    Hi Luke. You don't need an interjection from an internet stranger, but I figured you'd appreciate the dialogue, so: I have an interjection to make. I study international politics and economics. I wrote a paper on why democracies don't go to war with each other, which you touch upon at around 10:30. It's nothing to do with checks and balances. If it were, then we'd see similar slowness apropos war with non-democracies, and we don't, so there must be something else motivating the reduced propensity to war. And "war" is the key term here, because it means something specific: an outright declaration of quasi-'official' war. Everyone notes that inter-democracy "war" is unusual. What's not unusual is simply inter-democracy violence. Democracies actually fight each other all the time. There are countless examples of democracies taking covert action against other democracies, or two democracies supporting two different sides in proxy wars that materially affect the supporting democracies' prosperity. There are also a few examples of democracies being openly belligerent with each other but in a way that doesn't lead to outright war (e.g. the UK-Iceland "Cod Wars"). I concluded in my paper that the reason that democracies don't go to war with each other is, in short, that elected leaders would be thrown out of power if they infringed upon the norm that democracies are countries that embody the ideals of justice and peace. There are a few things to unpack there. First, the notion of stability and peace is key to democracy. Democracies by definition require peaceful transfers of power from one government to the next. If a country ever found itself in a situation where one voter group elected a majoritarian leader that said "right, let's kill the losers", then, the country would cease to be a democracy. Because stability and peace are key to democracies' self-conception, elected leaders have a tough time selling belligerence to electorates. To sell the belligerence, elected leaders have to characterize the country they want to attack as evil and intolerant to the point that they cannot be tolerated. Leaders can't do that with other democracies, because it would be the same as saying "That other country - which exhibits all the norms and values that are key to our self-conception and that we believe render ourselves right and justified - that country deserves our violence because they lack all the norms and values that we ourselves have, and therefore they're evil." It's an impossible situation. If an elected leader were to say that, an electorate would respond, "Wait, what? Why are you putting us at war? This doesn't align with the norms key to democracy: you're not being tolerant or peaceful. If you don't align with our norms, you can't guarantee our safety - either on the international stage, or on the domestic one. Begone with you at the polls." That's why leaders resort to covert attacks (e.g. Mossadegh, Latin America) or proxy wars (quite a few in Africa) or belligerence that never becomes actual war (e.g. the Cod Wars). It's simply hard to sell war to people who vote for you.

    Man, you're good in Ukrainian! I'm Ukrainian and I'm telling you as a native Ukrainian speaker, who knows russian language as well too. About "Surzhyk"(Суржик) it's more like a political term. Surzhyk in origin means a mixed language Ukrainian/Russian, which has no rules, no patterns or phonetics. You can say one word in Ukrainian and the same word in russian in the same sentence, so that is Surzhyk. It was in the russian empire, but now that what people called "Surzhyk" it is not a Surzhyk, because it's a dialect on the left side of Dnipro river. This dialect has rules and phonetically it is the same Ukrainian language, by the way, this dialect includes some Old Slavic words and may contain old Ukrainian pronunciation from the Kyivan Rus' times. If you ever heard about Carpathian-Rusyn language, where people called themselves as Rusyns it has some similarities with the Nothern dialect from the land which is caled Siverchyna, where was a Cossack's capitals (Baturyn, Hluhiv). In the West part of Ukraine there is some dialects that has a Polish words and there no term for that, nut it is still Ukrainian language. There is the city Chortkiv where dialect goes to another level, they has a so unic pronunciation that I have never heard in whole Ukraine. So it is a big expedition in language. I wish you good luck and we are all appreciate ❤️ your work! Stay safe!

    I couldn't care less about Alexander or Ancient Macedonia or any crap from 2000+ years ago, but you forgot to mention the Greek Civil War (ONLY 80 YEARS AGO!) and how they expelled all of the Slavs that populated Macedonia (the region that is currently in Greece) and used force to hellenise the ones that remained (with help from the West). So, the entire region was populated by Slavs, meaning the genes were and still are mixed between ancient local tribes, Slavs and Bulgars. In the Civil war Greece expelled all those people and populated the region with Pontic Greeks, that's why you see all the dark skinned people in this region nowadays (clearly more Asian looking). I mean, they won the war, they had the power to do as they pleased because the West helped them "fight communism", I guess that's "fair" - but, why all of the lies? Why pretend it never happened? Until last century, the entire region was more Bulgarian, Slavic and Turkish than Hellenic. And even nowadays, all the way to Thessaloniki (especially in the villages and smaller towns) you will still find people speaking the same language that is spoken in the predominantly Slavic country of Macedonia and Bulgaria, but more similar to the Macedonian language. So, who cares about the narrative? Who cares to whom this history belongs? That is just a story you keep telling to make the world forget that the region of Macedonia belonged to the Slavic people you forcefully expelled.

    8:25 As a sort of response to this, as somebody who doesn't have a view, is to point to the Vulgate of Jerome. We know that Jerome was a very good Latinist, yet the Vulgate is not exactly idiomatic Latin. This is because St Jerome cared about producing a close, word for word, translation of the texts which he had. I don't see why a hypothetical translator of Mark may start with an Aramaic or Hebrew original, considering these writings sacred, wouldn't attempt to replicate this sort of formal equivalence in his Greek text. We know that this sort of thing happened even prior to Christ. For instance, the Torah portion of the LXX, which was translated in about the 3rd Century BC, I understand attempted something similar.

    Caesar, decem, centum are pronounced with a "ch" in the Latin language because if not then it would be next words in a modern Italian pronounced with a "k" (e.g. Cesare, Cicerone, dieci, cento, celo, etc.), and what about many Italian surnames that are also pronounced with a "ch" (e.g. Lancia, Marcello, Luciani, Manzini, Carlucci, Ceccarelli, Cellario, Cecili, Colucci, Gucci, etc.).

    It is said that Latin is a dead language, but I believe it is not! As we all indirectly including: "Anglo Saxon and all the 5 romance languages prove." The modern English language, has at least 60% of Latin written and spoken. The closest is Italian with a wopping 98%.

    Ranieri … congrats on your analysis about the proto Latin used in the series. I’m a romance speaking dude; who lived in Italy; speak it very good, and also speak Spanish, and Galician (from Galicia Spain, an old romance, and whole language by itself. In fact my name is Fortunato. From what I know language evolves! And it’s been evolving for thousands of years, and I see that you are too much into classical Latin man. And I’ve read and learned a bit on that matter, and also watch your channel as some other channels that specialize in romance linguistics; so there is a very sustained theory made by various romance linguists that demonstrate that proto Latin took two roads. One into classic Latin and then the other into Vulgar Latin; the latter spoken later in founded Rome by the “vulgo”as to say; and Romance languages come to these days mostly from that Vulgar Latin; Not from classical Latin, and that makes more sense to me. I’m not sure that ancient soldiers or the “common people”knew so much about phonetics and there ‘s freedom as to imagine how they spoke; and the writers are doing so. There’s a theory, and it is a fact, that there was a time in which there were no scholars or imposed rules by which the language or any language was spoken; and the italic dialects or proto Latin could’d been a mixture of ancient dialects spoken in the italic peninsulae at the time; even today the Italian ( certain words) are pronounced different from one region to another (different phonetics). The same happens in actual Great Britain, for example; take for instance the Liverpool pronunciation vs. The York pronunciation. There was mixture and a bit of freedom in the pronunciation or phonetics; just imagine!! (No schools). If the writers of the series are Italian and are serious about it,be sure that they made their good research. Besides you’re are only taking in a few words that you think or assure that should be pronounced different .. from a language that is not spoken since 2,500 years ago? It is an imaginative show mostly man, and has to be watched with an open criteria; nobody of the present lived at that time, and I praise that is spoken in proto Latin, or that mixture of pre-Latin ; and must be recognized for its effort; so don’t sweat it. 😅.. let it be. Respect your opinion but don’t share it. Good channel yours. . I’m subscribed. 👍🏻

    Greek, no doubt in my mind. That said, it is fascinating to see the stylistic differences between the apostolic writings, as a result of their influences, linguistic or otherwise. Luke is a great example: in his prologue (Luke 1:1-4) he writes in a very classical style, but the rest of his Gospel is much more indebted to the style of the Septuagint translation. His is the most difficult of the four Gospels to read, for that and other reasons. Thanks for the video. P. S. I was wondering why I hadn't seen any videos from either of your channels lately, but I checked today and it seems that many of them evaded my notifications. I have it set to "All", so I don't know what would cause this. Perhaps others have had the same problem.
