Mohawk are related.
Sounds closer to Seneca.
Nasal vowels - Hmm, it sounds like a really interesting language! Is it really extinct, as Wikipedia says it is? It would be a great shame if it actually is extinct. If I ever go to Oklahoma, I'll be sure to learn some of this language! I just love the nasalized å-sound. :D
It's not quite extinct - there are only 9 speakers left.
I’m half Wyandot. I was told it was a dead language. My father barely spoke it. I’m trying to find out as much as I can. There are Wyandot in Kansas that are speakers, but I don’t know how fluent they are.
It is no longer extinct. There is a revival of the language.
Probably because of french influences, they have this pronunciation.
Is there a good textbook or audio tape/disk for learning this language?
The Real Language! Greetings from europe!
This is awesomee I’m a 3rd generation descendant of the wendat and Huron myself my name is Robert Thibeault my Wendat name given is Blue Bear which I think translated I only know bear which is Ainui how do you pronounce the color blue in wendat??
Bear in Wendat is yänionyen
:пять
How do I learn I want to honor my my heritage
РОМОЛОС
Why is the n superscripted?
probably just how whoever first transcribed the language decided to write it
Malmaphazar I suspect it's used to represent nasalised vowels, which can be heard in this video.
It’s more of a nasal
Sounds cool! Is he Iroquoian?
I would guess, though heavily mixed with white
like 90% of today's Natives
André Paroni some of them are heavily mixed with blacks too. the other natives just ignore them.
Gedais Bathlette Really? That doesn't sound cool at all. Still, glad this beautiful language could survive the test of time!
Slashplite Oh didn't know that! Same situation with brazilian native americans. Thank you for your answer~
I can hear the French influence
