As a history student, a heraldry+vexicology enthusiast and a Romanian, I have one remark about representing the găgăuz language with one of the modern interpretations of the medieval flag of Moldavia. It would have been far better to use either the flag of the Republic of Moldova or the one of their autonomous unit, as they have no connection to the period and the people that used it in the Middle Ages for they settled this territory much later. The aurochs is a beloved symbol of the Romanians and especially for the Romanians living in the historical lands of Moldavia.

The aurochs was important enough to Germanic speakers, that it might have gotten its own rune: "Ur", the second in the orderings I know, (Elder, Younger, and Anglo-Saxon). Then again, maybe that rune had a different origin. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur_(rune)

Amazing content, special appreciation for the near-death experiences with the gurgling, yet a couple of small things: Kashubian actually does have some sort of presentable flag (looks like the old Habsburg Austria flag), I am definitely aware that you know that flag you put for gagauz was the Principality of Moldavia, and not the Gagauz flag, and on a final note, for the Walloons, they have a special red rooster, that avoided its head from getting chopped (unlike some neighbours as you said). Other than that, hats off to the Georgian vowel-hate precision lol!

Wikipedia: The Sardinian language (in Sardinian: lingua sarda) is the main language spoken in Sardinia, Italy and is considered to be the most conservative Romance language. Due to this history of the island, which was isolated from the mainland for thousands of years, and only in recent times was it easier to communicate with the mainland, it was possible to maintain certain characteristics of the archaic vulgar Latin language that disappeared in other areas! Also, the Sardinian language has many words that are closer to Romanian (Romania, ancient Dacia ) than to Latin or Italian, although the influence of these two languages on the Sardinians lasted for hundreds of years. Sardinia was colonized by the Sardinians, who migrated, like the Latins from the Danube region. Dacia, was conquered by the Romans in 238 BC, The island would then come under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, Spain, with the Spanish language heavily influencing the language, especially in the administrative realm.

I think I recall that Sicily was the casus belli for the First Punic War, because the Carthaginians were messing around there, challenging the Greek city-states, and Rome came to their defense? Meanwhile we Calabresi were watching from across the Straits of Messina, but then Hannibal came over the Alps and brought the war all the way down to us, and so we have a city called Catanzaro, from the original Castra Hannibalis ("the camp of Hannibal"). None of those people knew that they were crossing modern borders that wouldn't exist for a couple of thousand years yet. But along the way they were creating the languages of Italy!

Ben, thanks for mentioning the Tatar language, which is my mother tongue. You don't usually see youtubers mentioning it in their linguistics-oriented videos You're quite right with the mentioning of the Islamic influence. Tatar is full of Arabic words and phrases, which are used in everyday life. It helps me greatly with my Hebrew studies, since both Arabic and Herbew are semitic languages I study Hebrew for religious reasons. Judaism enlightens me as well as it did you when you decided to convert. However, I find it a bit troublesome to seek proper guidance in the environment I happen to be in - my surroundings are mostly Muslim (I was born in a Muslim Tatar family, although I've never prayed in a mosque ever, and I bear an Arabic name) , Orthodox (Russians) and Atheists. Can you give me an advice on how should I advance my learning of Judaism in a such situation?

Moldavian or Moldovan nowdays is considered romanian but they are different since in moldavian we usually say half of the phrase in romanian (but with some differences in the accent and pronuntiation) and the other half in russian and many other differencies. In summary when a moldavian talks to a romanian the romanian guy will not understand anything.

Due to historical reason Pomerania and Pomerelia changed few time their overlord (Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden etc) and is now Pomerelia is in Poland, while Pomerania is split between Poland and Germany, but all those regions use griffin in their coat of arms, due to House of Griffin (cadet branch of Polish House of Piast) ruling this region for centuries, but use different colours to differentiate the coat of arms, and each flag just takes colours from respective coats of arms. What is the most surprising that those part of Griffin domain that were inside Holy Roman Empire kept the traditional Polish white and red colours, while those that were outside HRE and more connected to Poland went with more German looking black and yellow. :P

Thank you for coming back.

So, Welsh was in the other video right? There are 3 times as many Scots speakers as there are Welsh speakers. I would say that outside of the UK, both are lesser known languages.

Why the Swiss instead of the Graubünden flag for Romansh? It would be the perfect choice!

@BenLlywelyn I understand. The same could be said for Occitan and France though, and you used the Languedoc flag. Anyway, the main reason I'm bringing this up is because Romansh is an official language of Graubünden.

Of course, you just have to subscribe to videos like that. I like that you something sound like Grand Moff Tarkin. I do that too, but for you it’s obviously native(?) for me it’s just words like “through” for shits and giggles

Good and I like your accent, welsh I suppose. Wallon is french just with few words different and accent like romanian and romanian in the Moldova. It's not a different language.

Occitan is NOT old French.

Upper and Lower Sorbian are closely related, west slavic languages spoken in the regions of Upper and Lower Lusatia, stretching across the German states of Saxony and Brandenburg, as well as the polish Voivodeships of Lower Silesia and Lubusz.

Right. During the 30-year war and the plague, the areas connecting the Sorbs with other Slavic languages were completely emptied and then resettled by Germanics - thus the island situation.

And Sorbian is like Czech, Polish and Slovak got twins, one leaning more towards Polish (G), the other leaning more towards Czech and Slovak (H), and to say "with German sprinkles" would definitely not be enough, it is rather like the German neighbours moved into their house and beat them up several times for speaking Sorbian. Not so much lately. I am being told by Czech and Slovak and Russian speakers that we sound Polish and by Polish speakers that we sound Czech or Slovak - with a heavy German influence.

Surzhik - the lazy combination of Ukrainian and Russian. A mid point of Ukrainisns of being completely Russified. A deliverately made up dialect in hopes that would take over Ukrainian so the Russians can point at it "oh look, it's got Russian words in it, that means you are Russians, and Ukrainian doesn't exist" The sole existance of Surzhik hurts every philologist.

How about Samogitian, Latgalian and maybe Old Prussian?

See my Old Prussian video from a while back.

The word "Walloon" is of Germanic origin, and Léon Degrelle used this to back his claim that Walloons were Germanic. However it descends from Proto-Germanic "*walhaz", which meant "foreigner".
