🇬🇧 Guys, I apologise for using the map that shows the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia. At the time of making the video, I just took a random pic from google and was like ok it works. Sorry! Glory to Ukraine!

🇺🇦 Друзі, я перепрошую за використання мапи, де окуповані українські території показані як російські. Коли я робив це відео, я просто взяв випадкове зображення з ґуґлу і вирішив, що воно цілком норм. Вибачте! Слава Україні!

I confused myself with Portuguese and Russian yet I guessed Navajo correctly lol. Also I only knew it was Icelandic because they said Iceland mid sentence.

[ybdjogn]

Guessed 4 out of them, but could define language families of like 3 or 4 of them.

Okay, I'm a native Spanish speaker. I got tipsy and decided to do this. After Japanese, I got dissociated thinking about other things, then I remembered to pay attention when the second person was about to finish speaking. And from the half a second I actually heard, I thought RUSSIAN. I saw the answer and I was flabbergasted. I always heard people say that Portuguese sounds like a Russian trying to speak Spanish but never understood, to me Portuguese was just Portuguese. I can't say I don't get it now hahahaha second time I heard it I understood everything but I had an epiphany hahahaha

[tulgatseg]

I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Vietnamese, but after was total lapsus memoriae. Icelandic sounds like Swedish or Danish, Czech like Serbian or Croatian, Tuvan like Kazakh or Uighur, Punjabi like Hindi, Yiddish like one of German dialects, Kurdish like Persian, Navajo like Tibetan. Haha

[bongiwelanga]

I struggle to guess exact languages but I can accurately point out the region where the language is spoken when I hear to

[SumitPalTube]

Most neutral sounding Japanese ever. I was expecting some more stress on vowels as I have heard in Anime.

[masonfremlin]

I only got one answer right which is Japanese and I do speak Japanese 🇯🇵

[geuorgispasov]

Guessed the Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, I have talked to a Czech and I can even understand a big part of the words but I didn't manage to guess it except the language family of course, I guessed the language family of Icelandic and Kurdish too, thought that Yiddish sounds so German but not German

[masoud]

1. Japanese (Correct). I know a little Japanese and it's very easy for me to understand.
2. Russian (Wrong, Portuguese). It looked a lot like Russian to me and that's why I made mistake.
3. Russian (Correct). I just guessed right.
4. A European language (half right 😄, Hungarian). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was.
5. Thai (Wrong, Vietnamese). The tone of speaking of Southeast Asian countries is very similar.
5. A European language (half right, Czech). From the tone of their speech, I understood that it was for Europe, but I didn't understand which language it was.
6. Nothing (Wrong, Icelandic). I couldn't recognize it at all.
7. Kurdish (Correct). I'm from Iran and many of my compatriots are Kurds. That's why I recognized it easily.
8. Hebrew (Wrong, Yiddish). I know that these two languages aren't directly related to each other, but they seem to be a little similar.
9. Hindi or Urdu (Wrong, Punjabi). They are very similar.
10. Turkey's Turkish (Half right, Tuvan). It's a language of the Turkic language family, but it's not a well-known language. Just from it tone and words, I thought it was Turkey's Turkish.
11. A Native American language (Half right). I had previously seen some videos about Native American languages, so I understood that this language belongs there, but I didn't know which language it is.

[mr_zn]

okay, so here's my attempt (SPOILER WARNING):

1. japanese (CORRECT) - it's just sooo recognizable, there was no way it was something else
2. polish (WRONG - portuguese) - idk the way the reporter said certain constonants sorta reminded me of that
3. russian (CORRECT) - also pretty recognizable
4. hungarian (CORRECT) - guessed it INSTANTLY cuz I'm a native lol
5. thai (WRONG - vietnamese) - basically it was a 50/50 between thai and vietnamese, should've went with my gut feeling
6. czech (CORRECT) - we were definitely in the central european area, and it didn't sounded like polish, so it was either czech or slovakian, but mid-sentence I've just heard "ano" and "dobry den" and I was like "yup, czech for sure!"
7. icelandic (CORRECT) - gotta admit the first reason I've guessed that is because I've heard "icelandic lava" lol, but in my defense, it also sounded like if you were to mix norwegian and celtic together
8. yoruba (WRONG - kurdish) - i was way off...
9. yiddish (CORRECT) - it absolutely sounded like old german with a jewish accent, so it had to be that
10. urdu (WRONG - punjabi) - we were definitely on the hindustani area with this one... but there are a lot of languages in that area, and it wasn't hindi for sure cuz it would've been too obvious, well... it wasn't hindi, or urdu
11. armenian (WRONG - tuvan) - I really heard some russian and some turkic influence in it so I was like "somewhere in the caucasus"
12. ainu (WRONG - navajo) - That one was really hard for me, and I've really had no idea what it could've been

[martintuma]

04 Hungarian - correct (my mothertongue)
05 Vietnamise - correct (sounds like ding-dong-king-kong)

07 Icelandic - correct (Beacuse of the 3 stars I was also thinking of Faroese)
08 Afghan? - incorrect (I caught the word 'talabani')
09 Dutch - incorrect (a lot of German words but clearly not German)
10 Hindi - incorrect (I knew it was an Indian language)
11 ???
12 ???

[Steve-mgtc]

My home town has some of the most Navajo speakers in the US, so I got that one right, but it is a struggling language because the young people aren’t learning it and the old people who speak it are dying.

[turkistan]

Tuvan sounded alot like Türkish man you got me there😂

[liamdavis]

I got Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Kurdish, Yiddish, and Navajo. I knew Punjabi was South Asian but guessed Rajasthani when the guy mentioned Rajasthan. I also knew Tuvan was Turkic but ended up guessing Uighur. Funny enough I got Hungarian way wrong. I guessed it was a weird Armenian dialect or a member of one of the Caucasian language families lol

[selladore]

score: 5/12

1) Japanese 2) Romanian (Portuguese) 3) Russian 4) Estonian (Hungarian) 5) Vietnamese 6) Czech 7) Icelandic 8) Persian (Kurdish) 9) Danish (Yiddish) 10) Hindi (Punjabi) 11) Kyrgyz (Tuvan) 12) ?? (Navajo)

[ptyynfi]

-I speak Persian, Swedish, English and a little French +learning italian

[ayse-pxmz]

Wow, Hungarian sounds very Asian. I thought it was Mongolian or kazakh and I thought Portuguese was a South Slavic language, it's like a mixture of Latin and Slavic.
