    • @missrobinhoodie
      @missrobinhoodie 5 років тому +23

      Berder King yes human thought is important. But how you communicate thoughts - by language. And every language has its own way of putting things, its way of flexing words and structure sentences, its way of thinking really! That’s why we need the individual beauty of different languages.
      An example: my mothertongue is swiss german. Sometimes I come across something I can’t find words for but I know the perfect expression in german or english. „Get your shit together“ is an amazing expression that is hardly translateable 😉

      @@batboy3746 I won't give up on my language just to be 'unified'. That doesn't make sense. Koreans speak the same language in North and South and they're the opposite of unified, same for India and Pakistan. Not to mention all countries with the same language that are divided (English, Spanish, Arabic, German, French...). As people said, there is different ways of thinking within each language, and different ways of perceiving the world. And as we don't want to demolish historic old buildings, or destroy reliques from the past, we don't want to lose more languages.

    Forty years ago, there was a great movement here in Hawai'i nei, to save our Olelo, the Hawai'ian language. There were less then five hundred native speakers spread over seven islands. A grassroots movement to start Charter Schools, Hawai'ian only spoken. Now there are thousands of young speakers, the language is ALIVE!!

    My mother’s parents spoke fluent Ponca, but only a handful of their children picked it up. Today, my oldest uncle is one of the last in my family to keep it going. His wife, who is Cheyenne/Arapaho, remembers being forced into the Concho Boarding school of Oklahoma. Where she remembers a young Cheyenne girl who was beat to death for merely speaking the language of her own people. This isn’t ancient history either.

      Kumusta, kabsat! Fluent/Native Ilokano speaker here, I grew up speaking Ilokano with my family and lived a huge part of my life going back and forth from the states and Cagayan Valley (Piat, to he precise) so the Ilokano language is a big part of my life.
      In my own personal opinion, use of Ilokano is actually growing both here in the Philippines and even internationally. It is being used more northern Luzon and in place of the more exotic and regional dialects (Kankanaey, Ifugao, Ibanag, Itawit, Malaueg, etc) so the languages really in risk of becoming extinct are the ones I just listed.
      As for internationally, the majority of the Filipino population living outside of the Philippines speak Ilokano the most rather than any other Filipino language. It is actually a really prelevant household language in four states (Hawaii, California, Washington and New York).
      So, if anything. Ilokano isn't really such a big concern in terms of extinction but it is still crucial for our youths to learn our language for its preservation as Tagalog can one day also replace Ilokano in northern Luzon. Just wanted to give my incite on the subject.....

    In Ireland, the major problem I see as a student is other students don't respect the Irish language and have no desire to preserve it. The way it is taught in schools focuses too much on poetry and story writing rather than conversation and culture. This has made many students hate learning Irish and prefer that it went extinct. It really is a shame that the education system was designed in such a way that all it does is discourage speaking Irish. Irish is a very unique language when you examine it with features like mutations, simple and consistent verb rules, and a nice proposition system. It would be a tragedy to see it go.
    In Éire, an fadhb is mó a fheicim mar dalta is ea nach bhfuil aon meas ag daltaí eile don Ghaeilinn agus níl aon dúil acu chun é a chaomhnú. Díríonn an slí ina bhfuil sé múinte sna scoileanna an iomarcha ar filíocht agus ag scríobh scéalta, in áit chómhrá agus cultúr. Dá bhrí seo, is fuath le a lán daltaí Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim agus is fearr leo go rachadh an teanga imithe in éag. Is trua é go raibh an córas oideachais deartha sa chaoi is go dhíspreagainn sé Ghaeilinn a labhairt. Ghaeilge is ea teanga saor uathúil nuair a scrúdaíonn tú é, le gnéithe mar sócháin, riallacha briathara éasca agus comhsheasmhach, agus córas réamhfhocail deas. Bheadh sé trua mór chun a fheicáil imithe.

      A good sign is more apps are offering Irish in fun ways and for people all across the globe to learn! The Irish students sound alot like American students being taught Spanish. Its more of a chore because its not made fun and we already have a language we use everyday so the need and want isn’t there. If they made it more fun like field trips to historic sites, Irish Songs and simply showing how unique and fun the language could be(especially if traveling and wanting to speak without anyone understanding you) etc. I think more will want to learn it.

    What a beautiful video. Thank you for creating this video, GBS. :) As a person who's native language is Spanish but speaks, writes, and comprehends Spanish and English, professionally and personally, I think what this person is doing is incredibly important. To have more than one language spoken, written, to comprehend... ahhhh... is a beautiful gift. There are so many nuances and paradigms that make language one of the most important and fundamental parts of our species. There are many words/phrases that we can "translate" but would lose the meaning of the word/phrase if we tried to unify. The meaning of the word/phrase is what is significant. Truly significant. All of the languages described in this video I have never heard of, so, I had a big smile on my face as I watched this video because as a person who is fascinated by language, meaning of words (and the changes of the meaning throughout our species' history) and pneumonics.. I mean.. I am just a nerd.... okay there I said... :P Thank you Great Big Story :)

      Bahasa Indonesia itself is one of the standards of the Malay language. It's spoken everywhere.
      It is even more ridiculous to suggest that a language--or rather, its speakers--do not have accents. Everybody has an accent.

      Hebrew was previously a "dead language". It was classified this way because there were no speakers who used it as a primary language for some time, even though it continued to be used in religious practice. However, it has since revived, in part thanks to the documentation of the language that previous generations worked to make. In the video, Hebrew is used as one example of how documented, dead languages can come back to life to live on again if there is a dedicated community willing to learn them.

    This is why I chuckle everytime some fool on social media (or traditional media) rants about English being "taken over." At a loss of about one language every few weeks, English is one of the "predator" languages that are taking over the world. By the end of this century there very well could be less than a hundred languages spoken on the planet. (And I leave it up to each individual to determine whether that's a good thing or bad.)
