Toycat, I'm writing with heavy heart because I've been saying to mention Bangladesh in one of your videos for quite some time now. This was the perfect chance to mention Bangladesh cuz we spoke Bengali, the 6th language in your map. But, you just stopped at Arabic and that was it. Extremely heartbroken. I won't be able to watch your videos in peace now cuz it'll remind me of this video where despite it being in the subject of your video, you didn't say anything about Bangladesh nor the Bengali language.

13:30 This is actually a really great map and by a long shot the best map you showed in the video. (After the rat map.) Yes, Indo-European is very widely spoken but it doesn't make it any more diverse than it really is. Language families, the languages who share a common ancestor, are the only way we can classify languages without it being extremely problematic. (Classifying by language family is just moderately problematic.) That said, if you want to show which languages domimate the world you should make a map showing the percentage of people who know English, Spanish, Arabic, etc in different countries and regions and then maybe make the map also bloated based on the population density in the funny way. Also, ~80% of Latvian citizens can speak Russian with a third of the country having it as their first language. So Latvian is more Russian speaking than India is English speaking by a ton. Also Indo-European languages didn't come from India, they originated from European Russia, north of Caucasus. I'm not sure if there's an exact consensus on that but no one's saying they're from India.

I have all 5 levels of Rosetta Stone for German that's been sitting in my house for about 8 years now, I got through half of part 1, and ended up taking a course at school for a year. While I was in highschool, I could've held a conversation with it, but nowadays I'd be lucky to be able to respond to someone in German. For me, in any language (I can speak 2 fluently and can understand and speak to varying degrees another 4-5) the hardest thing is vocab. Even in my native English and French languages (I live in a part of Canada where large English and French populations merge and kinda mix as one meets the other. Although the majority of us speak English, and it's effectively the lingua franca.) vocabulary is quite difficult. All those complex grammar rules we learnt in grade 12 AP french, been doing them since I was in 6th grade, but remember how to say the word "cutting board"? The hell if I remember. Or when I switched schools, I had no idea the English word for a protractor. Maybe I'll finish the German sometime.

"I'd argue that English speaking in Sweden is more common than..." That's an argument that can't fail since I'm sure like 80-90% of Sweden speaks English. It's to the point that radio shows will air interviews in English with no explanation given because it's just assumed that the few that don't speak English are 100 years old. Edit: Not counting young children of course. It might have gotten even earlier in age now but when I grew up we started learning English at 10, but that was over 20 years ago.

I was skeptical the entire time you were talking about Rosetta Stone waiting for the punchline of how they were not in fact a sponsor.

At least in Finland it's mandatory for everyone to study english from middle school to high school so pretty much everyone can speak or at least understand english here

Hmm... just curious... why Bolivia doesn't show in the map of Spanish speaking countries? They have Spanish as one of their official languages if I remember correctly

The map with the english language showed that it is widely spoken in Switzerland, i live there and to me it doesnt feel like a lot of people do, even when im in Bern i barely see anyone speak english

Never understood why there isn’t an international sign language in use. It would so useful in many ways

For the same reason there isnt a single international language: because language invariably changes over time, people migrate and bring their language with them, and many people have intense attachment to their native or cultural language

I think a statistic about which languages are spoken most by surface area they cover on earth would be really interesting. It would show which languages are more convenient to learn if you travel the world, since often spoken languages like Hindi or Mandarin are spoken in very populastion dense areas unlike something like Portuguese which is spoken in more widely spread around the globe. Greetings from 11.7% Germany btw ^^

I just watched this cuz it's interesting, but hearing that you are learning my first language makes this even more interesting :) Your Dutch is already really good, you can tell you've been at it for a while.

On the "rat free" map, Alberta is mis-located; it appears with its southern boundary in southern Wyoming or northern Colorado.

If I were to take a guess why there’s a chunk of Australia that doesn’t speak Germanic languages (and it’s pretty much what you just said) is because there’s not a lot of people who have European descent living there. Most of us live on the east coast/ down south so, yea, it would be because there’s mostly indigenous people living in those areas who still speak their languages.

Why Bolivia is not part of Spanish Speaking country (not highlighted on the map)? Spanish is one of the official languages there.

you should definitely try learning a language! in fact, as a side hobby that you could do occasionally on this channel could be duolingo speed runs. that would be hilarious knowing your personality!

A lot of different countries speak English, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic in completely different countries because of empires in the past. And that's kinda sad that so many languages are dying out and everyone in the future will probably only speak those ones.

If a language dies out its cause the native speakers didnt care enough to speak it which is there choice (excluding times when such empires forced languages to be spoken)

@@Marie-fx2qp in most cases its about empires and nation states forcing the languages to be spoken. Even just having the majority language he in schools and not the minority language already played a role.
