    Swedish and Norwegian are easier to understand than Danish because of the high pitch. That’s why Danes understand Swedish and Norwegian better than those two can understand Danish.

    The two things that travel the easiest along the trade routes are ideas and disease. The Indians had well developed trade routes that probably caused the disease to arrive before the Europeans. Professor William McNeil in his book Disease and Civilization ,hypothesizes that because of a lack evidence patholgy records and historical records about mosquito born illnesses that things yellow fever and malaria arrived with trade from Africa .He notes for example that despite the hardships of jungle travel they never mentioned any particular illnesses related to mosquito. That might partially explain why Civilizations could flourish in Jungle areas .

    Sorry but i don't buy it! Looking at this video i can tell there wasn't too much research! I've seen a lot of conlangs on reddit with not indo-european structure. Conlangs don't disort how languages work, to be honest making a conlang helped me understand languages more and now it's easier for me to pronouce diffrent words! Conlangs are made by someone of course but for me words sometimes went by itself. Conlang being form of manipulation? For the 1st time i heard something like that-

    Yes! I'm tired of hearing Chinese is number one in everything but the one thing that they really are number 1, which is to be the most ungrateful of friends, the most disloyal and dishonest by being the number one copyright infringer of the world. Are we going to keep pushing the Chinese propaganda forever? Spanish and English are tied for the most widely spoken languages in the world.

    It's so weird how Northern Europeans/UK don't consider Spain to be part of Europe. How can the average American celebrate Columbus Day and not grasp that the Spanish did not have the problems of political instability in England and their colonies didn't fail quite as spectacularly. These tribes andtheir descendants still exist. LoL White people don't know everything desite believing that they are omnipotent and omniscient. So many white Eurocentric Americans discount oral histories and since they don't have distant ancestral ties on the North American continent, they try to seize the historical narrative of people they simply do not have any connection to. Americans are like the sprinkles on top of donuts. Indigenous people are the donut. It's really interesting tha white people are constantly trying to speak over Native people to tell us about ourselves and to pretend they are "authorities" on the subject to other white people. We still exist and will continue to protect our history and data sovereignty. No we don't care if your feelings get hurt. Your history and ancestral lands are across the Atlantic Ocean. The end.

    Interesting! In Turkey we call turkey as Hindi, which is so similar to Hindistan (we call India as Hindistan) and i know its not coming from there, since "Hintli" means Indian. But maybe we call the turkey as "Hindi" due to a translation mistake: we call Indians (Native Americans) as Kızılderili (which literally means those who have red skin or with red skin) but when Spanish explorers find the America and thought it as India, we may also thought that they were Indian and since it was their bird, hence took the word as 'Hindi'. I think the best explanation would be this 🙈

    Turkish moved from Central Asia to the west because Turks moved. This migration took place around 350-800AD because of the Chinese pressure, climate, the dissolution of the Asian Hun Empire, etc.

    Just came across this video looking for something very specific, and I realized that maybe you could help me out? I'm looking for anything on what would happen if you put people who speak different languages in a room, but don't have a lingua franca. I can guess what would happen, but I was wondering if this has been done before. Would you know anything about it?
