@@danielmonteyro isn't it logical that to a Slavic speaker it is harder to learn (other) Slavic language than it is hard to a non Slavic speaker? Though, at start he would understand much, but instead of accepting new language, he would be rejecting much of it as small irregularities from his own language
I just listened to the music video (DakhaBrakha) shown here as an example of native Ukrainian speaking. And wow! That was amazing stuff! Almost hypnotic.
i'm currently learning ukrainian. It's a pleasure to learn it, even if, as a french, it's far away from my mothertongue.

Так, і, тим більше, там про росіянську неправильно було сказано. Взагалі, у регіоні Новгорода була своя слов'янська мова, але, в інших регіонах сучасної Росії - ні. У Московії не було "росіянського народу", натомість, були різні угро-фінські й азіатські народи (зрозуміло, що вони руською не користувалися). Проте, церква використовувала церковно-слов'янську мову. Пізніше, церковно-слов'янську, вважай, силою розповсюдили по населенню і, після того, як вона трохи змішалася з місцевими мовами, з'явилася мова, яку зараз називають російською. А в Україні була своя жива слов'янська мова, яку використовував слов'янський народ. Ось і вся різниця.

You have red and black colors in the background - change them, because someone might mistake you for a Bandera Nazi. This is a friendly channel, light-hearted, with no content praising the genocide of half a million Poles, as done by the Bandera followers who used that flag.

1:28 The transition between Ukrainian and Russian is not abrupt at all if you go from West to East. "Pure" Ukrainian is spoken in and around Lviv but if you go to the East, you hear a transitional language variant called Surzhyk which is effectively marked as Ukrainian on this map. As you reach Donetsk, you'll notice that everybody speaks Russian. (This was true before the war, of course.) Rusyn is another story, it was heavily influenced by Hungarian (and, to a lesser extent, Slovak and Romanian, too, apart from Polish) and it was therefore exempt from the Ukrainian o -> i vowel shift. Rusyn, too, may be considered as at least two languages (Subcarpathian Rusyn with four and Pannonian Rusyn which is spoken in Vojvodina, Serbian, with one). Most Rusyns are Byzantine-rite Catholic while Ukrainians are predominantly Orthodox.

Не треба розказувати про суржик, бо він приблизно однаковий і у Львові і на Луганщині і Донеччині, просто поширення суржику залежить від кількості окупантів. У Львові окупантів менше, тому менше людей говорять окупантською, а ось Київ, Донецьк і Луганськ окуповані давно і населені майже повністю окупантами. Але сільська населення і Донеччини і Луганщини, де нема окупантських еліт, говорить чудовою українською. Те саме стосується Києва, так бідне населення, старі бабусі і дідусі як говорили українською століття тому, так нею і говорять, а окупантські еліти подовжують говорити мовою свого вождям і насаджують її іншим, тому я знаю багатьох немісцевих жителів Києва з західної України родом, які перейшли на престижну окупантську мову, що є звичайним пристосуванством. Щодо перехідних мов, то їх є дві, там де українці сотнями літ мали стабільну межу з іншими слов'янами, це Полісся, де мова поступово змінюється з української на білоруську, а також Карпати, де українська переходить в русинську, а західніше сама русинська переходить в словацьку. Межі з північними окупантами у нас не було, тому немає перехідних діалектів, хіба на північному сході Чернігівщини. З поляками межа була, але вона проходила між містами Люблин, Судомир, Ряшів, Краків і знищена внаслідок асиміляції за сотні літ перебування цих земель у складі Польщі, тому польська і українська всюди має чітку межу. Щодо "чистої української", її можна почути в основному на Полтавщині, Харківщині, Черкащині та суміжних районах, це територія де розвивалася українська мова, в інших територіях українська мова зазвичай дуже змішана з місцевими діалектами, це особливо чути в Галичині, яка довго була відрізана кордоном від решти України.

Именно поэтому этот язык существовал только в сельской местности, и никогда не распространялся на большие города, где население говорило по-польски, или по-русски. Ну или вообще на идише.
Thank you so much! This video sums up history so so good. For me as ukrainian myself, it was a pleasure to see a correct representation of ukrainian history, as often on internet a lot of misinformation about anything ukrainian could be found.

Due to the conflict I stopped and questioned learning the 'other East Slavic' language since I am mostly, of Ukrainian, Polish, and Italian but I started learning that other language off and on to feel more connected to my Eastern European heritage because when I was in high school Ukrainian was not available and resources were limited. That being said, my love for the culture and the other language has not changed.
You mean Russian yes? Plenty of Ukrainians still speaking it, although that has been changing and will continue I expect. I don't believe in languages being politicised.
@@MDobri-sy1ce it's a shame isn't it? your post read like you were afraid to mention that word... And yes, language is often politicised and linguistic theories set aside to accommodate current thoughts.
Same. I won't engage with anyone who supports the war, which is most of the Russian population unfortunately. So opportunities to use Russian are highly limited.
Being away from my home country (Iran) for a few years and not having the contact with Persian congregation as much as I use to have , learning new languages and seeing foreigners speak my language, utterly delights me. It's just like hearing a cute baby tries speak, although still not perfect, but it's one of the best joys things in the world you can ever listen to. I don't know other languages native speakers feel the same , but I saw you in a few videos of yours that you're speaking farsi and I have to say... آفرین دختر...ادامه بده...
Thank you for this video. I've been speaking Russian for 20 years and and I've decided to learn Ukranian now. It's going great, and I am truly enjoying it. What you said is so true about lexical differences. People often think Russian and Ukranian are the same language. However, I noticed immediately many words are quite different.

I studied Spanish in high school and had a minor in German in college. In my 50’s I studied Italian because of my frequent trips to Italy. I love studying languages and really enjoy your videos. I think when a person learns another language you appreciate the culture that uses that language. One of my special moments was conversing with a South Korean in Spanish since neither of us spoke the other’s native language.
I'm learning Ukrainian myself with a tutor and learning lots of phrases. It's a beautiful language and I have enjoyed the process. Hopefully, I'll become fluent one day.
Ukrainian is a bolshevik volapük designed to desintegrate Russian nation. It’s basically a rural dialect, contaminated by polonisms. It lacks cultural an scientific vocabulary, it’s only ok for day to day peasant communication. The documentation to nuclear power stations is still not translated from proper Russian because South-West Russian rural dialects still don’t have a vocabulary for nuclear physics.
@@ErmakBrovar 1. In the Ukrainian language there are terms for nuclear physics. 2. Almost all of them were borrowed from other languages, just like in the Russian language.
My Russian friend from Ukraine lied to me. He said everyone spoke Russian but neglected to explain how the Ukrainian language was repressed. Thank you for this short little piece of history.
Yes, that's pretty much how Russians behave. They usually deny how cruelly they forced Ukrainians to speak Russian. Nowadays, many young people, who were taught by Russian propaganda that the Russian language is superior to Ukrainian, are switching to our native mother tongue, Ukrainian
@@mrsmith1938Stop lying. Everybody knows that Russian language used to bloom in Ukraine before Russian invasion. You forced Ukrainian to speak Russian so long, that now see how Ukrainians are coming back to our heritage
I don't know where your figures come from, but Statistics Canada says "the government release said. Canada has the largest diaspora of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine and Russia, with over 1.4 million people of Ukrainian descent living here,"
Nice one, Julie. I even watched the entire Rosetta Stone ad. But I'm afraid my old brain simply isn't up to learning a new language. I still enjoy learning about them, though.
Your mileage may vary. My mom learned Sanskrit after her 50's and she's in her 70's now, still speaking it as L2. She was born in Brazil, half Portuguese half Belgian, no connection to Asian languages.

As a native speaker of Belarusian I understand Ukrainian 100%. We have dialects in Belarusian Polesia that are closer to Ukrainian than to Belarusian, so our cultures are very closely intertwined. I can speak it, though not perfectly. I love Ukrainian for its melody and melodiousness. For some reason it always seemed to me that in terms of phonetics Belarusian is more similar to Polish, and Ukrainian to Czech and Slovak.
Taras Shevchenko is, of course, one of the most influential and famous Ukrainian poets. However, he is not considered to have formed the Ukrainian literary language. Ivan Kotliarevsky established the Ukrainian literary language
As a ukrainian myself and also a subscriber of yours for a long time, I'm very happy that you have chosen this beautiful laguage as a topic of this video! You gave the needed historical context of the ukrainian language origins and presented the complexity and the melodiousness of this, as we often call ukrainian, - "солов'їна мова" - "the nightingale language"! This video was really great and I enjoyed it a lot! Good Luck on making new interesting videos!
even in that term, the "openness" of Ukrainian syllables could be found in romanization, it'd become "solovyina mova" notice how only one syllable, "lov" ends in a consonant
I love Ukrainian❣️ Вони наші брати та сестри. 🇵🇱🫂🇺🇦 Я вчу українську щодня. In polish word brother is brat and in Ukrainian is брат. The same spelling only different alfabet.
I'm a long time subscriber. I LOVE your videos! So thoroughly researched & interesting. You do speak a little fast (for me). I don't know what some of the linguistic terminology means, but I still learn a LOT. You never fail to impress me. What a Renaissance-like scholar you are (& stunningly gorgeous). Keep up the videos please!!!! Spaciba!
Excellent video, Julie. Really interesting. As an Irish speaker I can identify with the history of Ukrainian. If you love learning languages, it's worth taking a look at Esperanto. It was artificial at the beginning, back in 1887, but now, 5 generations later, it has become a living language. Just like a test-tube baby becomes a child like any other child.
Hey I happen to be currently learning Ukrainian , it is such a melodic and beautiful language , do you have any Slavic origins? I am trying to figure out where you are really from based on your accent but it is bit of a tough one lol
Thank you very much for the video about my native language! I was very impressed how you absolutely correctly described the meaning of the word "Ukraine" without myths about the "borderland" meaning (which are unfortunately present in almost every video about origin of Ukraine and Ukrainians). There is an old XVI century book "Peresopnytsia Gospel" where the term Ukraine is used for Biblical lands clearly in the meaning of "country", "land within the borders". Before the end of XIX century Ukrainians called themselves Rusyns in ethnic sense. Now this name is used only by small group of people in Carpathian area. In fact since XVI century both names were in use but Rusyn - meant ethnicity and Ukrainian meant "from Ukraine". Things started to change when one big neighbouring country usurped the name of Rus' and Rusyn nationalists had to switch to Ukrainian identity to give a chance for our nation to survive assimilation attempts. Ukrainian and Polish shared many words from the very start since our people were neighbours from the very start of Slavic resettlement. In fact Old Russian also had many those words that are falsely considered now as Polish borrowings. Later Old Russian was under huge influence of Old Church Slavonic (it was the only literary language there) and many original "North Slavic" words were replaced by South Slavic words there. Belarusian and Ukrainian were considered as dialects of one Rusyn language for a long time (possibly even up to XVIII century). Even now Ukrainians easily understand Belarusian and vice versa. At the same time we understand Russian mostly because it was imposed as a "language of prestige" and since we often hear it from the childhood. So we de facto have diglossia based on village-city line rather than west-east. People in villages speak Ukrainian in all parts of Ukraine (except for ethnic minority areas). For me English grammar is more difficult than Ukrainian one. We do not have Continuous time and classical Perfect time (we just use past tense verb with prefix that indicates the action is already finished). For me using prefixes and suffixes is much easier than using special verbs. But I am accustomed to it from the birth. I understand that for English speaker it is not an easy task.

@Ennui Putin is not even close to being a hard leftist, not all imperialism is stalinist, in fact Russia has always been imperialist, since way better before "tankies", Soviet union, Stalin etc. were a thing. Westerners growing a soft spot for slavs is a new phenomenon however.
Grew up speaking English mostly but Portuguese as well. During high school I wanted to take German on and did an exchange in Stuttgart. Learning languages is totally addicting. For Spanish and Italian I watch stuff on Netflix and after a while my brain starts to understand them. What fascinates me is where languages merge and diverge creating for lack of a better word Creole style vernacular. One of my favorites is where Dutch starts to fade and French gradually takes over and people in between speak Flemish. Even how German and Dutch are related which heavily influenced English through the Saxons is fascinating. While my Portuguese is NE Brazilian I like hearing the language from Portugal much like I enjoy hearing the King's. Galician in Spain which in many ways is Portuguese but also not reminds me of hearing people from Scotland speak English. I gave Russian a shot about ten years ago on your sponsor and just made me a bit depressed that I'm running out of lifespan that limits my ability to learn more languages.
Once this conflict is over, I suspect that Ukrainian will be the required language for education in whatever lands the national government of Ukraine rules over. This would be similar to what is now happening in Estonia and Latvia where there is now a large legal-push to make sure that all students are educated in the national languages of the two nations. So, as a result of the current strife, all these languages are likely to have bright futures. That may not be what anyone thought would happen when this conflict began.
From what I understand from my family members in Ukraine and comparing it to growing up in Latvia, it seems that Ukrainian has already been stronger in the educational system of Ukraine than Latvian in Latvia
@@JuLingo I very much hope that your family in Ukraine is as safe and well as it can be during these terrible times, and I am sure that all of your other subscribers feel that, as well. As for the matter of languages in areas such as the Baltics and Ukraine, though I do feel that bilingualism or having multiple official languages can be a positive policy in some regions of the world, methinks that it has gone too far for that with nations to Russia's West. Having Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian as the sole languages used in education and government in their respective nations will help reinforce the national solidarity of these countries and draw a demarcation betwixt the Russian Rodina and them. Unfortunately, the current Russian regime has shown that it will use the presence of Russian-speaking minorities as an excuse to interfere in the politics of and to invade the nations in which they reside. This saddens me because I have always been a Russophile and have always had sympathy for Russia's legitimate interests; however, there is no excuse for Russia's aggressive actions in Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and now the Ukrainian heartland itself.
So happy you are back! Don't mind the political trolls, the rest of us thoroughly enjoy your videos. I really liked your choice of words at 11:04 for a good example of how similar languages can have similar (or same) sounding words with other meaning. :)
I beg your pardon, but the ''Rusyn'' language is almost the Belarusian language, and not close to the Ukrainian language! I saw some books from the Carpathian mountains, and I was flabbergasted that I could almost entirely understand them. I grew up in Belarus, just under Latvia, where most people spoke Belarusian, and all teaching at schools was in Belarusian in the countryside. I happened upon ''Carpathian Rusyn books'' in the US in a Half-Price Bookstore. I opened them to take a look, and was amazed. It was like reading a Belarusian book!
The area of "white Croatia "is the cradle and ancestral home of the Croatian people before they migrated to the shores of the Adriatic Sea. The Croatian language, like Serbian, has about 70% similar words, with the difference that Croats use the Latin alphabet.
Aha! I see “pelmen[y]” on your short list of words that came from russian! I grew up in Canada where we always called them “perohy” (from Polish “pierogi”) but people from Ukraine tell me that “pelmeny” is the correct word. So, based on your video, I’ll assume that “perohy” predates “pelmeny” and that it’s not just a “Western Ukraine dialect thing” Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
“pelmen[y]” - it's a dish with meat, russian kind of dish (based on asian kitchen). However varennyky (“pyrohy”- mostly named in villages) is Ukrainian national dish. They are bigger in size, сreated mostly with potato&onion, potato&cheese, cheese&apple, cherry etc. Actually you can combine anything and put in into dough (accept clean meat). Varennyky can be sweet or salty, are served with gravy, sauce or sour cream 🙂.
Pierogi can also mean "pie" in some languages (In Russian a "пирог" is a "pie" though said pie is basically a cake without frosting and at times dry meanwhile "пирожки" is what is what Poles call "Pierogi")
Pelmeny is not a Russian word, it's actually a Finno-Ugfic loanword in Russian, same as the dish itself was loaned from Finno-Ugric kitchen, and it's literal meaning is "meaty ear". Native Ukrainian dumplings are somewhat different from pel'meni and are called "varenyky" (or in Western Ukraine "perohy").
True. Most Ukrainians don't know the the famous old Ukrainian folk song that has a line "Любив козак дівчину і з сиром пироги". Actually means that the cossak loved the girl and pyrohy(varenyky) with cottage cheese. For "сир" in Ukrainian means exactly the 'cottage cheese' and not the hard cheese. The cows were the main food supplier so people not being able to process milk fast enough always made tons of cottage cheese. My grandma made that dish(cheese varenyky/pyrohy) every day! My mom still hates 'cottage cheese' as she was fed up with it.
afaik this idea of a common east slavic language root is more like a Soviet narrative. The real history is more complicated and seems to be disputable to some degree.
this is a Ukrainian folk song called "Ty zh mene pidmanula". There are many different versions of this song. Unfortunately, i couldn't find a violin version of this song (which is played in this video) for example ua-cam.com/video/gX4Q-EaHcEU/v-deo.html
I would not go too far with Polish and Russian influence. Borrowings should not be confused with cognates. The Slavic languages selected from Common Slavic. So similarities don’t necessarily imply mutual influences. Each Slavic language picked and chose what it wanted to from the parent language with some tweaks and adjustments.
Ukrainian does sound quite musical. Great job you have produced for the rest of us. You've sorted out quite well the politics thin ice. By the way, your English is flawless. I am a Spanish speaker, but I lived in England for 8 years.
7:10 In fact after the Revolution 1917 Russian dictator Stalin introduced forced Ukrainization of former Russian regions Kharkov, Donbass, Odessa. Ukraine was rural poor illiterate area and Stalin injected Russian industrial regions into it to convert it to Socialist republic. But wujkis (wuj stryj is uncle in Polish, a derogative naming of Ukrs in parts annexed by Russia in 1939) took upper hand in 2014 Maidan revolt. The result is obvious. A propos my grandfather was born in Jewish settlement Wasilkiv near Kiev in 1905 and I still keep his marriage certificate dated 1930 in plain Ukrainian that sounds like "Свiдоцтво до шлюбу". Шлюб=ślub (Pol.)=wedding.
Many parts of Russia were artificially added to the the Ukrainian Soviet Republic because the communists felt that they wouldn't be loyal socialists unless they had factory workers and deemed it necessary to cement their hold over Ukraine which was otherwise completely rural.
Most of the industry was already in Ukraine. Many entrepreneurs from Europe came to Ukraine back in the days of the Russian Empire. The entire industry of Donbas was built by Europeans. And when communism came, their businesses were simply taken away and nationalized. At that time, many Russians settled there because these enterprises hired people for little money for Ukrainians. Ukrainian peasants did not want to work there because most of them had their own land and worked on it. Later, this land was also taken away from the peasants by the Communists. I also disagree with the idea that Ukrainians were illiterate and that it was the "good" Stalin who taught us. Yes, there were uneducated people in the villages, but in the cities there were many educated elites whom Stalin simply destroyed.
Which territories were artificially added, in your opinion? If you look at the territory of Ukraine during the Ukrainian People's Republic and the territories that were considered "Little Russian" provinces during the Russian Empire, significant territories were taken away from Socialist Ukraine. But no Russian lands were added.
@@yuliiacheberiak6967 Yes, Russia robbed Ukraine of Taganrog, Kuban, North Caucasus, Green Wedge (Far East - Vladivostok & Khabarovsk), Tyumen-Vorkuta and part of modern Bielarus. And Ukrainians have claims on Pyramids of Giza erected by Proto-Ukrainians Pharaohs Tutan Khomenchenko and Amenhotepyuk
@@yuliiacheberiak6967 During Russian Empire there was no such state as Ukraine. In most cities Russian was most often spoken language. Only in village-selo Ukrainian with a lot of Polish and Turkish words was common.
thank you, I hope your video will encourage more people to learn Ukrainian. I have a comment regarding Belarusian. it's spelled in your video as Belorussian (6:41), but in fact, it comes from Belarus 'White Rusj' -> Belarusian /belərusɪən/ (not from Belarussia 'White Russia' -> Belarussian /belərʌʃən/, as some Soviet Union lovers claim)
One important fix, the father of modern Ukrainian language is not Shevchenko. While he's an important national poet, maybe the most important. That honor is often given to Ivan Kotlyarevsky.
6:25 This statement has nothing to do with reality, the official language of Rusь (Ukraine) remained Ruthenian (Ukrainian) under the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia, as well as under the Polish Crown, which crown was the same Lithuanian, actually.

Now... as a person who somehow understands Russian. I am completely clueless hearing pure Ukrainian spoken. There is a chapter in my life were I was somehow like "Brother in Arms" with Ukrainian who spoke "Surzik". Russian-Ukrainian mix. In Soviet Army. We kinda understood each-other...
Surzik is not a 'mix', it is the natural result of a language gradient between 'Ukrainian' ...whose modern form has been standardized purposedly away from Russian...to Russian proper.
7:00 Muscovite language is not Russian and has nothing do with any fictitious «Old East Slavic», being in fact creole Church Slavonic spoken by various Finnish, Turkic, Uralic or Altaic peoples as a result of Christianization and Muscovization.
Q: ukrainians have high non slavic genes... A: That would be impossible because Slověne originated in Ukraine, so whatever set of haplogroups the Ukrainians might have, it is standard Slověnic by definition.
Q: etnic russians... A: The Muscovites are not Russians, and there is no such thing as ethnic Muscovites whatsoever. They are various Finnish, Turkic, Uralic or Altaic peoples randomly corralled together by Mongols on 1237 and speaking pidgin Church Slavonic as a result of Christianization.
@@betterdonotanswer No , russians move to Moscow region who was not populated, from Pskov to border of north est ukraine live etnic russians with almost pure slavic genes, ukrainians especially in south have high non slavic genes and many not look slavic, cossacks for example are turkic +slavic, finnic genes in etnic russians are only litle much than 10% , that is not high they are almost pure slavic , you confund etnicity with nationality aslo etnic norwegians who are almost pure germanic even much than dutch and germans have aslo celtic genetic influence but that not make they celts, and turkic genes are inexistent in etnic russians, ukrainians are not much slavic than etnic russians only in dreams
4:35 How do you know that the Eastern Slavs spoke one common language and that tribal dialects slowly drifted apart? We have no evidence of that, no written documents from this time period. Everything written was in Old-Church-Slavonic and not in spoken Ukrainian or spoken Russian. It is similarly probable that those dialects have been different from the very beginning. It is even possible that the East Slavic branch had even more different languages in the past, that didn't survive until today and got replaced either by Russian or by Ukrainian.
@@vladbojkiv3895 good point. From Novgorod we have a few written documents because it was a developed and important state. Other regions might have had their own variants too, but vanished without traces. Moskovite Russian is large today, because it displaced or extinguished a lot of small languages, some fellow East Slavic, some Baltic, some Finno-Ugric, some Turkic, etc.
Also, there was an Old East Slavic literary language if I’m not mistaken. I think it’s distinct from Old Bulgarian (also called Old Church Slavonic), Ruthenian, and the Old Novgorod language.

Cossacks spoken language was very much like today's Ukrainian. Modern Ukrainian language fixed at most with the works of Gregory Skovoroda in 1780-1800's but quite recognizable Ukrainian (under the name Rus language) is taught in the schoolbook by Melety Smotritsky published in 1618. Anyway, all typical Ukrainian language features were found in over 7000 graffity of XII-XIV centuries scrathed on the walls of St. Sophia cathedral in Kiev. Thus, one can assume some time traveller could effectively conversate in Ukrainian even with the people of Kievan Rus.
Ukrainian and Russian were always separate languages. Russian deriving heavily from old church Slavonic (written language of Rus) and Ukrainian deriving heavily from the spoken language of Rus. Which were different languages.
Greek is not a Slavic language, but it has three genders, four cases, conjugations, concordance, etc. I teach Greek to adult beginners, and all is nice and peachy until we get to cases and declensions. That’s when the students’ eyes start glazing over. Greek is not an easy language. I can imagine how hard Ukrainian is with seven cases!!
I was comparing it to Latin while watching the video. It also has three genders and roughly the same cases as Ukrainian (instrumental is replaced by ablative in Latin but I bet they overlap somewhat), but the endings were very different and it was hard to say any group of declensions in Ukrainian is parallel to any group in Latin while Greek is much more similar to Latin. However, the verb conjugations she put up were very similar (the present tense anyway). You can tell the languages are related, albeit distantly.
I'm confessing. For a long time I also thought that Greek is a slavic language. But it is a very old indoeuropean language, more of a distant cousin of slavic.
So many indo-european languages also have or had 3 genders and declensions and many verbal forms. Icelandic & German, Sanskrit, Old Irish, Latin, Armenian...
And that is one-way process. Ukrainians understand Polish, Slovak, Chech, but they do not understand Ukrainian. When I asked my 7-years old daughter how is it possible, she answered: "Maybe because it's root language?"
Hello I think it would be very interesting if you did videos in Ukrainian and Russian too. There's now even an option to have different voice tracks for the same video.
I review many scientific papers written by scientists whose first language is not English and I have gotten a sense of how Slavic languages are structures by the grammar and syntax mistakes made by authors from different parts of the world. I can almost guess what country the authors are from by the way that they try to write complex sentences.
Hello. I have to correct many mistakes in your video. Vikings were not call Rus'. This name in the form "Ros" was first mentioned in the Annales Bertiniani (before the exaggerated "Vikings" came). The idea of borrowing this name is rather illogical here. The only Rus' that existed is the Rus' in the so-called "narrow sense", what are the usually so-called Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Pereyaslav "principalities". It mainly covers only the northern territories of Ukraine. North of Ukraine, the territories were not called Rus'. Those neighbouring lands were Lithuanian (i.e. Belarusian). Rus' already had two Slavic languages: East Slavic Ukrainian and South Slavic Church Slavonic. Russian didn't exist back then at all. Scholars already debunked the myth that there was Old East Slavic. It became clear after the research of the Novgorod birch bark manuscripts. In Novgorod, for example, Slavic speakers came from the lands speaking Lechitic languages / dialects (West Slavic). The point that Ukrainian borrowed many Polish words is absurdity (and a russian non-scientific myth, by the way), similar to the absurd point that Belarusian borrowed many Polish words. The fact that Ukraine was occupied by Muscovy (or anyone else) doesn't necessarily make the occupied language borrow "many words". It's a speculation that has no scientific foundation without research that was never properly conducted. The written language of the Lithuanian-Ruthenian Duchy was the language that is usually referred to as Ruthenian. That's not Polish. I teach people the history of the Ukrainian language via research. There, in particular, I explain what the term Rus' means and when the Ukrainian language emerged. Welcome.

толькі пару гістарычных заўваг.
скандынавы не заваёўвалі ўсходнеславянскія землі. не было тут чаго заваёўваць, гэта была не багатая заходняя Еўропа, дзе было што рабаваць. таму скандынавы арганізавалі праз водныя шляхі нашай тэрыторыі гандаль з Візантыяй. а нашыя далёкія продкі выкарысталі скандынаваў як наёмных кіраўнікоў, каторых можна лёгка мяняць. у выніку, у выйгрышу аказаліся ўсе.
і наконт дзяржаўнай польскай мовы. сапраўды дзяржаўнай яна стала толькі ў позьняй Рэчы Паспалітай. а ў раньняй дзяржаўных моваў было дзьве: у Польшчы - латынь (так так, палякі не адразу дайшлі да таго, што можна карыстацца сваёй роднай мовай), а ў ВКЛ - старажытнарусінская (старабеларуская, стараўкраінская) мова, якая дала вытокі для сучаснай беларускай і украінскай моваў. але потым, так, пачаліся працэсы паланізацыі і польская мова стала дамінаваць ва ўсёй РП.
а ў цэлым, так, украінская мова капец як плыўна гучыць. і хоць я не магу ёй карыстацца, але слухаць яе магу бясконца: цячэ як ручаінка.

Так, і, тим більше, там про росіянську неправильно було сказано. Взагалі, у регіоні Новгорода була своя слов'янська мова, але, в інших регіонах сучасної Росії - ні. У Московії не було "росіянського народу", натомість, були різні угро-фінські й азіатські народи (зрозуміло, що вони руською не користувалися). Проте, церква використовувала церковно-слов'янську мову. Пізніше, церковно-слов'янську, вважай, силою розповсюдили по населенню і, після того, як вона трохи змішалася з місцевими мовами, з'явилася мова, яку зараз називають російською. А в Україні була своя жива слов'янська мова, яку використовував слов'янський народ. Ось і вся різниця.

1:28 The transition between Ukrainian and Russian is not abrupt at all if you go from West to East.

As you reach Donetsk, you'll notice that everybody speaks Russian.
(This was true before the war, of course.)
Rusyn is another story, it was heavily influenced by Hungarian (and, to a lesser extent, Slovak and Romanian, too, apart from Polish) and it was therefore exempt from the Ukrainian o -> i vowel shift. Rusyn, too, may be considered as at least two languages (Subcarpathian Rusyn with four and Pannonian Rusyn which is spoken in Vojvodina, Serbian, with one). Most Rusyns are Byzantine-rite Catholic while Ukrainians are predominantly Orthodox.

Не треба розказувати про суржик, бо він приблизно однаковий і у Львові і на Луганщині і Донеччині, просто поширення суржику залежить від кількості окупантів. У Львові окупантів менше, тому менше людей говорять окупантською, а ось Київ, Донецьк і Луганськ окуповані давно і населені майже повністю окупантами. Але сільська населення і Донеччини і Луганщини, де нема окупантських еліт, говорить чудовою українською. Те саме стосується Києва, так бідне населення, старі бабусі і дідусі як говорили українською століття тому, так нею і говорять, а окупантські еліти подовжують говорити мовою свого вождям і насаджують її іншим, тому я знаю багатьох немісцевих жителів Києва з західної України родом, які перейшли на престижну окупантську мову, що є звичайним пристосуванством.
Щодо перехідних мов, то їх є дві, там де українці сотнями літ мали стабільну межу з іншими слов'янами, це Полісся, де мова поступово змінюється з української на білоруську, а також Карпати, де українська переходить в русинську, а західніше сама русинська переходить в словацьку. Межі з північними окупантами у нас не було, тому немає перехідних діалектів, хіба на північному сході Чернігівщини. З поляками межа була, але вона проходила між містами Люблин, Судомир, Ряшів, Краків і знищена внаслідок асиміляції за сотні літ перебування цих земель у складі Польщі, тому польська і українська всюди має чітку межу.
Щодо "чистої української", її можна почути в основному на Полтавщині, Харківщині, Черкащині та суміжних районах, це територія де розвивалася українська мова, в інших територіях українська мова зазвичай дуже змішана з місцевими діалектами, це особливо чути в Галичині, яка довго була відрізана кордоном від решти України.

Due to the conflict I stopped and questioned learning the 'other East Slavic' language since I am mostly, of Ukrainian, Polish, and Italian but I started learning that other language off and on to feel more connected to my Eastern European heritage because when I was in high school Ukrainian was not available and resources were limited. That being said, my love for the culture and the other language has not changed.
You mean Russian yes? Plenty of Ukrainians still speaking it, although that has been changing and will continue I expect. I don't believe in languages being politicised.
@@celiabarrett2107 Neither do I but unfortunately, a lot of people do.
@@MDobri-sy1ce it's a shame isn't it? your post read like you were afraid to mention that word... And yes, language is often politicised and linguistic theories set aside to accommodate current thoughts.
Same. I won't engage with anyone who supports the war, which is most of the Russian population unfortunately. So opportunities to use Russian are highly limited.
It is not conflict it is genocide
Being away from my home country (Iran) for a few years and not having the contact with Persian congregation as much as I use to have , learning new languages and seeing foreigners speak my language, utterly delights me.
It's just like hearing a cute baby tries speak, although still not perfect, but it's one of the best joys things in the world you can ever listen to.
I don't know other languages native speakers feel the same , but I saw you in a few videos of yours that you're speaking farsi and I have to say...

Thank you for this video. I've been speaking Russian for 20 years and and I've decided to learn Ukranian now. It's going great, and I am truly enjoying it. What you said is so true about lexical differences. People often think Russian and Ukranian are the same language. However, I noticed immediately many words are quite different.

Thank you for the video about the Ukrainian language
Greetings from Kyiv ❤
7:45 Ivan Kotliarevsky considered to have formed Ukrainian literature language - not Taras Shevchenko
7:17 Russian "вокзал (wokzal)" has origin in London district Vauxhall where there was a train station with enterntainment facilities for passengers. .
I studied Spanish in high school and had a minor in German in college. In my 50’s I studied Italian because of my frequent trips to Italy. I love studying languages and really enjoy your videos. I think when a person learns another language you appreciate the culture that uses that language. One of my special moments was conversing with a South Korean in Spanish since neither of us spoke the other’s native language.
I'm learning Ukrainian myself with a tutor and learning lots of phrases. It's a beautiful language and I have enjoyed the process. Hopefully, I'll become fluent one day.
Ukrainian is a bolshevik volapük designed to desintegrate Russian nation. It’s basically a rural dialect, contaminated by polonisms. It lacks cultural an scientific vocabulary, it’s only ok for day to day peasant communication. The documentation to nuclear power stations is still not translated from proper Russian because South-West Russian rural dialects still don’t have a vocabulary for nuclear physics.
@@ErmakBrovar 1. In the Ukrainian language there are terms for nuclear physics. 2. Almost all of them were borrowed from other languages, just like in the Russian language.

My Russian friend from Ukraine lied to me. He said everyone spoke Russian but neglected to explain how the Ukrainian language was repressed.
Thank you for this short little piece of history.
The Russian language is oppressed in Ukraine nowadays
@@mrsmith1938bullshit
@@mrsmith1938it's not repressed. The Ukranian Language is taught in schools.
Yes, that's pretty much how Russians behave. They usually deny how cruelly they forced Ukrainians to speak Russian. Nowadays, many young people, who were taught by Russian propaganda that the Russian language is superior to Ukrainian, are switching to our native mother tongue, Ukrainian
@@mrsmith1938Stop lying. Everybody knows that Russian language used to bloom in Ukraine before Russian invasion. You forced Ukrainian to speak Russian so long, that now see how Ukrainians are coming back to our heritage
I don't know where your figures come from, but Statistics Canada says "the government release said. Canada has the largest diaspora of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine and Russia, with over 1.4 million people of Ukrainian descent living here,"
Well done Julie - good to see you again.
Nice one, Julie. I even watched the entire Rosetta Stone ad. But I'm afraid my old brain simply isn't up to learning a new language. I still enjoy learning about them, though.
Your mileage may vary. My mom learned Sanskrit after her 50's and she's in her 70's now, still speaking it as L2. She was born in Brazil, half Portuguese half Belgian, no connection to Asian languages.
Haha thanks, especially for watching the ad 😄 well, as they say, it's never too late
It's pretty funny to find exploration of my Ukrainian language between Gotik and Shumer languages.
DakhaBrakha is fantastic, great choice! Thanks for making this video!

As a native speaker of Belarusian I understand Ukrainian 100%. We have dialects in Belarusian Polesia that are closer to Ukrainian than to Belarusian, so our cultures are very closely intertwined. I can speak it, though not perfectly. I love Ukrainian for its melody and melodiousness. For some reason it always seemed to me that in terms of phonetics Belarusian is more similar to Polish, and Ukrainian to Czech and Slovak.
I wish I could pin this comment. The most neutral one I’ve found
This is a very helpful explanation of the Ukrainian language. Thank you for the thoroughness and clarity with which you addressed the subject.
you done great work, regard from croatia / napravila si veliki posao, pozdrav iz hrvatske
🇺🇦❤🇭🇷
Taras Shevchenko is, of course, one of the most influential and famous Ukrainian poets. However, he is not considered to have formed the Ukrainian literary language. Ivan Kotliarevsky established the Ukrainian literary language
As a ukrainian myself and also a subscriber of yours for a long time, I'm very happy that you have chosen this beautiful laguage as a topic of this video! You gave the needed historical context of the ukrainian language origins and presented the complexity and the melodiousness of this, as we often call ukrainian, - "солов'їна мова" - "the nightingale language"!
This video was really great and I enjoyed it a lot!
Good Luck on making new interesting videos!
Thank you so much!
even in that term, the "openness" of Ukrainian syllables could be found
in romanization, it'd become "solovyina mova"
notice how only one syllable, "lov" ends in a consonant
I love Ukrainian❣️ Вони наші брати та сестри. 🇵🇱🫂🇺🇦 Я вчу українську щодня. In polish word brother is brat and in Ukrainian is брат. The same spelling only different alfabet.
I'm a long time subscriber. I LOVE your videos! So thoroughly researched & interesting. You do speak a little fast (for me). I don't know what some of the linguistic terminology means, but I still learn a LOT. You never fail to impress me. What a Renaissance-like scholar you are (& stunningly gorgeous). Keep up the videos please!!!! Spaciba!
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent video, Julie. Really interesting. As an Irish speaker I can identify with the history of Ukrainian. If you love learning languages, it's worth taking a look at Esperanto. It was artificial at the beginning, back in 1887, but now, 5 generations later, it has become a living language. Just like a test-tube baby becomes a child like any other child.

Thank you very much for the video about my native language!
I was very impressed how you absolutely correctly described the meaning of the word "Ukraine" without myths about the "borderland" meaning (which are unfortunately present in almost every video about origin of Ukraine and Ukrainians). There is an old XVI century book "Peresopnytsia Gospel" where the term Ukraine is used for Biblical lands clearly in the meaning of "country", "land within the borders".
Before the end of XIX century Ukrainians called themselves Rusyns in ethnic sense. Now this name is used only by small group of people in Carpathian area. In fact since XVI century both names were in use but Rusyn - meant ethnicity and Ukrainian meant "from Ukraine". Things started to change when one big neighbouring country usurped the name of Rus' and Rusyn nationalists had to switch to Ukrainian identity to give a chance for our nation to survive assimilation attempts.
Ukrainian and Polish shared many words from the very start since our people were neighbours from the very start of Slavic resettlement. In fact Old Russian also had many those words that are falsely considered now as Polish borrowings. Later Old Russian was under huge influence of Old Church Slavonic (it was the only literary language there) and many original "North Slavic" words were replaced by South Slavic words there. Belarusian and Ukrainian were considered as dialects of one Rusyn language for a long time (possibly even up to XVIII century). Even now Ukrainians easily understand Belarusian and vice versa. At the same time we understand Russian mostly because it was imposed as a "language of prestige" and since we often hear it from the childhood. So we de facto have diglossia based on village-city line rather than west-east. People in villages speak Ukrainian in all parts of Ukraine (except for ethnic minority areas).
For me English grammar is more difficult than Ukrainian one. We do not have Continuous time and classical Perfect time (we just use past tense verb with prefix that indicates the action is already finished). For me using prefixes and suffixes is much easier than using special verbs. But I am accustomed to it from the birth. I understand that for English speaker it is not an easy task.

'Kraj' means edge, border. E.g. Srpska Krajina, the Serbian borderland. And that's where Ukraine got its name.
@@mitchyoung93 Ukrainians did not speak Serbian. We had our own language where Kraj had another meaning - country.

@Ennui Putin is not even close to being a hard leftist, not all imperialism is stalinist, in fact Russia has always been imperialist, since way better before "tankies", Soviet union, Stalin etc. were a thing. Westerners growing a soft spot for slavs is a new phenomenon however.
Grew up speaking English mostly but Portuguese as well. During high school I wanted to take German on and did an exchange in Stuttgart. Learning languages is totally addicting. For Spanish and Italian I watch stuff on Netflix and after a while my brain starts to understand them. What fascinates me is where languages merge and diverge creating for lack of a better word Creole style vernacular. One of my favorites is where Dutch starts to fade and French gradually takes over and people in between speak Flemish. Even how German and Dutch are related which heavily influenced English through the Saxons is fascinating. While my Portuguese is NE Brazilian I like hearing the language from Portugal much like I enjoy hearing the King's. Galician in Spain which in many ways is Portuguese but also not reminds me of hearing people from Scotland speak English. I gave Russian a shot about ten years ago on your sponsor and just made me a bit depressed that I'm running out of lifespan that limits my ability to learn more languages.
Once this conflict is over, I suspect that Ukrainian will be the required language for education in whatever lands the national government of Ukraine rules over. This would be similar to what is now happening in Estonia and Latvia where there is now a large legal-push to make sure that all students are educated in the national languages of the two nations. So, as a result of the current strife, all these languages are likely to have bright futures. That may not be what anyone thought would happen when this conflict began.
From what I understand from my family members in Ukraine and comparing it to growing up in Latvia, it seems that Ukrainian has already been stronger in the educational system of Ukraine than Latvian in Latvia
@@JuLingo
I very much hope that your family in Ukraine is as safe and well as it can be during these terrible times, and I am sure that all of your other subscribers feel that, as well. As for the matter of languages in areas such as the Baltics and Ukraine, though I do feel that bilingualism or having multiple official languages can be a positive policy in some regions of the world, methinks that it has gone too far for that with nations to Russia's West. Having Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian as the sole languages used in education and government in their respective nations will help reinforce the national solidarity of these countries and draw a demarcation betwixt the Russian Rodina and them. Unfortunately, the current Russian regime has shown that it will use the presence of Russian-speaking minorities as an excuse to interfere in the politics of and to invade the nations in which they reside. This saddens me because I have always been a Russophile and have always had sympathy for Russia's legitimate interests; however, there is no excuse for Russia's aggressive actions in Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and now the Ukrainian heartland itself.

11:43 Little mistake) 1p should be Čytatymemo, not Čytatymo )
I beg your pardon, but the ''Rusyn'' language is almost the Belarusian language, and not close to the Ukrainian language! I saw some books from the Carpathian mountains, and I was flabbergasted that I could almost entirely understand them. I grew up in Belarus, just under Latvia, where most people spoke Belarusian, and all teaching at schools was in Belarusian in the countryside.
I happened upon ''Carpathian Rusyn books'' in the US in a Half-Price Bookstore. I opened them to take a look, and was amazed. It was like reading a Belarusian book!
The area of "white Croatia "is the cradle and ancestral home of the Croatian people before they migrated to the shores of the Adriatic Sea. The Croatian language, like Serbian, has about 70% similar words, with the difference that Croats use the Latin alphabet.
Hello. I was a little interested in your languages. the question arose, how close are your peoples to each other?
@@iam7610 Supposedly they are almost identical with the exception of the different alphabets, but neither of them would ever admit that. 😁
Aha! I see “pelmen[y]” on your short list of words that came from russian! I grew up in Canada where we always called them “perohy” (from Polish “pierogi”) but people from Ukraine tell me that “pelmeny” is the correct word. So, based on your video, I’ll assume that “perohy” predates “pelmeny” and that it’s not just a “Western Ukraine dialect thing”
Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
“pelmen[y]” - it's a dish with meat, russian kind of dish (based on asian kitchen).
However varennyky (“pyrohy”- mostly named in villages) is Ukrainian national dish. They are bigger in size, сreated mostly with potato&onion, potato&cheese, cheese&apple, cherry etc. Actually you can combine anything and put in into dough (accept clean meat).
Varennyky can be sweet or salty, are served with gravy, sauce or sour cream 🙂.
Pierogi can also mean "pie" in some languages (In Russian a "пирог" is a "pie" though said pie is basically a cake without frosting and at times dry meanwhile "пирожки" is what is what Poles call "Pierogi")
Pelmeny is not a Russian word, it's actually a Finno-Ugfic loanword in Russian, same as the dish itself was loaned from Finno-Ugric kitchen, and it's literal meaning is "meaty ear". Native Ukrainian dumplings are somewhat different from pel'meni and are called "varenyky" (or in Western Ukraine "perohy").
True. Most Ukrainians don't know the the famous old Ukrainian folk song that has a line "Любив козак дівчину і з сиром пироги". Actually means that the cossak loved the girl and pyrohy(varenyky) with cottage cheese. For "сир" in Ukrainian means exactly the 'cottage cheese' and not the hard cheese. The cows were the main food supplier so people not being able to process milk fast enough always made tons of cottage cheese. My grandma made that dish(cheese varenyky/pyrohy) every day! My mom still hates 'cottage cheese' as she was fed up with it.
@@anastasiiaf8311 чому ж ні, знаю цю пісню з дитинства! 😆 "беріть собі дівчину, віддайте пироги!" 😁
afaik this idea of a common east slavic language root is more like a Soviet narrative. The real history is more complicated and seems to be disputable to some degree.
Man some of these comments are a bit odd to say the least
da
What was that last song? I loved it!
this is a Ukrainian folk song called "Ty zh mene pidmanula". There are many different versions of this song. Unfortunately, i couldn't find a violin version of this song (which is played in this video)
for example
ua-cam.com/video/gX4Q-EaHcEU/v-deo.html
I would not go too far with Polish and Russian influence. Borrowings should not be confused with cognates. The Slavic languages selected from Common Slavic. So similarities don’t necessarily imply mutual influences. Each Slavic language picked and chose what it wanted to from the parent language with some tweaks and adjustments.
Absolutely right!
Indeed. Bravo for this. You are an awesome person.
The comment section proves to be interesting
I’m just here because I’m love with the UA-camr
Ukrainian does sound quite musical. Great job you have produced for the rest of us. You've sorted out quite well the politics thin ice. By the way, your English is flawless. I am a Spanish speaker, but I lived in England for 8 years.
7:10 In fact after the Revolution 1917 Russian dictator Stalin introduced forced Ukrainization of former Russian regions Kharkov, Donbass, Odessa. Ukraine was rural poor illiterate area and Stalin injected Russian industrial regions into it to convert it to Socialist republic. But wujkis (wuj stryj is uncle in Polish, a derogative naming of Ukrs in parts annexed by Russia in 1939) took upper hand in 2014 Maidan revolt. The result is obvious. A propos my grandfather was born in Jewish settlement Wasilkiv near Kiev in 1905 and I still keep his marriage certificate dated 1930 in plain Ukrainian that sounds like "Свiдоцтво до шлюбу". Шлюб=ślub (Pol.)=wedding.
Many parts of Russia were artificially added to the the Ukrainian Soviet Republic because the communists felt that they wouldn't be loyal socialists unless they had factory workers and deemed it necessary to cement their hold over Ukraine which was otherwise completely rural.
Most of the industry was already in Ukraine. Many entrepreneurs from Europe came to Ukraine back in the days of the Russian Empire. The entire industry of Donbas was built by Europeans. And when communism came, their businesses were simply taken away and nationalized. At that time, many Russians settled there because these enterprises hired people for little money for Ukrainians. Ukrainian peasants did not want to work there because most of them had their own land and worked on it. Later, this land was also taken away from the peasants by the Communists.
I also disagree with the idea that Ukrainians were illiterate and that it was the "good" Stalin who taught us. Yes, there were uneducated people in the villages, but in the cities there were many educated elites whom Stalin simply destroyed.
Which territories were artificially added, in your opinion? If you look at the territory of Ukraine during the Ukrainian People's Republic and the territories that were considered "Little Russian" provinces during the Russian Empire, significant territories were taken away from Socialist Ukraine. But no Russian lands were added.
@@yuliiacheberiak6967 Yes, Russia robbed Ukraine of Taganrog, Kuban, North Caucasus, Green Wedge (Far East - Vladivostok & Khabarovsk), Tyumen-Vorkuta and part of modern Bielarus. And Ukrainians have claims on Pyramids of Giza erected by Proto-Ukrainians Pharaohs Tutan Khomenchenko and Amenhotepyuk
@@yuliiacheberiak6967 During Russian Empire there was no such state as Ukraine. In most cities Russian was most often spoken language. Only in village-selo Ukrainian with a lot of Polish and Turkish words was common.
thank you, I hope your video will encourage more people to learn Ukrainian. I have a comment regarding Belarusian. it's spelled in your video as Belorussian (6:41), but in fact, it comes from Belarus 'White Rusj' -> Belarusian /belərusɪən/ (not from Belarussia 'White Russia' -> Belarussian /belərʌʃən/, as some Soviet Union lovers claim)
One important fix, the father of modern Ukrainian language is not Shevchenko. While he's an important national poet, maybe the most important. That honor is often given to Ivan Kotlyarevsky.
I'm a native ukrainian speaker and oh my god, your pronunciation sounds so magical, thank you for attention to our language
6:25 This statement has nothing to do with reality, the official language of Rusь (Ukraine) remained Ruthenian (Ukrainian) under the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia, as well as under the Polish Crown, which crown was the same Lithuanian, actually.

@@mitchyoung93that's not true
7:00 Muscovite language is not Russian and has nothing do with any fictitious «Old East Slavic», being in fact creole Church Slavonic spoken by various Finnish, Turkic, Uralic or Altaic peoples as a result of Christianization and Muscovization.
ukrainians have high non slavic genes compared to etnic russians
Q: ukrainians have high non slavic genes...
A: That would be impossible because Slověne originated in Ukraine, so whatever set of haplogroups the Ukrainians might have, it is standard Slověnic by definition.
Q: etnic russians...
A: The Muscovites are not Russians, and there is no such thing as ethnic Muscovites whatsoever. They are various Finnish, Turkic, Uralic or Altaic peoples randomly corralled together by Mongols on 1237 and speaking pidgin Church Slavonic as a result of Christianization.
@@betterdonotanswer slavs not lived in all ukrainian regions , only part of ukraine

4:35 How do you know that the Eastern Slavs spoke one common language and that tribal dialects slowly drifted apart? We have no evidence of that, no written documents from this time period. Everything written was in Old-Church-Slavonic and not in spoken Ukrainian or spoken Russian. It is similarly probable that those dialects have been different from the very beginning. It is even possible that the East Slavic branch had even more different languages in the past, that didn't survive until today and got replaced either by Russian or by Ukrainian.
There was at least the language of Novgorod, which was destroyed by Ivan the Terrible along with the speakers.
@@vladbojkiv3895 good point. From Novgorod we have a few written documents because it was a developed and important state. Other regions might have had their own variants too, but vanished without traces. Moskovite Russian is large today, because it displaced or extinguished a lot of small languages, some fellow East Slavic, some Baltic, some Finno-Ugric, some Turkic, etc.
Also, there was an Old East Slavic literary language if I’m not mistaken. I think it’s distinct from Old Bulgarian (also called Old Church Slavonic), Ruthenian, and the Old Novgorod language.
@@vladbojkiv3895 , the Novgorod Slavic speakers were West Slavic.
You're right. Even the pronunciation of old church slavonic was different in Kyiv and Moscow so it shows us that they were not the same.

Thanks for the video. As a ukrainian, I think it's cool that there are people who are intersted in Ukrainian language
I am interested in what the Cossacks spoke, and how this was compared to Ukrainian.
Cossacks spoken language was very much like today's Ukrainian. Modern Ukrainian language fixed at most with the works of Gregory Skovoroda in 1780-1800's but quite recognizable Ukrainian (under the name Rus language) is taught in the schoolbook by Melety Smotritsky published in 1618.
Anyway, all typical Ukrainian language features were found in over 7000 graffity of XII-XIV centuries scrathed on the walls of St. Sophia cathedral in Kiev. Thus, one can assume some time traveller could effectively conversate in Ukrainian even with the people of Kievan Rus.
@@igorvoloshin3406 indeed 👍
Very nice and instructive video.
Ukrainian and Russian were always separate languages. Russian deriving heavily from old church Slavonic (written language of Rus) and Ukrainian deriving heavily from the spoken language of Rus. Which were different languages.

Greek is not a Slavic language, but it has three genders, four cases, conjugations, concordance, etc. I teach Greek to adult beginners, and all is nice and peachy until we get to cases and declensions. That’s when the students’ eyes start glazing over.
Greek is not an easy language. I can imagine how hard Ukrainian is with seven cases!!
Most slavic languages have seven cases
I was comparing it to Latin while watching the video. It also has three genders and roughly the same cases as Ukrainian (instrumental is replaced by ablative in Latin but I bet they overlap somewhat), but the endings were very different and it was hard to say any group of declensions in Ukrainian is parallel to any group in Latin while Greek is much more similar to Latin. However, the verb conjugations she put up were very similar (the present tense anyway). You can tell the languages are related, albeit distantly.
I'm confessing. For a long time I also thought that Greek is a slavic language. But it is a very old indoeuropean language, more of a distant cousin of slavic.
So many indo-european languages also have or had 3 genders and declensions and many verbal forms. Icelandic & German, Sanskrit, Old Irish, Latin, Armenian...
@@gerald4013 even old English had three genders and an elaborate case system.
Explains why my Ukranian-American friends understood the Polish the school teacher used when they arrived here.
And that is one-way process. Ukrainians understand Polish, Slovak, Chech, but they do not understand Ukrainian. When I asked my 7-years old daughter how is it possible, she answered: "Maybe because it's root language?"
Ukrainian is more ancient then Greek, Latin or Sanscrit. Ukraine is a Motherland of Indo-European civilization.
So glad to see you back uploading a video again. Thanks, Спасибі!
Hello I think it would be very interesting if you did videos in Ukrainian and Russian too. There's now even an option to have different voice tracks for the same video.
dang the comments are gonna be wild

I review many scientific papers written by scientists whose first language is not English and I have gotten a sense of how Slavic languages are structures by the grammar and syntax mistakes made by authors from different parts of the world. I can almost guess what country the authors are from by the way that they try to write complex sentences.
Thanks God we have ChatGPT now and so much more natural grammar constructions in scientific papers 😂
Hello. I have to correct many mistakes in your video. Vikings were not call Rus'. This name in the form "Ros" was first mentioned in the Annales Bertiniani (before the exaggerated "Vikings" came). The idea of borrowing this name is rather illogical here. The only Rus' that existed is the Rus' in the so-called "narrow sense", what are the usually so-called Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Pereyaslav "principalities". It mainly covers only the northern territories of Ukraine. North of Ukraine, the territories were not called Rus'. Those neighbouring lands were Lithuanian (i.e. Belarusian). Rus' already had two Slavic languages: East Slavic Ukrainian and South Slavic Church Slavonic. Russian didn't exist back then at all. Scholars already debunked the myth that there was Old East Slavic. It became clear after the research of the Novgorod birch bark manuscripts. In Novgorod, for example, Slavic speakers came from the lands speaking Lechitic languages / dialects (West Slavic). The point that Ukrainian borrowed many Polish words is absurdity (and a russian non-scientific myth, by the way), similar to the absurd point that Belarusian borrowed many Polish words. The fact that Ukraine was occupied by Muscovy (or anyone else) doesn't necessarily make the occupied language borrow "many words". It's a speculation that has no scientific foundation without research that was never properly conducted. The written language of the Lithuanian-Ruthenian Duchy was the language that is usually referred to as Ruthenian. That's not Polish. I teach people the history of the Ukrainian language via research. There, in particular, I explain what the term Rus' means and when the Ukrainian language emerged. Welcome.
In that period ukrainian etnic grup and ukrainian language not exit, learn history , exist russian and ukrainians were named malorussians, ukraine is a concept, a land of the border with other non slavic grups, even ukrainians are not very slavic genetically like etnic russians from west and north west(Pskov),ukrainians they have low percent of balto slavic(because slavs and balts are related ) genetic compared to etnic russians, belarussians, poles , kashubians and sorbs ,they have aslo high percent of I2 paleo balkan DNA especially in Bukovina and around moldova
@@jilcaionut4116 , stop crying.
@@Daniel_Poirot You didn't give me any argument, this looks a lot like you are lying, you have some childish answers that are used by kindergarten children like this one stop crying , you study history with the school clener , i see that aslo in your scityan theories, probable ukrainians have scityan influence but ukrainians not represent the rest of slavs and aslo ukrainians have high non slavic genes
@@jilcaionut4116 , lol. "Slavic genes"??? 🤣
@@Daniel_Poirot yes , slavic genes (o balto slavic much precise baucause are common in balts , estern and western slavs)
10:30 What Latynka did you use to describe the letters?
Julie, i bet you invest as much time and effort with your job as a GIS Analyst, you must be an awesome one. Thanks for another excellent video, you politely stepped carefully around the political topics. I too wish the world to live in peace.
She is awesome!
Great video 🖖😺
❤️🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦❤️ я русский, но берегите язык предков , в данном случае украинский язык.
Но язык предков Украинцев и Русских это Праславянский язык...
@@egro_chaplia и что из этого следует ? Как одно другому противоречит ?
Да, язык украинцев и русских -праславянский (славянский), но не именно русский , ты ведь к этому клонишь !
@@РАшенСлавянов Язык украинских предков это не Украинский!
@@egro_chaplia а ты сильно украинский язык понимаешь ??? "Русский" ты наш ...😃
Подобные тебе украинцев вообще ни к славянам ни к европейцами не относят, хотят стереть их с лица земли.
@@egro_chaplia слушай, ты утомил, украинцы говорят на своём родном славянском языке , точнее на его разновидности !
Что тебе надо, украинцы тебе что-то задолжали, может даже своими жизнями ???
A very nice post. It made me understand my effort in keeping my understanding of the Ukraine language (minimum) abreast these growing times in our global world. We feel our global language is threatened by strong language groups globally, and much thanks to you bringing languages to our homes with a certain character that appeals to the human side of all of us
