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

Siberia has two seasons:
The Frozen Solid Season
The Mosquito Season

I’m Russian and your pronunciation of Russian word and names was incredibly good and way better than I could expect from a foreigner

[Cantskatemcd]

The rush you get when Nativlang cites one of your professors

Greetings from Siberia!
I myself native Russian speaker. Unfortunately, living here all life I've never met any native Siberian and as well never heard their language and didn't know anything about them, so your video was very useful for me.
The natives of my region speak Khanty and Mansi language and I was surprised to know that it's the same language family with Hungarian...

That's a cool video
I'am turkic man (hakas) from Siberian mountains of Sayan and I wanna say that you did a good job to give people simple information about small languages of my land
Thank you ☺️

Greetings from Novosibirsk, largest city of Sibiria

As a Hungarian its very painful to see how the Uralic languages (and ofc others) disappear :(

[a_martynovich]

Wow man. I live in Siberia and I've learned so much. Not only you nailed your Russian pronunciation, but also you've managed to pronounce something in Chukotkan! I couldn't help but become your patron.

[gnjc]

Tuvan, altai and khakas are also very important siberian turkic languages. They are official languages.

[MpSniperM]

who still remember their knowledge only in our left ear??

[adonaiyah]

This is the first time i've seen his face

[vizwzuc]

Oh, Siberia. My second home.

Stranger on the internet: "Where are you from?"
Me: "I'm from Serbia"
Stranger on the internet: "Oh, isn't it cold there?"
😂😂😂

I saw Australia there. I would love to see you address it one day. There are so many Aboriginal languages, sadly they are extinct or severely endangered. They are beautiful and diverse languages with a fascinating culture

[swancrunch]

8:45 i'd rather repeat "chukotko-kamchatkan" all day than try to pronounce "ӆыгъораветӆьэн йиӆыйиӆ" once.

[NoblePineapples]

Where I live we will hit -40 (we hit -50 with the windchill this winter) in the winter and 35 C in the summer, quite the range

[imokin]

Your Russian is spot on. Very good, especially the tricky final B in Ob.

Also, so pleasing to see a reference to a paper by someone I went to college with.

[Jacob-yglz]

There needs to be movies or games set in the Russian empire. It was crazily diverse and had the weirdest politics of anywhere in the world.

[DertekN]

8:48 your pronunciation of chukchi language is so good. I am Chukcha but i dont speak my language. I heared it from my grandma many times.

I’ve been fascinated with Siberia for a while now. I feel like most people don’t realize how vast it is, not just west to east, but also north to south. There’s so many natural wonders, nature, different cultures, animals, beauty, and enough land to make a continent of its own but all anyone seems to think is that “its all just cold.” I’d really love to see some of it for myself one day.
