Can Americans Identify These Asian Languages?

Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Hmong are just some of the thousands of Asian languages in the world. How many of these can the average Americans identify?

The fact that the Thai woman used Lisa as a hint to help the woman recognize her country is really heart warming

Alright. Now you should do Asian Americans guessing Asian languages. And then ship me over to do this pls! I got almost all of them. But the pressure would be fun! 😂

As an asian american, knew every single one without even understanding the words. The dialect pronunciation is the best way to distinguished them if you heard of them before.
The reason why hmong is a bit harder for others is because it's a smaller population with less developed of a language than the rest and not many know who they are, but love their poetic tongue dialect!

Movies and dramas comes a long way.

Asian phoentics are super easy to identify once you learned them lol. Each language has its own sorta signature sound/ quality about it

Fun Fact:
The guy that told the Filipino girl, "This is a very beautiful language, its flown like a river", He's actually right! PHILIPPINES' official languages are English and Tagalog. Tagalog is derived from Taga-ilog or from the river/someone living by the river.

- As a Hmong person I don't ever see any representation of my culture or language in many of these Asian theme videos because we're often forgotten. But I'm so pleased and happy to find that we've been represented in here! This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of representation and it makes me very happy <3

the only one i knew right from the bat was Tagalog bc some words are like Spanish, us Latinos and Filipinos are like cousins in language 💜

I think what added to the beauty of the Filipino one was that she used really deep and beautiful Tagalog. You will not hear anyone use words like "aking giliw" anymore so when you hear it it sounds like actual poetry. Thank you keeping our heritage alive and learning the deeper worrds, Aurea.

I am Hmong and I would always watch videos similar to this, and I didn't expect a Hmong person to be in a video like this! This has actually been my first time seeing someone that speaks Hmong in a video. I am loving this video! She looks so pretty too!! 🤩

[Tamara-julh]

I got Thailand correct right away because of the greeting - and the sentence endings! Yay I'm proud of myself.

[dondog]

Asia is completely diverse and huge, as an asian myself from the southeast, i wish to visit some of the countries

[brianlittrell]

The Cantonese sounded so beautiful. I would have liked to hear them speak a little longer to more hear what each language sounds like.

As a Hmong women, I am so happy that a Hmong person is in here! I have always watched these videos and had always wished there was a Hmong person!!

"do you wanna eat ramyeon?" LMAOOO NOT THE FLIRTING this was fun to watch :) i only got the korean, mandarin, cantonese, tagalog, thai, and japanese correct since i watch a lot of asian series/movies and have been around ppl who speak tagalog. i really love learning about different languages and the way they flow so lovely. and the way she mentioned lisa from bp was endearing, like lisa is their icon <3 i'd like to learn about the other languages such as hmong and filipino! there's not much exposure or they're unfortunately not talked about enough :(

I was expecting Indonesian, Vietnamese or Khmai there near the end, but Hmong was a very pleasant surprise! My understanding is there are less native speakers than many other languages in SE Asia, and I imagine most Americans haven't heard of it before so showcasing it even for a little bit was really cool.

[powerpuffever]

The only one I wouldn’t have gotten would be Hmong. I grew up within a large mixed Vietnamese and Pilipino community so Tagalog would at least be familiar. I’m definitely used to hearing the “popular” (I mean popular for language learners) East Asian languages because of kpop and c-dramas and anime and, as the Thai woman at the start said, Lisa from Blackpink (and other Thai kpop idols). Cantonese would have probably tripped me up but you can recognize her saying Hong Kong so that would have been the give away. Hmong was definitely a different sound than I’m used to so I’m happy they shared that with us

[JaiYaj]

I didn’t expect there to be a hmong person being featured in these kind of videos since we aren’t really well known, but this took me by surprise😭 thank you so much for including the Hmong community in this video💜

[ericpurcell]

It’s awesome that you included Hmong! You should do another video with more Asian languages that aren’t from East or Southeast Asia! Kazakh, Mongolian, Tamil, Nepali, etc

[hieveryone]

Happy to see cantonese in the video :)
Im from Hong Kong too, and its fun watching the people guess
