A group of Chinese dialects (like Wu, which is represented by Shanghainese; Yue, represented by Cantonese and Hoishan; Min, represented by Hokkien, Teochew and Fuzhounese) also followed the similar developing pattern in the ancient time. They used to absorb Mandarins in different periods of time and preserve their original languages (actually in the very beginning they are different tribes, in which people speak totally different languages compared with Mandarin at that time) as basis.
thank u!!
The guy on the right at 04:30… Is that Louis CK? 😀
The Romans protected the Celts from Germanic tribes? That’s not true at all. In fact one of the reasons why those Germanic tribes settled the British Isles was that they were contracted as mercenaries by Roman aristocrats after most of Roman legions left the isles as the empire was slowly collapsing.
Actually genetics show that the Britons were not “done away with”, and the Danes had little genetic input. In fact even the Saxon genetic input was relatively small. The vast majority of the the people across the British Isles, were/are the same people who were here for thousands of years. The massive linguistic, political and cultural changes brought about by the Saxons, Danes and Normans, gives the impression that there were also fundamental changes to the the actual makeup of the people inhabiting the islands – there wasn’t.

English is: a native language (UK, US), a trade language (Japan, Russia), a second language (Israel Germany), foreign language most everywhere, and a status/elite language (India). In Singapore English acts as a neutral national link language and similarly in Europe. Some countries like India English is a status language where it’s speakers are conferred privileges of employment, respect and social respect and non speakers are treated as illiterate fools. It’s remarkable how a language from a little island can take on so many forms.
Really interesting video!
Please can someone tell me the name of every person after Obama (I recognised only Louis C.K.) . Please I’m going mad
“Cute Viking neighbours” – hmmmm 😳

Awesome video! In India speaking English makes us feel aristocratic. 😁
Today I got to know that the same feeling persisted in England.
I really feel like they need to make some movie that take place 1000 years ago and they make the language they speak pure and true to the age. That would be amazing.
3:29 So that’s the reason why English doesn’t even look/sound like English
