    Astonishing language. whenever I see that banner ad about "learn any language in three weeks" I want to say "honey, let's talk about the Pacific Northwest" 😁

      The Pacific Northwest languages are no joke. People talk about European and Asian languages being hard, but they never seen how difficult the Pacific Northwest languages are.

    As a Tlingit, we have very structured and formal identities and therefore long introductions that have many parts sooo the first 3ish minutes of the video was their introductions and backgrounds 😂 I've been fortunate enough to work with Naakil.aan and he's such a solid guy and amazing teacher! Gunalchéesh haat yeey.aadí! (Thank you all for coming!)

    The woman said "Grand Marais, Minnesota" when talking about the Anishinaabe. The Grand Portage State Park in the Anishinaabe nation up near the US-CAN border is a beautiful place with amazing views and a wonderful feel for the untouched Ojibwe Minnesota - this is thanks to the joint efforts of the Ojibwe conservationists in the area and the Minnesotan government.

      well there is a theory that groups dene-caucasian languages (as well as yeniseian and sino-tibetan) as a macro-family, frankly i'm not familiar enough with any of those languages to say wether that's insane or not, but it sounds really interesting esp since it would have to be extremely old

    I love how this language sounds. I don't understand a word but when I listen to it and let my thoughts drift I imagine how it used to be in the Americas before Western colonization. A small village at the edge of the forest, pure, untouched soil for as far as you could see, holy mountains, sacred seas, vast oceans.
    Please don't tell me they talked about the traffic in the city and their day at the office...

    When Mr. Naakil.aan quotes a student (?) speaking in English, he sounds as if he's channelling the "Northern Exposure" character Ed Chigliak, who was supposed to have been adopted by the Tlingit.

    I was listening to the Wikitongues K'iche video and i think they sound a bit similar. I was just thinking how cool that is considering how far apart Guatemala and Alaska/Canada are. Native American languages are beautiful.

    • @Philoglossos

      The languages are completely unrelated. Any similarity in sound is coincidental. :-)

      Cap1 Banksy their names are lgeik’i and naakil.aan so unless they learned it later in life, they’re probs l1 speakers of lingít, there’s a number of reasons they could be, perhaps they’re talking slowly for the camera, or they were told to by the camera person. now that i think about it, they seem more and more like l2 speakers. i heard, who i presume is lgeik’i, saying “anishinaabe” so they could be ojibwe, but there’s no way of telling

      Probably cause it has the sound [ɬ] which is a fairly rare sound, although it's in welsh and it's pretty common in native american languages. The sound is even right is the languages name!
