He was on no more than telling out a university assignment to us all. What the man says will highly suggest that it is fact. When what he is reading as the sources, gives him sentencing and paragraphs without the words might, could or possibly. No, all cohesion does is make an individual sound academic which he does superbly. Also, he comes across coherent, yet others may argue that the use of English language amongst Americans never sounds as coherent as a non academic schooler from England. For example, the part in this video where he presents the pie chart data about population of Africa India and others; however, cohesive - a non academic English child could in my reckoning sound more coherent like with 'the flocking Indians rule over there'. Once again American accents take away a little coherency of English languages. Only a little mind you he is still heard. I listen back to my English and sound like a gay kid looking at his own backside arching for please please sir I want some more or whatever Oliver said in his moment. I does think like in the case of Mauritius, that in the West books like remembering the world started in the 19th century when slavery was abolished. When we all know the world is still less than 200 years old from 1837. My guess is Europeans knew how advanced they felt about themselves and really in their hearts knew despite colonialism that they were never turning Africa into European beliefs without slaves. Ask scholars why they don't talk about what African did in the 8th 9th and 10th century. It is the fact they still no nothing other than what Africa has told them themselves so historically absent. You may even believe an African that says his blood came from an animal. When all he meant is the spirit his meat on his plate can present. Either way, if the Holy Ghost sounds like a he one minute then a she the next, are we to think angels or God? Spoken language sometimes is as bogus as written language, my girlfriend writes a text to tell me folk off it isn't real in my eyes it is anger she says with her own mouth she likes tyresse am I still to take her seriously if she likes somebody more than tyresse?

Well said.

I've always like these countries (especially Suriname) since they are the "odd ones" in South America. Being latino, I always wanted to learn about them and how they developed an unique society which is multicultural and intriguing. I have always loved to see people from there, so diverse, so interesting. What shocks me is the fact that some people in South America think that the Guyanas are islands in the Caribbean and are surprised to learn these nations are located in mainland (even some people do not refer to it as Suriname but as Dutch Guyana still and some are not sure whether French Guyana is independent or not). In cultural terms we are different and for example in football none of the "Guyanas" are part of CONMEBOL (South American confederation) but they play in the CONCACAF (North Central American and the Caribbean). That situation is similar in other sports (baskeyball, voulleyball etc.) When it comes to South American athletics championships the Latino South America and Guyanas compete together as well as in the South American Games. Love this video and I want to learn more from them

This was a very interesting video! One of my best girlfriends is from Suriname, and seeing this video helped me understand the confluence of different groups of people that came together! Now I see how she is "black" culturally, but is also so Latina-looking, yet Indian too (Native), and speaks Dutch! I have to share this with her!

Oh boy (or girl) one of the qualities of Suriname people is that we speak more than 1 language. For most people in Suriname 5 languages are a minimum. And since we don't really have an accent we can also master many accents, it comes easy to us. Like speaking English with an Indian accent, English with an Guyanese accent or dutch with an accent of Holland.

Sorry, but what's a "Latina-looking"? Latinos are not a race, as many people think. We are a linguistic group (Spanish and Portuguese-speaking of different ethnic backgrounds). Latin Americans are a diverse group. I'm a white Latin American of Spanish, French and Italian descent and my mother tongue is Spanish.

Great history lesson to learn about the history of my countries origins. So I have black,irish and chinese in my genes.

You must be ignorant. Dont get it twisted I am very proud of being black. If I said that I wasnt black then you will have a case for a legitimate argument.

Your historical thesis on the Guianas and other parts of the world from which present inhabitants originated through population growth, was quite educational. I am 76, of mixed African and Indian heritage, what we refer to as "dougla" now residing in Florida, via 26 years growing up in Georgetown, Guyana from 1944 to 1970, 47 years in New York and now three years in Sunny Florida. The saying that one is never too old to learn or be informed is how I best describe your video. Thanks for your perspective.

Guyanese people are like cook up rice we’re all mixed up🙌🏾🇬🇾

Cool video! I liked the information. Will study more about the region.

I love this video. 2 of my exs were Indo-Guyanese. I love their culture, music, food and definitely history.. its so beautiful!

Wow, this is so cool. I just looked at a map earlier today and realized I've learned at least a little something about every South American country except for these three. So fascinating how a history has led to these extremely diverse and unique populations.

This fascinates me so much and makes me want to visit Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana! So cool!

There is a Dutch rapper of pure Amerindian-Surinamese descent named Tony Scott who rapped in English during the late 1980's and early 1990's. He mostly did hip house and new jack swing stuff, he wasn't bad at all. Look up "Get Into It" or "The Chief".

Congratulations! You did a pretty good job with the video! A lot of it reminded me of the similarities between Guyana and Trinidad, in terms of the mix of races.

I've recently been studying my heritage more in depth and appreciate this short documentary on my people. My grandfather flew to the states after growing up in Georgetown.

What an incredible lesson covering the history and immigration of various nationalities from around the world to this part of South America! Wonderful narration, good graphics, and and a great lesson in geography, culture, migration, inter-racial relationships, and history of this region. Educational! Thank you!

I am brazilian and the Guyanas always seemed a fascinating place to me. Most brazilians are european+african+amerindian, with sometimes a japanese or levantine ancestry, and i wonder how would Brazil be if we had south asian in the mix like the Guyanas have.

Its not alot but There are people that are mixed with Portuguese (Madiran), black and Indian. It would be very hard to find that mix now since Most of the Portuguese population the left in the late 1960's and 1970s for the UK, Canada and other places. Could happen again if there is immigration from Brazil.

WOW! This was a great learning experience for me. I love it 😊

As a dougla guyanese person, theres some slight corrections i would like to make. 1. the term "dougla" is not applied to all mixes 2. it is only used for persons of african and indian descent 3. there are other terms of persons who are biracial such as boufiyana for persons of Amerindian and african descent 4. among the guyanese the word "cook up" is applied to persons who are multiracial (3 or more ethnic races). this is done because the meal cook up requires alot of ingredient while the individuals have alot of ethnic mixes. not a point more of a fun fact these terms have originated from the creole language spoken. and the term of dougla (once again african and indian) is also used in other islands such as Trinidad because of how common the mixture is. it was a very insightful video

Essequibo river Amazona as a Guyanese born and raised in Berbice I have heard of those terms before, in school we would refer to our mixed friends as " cook up" not being disrespectful or rude but done in a joking manner, also bufiyana is a common term used alot I'm not sure how you have never heard it before

I’m Guyanese and Newfoundlander. Both of my parents pronounced “boy” like that. They also couldn’t pronounce the letter “H”.

I'm Guyanese born, migrated to Canada (Toronto) when I was 5. There is always a long conversation when people ask me where I'm from. I always say I may have Indian roots because I look Indian and my name is Indian, but I am Guyanese not Indian. I did love the video, we are diverse nation but in Toronto the diversity is 50x more. So I married a Lebanese, my future children will also have a long story as well. LOL The beauty of migration. All in all, we are one blood. I love all cultures and embrace them as I do my own.
