Basic Vocabulary in Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan

Some simple words reconstructed from Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan, the ancestor of the... well, Chukotkan and Kamchatkan languages of the indigenous Siberians. A very arctic language from the peeps who killed the last mammoths four thousand years ago.

I just want to say thank for keeping this amazing and rare content coming regularly. ABAlphaBeta is truly an incredible historical channel.

[ICULooking]

That region along with Ancient Alaska and Northern Mongolia are so interesting. How enlightening would it be to see and hear the events surrounding the people's mass migration..

[kobovad]

Oh hell yeah, I love how you keep covering nicher content everyday, I'd love to see more Native/Siberian/Arboriginal videos!

Edit: Tiny nitpick though, the white text can be hard to read sometimes

[Artur_M.]

The description is the best "A very arctic language from the peeps who killed the last mammoths four thousand years ago". ;)
I assume that now you'll do all the other language families of Syberia, Sakhalin, the Urals, and probably the Caucasus while you at it. No biggie. :)
Seriously though it's great that you bring attention to the indigenous peoples of the faraway regions of Russia. Many people likely didn't even hear about them.

At a certain point even I have to admit certain linguistic topics are too obscure for me to ever hope to know anything about them

Incredible. Love the culturally relevant imagery. This feels like Lesson 1 of a very good language course. :D

Quite interesting there with 'iməl and korean 물 ( mul ) A common ancestor that the two forked off from eachother several thousands of years ago or sprachbund convergent? We may never know.

[Vininn]

My one gripe was that some of the white text was really hard to read on the white backgrounds.

[CaramidaDeCasa]

Are these language related to any others(other than maybe manchurian)

[joonavuoristo]

Ah, Altai Kai in the background. <3
Hmm is that "junjjunj" onomatopoetic?

[enricmm]

WHAT?! I never thought you'd be covering this proto-language. At nearly every video you outdo yourself.

[marcello]

Finally a channel that covers these languages.

[elsakristina]

Just think: if they'd have traveled just that little bit further, Chukchi, Koryak, Itelmen, etc. would also probably be being spoken as Indigenous languages in Alaska and Canada as well as in Russia.
