I am from Ireland, and my native language is dying very quickly. I was lucky enough to go to an Irish school, where we only spoke Irish. But most other children on the island went to English schools. There are very few native speakers of Irish left in the country. And most Irish people can’t speak Irish fluently. It makes me sad. Our language will probably be gone in 100 years. But I admire how other small nations are preserving their languages so well. We are proud of you! We know how hard it is. We may have lost our language, but we will support other indigenous nations who are working hard to keep theirs! Good job!

@@LifeinYakutia I don't know if you know this, but when he is speaking about Irish, he means the celtic language Gaeilge, which is a separate language from the Irish dialect of English and it is the native language of Ireland. In the last few hundred years, because of occupation and colonization of the English, the English language has mostly replaced the native language of Gaeilge and now it is only spoken in small pockets in the west of the island. There is however an effort to revive the language through immersion schools where courses are taught exclusively in Gaeilge. I'm not from Ireland, but I have a big interest in languages, so that's how I got to know of it 😅 I hope this info can be useful to anyone and I think different peoples can learn from each other and from how they preserve their language, like in Yakutia. Thanks for sharing Maria! 🙏❤️

There are basically 3 main sides of a language, from the most important to least important, is that language's literature thought in at least some of the local universities ? is the language spoken on an everyday basis ? (to keep it alive and allow it to form new words on it's own rules) are there any NEW intellectual property (songs/rhymes, books, poems etc.) that is made by using that language ?

When visiting in the Galway region 9 years ago, I ran into a few people who couldn't or didn't care to speak English. But they were not young people. There were people near Dublin who didn't believe me, or didn't care to, even though they knew a bit of Irish themselves. Some say they were forcefed too much Peig Sayers in school, which turned them away from it. I'm from the U.S. and have no Irish ancestry. The only words I've learned are ní thuigim. I should probably learn how to say it more politely.

Hi Maria! I'm a sociolinguist based in Okinawa, Japan, and doing work on endangered languages there. This video was so informative and enjoyable for me! Thank you! Based on your description, it sounds as though Yakut might fall on Level 4 (transmitted through public education system) on Joshua Fishman's Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale, but is also used for local and regional mass media and public services. However, you noted that Yakut is becoming increasingly vulnerable because children are starting to prefer Russian over Yakut. My question is, why do you think Yakut children are starting to use Russian more, when their whole families are native speakers of Yakut? I'm doing research on the Yaeyama language, which is critically endangered (8a or 8b, "Moribund"). It has about 1,000 full native speakers left, almost all of which are over the age of 70. Yaeyama is not the language of education in the region where it is natively spoken. At present there are some radio programs and special events where local people can use Yaeyama, but the Japanese government does not permit classes to be held in public schools, and our generation (child-bearing generation) can neither speak nor understand it. I'm trying to find ways to combat language loss, hence my question to you. Best Regards!

I'm really happy your channel is growing so fast lately. A few months ago I was afraid you would give up but you kept going and now you're going through the roof! You are doing such an important work, showing the Yakutian way of life to people on the other side of the planet, like me. Keep it up!

❤ Azul fellak a gma Thanks for your comment but I have to correct you on something 😅 Kabyle is the opposite from being endangered. It is the most spoken amazigh variant in Algeria and the most widely known among other imazighen and in academia after the Souss dialect of southern Morocco Basically you have Riffian that is widely spoken in Europe lol places like Holland and Belgium and Spain , Kabyle mostly in France of course it’s like the second most spoken foreign language after Arabic in Paris lol Then you also have the Chaoui dialect that is widely known in Algeria. Souss and Moroccan Atlas dialects are also by no means endangered lol. So while there is still discrimination and racism against amazighs let’s not exaggerate some claims please Among the endangered variants of Tamazight are Chenoui from places like Tipaza (western Algeria ) possibly Mozabite and definitely the ghomara dialect that used to be spoken in Tetouan (northwestern Moroccan region in general )

And may the Sakha language be kept alive along with it's culture and traditions.

Yakut language sounds beautiful and natural, I hope it is preserved for generations.

I think Yakut sounds gorgeous, like a cross between Finnish and Turkish. I'm very familiar with the sound of Turkish because a lot of people speak Turkish where I live in London. One of my old books ("Teach Yourself Turkish" from 1953) says it's possible to travel all the way through Central Asia into China speaking Istanbul Turkish and people will still understand you! I'm not sure how true that is now, bearing in mind that the book was written 70 years ago... I started learning Russian so I can visit Siberia one day. I have to say it is by far the most difficult language I've ever attempted. Far harder than Japanese. I've been learning Japanese very slowly for years and that is an agglutinative language, just like Yakut. I think the grammar is far more logical than any European language. 📺 PS re the cartoons, can't they launch a children's TV channel in Yakut? It's not particularly expensive to dub cartoons. The Welsh TV channel S4C broadcasts cartoons nearly all day and only puts adult programming in the evenings. About 400,000-500,000 people speak Welsh as a first language and about the same number again speak second language Welsh. But for a language to survive it has to be spoken by and used by children! It's great that so many people are willing to learn it as a second language but that's not enough to keep any language alive. Only first language speakers can keep a language alive!

Dear sister , I love the language , Yakut is a unique Turkic language and I think most well preserved one , ! It would be great to teach our kids Kagans and the Gokturk empire as we were unified for the first time inthe history this will provide your kids the sence of belonging to a huge family with our own alphabet and counting system and calendar

it's so fascinating to learn about your life and culture, if your channel wasn't recommended to me, I would have never known about your culture. thank you so much for sharing! it's truly wonderful to see. As I understand, the climate of Yakutia is similar to Dras in India :) would love to visit your part of the world someday

It is very interesting for me to listen to Yakut language which is foreign for me (I'm German) - though the sound reminds me with the vowels of Turkish, but some consonants sound Mongolian. In my region the traditional dialect (Low German Language) died out with the generation of my grandparents because people stopped speaking it at home. There use to be one page in our local newspaper in it, but the newpaper stopped this page like 10 years ago, because there where hardly any speakers left. Once people don't use it in every day life it is very hard that the language survives and even harder to revive it.

This is another lovely video! Thank you, I really like watching them they make me feel peaceful.

Thank you so much. I love all your videos and it is so nice to learn about you culture and language.

I think it'd be nice to hear a conversation between you and another Yakut speaker in Yakut language :) I'm from Australia, and although English is our main language, there are over 250 indigenous languages. Unfortunately I don't know an indigenous language as none of them are taught in school, some languages were almost forgotten too, as due to terrible past events in Australia indigenous people were told not to speak it, and have now in some cases having to relearn their own first language in attempt to keep it alive.

@Thomas Hobbs-Allen kuarna language, I'm very ignorant of it and its history though, unfortunately

Wow you’re an English teacher! I used to teach English as a 2nd language. I’d be interested to see a video about your work day after your maternity leave is over! 😉

I vow to watch your ads on your videos, stay the whole time, and like and comment everytime! I can't wait to see the progress of your channel

This is great. I got interested about yakutia/sakha yesterday and this vid came in perfectly in time.

Every little region in Italy has its own little dialect, some you can understand if you speak Italian and some you don't. I live in the extreme Northern part of the country (in the Alps), my dialect is its own language and not mutually intelligible with Italian. Unfortunately my mother was not as good as you are and didn't want me to learn it. In Italy there's this idea that dialects are crude and rugged, the language of the ignorants, while Italian is the language of the cultured people. For this reason less and less children in Italy are learning their religional languages. I'm lucky to have been born in the countryside, here dialects are more preserved and in my town even teenagers and children speak it. I still have a hard time speaking it, but I understand and know it very well. N pensee i 'n abrasc da la Lumbardia 🥰 a thought and a hug from Lombardy (Italy) 🥰

Hi Sabrina! I recognize the same attitude towards local language here in Belgium/Flanders. It's good to speak a language that other people understand, but it shouldn't replace the local tongue and it's rich culture. I would love to learn more about your local language from Lombardy 🙏❤️

I live in northern Italy as well! I live in South Tyrol, which borders Austria, and most of us speak a German dialect. We don‘t really have newspapers or tv shows in our dialect. We either watch German/Austrian TV or sometimes Italian, though we sometimes find it difficult to watch Italian shows, because they speak so fast 😂 Lately, I have been hearing some songs in our dialect on the radio, which is quite exciting. Our dialect differs from valley to valley, city to city, it‘s quite interesting! It also contains lots of Italian words such as “ magari“ (maybe) or „alla fine“ (in the end/in conclusion) and with globalization we even use some English words, though that mainly goes for teenagers/young adults. So it quite often happens that a sentence is made up of words from three different languages 😅

Hello Sabrina! Thank you for sharing! Yakut language had the same issues too. It was forbidden to talk Yakut in 60s and 70s, my mom used to say that Russians could interrupt you in the bus/shop “stop talking Yakut”. And of course it was a language of villagers, not “cultural” people. Fortunately, generation of my parents got through it and preserved our language till nowadays. Now the future of Yakut language is in our hands.

You‘re right, I‘m not a real Italian I‘d consider myself more Austrian than German and definitely not Swiss, since South Tyrol was part of Austria before World War 1. I‘d say I‘m more influenced by Austrian traditions than Italian.

Sakha tyla sounds sooo nice! Maria, to popularize your language, you might consider teaching basic phrases to your viewers such as наьаа учугэй видео or Махтал etc.

I think "tyla" means "language of", "dili" in Turkish. tyl, dil meaning language.

This is the first time I've seen your videos and I'm delighted to learn about your home and the people of Yakutia.

I am a new subscriber and it's great learning about your way of life.

I'm from Scotland, so we have Gaelic (similar to Irish, though quite distinct). For various historic reasons, primarily because it was actively discouraged in favour of English which is the main language now, it's spoken by almost nobody as a first language. We have Gaelic schools in some parts of the country, so Children can be taught from primary age in Gaelic and English. Also, most road signs and emergency vehicles are written in Gaelic and English (especially in the highlands and islands). I think it's an important part of our history as a culture going back hundreds of years. It would be really sad to see the language die totally.

Really interesting video, thanks for sharing different aspects of your life.

You have a very soothing speaking voice. I love watching your videos.

I would love to learn some phrases and vocabulary in your language :) I am learning Turkish now, and it sounds very similar indeed.

I'm so glad that you are making an effort to keep the language and culture alive and well! I would love to have a book on Yakut fairy tales and Olonkho.

I love your channel! Is very educational an interesting! Thank you! Greetings from Piriapolis, Uruguay

This language is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing your insight with us :)

I love this channel. Yakutia is also very meaningful. This is great, Thanks Maria. Greetings from Turkey.❤️

I from Chile, my mother tongue and that of the majority of the population here is Spanish. However, Before the arrival of the Spaniards was mapudungun, a language that today very few speak, is quite sad and I hope we can do something. Your work in teaching his nation's culture is admirable, and a greeting to all the Turkish-speaking people I saw that there are several.

Greetings from Chicago.That was very informative.

I'd love to learn more about Olonkho! Loved hearing you speak your native language, your videos are all so fascinating and they just get better and better.

Thank you, Maria! You are an incredible person and I'm so happy to have found your channel, may it continue to grow! I wish you and your family every happinnes

It so cool that you are trilingual! And also super cool that you try to preserve the beautiful language for future generations and that you read for your son❤️ my mom and dad sit on some old Swedish that they keep to themselves, I'm going to ask them about it!

Hey Maria! Thanks for your interesting video's. i'm from the Netherlands and I live in the northern part. Our province is called Fryslân, and we speak Frisian, ( i was raised bilingual) which is a minority language. Officially it is the second language of the Netherlands, and you are allowed to speak it in court of at any other formal situation. But since not so many people (400.000 at the moment) speak it, it isn't used that much in formal situations. I speak it all the time, unless someone is talking Dutch to me. I try to keep it alive by talking( at home, work, supermarket, whereever possible), writing (on whatsapp and email), reading, watching telly and listening radio and sometimes music, and talking about our language to people who don't know. Just like your language, i hope it won't vanish!

I am a language nerd. I absolutely loved this video as well as all of your other videos. I know some Turkish and I could pick out some similar words when you were speaking. I have been learning Welsh for over 3 years.

Such beautiful language Maria, thanks for sharing another nice part of your culture!

You are very calming Maria. ❤️

Thank you for this video. I was wondering how your voice would sund when speaking you native language. Now I know. Your English is really impressive, I know how hard it is to learn for someone with your linguistic background. That being said, I'm already impressed how much work there is done to preserve the Yakut language: books, schools, even films. With around 20 million speakers around the world, we don't really have a minority-language, but it is hard enough to keep it alive. Literature is a very important aspect of it. Languages without written literature are bound to be forgotten at some point. So, the main answer is: more books. I understand there isn't a traditional Yakut-script? It never existed? Well, maybe there is no need if the Cyrillic alphabet does meet your needs.

Maria, can you recommend us any Yakut movies? Also, congrats on breaking the 10k subscriber count and hope you get to 100k!

whoaaaah this is so interesting! Yakut language sounds so nice

It sure sounds different but i can still understand what you say when i focused. Even with the mongolian and russian words in betweens, it can still be easily observed as a turkic language. I am from Turkey. Greetings.

Hello, Thanks for sharing your language, im from Philippines my language is Tagalog. GOD BLEss you 🙏🤗

I love learning about other native languages. I'm Maltese, and our language has around the same number of languages as yours. Although I went to an English speaking school and didn't speak it well for the first 14 years of my life but then I made the conscious effort to learn it after reading about how indigenous languages in South America were dying out because younger people weren't picking them up. We have the same problem here, my 2 siblings hardly speak Maltese and many of my friends don't speak it fluently. Children's media is so important to help foster curiosity in children and teach them a language. Because there isn't much good kids media in Maltese here, many are growing up speaking English with an American accent.

Wow, an excellent video. Keep doing the good work of speaking your language with your husband and son, great way of not loosing it. Also, love the books for the kids in your language.

I am so glad that the Sakha language is widely spoken! As a Korean teacher, I was very curious about whether the Sakha language is still being used today. The Sakha language is related to Korean. Let's work hard to develop Altaic languages together!

Yes, it's widely used by Sakha, Evenks, Evens, Yukagirs, and Dolgans, also, by a little number of Slavic Russians who raised among Yakuts. The areas of use have recently widened due to the growing number of theses nations (peoples) in Eastern Russia and migration of Slavic Russians back to Western Russia. The Sakha people make up around 52% of Yakutia's population whereas Slavic Russian do 32%.
