There's a sort of scientific-espionage novel, Kolmysky Heights, which is concerned in large part with the languages of Siberia. Especially Ainu and Chukchi. It was odd to see so many familiar names in this video.

I appreciate your consistency in tone and animation with patron-voted content, but this feels like it wanders too much. So much of what is captivating from your videos, at least to me and the friends I share them with, is the root stories they center around, based in history and culture. These foci help make linguistic concepts feel a lot more personable than how a book would present them. This video felt breezy in that it talked about a lot of things, but said very little about them, like the fly-through mention of Yiddish in the region. I love the channel and have been following for years. Don’t want to bash, and I can’t imagine the amount of voices and interests you’re trying to please - we stan this channel so hard, I have seen how great your videos can be.
Love these videos.
two languages i would love coverage of is the japonic narada, its almost a polar phonetic opposite to standard japanese and of course, the king of no vowels, nuxalk
It's always very interesting to hear something new about the familiar things (I'm from Russia myself). Thank you for your videos!
Your bear drawing is very cute :3
Hey I loved your video man!! FYI in Farsi we do have the voiced and voiceless alveolar trill but I guess for us they are considered allophones. So we don’t hear the difference when we speak.
Great video! Really interesting. It would be cool if you did a video like this about the languages of Alaska.
Wouldn’t mind learning even more about this area. Oh. And if you have energy and interest. A similar overview of Papua New Guinea. Love every video you make. Stay safe and never stop this channel ;)
I was just about to complain about the audio....then I got soothed by this guys voice inside my right ear.

Hey nativlang pretty good job. Since you have already done a video on doric descended tsakonian dialect in greece, you might consider doing a video on cypriot greek, which retains many grammatical features, vocabulary and phonology from homeric greek. 🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾
Hey NativLang, would you ever consider an episode going in depth on Latin and Ancient Greek?

Have you considered starting a podcast or releasing simpler KZread videos? I think that would be very interesting and garner much support. For me at least, the most interesting parts of your videos are not the animations (which are admittedly very good), but your ideas and thoughts surrounding languages.
Brilliant and fascinating, as always! I would love to see a video like this on North American native tongues. Lipan Apache and Navajo are spellbinding.

Siberia: also known as the less popular Canada :D But to be honest, siberian languages are really interesting and I have had a look into Tunguscic because I am a Japanologist and I was for a time interested in Altaic hypothesis (and I attended lectures of one of Starostin's coleagues) before I found out that the whole theory kinda leads to nowhere and is really nice but doesn't work very well in practice. But I totally subscribe to the idea that the Yayoi people came from somewhere in Korea/Manchuria so they should count too! :D

However japanese writing is... very creative :D . Yeah, learning languages can be very rewarding, totally go for it, it can certainly be fun and a good challenge.
For those more interested in the Ket connection to the Dene languages in the Americas, i highly recommend looking at more of Dr. Vajda's work and presentations. Having been my advisor in Linguistics for 2 years, I can tell you that it is not pseudo-linguistic BS, it actually has a great deal of evidence behind it, especially in the morphology. Also he is a wonderful human being :D

Hey, I was born in Siberia, I will start my linguistics studies as soon as this position is over. Can you recommend some books or any necks on linguistics to read/watch in the meantime? I will be grateful forever!
I'd love if you could go more in depth on some of the languages.
Where do you learn mayan hierogliphs? I want to learn them too! :)
My left ear enjoyed this
Hopefully these beautiful languages survive despite the harsh odds. It is my dream to help them thrive once more.
Cool!
You should reupload with audio fix!
They fascinate me so much. It honestly makes me wonder just how LONG these people and languages have been there. I know some are a lot older and younger than others though. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of these language families is as old as the last Ice Age.
Siberia is definitely one of the first areas I started to read about when I became a linguistic enthusiast, it's a very underrated region and it's really a shame most of the languages spoken there are at risk of extinction.

Nivkh number system seems to group objects the way that Athabascan languages do for handling verbs. I am curious if Ket does this and if it could be an regional feature that is still maintained in Americas.

I would have guessed that low population density means lots of isolated clusters, hence more opportunities for divergent language evolution.
