Hola. Yo soy de México, Sonora. Yo soy hablante del idioma Yaqui, es una lengua Uto-azteca de la rama Cahita. Hablo el idioma porque mis abuelos indígenas lo hablaban conmigo y se me quedo el idioma.
This ending feels like the Europeans choked the language family with a pillow
And you're in the modern world, you're welcome. Enjoy your 80+ life expectancy
@@blazer9547Not for Natives
In Mexico, Spanish didn't become the majority language until the 1870's when public schooling became compulsory.
good
@@Komnenos83No, it's bad.
Gran vídeo, pero hay un pequeño error, en el primer siglo de dominación española, el idioma seguía siendo el nahualt como lengua principal y en algunas zonas del norte de México que nunca estuvo los aztecas ahora habla ese idioma.
This is so awesome!! I'm so excited for the next video! Speaking of, what will the next language family be?
I'd also like to ask if you'll be doing South American indigenous languages. They're incredibly underdocumented, even compared to indigenous North American and Aboriginal Australian languages.
I would love to do South America as well
@@CostasMelas Awesome! Could I ask what the next language family will be? ;D
well this one has a depressing ending
Yeah, it took my heart away 😭😭
long now foundation rosetta project (rosetta disk)
Well, I think it could be worse 💀
Armenians disagree, they are currently going through their 4th round of their genocide.
Happy ending, no more human sacrifice
Very cool! I hope it is not last video about Native American language.
Thank you. I aspire to create more. You have already done an excellent job
You know its a good day when Costas uploads another educaitonal language family video. worth the couple week wait
Thank you
Ultra-Sad Ending

Ural-Altaic 🇧🇬🇧🇬❤🇲🇽🇲🇽 Uto-Aztecan
I swear I see you like everywhere talking about turks
Uto-Aztecan languages stretched all the way from Idaho to El Salvador. Also Nahuatl was one of the first indigenous languges to have printed books in the 16th century. The ending is sad, but lets all be glad for the people who managed to preverse and document all these languages for us study!
No they didn't, they went as far south as Nicaragua, do some research next time
@@KingMacuilmiquiztli
Nicaraguan nationalistic speaking lol.
In fact, Nahuatl had grammar before English if I remember correctly.
@@KingMacuilmiquiztliNo they stopped in Costa Rica, I agree the commenter obviously didn't do his research but neither did you.
@@Plataballall languages inherently have grammar, a language can’t exist without grammar
my 3rd great grandparents spoke nawat before it went extinct in nicaragua which is why my grandpa only remembered a few words before he passed. the one that comes to mind is tsinacan because while he was growing up bats always hung around his family's avocado tree
I'm nahua-chinantan (chinandega) and same in my family we preserve a few words from nawat. i'm currently trying to do some research to revitalize the language. LMK if you would like to join us.
Thank you for covering some of North American native history Kosta! Hope to see more.
You're welcome :)
It’s kinda unusual that the shoshones whom americans waged wars against somewhere in the centre of USA and aztecs who are culturally deeply central american in the popular imagination and have built a whole civilisation are actually related
It's not that unusual. Most Europeans are related to Iranians/northern South Asians and their civilization are completely different.
English and Persian (Farsi) language are related too... Meanwhile culturally totally different people. The time span of Indo European language seems to be similar to Uto Aztecan language family (from 3000 BCE to present)
center of USA and center of mexico? i say it is very central american haha
I wouldn't say Aztecs are actually "Central american", but I get your point.
However, keep in mind that language is just a part of culture and it is transmisible between different ethnic groups. All over the world was usual for defeated tribes to adopt the language of the conquerors for survival and status, while maybe retaining huges parts of their original culture and genetics. So relation in language doesn't mean relation in all meanings.
They do not relate only in language, but they share similar concepts/worldview,
Meztisos and indigenous people please learn your indigenous languages 😢
Nah, better forget them
Why? Is more convenient stay with Spanish and learn other global language
@estebanjorqueragutierrez7002 what a shitty logic, being multingual is not a deficiency, specially if one would like to maintain their own identity.
You sound like a coloniser
@@bcjmythical9576 well, sometimes the colonizers were right
Interesting that there is this permanent gap between the northern and southern languages along the Colorado river basin. The tribes there belonged to a language family called Hokan. I wonder what the story to that is.
It was a sort of linguistic no-mans land because the retirees from all those areas all settled there.
Just kidding. That is around where Arizona is today, a major retirement area.
I noticed that gap and found that interesting. It is also interesting that the Navajo speak a language related to the tribes in the Washington/Oregon area. For some reason they moved to northern Arizona.
Incredible that southern/southeastern California has had Uto-Aztecan speakers for the last 4,000 years
finally the american continent phase has begun
Turtle Island/Abya Yala/ Cemanawak are the acceptable names.
@@jaysongarcia1268 ???
It would be better to make a version of whole continent. Such as The History of Languages in North America. Of course, a good piece as always. 🧡
Good video but Numic speakers are now considered to be relatively late arrivals into the Great Basin, spurred to migrate into the area by the same forces that made Dene people migrate from Canada to the Southwest during the Medieval period.
Aren't they now supposed to be from somewhere in New Mexico now? Or are they also coming from the north?
@@bustavonnutzNumics were in Southern California in the early 1200, so south. They definitely are late comers in the Basin, having lived several centuries prior in current Nevada & Colorado
Not sure though about the Na-Dene people though. We can say that they both migrated in the early 1000s (1100-1300) to the Southwest sue to the climate change in the region, but it seems that the Na-Dene picked up the place the Uto-Aztecans left behind. For the latter, the reasoning is that the UA splitter several times in that region, while the Na-Dene came down in a steady flow.
Southern nahua Chinantan (chinandega) native here linguistically called "pipil" but a more correct term would be shiktal masewaltajtol "Nawat centroamericano" since "pipil" was given to us as an offense.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this so long :3
Good job! No... Awesome!!?
Thank you
Hallo Kutwor!
Would love to see videos for the Mayan, Oto-Manguean, Chibchan, Cariban, Tupian and Arawakan families!
IMO one of the worst language losses in Uto-Aztecan was the Nicoleño language of San Nicolas Island in California. It was either a Cupan or Takic language and was probably an island dialect of Gabrieleño. There are only four individual words and a few song lyrics recorded, all from the woman called Juana Maria. For decades it’s been believed that no one could be found who spoke or understood her language, but new research in recent years has shown that she was not the last of her tribe, but she never got to reunite with any of the people she had known at home, that only about four people were able to establish any level of intelligible communication with her, and that Juaneño speakers had the most success with understanding her language. If you’ve ever read or watched “Island of the Blue Dolphins”, it’s based on her story.
Very interesting story. Thank you
Make one video for Tupi guarani languages, from Brasil 🇧🇷
Can you make a video about the history of the Arabic language?
Please do the Oto-Manguean Language Family!
I knew the decline would be massive...

Thank you very much
This work is incredible, thank you!
You're welcome :)
So Nahuans are the ones who made the Aztec civilization wowoww why no one tell this minority group in Mexico they have amazing history????
Less than 3 million speakers remain. The Mexican state made a good job of stomping any other culture that could threaten the "Mexican" identity.
@@arturocevallossoto5203Mexico is literally hating Europeans and indigenous people at the same time
Great video but I'm disappointed that it cuts off Central America when Nawat/Pipil was rather widespread there.
Not really widespread but you can kinda see in the video the big nahua migration after Tula fell in 600 AD when they start moving south to guatemala, elsalvador, honduras y nicaragua but along the pacific.
@@jaysongarcia1268 yeah but the video just completely cuts off all the areas where it was the majority language
Это геноцид
You've have put a lot of work in this amazing video. You're great!
Thank you
Interesting video.
Thank you
huh, different than i imagined. I thought Uto-aztecan started in Idaho and then some elements moved down leaving the Ute/Shoshone/Comanche around Idaho/Wyoming.
But you show it splitting in Arizona and moving both north and southward.
You're my #1 source for history of languages could you eventually at some point make a video of the entire world's languages starting from like 3000 BC?
Nah start earlier. 9000 or 7000 BC

Suggestion: Do a video on the spread of the use of a drug such as alcohol or ether.
For what reason did part of the Shoshone-Comanche move to the Southeast in the 1400s??? (04:29) .
Possible migration of the Na-Dene (Apache-Navajo) from the north
The migration should be placed a bit further in the early 1700. The Athabaskan people (Navajo and Apache) were already in the Southwest in the 1400s, so it wasn't because of them. The story is long so I will post a shorter one;
So I have been told by the Shoshone that they split with the Comanche before hitting the plains, meaning that the split happened in the mountainous region near the Basin.
The (East) Shoshone groups went further and the kin that left behind in the mountain lived there for several generations, until they left the mountains and came to the plains themselves.
We know based on research that they first met the horse there, so it had to be in the 1600s by then. The Comanche now, moved towards modern day Colorado where they got their name from the Ute. Then they moved westwards.
Comanche means something like "enemy of everyone" or something. So it was for blood. They killed a lot of Spanish and even killed Apache because they thought they were allied with Spanish. So basically war.
@@CostasMelasnah it was for blood. You can look it up
I love your videos!
Thank you
they have not colonised california peninsula?
It was area of the Hokan family
I loooooove these videooos
The languages (and cultures) existed for 5,000 years. Or more.
And effectively became extinct within three centuries after contact with Europeans.
"effectively became extinct" is a fallacy. They still resist today. Not all but some.
Confimed: Aztlán is Arizona and Sonora.
No
And after 1519
PIPIL/NAWAT YESSIIRRRR
Painful
Tragic. I hate the Spanish now. But amazing video!❤❤❤
Long live Spain, it gave grammar to Nahuatl before the English had theirs, in fact they were 2 times before English, Also in the "Reyno de México Tenvxtitlan" the official language was Nahuatl and Spanish
@@Cobijadetigre-ix8vt yeah but the spanish massacred them. Poor aztecs and incas
@@leonardo_fratila 99% of the army that defeated the Aztecs were Native Americans, but by your logic they were white Spaniards, In addition to the fact that the Incas were only the nobles who continued to retain their power in the viceroyalty of Peru, 1% of the population
@@Cobijadetigre-ix8vt uh.. no. The spaniards genocided the poor native americans
@@leonardo_fratila bruh
Make a video on the Negrito Languages.
That would be incredibly hard because we don't have enough sources for that since most Negrito languages went extinct way before people started writing about them. Only those languages from the Andaman islands are alive to this day.
@@JcDizon Also some from the Philippines, and it's easy to tell by genetic admixture and haplogroups.
@@MrNTF-vi2qc Negritos are still around in the Philippines but I was talking about their languages. Negritos in the Philippines speaks an Austronesian language which most likely isn't their original language as their original language probably died out over a thousand years ago. But it seems that we can see a number of words in some Philippine Negrito languages that came from an extinct language family that might have been from their original language.
@@JcDizon Yes but I'd at least like to know where the Negritos originated and when and how they spread across Asia.
