Aromanian was probably a much much more spread language even as recent as a century ago, I've seen some figures that when Greece gained independence 10% of the population was speaking Aromanian and they were even higher concentrations of speakers to the North.

Many of the latin speakers of the Balkans outside of Romania were ostracized and marginalized in an attempt by the nations where they resided to destroy their roots and culture, in order to integrate them into either Greek, or Slavic cultures. Hopefully these beautiful Eastern Latin languages will go through a revival and the people will rediscover their Latin roots and cultures again.

@@CheLanguages Ancient Egyptian was proto-Romance and Germanic (a mix). Grammar was close to Romanian, with feminine particle AT, which later became A. Reflexive voice "sa + v" : Egyptian "Sa de/di", Romanian "sa dau/dea,etc". Maat Re > madre in Sp and It, MUTTER in German, mother in En, "mitera" (pronunciation) in Greek, etc. Slavic languages used MAAT KA (Maat's soul) > ma ka > maika. The loss of T in the fem AT is documented in Egyptian, but I think a dialectal variation already lost it in early dynastic, as the name MA REA is documented (but wrongly transliterated, they made up vowels, even if the hieroglyphs contain vowels! They can be decoded properly.). Egypt and Dacia used AMAT (not mwt, which is a wrong transliteration). In both AMAT > AMA. In Romanian it became MAMA, a dual plural that is documented in the Danube script. For short, all Europe, prior to R1b and R1a separation, called MAAT RE (Sun in Libra) their mother, sacred Light, creator of everything. Egyptians called themselves Mosi Re, children of Re (the reference appears in Genesis), which became Misr in Arabic, Masr in Egyptian Arabic and Mitzraim in Hebrew (whose word mother is IMA, a loan from Egyptian). The 40000 year old proto-script of Europe > Danube script (also used at GT and Cuina Turcului) > Egyptian hieroglyphs. Deat (not Duat) comes from "Dya/deea" = light. FRE (not nefer, Coptic added prefix "na" much later on, and it's "nafre") > FAIR - identical meaning (beautiful, "fair of skin"). Hede = white (proto-Germanic word). The Sphinx is REEA (Sahamat, which is Sun in Gemini, Sah AMAT, Sah's mother, Sah = Orion, the name is wrongly transliterated as Sekhmet, but the consonants are correct, vowels are made up. SHMT). The 3 pyramids = Orion's belt. Now, using modern European astrology (yes, we must, this is about astrology), Orion's belt is Gemini 22, 23, 24. The Sphinx is conjunct the middle one - Gemini 23. Using precession (which is scientific), we calculate the time they indicate - from Gemini 23 to Pisces 5 (rounded up a bit), which is the current spring equinox. 108 degrees that we multiply by 72 years (to make up a grand year) => 7776 years ago. The Black Sea Deluge, dated by Ballard et al c 7500 ya, confirming Ryan et al (aprox timeline). The legend of Caraiman (Ka = soul, RAI = heavens in Romanian, derived from RA, MAN = eternal in Egyptian) was documented in 1927 and it is a very direct link to the Black Sea Deluge and what happened then. The giant wizard = Orion, his bagpipe = Orion's belt. The lazy sons killed the good, hard working sons, which explains what happened = Karmin et al propose a severe genetic YDNA bottleneck at the time. The legend of Herod killing all males, is also an indication of what happened - two different sources of the same myth, which turns out to be an event. Djed su = pillar rising = Orion's spine = Gemini. I think it is Bellatrix, the Saka star (Amazons were Saka). Narmer's Palette has a wolf standard - Dacia. Palermo Stone names King SAKA (the name used for all Scythians, both R1b and R1a, including Massagetae). Egyptians and other Saka had a documented dispute about who is older - R1b and R1a diverged c 25000 years ago..... This proves they kept records - and Plato-s account of the GODDESS (Reea) who created both Egyptians and Greeks is accurate, it clearly indicates Egyptians were European and it was well known. Plato also accurately pinpoints Meltwater Pulse 1b....the flood he mentions linked to Atlantis.... Sakarya = Saka Rya, SAKA Sun, river Saka RA (Saqqara). They did leave a strong linguistic trail... Asare = I, son of Re (sa = son, the duck sign). Asare > soaRE in Romanian. SARE > SORE > SOLE > SOL. Ra sa (Ra rising) > raza in Ro, RAY in En. Ra mina (Ra eternal) > La mina > lumina in Ro. Ra dya => a radia in Romanian, "radiate" in En. According to all DNA reseach papers, Egyptians were Euro-Anatolians, but we have their myth of creation and the evidence is undeniable = ancient Egypt was founded by Saka, Dacia and Anatolia... Gobekli Tepe used the Danube script > Egyptian hieroglyphs. Cuina Turcului, which is even older that GT already used the Danube script, including a unique T symbol that appears on Narmer's Palette - King Tesh' name. Saka > Saxon. Saka uber alles. Sounds familiar?

@@CheLanguages SUMMER, SOMMER is derived from SA AM RE (sa am soaRE, I have sun). Sun and son are homophones, because they're derived from Asare, son of Re, who replaced RE as the sun in the current Age (Pisces, when Gemini, Asare is Summer Solstice) - evidence - Sanziana/Sanziene is derived from San Diana > Dziana > Ziana, still celebrated on June 24, so a bit off, but still Summer Solstice, so Diana was the Sun in Cancer. Artemis is derived from RA ATAM, atam = light particle in old European and Egyptian. Atam > adam. Mesarthim (the star) in Aries (the previous astrological age) is Mes (birth) RA ATAM. So Artemis was Sun in Aries = Spring equinox, the previous age. SherATAN (star) - Sa RE Atan, son of RE ATAN - Atenism is dated to the Age of Aries and this star is also in Aries constellation. Amen might have been the Winter Solstice (the temple of Karnak is oriented to it apparently). The sky was feminine, but constellations were masculine later on, because they represented the projection of the earth, which was the masculine principle. Hera = Heat Here (Hathor's correct transliteration), married to Zeus, the bull (Taurus). "Hathor" is the Sun in Taurus, she is a cow with the SUn between the horns. Sahamat (Sekhmet, SHMT) is a tigress (STRIPES, like the Sphinx) with the Sun as halo in some sculptures. She is the Sun in Gemini (Sah amat, Sah's mother, Sah = Orion, a variant of his name). Tigers existed in the area around the Black Sea - the North until Middle Ages, in Anatolia until 1970s.

Ese sustrato lingüístico, la contigüidad geográfica y contacto con la región leonesa, o con Zamora, y su lejanía con la metrópoli portuguesa han favorecido la pervivencia de la lengua que, sin embargo, con la escolarización en portugués desde el siglo XX así como la falta de una escritura propia, pues se ortografía como en portugués, la han llevado a una deriva lejana del "asturiano" normativo, por otra parte solamente lengua administrativa.

Ligurian, a Romance language more similar to Langes d'oil in its origins than to Standard Italian, but every day more and more inflluenced by Standard Italian, to the point that with confidence I can say it's an italianized language. Nevertheless, a beautiful, mysterious language, invisible to the common people and virtually unknown to them; and these traits increase by the day. Unless someone takes up a serious effort to revitalize it, it's doomed to quietly disappear, despite having had a glorious past as the literary and common language of the Genoese Republic. Alas, Italian reunifcation and programme to make everyone speak Standard Italian and label any other language as a "dialect of Italian".

The Romanian alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Romanian language. It is a modification of the classical Latin alphabet and consists of 31 letters, five of which (Ă, Â, Î, Ș, and Ț) have been modified from their Latin originals for the phonetic requirements of the language.

Hello again Che, great video once again ! One more thing that would be interesting to know, is that Aromanian is an only-spoken language(at least according to my Grandmother, she speaaks the language at almost native level) and there is no actual Aromanian lettering/alphabet. Good thing about the language's preservation is that small pockets of people (even young) still use it every day, either for trapping tourists in buying souvenirs or overpaying in restaurants in the highly touristy village of Metsobo(Μέτσοβο) in Greece, sadly very few use it for real everyday occurrences

Years ago I wrote a short Wikipedia article on Istroromân grammar. There is so much more to add but I don't have the time! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istro-Romanian_grammar When people say Istro-Romanian is just a form of Croatian they are basing it on the high incidence of Slavic vocabulary. However the base grammar is purely Romanian. The use of Slavic diacritics also gives it the impression of a Slavic language. The ã in Aromanian is not a nasal sound, but another way to write ă. In 70s and 80s communist Romanian some fonts used ã instead of the usual ă. They are the same sound.

Aromanian was actually targeted by countries like Greece to disappear (and create a homogenous Greek nation). Aromanian (Macedo-Romanian) is nowadays used in songs in Romania, since there are respected Aromanian communities in the country, and it can also be understood by Romanians, at least in part. As a Romanian, I find the text that you put in Aromanian to be very similar to (Daco-) Romanian. Its almost like a window into the past (its similar to archaic Daco-Romanian).

While parts of Britannia was under Roman control, most of their people are predominantly Insular Celtic or German. Don't forget that in the 5th century, the Roman empire left Britannia, and then several Germanic speaking tribes invaded its shores, notably the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. These four Germanic tribes along with the Normans formed a foundation for the English language.

Yes, Spanish has hundreds of Arabic loanwords. Any word in Spanish or Portuguese beginning with Al is almost definitely Arabic, Alcova, Alcohol, Algebra, Alfresco etc. Also, instead of using the word Oliva like other Romance languages, Spanish says Aceituna, which comes from Arabic Zeitun (meaning "olives"), cognate with Hebrew Zeitim for olives

They are not all close enough for Latin to be used as a spoken language, but most Romance speakers can read Latin more or less with some basic education and a Spanish speaker could read a text in Italian and almost understand it completely, or a Portuguese speaker could read French and get most of what is written.

Actually there are few words that migrated from romanian to surrounding slavic languages, including my mother tongue slovak. Slovakia lies on the carpathian crescent so romanian (actually vallach) shepherds migrated withing the carpathia eith their herds and brought their vocabulaire with them. So! Cheese in romanian is Brânza (pron: bruinza). In slovak we adopted this word as Brindza to mean sheep cheese. Its involved in our most famous dish halušky. Another example is Slănină, which is a romanian word for pork fat. In slovak the word slanina means just bacon.

Hi, everyone! I'm a native Spanish speaker from Mexico and I perfectly knew Romanian language was a part of the Romance Language family, but it is interesting to hear about the lesser known Romance languages, especially for us speakers of the predominant Romance languages, and I believe that a good effort should be made to protect them and motivate their speaakers to continue using them, because if not, they will end up disappearing. As I speak the most widely spoken Romance language in the world, I do not face the danger that my language may disappear, but I do feel very bad for people whose language has no guarantee of survival. All languages ​​are beautiful, and I think they should be preserved so that the identity of the communities is not lost. Finally, I personally think that so as to assure the survival of a language, it has to be on the internet and the TV (mainly in dubbing for movies), because, especially for younger speakers, our society spends huge amounts of time online and watching videos and movies, so it's important to have content like that in the language.

I don't speak any Eastern Romance language, but it's very clear: Čače nostru = Pai Nosso (Our Father) kar le sti en čer = que estais no céu (who are in heaven) Probably čer is cognate to céu (sky/heaven) and sti is cognate to estar (to be). neka se spuné volja a te, kum en čer, asá si pre pemint = seja feita a tua vontade, assim na terra como nos céus (thy will be done, in earth as in heaven) Here probably volja is a cognate to vontade (will, voluntas in Latin). This "j" is probably read as an the y in the word "yes". And so on.

Unfortunately many young communities across the world start to drop their parent's native languages in order to speak more "important" languages, but the fact they are embracing Lombardian is good to hear.

If you can understand mirandese does that not make it nore of a dialect of Portuguese than a language?

It's actually closer to Spanish than Portguese, I understand it because of my familiarity with Romance languages, especially Latin.

I understanded mirandese as a spanish speaker, here is my attempt to traduce it to spanish, then english: -spanish: muchas lenguas tienen pruebas de sus pergaminos antiguos, de la literatura escrita hace cientos de años y de escritores muy famosos, hay/hubo? Banderas de esas lenguas. Mas otras que no se pudo tener nada de eso, como en el caso de la lengua mirandesa. -english: lots of languages have proofs of their old pergamins, of the literature written hundred of years ago and of very famous writters (was?) Flags of that language. More other that could not have nothing of that, like the case of the mirandese language. It aint perfect, but it is what i got out of it!

You're right, and they still do. Türkiye is one of the only places where Ladino survives "in the wild". The Ladino spoken in Türkiye is it's own dialect with lots of Turkish influence, and there's even a Ladino newspaper in Türkiye today called Şalom!

Romanian also has letters that no other Romance language have

Do you know of any other romance language having letters like é , è, à , like french has?

as a romanian, to me aromanian sounds like romanian without cases and obviously a lot of greek words, while istriot seems like a perfect blend between italian grammar and romanian vocab.

@@CheLanguages There are cases in Aromanian but still many NEVER cared to write the language and verb conjugations and declensions down! Mainly because they are wearing special horns in their heads and are literally the c word! There is nothing wrong with Aromanian language, it is an incredibly rich language, there is MUCH wrong with Aromanians who usually are sellouts and suffer inferiority complex. But some of the flaws come from being unjusted and not having a country. Or having many. Aromanians become integrated and become the one with the majority like in Greece but still suffer from severe psychological issues and inferiority complex!
