      Are you fucking insane man? Turkish and other Turkic languages such as Gagauz and Crimean Tatar have been spoken in Europe for 8 centuries. 20 millions of people speak Turkish in Europe (mostly South-eastern Europe and Balkans) in 2019. Turkish is also only language that’s not officially declared one of 28 languages of European Union despite of being one of the official languages of a member state (Cyprus).

      Because Flemish is not a real language, but more a very strong accent/dialect from the Dutch language. The word Flemish is used only to make people understand that it is the Dutch language spoken in Belgium. But you have a point , they are sometimes very difficult to understand for us Dutch people and it can be considered as a different language :-)

    Standard Galician is closer in phonetics to Standard Spanish from Spain (not from America), but words and word forms are closer to Portuguese than most Galician Dialects. Some medieval changes in Spanish happened in Central Galician also (the "c" as "the"), before that Spanish and Portuguese sounded very similar (It´s known because of written grammars..no recorded news :). Portuguese could be for us like a Russian trying to speak Galician. Beware of easy comparisons! It´s interesting in Eastern Europe how very different and neighbour languages sound similar to us. Easy comparisons: Greek is like a Spanish inventing a language, and Albanian a Basque speaker trying to invent an indo-european language. I understood one word in Albanian: autoestrada

    • @RoScFan
      @RoScFan 5 років тому

      There are many similarities between the history of europe and india. However one major difference was nationalism. The various ethnicities took their uniqueness VERY seriously and not only built countries on that uniqueness but all the intellectuals in those countries made a sustained effort to "standardise" the languages which basically means ensuring that even when a country is as small as albania or latvia, ANY idea can be expressed in the local language and either nationalistic private citizens OR the governemnts FUNDED those intelectuals to ensure the intelectuals didnt stop AND to ensure their result would SPREAD nationwide. And when different governments standardized the same language you got pluricentric languages like german (which was standardized to different standards in germany austria and switzerland). Many former colonies of european powers never got the chance to make such standardizations. Many tribal languages in africa can only be used for day tp day activites like eating, coking etc... in many former colonies the language of the colonizer remains the "language of science and commerce" or the "language of unity".

    I'm a little bit sad and upset that you didn't included Swissgerman. I'm happy though you rRmantsch is included because even in Switzerland a lot of people forget that Rumantsch exists.

      @@sila9431 As a spoken language, it is different enough to standard German to consider it a different language but there is no such thing like a standard Swiss German. The local varieties are very different.

      In pronounciation it's different in some dialects, but in the spelling is quite similar. Portuguese people tend to understand Spanish quite well, and Galician obviously is the same as Portuguese (or at least 99% Portuguese).

      No es cierto, los españoles y portugueses nos podemos comunicar entre sí en nuestra lengua nativa. Yo personalmente veo los vídeos en portugués y nunca he estudiado el idioma, pero entiendo sobre el 90-95%, hay que estar un poco atento mientras hablan, eso sí.
      El idioma que no entendemos, a menos que lo hayamos estudiado es el francés y rumano.
