Hello and welcome to The Milu Project, on this channel we explore some of our planet's most unique and beautiful languages, both ancient and modern, aswell as theoretical and applied linguistics, conlanging and xenlanging. And occasionally we might do some worldbuilding to set the stage for some of our linguistic experiments. So join us on our journey to make linguistic knowledge, fun, informative and accessible to all!

Dude so good at saying the names along with proper spelling it’s uncanny. So nice
I'm all for the general concept of preserving languages, but there's this 'fine line' that you mentioned that I'd like to expand upon - after all, what does this "language preservation effort" actually consist of? Is it forcing schoolchildren to learn a language that's spoken by a few thousand people? To me this always seemed super-condescending, like "we know better and will tell everyone what to do", after all, if I were a kid and had the choice of learning a language spoken by my grandmother and 100 other dudes or, for example, improving my english skills, learning japanese or just playing call of duty/browsing tiktok, I would find it oppressive to be forced into spending hundreds of hours doing something I don't want- should people also be made to wear special costumes and perform cultural dances just so westerners can feel a sense of accomplishment? After all, if they WANT to do it there shouldn't be an issue and they can do it themselves.
Title felt a bit misleading but otherwise it was a surprisingly good video from a seemingly obscure channel. I'm not that much of a linguistics nerd but I enjoy bite sized content like this. Subbed, keep up the good word.
what an interesting cultural phenomenon! love the video
"WE WUZ ROMANS"
On a technicality, Haitian-Creole is a language that could be considered African romance based on its origins. It's bit of a stretch though.
The PORTUGUESE fixed it in the 15th century. 😅😅
Très intéressant, beau travail ! Merci
Pov : when you’re converging cultures in ck3
Does French count?
No
Rostrum also evolved to mean face in Spanish! In Spanish, the word "rostro" is used fairly commonly to mean face. Of course, cara is used far far more often.
Very nice video! You just got a new follower! I wish you fast growth and good feedback!
I really wish my two sons were a little bit like you. they only care about (euro) football...
what incredible research! you just earned a sub. love from somalia 🇸🇴
What if I told you that the "romance" languages didn't come from Latin 🤔
“Romance” refers exclusively to African intercourse with other places. That’s what it really means. That’s why people still argue about the pathology of it. Some people stole from someone and then claimed that they were actually an expert.
Yes there was and there was also an African Germanic language when the Vandals migrated there.
In Portuguese, “rostro” still means face.
This is a really really good video. It's tragic to think about the loss of so much of human culture...
Holy cow, how do you only have 2.5k subs? This video is an incredible look into these lingustics
Others languages not being able to romance the peoples they like......... sad
God made all people from one man, Adam. All people are brothers. Unfortunately, the lying and corrupt clergy is silent about this. They even bless racists and nazis in the name of God. The problem is that the Devil rules the world. He is a liar and a murderer. This is why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why people cry over stray cats and hate their brothers. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we have the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Jehovah will put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will rise and we will meet our loved ones again! :-)
Thank you!
love the video! i would love it if you could put source citations and references in the description of your video. thank you for the effort you put into this!
Amazing vide, I really enjoyed your the pronounciations of latin words!
I really liked this video. I think about this topic a lot because growing up my parents never bothered to teach me my mother tounge.and when I think about that it somewhat worries me because it feels like I've lost a part of the history of the people that preceded me and if I end up having my own children they too will end up not having that connection to their ancestors and that saddens me
Exactly. My ancestors are from India and spoke a small regional language called Tulu, however my parents did not teach it to me. I’m trying to learn it now using online sources, however because it is a small language, it is very difficult.
If you’re interested in “impossible languages” that actually exist, check out [Southern/Heritage] Michif. It’s an intertwined language of French and Cree that breaks a lot of supposed rules for language mixing
love me some African history.
Great video
yo this is mindblowing especially about the way arabic percolated into north africa slowly
My theory is that it dissappeared in the islamic conquests, the same almost happened to the iberian romace languages, latin grew stale and restrictive, meanwhile arabic was new fluid and exciting, only reason that iberian romance languages survived is because of Asturias
I learned new things today. Thanks!
as always, a lovely video
Best language channel out there! Thanks for your work!
Keep posting! Loving the quality. Looking forward to watching this channel grow!
Thank you, I really appreciate the support! 🙏
The fundation of Sardinian, Napoletan, Sicilian, Calabrese and Corsican were based of African latin. That influence is also languagea from Liguria, which have that in between settentrionale - meridionale feel to it.
Yes, it's called French.
Haha absolutely not
I'm glad I found this channel... Especially being the language geek that I am.
I quite enjoyed this, thanks! Subscribed.
I don't even have to watch this to know the answer is yes. People were still speaking some form of Latin into the 700s AD, so of course it existed. For me the better question is, why isn't there one today? That's where all the exciting history always is for me.
That was informative, can you give the list of your sources in the description? :D Of course I'm going to subscribe to your channel, that goes without saying.
I like to call it "Afromanian".
It would have bin cool if a north african language maybe named ifriqiya existed. With berber based arabised pronounciation.
North Africans are as African as modern Jews are Jews 😂. Same thing they did to Palestine Arabs did to North Africa.
Thank you. This is a very informative video you made. In addition to the list you provided near the end of your video, I might also add that Latin extensively influenced the agricultural corpus of the Berber languages. In Kabyle, for example, there are the following words: - iger “plowed and sown field” < Latin ager “field, farm” - urti ”orchard (especially of fig-trees)” < Late Latin (h)ortus - kkal “[to curdle]” < Romance *kagl- < Latin coagulate It is so extensive that many Berberists and other Afro-Asiaticists state that Berber’s lineage had a rather late familiarization with agriculture (it seems like a form of hunting and gathering persisted for a while), only revolutionizing after the introduction of Latin and the associated Romans’ plow agriculture method to North Africa.
How come the second most spoken romance language in the world is left out? Is this a joke?
Bros Latin pronunciation is perfect
Sardinian here, as you said we are the closest living relatives to african romance, we have the same vocalism and a strong betacism, we still use the periphrastic future formed by habeo + pp (deo apo a amare : I'll love), and as I read, we shared some terms like spanu, a red-brownish colour , and acina, grape, unused elsewhere. Fun fact, the Milky Way in berber and sardinian languages have the same name (if translated) : the hay way
Is Maltese like this too?
@@thangamrajini8478 afaik Maltese is a semitic language, with a lot of loanwords came from Sicilian and Italian
