Interesting video! I am from Ukraine but speak Rusyn language (NOT Russian) which is minority language here. Its interesting to learn about Galician and how similar the situation is with my native language as well in our small regions.
La idioma oficial de mi país es irlandés, una lengua gaélica. Pero la lengua mayoritaria es inglés (el hiberno-inglés). Me encanta hablar irlandés, pero también el inglés, habla un poco de alemán y francés y estoy aprendiendo castellano. Me encanta el español.
Vivo en Suiza. Allí tenemos 4 idiomas nacionales: El Alemán, el Francés, el Italiano y el Rumantsch. Yo vivo en el lado Alemán de Suiza. Allí se hablan dos dialectos diferentes del Alemán: El Alemán estandar y el Suizo Alemán. Mucha gente de Alemania no entiende el Suizo Alemán porqué es bastante diferente del Alemán estandar.
Soy brasileños y nicaragüense yo crecí con los dos idiomas en casa y al escuchar la comparación se se parece mucho al portugués pero como que le falta la chispa que lo hace que suene un poco como ruso. El gallego suena más seco con menos entonaciones nasales se parece a como yo hablo el portugués algunas veces por la influencia que también tiene el español en mi
Hello! I really LOVED your video! I was born in the US but my mom was from Madrid. My grandpa was Gallego and my grandmother was Vasca! I grew up in Barcelona and actually learned Castellano before I learned English. When Franco died, my grandparents wanted nothing to do with Barcelona anymore because they knew the Catalan language and heritage would return and my grandparents were staunch supporters of Franco and sold their condo near the Tibidabo subway station they had for many, many years. I went to the American School in Barcelona and we moved to Washington DC when Franco died and my grandparents moved to Madrid. I asked my grandpa about the language in Galicia, where he was from. He spoke the language but didn't want to teach me. Same with my grandma and Vasco. She knew but wouldn't teach me. When I told them I wanted to learn the Catalan language, they almost disowned me! 😢 My mom explained to me that they were old and to them only 3 things were important; Spain, Franco and God... not necessarily in that order. In the 90s, flew from DC to Madrid to visit my grandparents, but I didn't tell them I was going by train to Barcelona from Madrid first. I had many fond childhood memories of Barcelona. I still am very fluent en Spanish language but in Barcelona when I went to stores and for example asked "cuanto cuesta esto?" they would pretend they didn't know Spanish and ignore me. I thought that was a bit too much for them to act that way. I obviously looked American, and I felt this is Spain. It's ok to be proud of being Catalan, but don't turn your back on a sale because of that pride. I left without buying anything. Anyway, I did not know there was a connection between Gallego and Portugues. That was cool and I wondered if that was why my grandpa would always shut me down when I asked. Anyway, thank you very much! 😊I learned a great deal with your video! I have subscribed and am gonna check our your other videos! By the way, I love your Castilian! Pure Madrid it seems! Bale and bosotros instead of vale and vosotros! LOVE IT!!! ❤

@nicolascedresalonso1220 It was all repressed officially. Basque especially lol. One of my aunts knew how to speak Catalan. I was a kid and wasn't all into the political situations, just a kid trying to have fun. But I always liked learning especially different languages. My mom knew German very well, because she went to a German school in Barcelona in the 40s. Probably because my grandpa thought it was possible H was going to take over. I was about 12 years old and asked her to help. She said she'd forgotten it. I didn't believe it. So I checked-out a German translation book from the library and tried to learn by myself. Impossible, I know, but I wanted to try. Nothing about WW2 and especially the Holocaust was studied or touched on until I got to junior high school. Then I understood why she wouldn't.

I speak French... but my native tongue is a kind of French Creole spoken in the South of New Brunswick (Canada) and in the Acadian Peninsula. We call it "Chiac" or "Acadian". It is neither tought in school or a written language. It is a language of the people and there is a lot of history and emotions around the topic. It has an English syntax. It is a mix of French, old French and English. You would enjoy it. :) Thank you so much for the interesting videos. Keep up the good work 👌

My girlfriend is as much of a Galician native speaker as I am but she comes from a town about 50km away from me. One day she came to my parents' home to help us harvesting potatoes. They come in two colors: yellow and red, which are stored separately. When she asked which potatoes she should pick, she was told to pick just the "rubias". "Rubia" is the Spanish word for "blonde", so she started to collect yellow potatoes. Makes sense, right? Wrong! The yellow potatoes are called "brancas" (white). "Rubia" means "red".

Yes, even if linguistically it may be closer to Portuguese, modern Galician pronunciation sounds very similar to Spanish. Many speakers may also be using many Spanish loanwords too, but this is just a guess.

Yeah idk why that is (even brasilians have difficulty understanding our portuguese) however the reverse does not happen, monolingual portuguese understand both spanish and galician comfortably. So yeah, both languages are very close, specially galician, however our accent might be the reason why spanish people and brasilians have a hard time understanding us back.

The speaker in the Galician video is also not a native speaker. If you go to watch the original video on Wikitongues, he explains that he learned Galician as an adult native Spanish speaker. But regardless, Galician pronunciation is closer to Spanish, and Galician has naturally become Castilianized and lost some of its genuineness over time. The structure and vocabulary are much, much closer to Portuguese than Spanish.

Not exactly historical in terms of almost extinct language or something, but in the south of Slovakia lots of people also speak Hungarian as their native language. It's because historically until WW1 this region of Europe used to be one monarchy. It was then divived and newly created countries' borders have not always reflected the languages spoken in the areas. In the North Eastern Slovakia some are speakers of Rusyn/Ruthene language as well, a language without its own country. And last but not least the Gypsies here speak their own languages as well.

I would add that historically there were also very specific dialects of German spoken (now very few people speak it). Not to mention all the dialects of Slovak, that can be extremely different from each other and one could consider them different languages (e.g. western dialect from Zahorie compared to eastern dialects)

Hola Gonzalo. Son datos de Wikipedia basados en encuestas a la población, pero no sé cómo de fiables son. La verdad es que me pareció raro.
Coñezo a algún galego e estou de acordo con vostedes en que é máis semelhe co portugués que co castelán 😁
Esta es una pequeña lista con errores y ambigüedades históricas del vídeo, además de una serie de apuntes a respecto de la lengua y sus prejuicios lingüísticos. Número 1: el gallego comenzó a divergir del portugués (y no mucho) desde el siglo XV, cuando las fronteras políticas comenzaron a ser efectivas en el ámbito lingüístico (alejamiento de palabras y sobre todo fonético) Número 2: en tal caso, Galicia comenzó a formar parte de Castilla, no de España. La concepción de España como país no estaba ni siquiera establecida en esos tiempos; la de reino y corona sí. Galicia era reino pero formaba parte de la corona castellana, como también lo hizo Portugal con la antigua corona leonesa. Número 3: el gallego (galego-portugués) lo hablaba todo el pueblo, incluyendo reyes y clérigos, así que lengua que la hablaba gente pobre y maleducada no era. Número 4: la lengua gallega comienza a ser oficial en Galicia desde 1981 gracias al Estatuto de Autonomía de Galicia. En 1936 comienza la guerra civil española que supone otra marginalización hacia el gallego por parte de los poderes sublevados posteriormente fascistas. El gallego ya estaba reprimido y mal visto desde que se separó Galicia de Portugal. Apuntes. -Tanto xogo como jogo, dialectalmente en Galicia se pronuncian como en portugués padrón, pero solo al sur. En el resto de Galicia se pronuncia como una fricativa palatal sorda en vez de sonora. Pronunciarlo como llogo, iogo o yogo está mal en cualquiera de los casos. -En la TVG se habla exclusivamente el gallego, es como lengua vehicular. Ahora bien, cuando preguntan a gente de la calle, pueden responder en la lengua de preferencia o en la que se vean más cómodos. En ciudades es posiblemente más común que se responda en castellano aunque no es siempre así. -En Galicia, salvo asignaturas como Lingua Galega, el resto pese a la legislación y en ciudades se tiende a darlas en castellano. En ciudades se usa mayormente el castellano para todo, salvo que el tutor o el alumnado sea galegofalante, que por respeto se habla en gallego (o no).

I wonder what region(s) of Spain immigrants of the Canary Islands came from? Their Spanish is very unique sounding. It's where the Cuban Spanish that me and my family originated from. I'd guess Galicia
@Krka1716

It is often said that Canary Islands Spanish resembles that of the south of Spain or the Spanish of the Americas. I have been told that they keep using expressions and loanwords derived from Old Portuguese (like 'mollo' - 'sauce'). The Canary Islands were disputed by the Portuguese and Castilians, (between the early 1300s and late 1400s, until the Tordesillas Treaty). There were also some settlers of portuguese origin....
¡Muy interesante!
Pero si portugués y gallego comienzan a divergir al final del "portugués arcaico" y "pre classico" (Vasconcelos & Vázquez Cuesta). Es decir, finales del siglo XVI, ~1575 adelante. Y no lo hacen siguiendo una supuesta frontera gallega ni portuguesa (vamos, no habría ni un supuesto gallego, ni un supuesto portugués, habría un dialecto el Lisboa -Coimbra, otro en Porto, otro en Braga-Tui, otro en la zona de la tierra de Santiago (Rias Baixas y Fosa de Padrón), etc etc.). De donde sale la teoría q le ha dado a algunos, de dividir gallego y portugués, en plena etapa formativa (formativa del registro escrito), de acuerdo con fronteras contemporáneas, de verdad. Decir que divergen en el siglo XII es una salvajada de campeonato. El primer texto integramente escrito en gallego es de finales de ese siglo "Ja faz as suas host'o Senhor de Navarra" (al menoa el primero conocido hasta hace un par de años, no se si ahora es una carta foral). De hecho en las cartas lingüísticas del XIX, el gallego no existe, es portugués, a ojos de todos los antropólogos que las hacen.

Frisian is an Ingvaeonic (North Sea Germanic) language of the western Germanic family, along with English, low German and a couple dialects spoken in Denmark. It's spoken in both Holland and Germany. There are also Saxon dialects in Holland, in the eastern provinces, Groningen, Gelderland, Drenthe, like Achterhoeks, that also belong to the North Sea family
En mi país hay muchos dialectos, algunos de los cuales son difícilmente comprensibles para hablantes de otros dialectos. Hay también 4 idiómas minoritarias oficialmente reconocidas: El danés, el frisón, el sorabo, y el romaní. ¿Sabéis de cual país estoy hablando?

Today I tried to make friends with some people online who were from Mexico and Columbia but i couldnt understand what they were saying :(. Im kinda stuck now and dont know if i should move on to the advanced videos yet because it seems like they're all conversations with people you interview or have on and I can barely understand what two people talking in your intermediate videos are saying. Its not that the language is too fast its just hard to focus on both and keep track of the conversation...
