The Languages of Siberia - OLD (bad audio)

One of the world's least populous areas is actually home to about forty languages from over ten language families.

~ Briefly ~

A journey through Siberia's languages, including large families and "Paleo-Siberian" languages. Come meet the many families of Siberia, from Turkic to Yupik to Yeniseian to Nivkh.

Anyone else only getting audio in one ear?

Fewest languages per km² – what a superlative! Ok, so far we've spent 2020 in northeast Asia, but next time...

[cynicalcenobia]

A separate video on Uralic languages would be much appreciated! Great video!

I can speak Mongolian, Turkic-Altai, Russian and English

I was just about to complain about the audio....then I got soothed by this guys voice inside my right ear.

There's a sort of scientific-espionage novel, Kolmysky Heights, which is concerned in large part with the languages of Siberia. Especially Ainu and Chukchi.

It was odd to see so many familiar names in this video.

two languages i would love coverage of is the japonic narada, its almost a polar phonetic opposite to standard japanese
and of course, the king of no vowels, nuxalk

Ahhhh you're my favorite YouTuber man. I freak out every time I get the new vid notification and rush to watch it immediately.

I can chatter my teeth in 40 Siberian languages.

[HaHa-vyot]

Wow so weird, I’m from Siberia and I didn’t know about many of those languages

[jakubkuberski]

My left ear enjoyed it.

For real, it's a good video

[conroads]

I'm not an audio geek and i'll watch the "bad version" and hear no difference

[nerysghemor]

Cool, I was wanting to see where the connection between the Siberian and Native American/First Nations languages!!

Man your videos always leave me wanting more, more and more. And I mean that in the best way possible.

I appreciate your consistency in tone and animation with patron-voted content, but this feels like it wanders too much. So much of what is captivating from your videos, at least to me and the friends I share them with, is the root stories they center around, based in history and culture. These foci help make linguistic concepts feel a lot more personable than how a book would present them. This video felt breezy in that it talked about a lot of things, but said very little about them, like the fly-through mention of Yiddish in the region. I love the channel and have been following for years. Don’t want to bash, and I can’t imagine the amount of voices and interests you’re trying to please - we stan this channel so hard, I have seen how great your videos can be.

It's always very interesting to hear something new about the familiar things (I'm from Russia myself). Thank you for your videos!

Long ago, I dropped Ket in a topic suggestion for the channel. I'm thrilled to see it mentioned in a video!

[ArtanisOwns]

my left ear really enjoyed this video!

For iPhone users, you can turn on mono audio in accessibility-audio/visual settings

Hey I loved your video man!! FYI in Farsi we do have the voiced and voiceless alveolar trill but I guess for us they are considered allophones. So we don’t hear the difference when we speak.
