People asking why our ancestors didn’t settle in Australia, the answer might be simple: look at where we mostly settled, most of the lands our ancestors set foot in have a tropical weather, have a hot temperature and are also humid. Our ancestors probably set foot in Australia and saw this huge-ass desert with arid lands and dry weather and probably said « fuck it I’m not staying ! » lol

The theory is that both Sama people and Malagasy people were originally from the southeastern coast of Borneo before they began exploring the sea (or were pushed out to do so) in around the second half of the first millenium. While the linguistic evidence conclusively grouped their languages together, though, the DNA evidence shows a significant mix with people from Southern Sulawesi as well, which indicate that there were intensive ancient exchange between both sides of the Makassar Strait.

I have to note that the Malagasy migration was a bit earlier than that of Sama though, and may have been facilitated by speakers of Javanese and Malay as evidenced by influences these two languages give to Malagasy. But still, it's interesting because the majority of Barito speakers today mainly live inland. It's possible that the now dominant Banjar ethnicity in southeastern Bornen coast used to speak language(s) related to Malagasy and Sama-Bajau before they got Malayized in the second millenium CE.

The fact that arguably the proto-japonic and proto-koreanic homelands were so close together is definitely suspicious, and the grammar only adds to that.

No, Austronesians in Mainland China began to evolve into Kra-Dai speakers, mixing with inland Austroasiatic-Hmong speakers. Fujian region was probably mostly Austroasiatic (Min) by 500 AD. Possibly Kra-Dai speaking tribes preserved many Austronesian customs, according to Chinese records on Wu (Old Chinese: Ngwaa) and Yue (Old Chinese: Gwat) peoples. While Wu and Yue eventually assimilated into Sinosphere culture, Yue tribes continued to live in Zhejiang until much later. The Yue state was also known for superb sailing technology, the only Sinosphere state with a navy which it used to attack the nothern state of Qi in modern Shandong.

a lingua franca of a language family is hard to make, it is doable but synonyms are the problems, one concept usually has synonyms across the sub group so to learn this lingua franca, a speaker needs to learn proto austronesian fully first before speaking it. same thing with modern standard arabic as dialect continuum lingua franca, sino tibetan or sinitic topolects are also challenging.

Most other language families like Semitic, Uralic, or Indo-European seem to have seismic shifts in territory. With Austronesian, we still see that to some extent on the mainlands and larger islands, but on the smaller islands it seems like once a language is entrenched it becomes very difficult to upset it. Makes me wonder if this is a general pattern in the spread of languages. Would we expect a similar pattern to exist in hypothetical worlds, like Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea?

If the Han people did not fled to formosa island, then it would definitely never be "TAIWAN" and the indigenous people of formosa would establish their own nation(country) by mentaining austronesian heritage, culture and language. MANDARIN would never be dominant language in that island for sure.

Taiwan is actually a Siraya / Taivoan word. people would just not think today in modern times that the word "Taiwan" is chinese, but actually an austronesian word. Also, taiwan is likely not the last austronesian homeland. it is just the last that survives. austronesian like in the video likely came from the continent in fujian province area, which is where Austro-Tai split off must've been. the ones who went to taiwan became austronesian groups. the ones that stayed on the continent became Tai-Kra groups and moved westwards.

As far as I'm aware the linking of Tai-Kradai languages and Austronesian ones are still not widely agreed upon among scholars. Perhaps the most important link is the similarity of numbers in Kra-Dai Hlai language to proto-Austronesian ones (other Kra-Dai languages, if I remember well, have borrowed their numbers mainly from Chinese before they were recorded).

@@mareksagrak9527 the Austro-Tai proposal has good standing among scholars, especially the big scholars for Austronesian like Blust and many other scholars for other families that have incorporated the idea in their proposals as well. Soon after some years or so, it will likely be canonized. Tai-Kra family are basically the ones that got tones as they stayed in the continent with the other families that also got tones. They chopped up their roots in favor of the last syllables as monosyllable words, whereas their distant Austronesian cousins that became sea-faring islanders maintained their disyllabic or multisyllabic roots and didnt attain tones as much besides a rare few. Genetic studies also supports this as much of the Austronesian speakers and Tai-Kra speakers have the O1a haplogroup in their Y-chromosome DNA among men, after filtering across other assimilated peoples that also speak languages from these families. Something to ponder about with words as well. The reconstructed word for "fire" in all the major language families of East and Southeast Asia end up having very similar-sounding words.

Some Coastal Papuans are Austronesians. They were colonizing Papua only on coastland, and those Austronesians mixed with indigenous Melanesians. Some of these people are Biak tribe. Australia was unattractive land for Austronesians. North Australia is arid steppe and desert, coconut can not grow. West Australia is pure desert. And East Australia, although it's fertile but there is Great Barrier Reef. South Australia is so far away from Austronesian main sailing route. Only New Zealand was controlled by Maoris.

Seein this animation, I think that some Proto-Austronesian tribes could have gone northwards to the Japanese archipelago via Ryukyu islands. So, when Yayoi peoples arrived, they would find Proto-Austronesian tribes already established. That makes me think that some peculiarities of the Japanese language and culture even can be due to Proto-Austronesian influence.

What causes the brief withdrawal from Madagascar's northern and western tips from 700 to 900? Anyways, fascinating video, this is a language family that has done well for itself.
