North low saxon is very good spoken, my grandfather spoke it that way. My father can understand it, but can't speak it anymore , funny although it was the only language he could speak before in the days before school.

Such a lovely video! It's so interesting how the different languages and dialects are somewhat similar to German and Dutch but different at the same time! Plus first one here let's go

Very interesting to hear all of these Germanic languages, some of which I was aware of others I only discovered because of this video, please keep up the good work.

beautiful. i gladly help with scanian!

Omg you’re Scanian too haha?

Great , I hope you make another part contains wymysoris , yenish , Belgian German and Thuringian languages

if you make another one of these; you should look into the dialect of the vorarlberg region of austria, its very interesting and quite unlike any other austrian dialect

Please make a video about some "unknown" Romance languages like Norman, Welche, Lorraine or Picard.

Proto-Germanic is very similar to Proto-Slavic, did they Evolve together: like Proto-Italic and Proto-Celtic?

Proto-Baltic is the closest language to Proto-Slavic. This languages evolved together.

possibly because proto-slavic inherited a lot of words from proto-germanic apparently

Because almost all of languages on europe is an indo-european language. (except for finnish, hungarian, which is part of the uralic language family, also basque, turkey which speaks turkish which is a turkic language, and many many more!)

How to say “water” in these languages Bavarian: Wossa/Wåssa/Boßər West Frisian: Wetter N. Low Saxon: Watar? Swiss German: Wasser

As a Dane i can understand Jutish mostly tho i've lived a lot of my life in the south

As a swabian speaker, this example here was very inaccurate.

There is a dialect called ”tjörbu” spoken on the island Tjörn in Bohuslän, Sweden. It is really intresting and really not mutually intellegible with swedish. You should look into it.

Amazing! don't know what language is best. all are beautiful

For Germans: To what extent are German dialects intelligible? Are there some dialects you understand 100% and others hardly anything?

@alan_4766

Жыл бұрын

It dependts from what region you are. As someone from Baden (south west) I could understand 100% of the Alsatian (but it was only a small sample ofc). Also the Swabian and Swiss were simple, but all the Low german variaties are a different language. Also Bavarian is not too lucid. But as a rule of thumb, even from town to town the dialects can differ greatly! If they don't want to be understand, they can make that happen. Not as extreme as in Norway but in the south of germany (including Austria and Switzerland) it can be very wild, and often unintelligible even for people that live in the neighbouring region.

@@Gizmonips I have to agree with Alan_ and wahatafakbro: Virtually everyone speaks High German, even if some people in High German keep a regional accent. Most people can also speak English (a few older generations may be excluded) or at least understand it.

Language is not a determinate nor connected to race. Languages beyond national boundaries expand across multiple phenotypes. Common English is full of Germanic characteristics and words which stem from a much older time just like other languages especially in dialects. Such connection between race and language ought to be avoided especially given the variance in phenotype and the pop-culture understanding of race being more simplified.

English ultimately has the same amount of germanic characteristics. Thematically Dipthongs are something that no other germanic language has kept besides English and or Icelandic, English grammar is germanic, 80% of all everyday spoken words are Germanic. The only thing that isn't Germanic is some pronunciation, and academic words.

As a Dutch person, I literally got nothing from that Frisian hahaha

Bavarian has a strange accent, Alsatian reminds me of Dutch lol

No, it's related to the Alemanis. The Franks were living in a place closer to where Frisian is spoken nowadays. Basically in the Netherlands.

A quick reminder that this are just dialects of German, danish and dutch

Low saxon sound like english speakers. But unintelligible.

Alsaitian sounds like a German who was adopted by French parents
