As a native Mongol speaker, I love this video that compares Mongolian and Kalmyk. Both Mongolian and Kalmyk belong to the same family group called Mongolic languages. As I grew up in western Mongolia, I was able to understand Kalmyk because it retains the old Oirat Mongolian dialect. Some of my relatives who live in very rural remote area still speak like Kalmyk in this video. I laughed a lot because it reminds me of my childhood funny memories speaking with my rural Western Oirat Mongol relatives.
Amar mende! Yes, that is because Bayad are Oirad-Mongol as well as Kalmyks. We have 4 major tribes in Kalmykia - Dorvod, Torgud, Khoshud and Zungar (also Buzav or Don river Kalmyks, which is a group formed from all of the above mentioned tribes in the 18-19 centuries. They were part of Don Cossacks and gradually became a distinct subgroup of Kalmyks). There was a Bayad Mongol student in Kalmyk State University in 2014 and his Oirad was very similar to Kalmyk. But he said that the generation of his parents speak a pure Oirad dialect, identical to Oirad spoken in Kalmykia. We also have a family of Dorvod nomads from Mongolia living in Kalmykia and they speak Oirad virtually indistinguishable from Kalmyk. In Kalmykia we see ourselves as a part of the greater Mongolian nation.
There's one more thing. Kalmyks are something unique in Europe. First, Kalmykia is the only official Buddhist aerial majority in Europe (In Russia, just a bit Northernmost form Caucasus). Second, Kalmyk language is the only of Mongolian origin in Europe. Note that both languages use Cyrillic alphabets officially. Only in China, whoever left, use Todo Bichig, the one of their own
In china they use mongol bichig. I think todo bichig is actually older version of mongol bichig. Todo bichig is ofc different than mongol, but considering that they moved way before like 500 years ago, it's more different than reset of mongolic speakers. Bcs reset of them were developed together, whereas they were far away using the older version (also their own way of speaking in the writing, all mongol ppl used one writing system but read in their own dialects)
Kalmyk was used to create Ewokese, the language of the Ewoks in Star Wars... the only sentence I saw written of it was Ehda Eedeeza Yuhda in the game Star Wars Battlefront 2
@@aage3060 haha Klingon is a truly developed language, Ewokese is kind of "pocket language" like the language of Mordor. If Sauron just had an army of Ewoks, he would've conquered Middle-earth
@@danielpmonteyro so are modern khalkha (mongolian) vs oirat (comparison). Historically khalkha is more like giant confederation rather than tribe, encompassing many different mongolic tribes, including nearby southern mongol, oirats and buryats. It has tons of loanwords from these tribes as well as loanwords from manchu, tibetan, chinese, turkic and russian languages. Whereas kalmyks are only confederation of two mongol tribes: torghuts and durbets.
@@mikhaiiilsalar isn't that different imo, it's apart of the oghuz branch (which also includes Turkish, Azerbaijani, Turkmen and Qashqai), I speak Turkish and I can understand around 40%, but I can't understand Chuvash at all (idk about khalaj, I haven't heard it before)

@@KeekCat Which is an odd way to put it, considering Estonian is the one out of the two that saw much more change while Finnish remained closer to what their common ancestral language was like.
That’s because these sentences in Khalkha Mongolian and Kalmyk Mongolian are not the same. Kalmyks speak Torgut (Oirat) Mongolian dialect. 99% intelligible with the rest of Mongolian speakers.
The reason for that is because the Mongolian translation is more literal (word-to-word) and the Kalmyk translation is more loose and extended. It goes "Being that very many people gathered, there was no way for the newly arrived people to approach Jesus's house door. Jesus was giving people the good news." As you can see, some words were added to the original English text, hence the difference in length.
nahh Mongols could talk straightly without using translator with Kalmyk. you could hear Manchu. in my opinion(Mongol’s opinion) it’s pretty close to korea
In this video they are not reading the same sentences. They could easily use older slangs. That words could sound similar. Ppl in mongolia living different area can use different words to refer the same things. for example, there are many ways to say a girls. Provinces have different ways of saying it, and ppl can easily understand each other. Mongolian myself literally understands it right away.
Kalmyks as Oirads some centuries ago were also exposed to the influence of neighbouring Turkic languages like Tuvan, Altai, and Khazak. That might be the reason for its Turkic accent.
compared translation is completely irrelevant. It wasn't word to word translation, rather just symbolic one just bearing general meaning of the sentence. As a result it sounded like completely different languages. Generally if it as translated in similar way, languages would be much more resembling and same with each other
