It blew my mind when I found out that the stereotypical English non-rhotic way of speaking--which is portrayed in so much media as being the more old-timey, fancy way of speaking--only happened in the late 1800s. The concept that Henry VIII probably sounded more like a guy from Ohio than a modern English dude is so funny to me and gives me the same kind of time-twisting feeling as Wooly Mammoths being alive until about a thousand years after the Great Pyramids were constructed, or the whole Cleopatra Pizza Hut thing.

I get what you're saying, but be wary of thinking/suggesting to others that there are modern ways of speaking that have just been more conservative, full stop. There seem to be a few misconceptions such as what @RheaDawnLanguage has actually just said here in this thread. I love Simon's channel, and he's gone out of his way a few times to make it clear that all of these ways of speaking have been shifting and drifting for the same amount of time, and nothing stands still. This idea that somehow US ways of speaking (and I guess many Canadian ones, though nobody brings that up) have been more conservative than other English speaking accents is wrong. It's outright misleading that "you can practically hear the accent get more and more “American” as you go back in time". Simon himself has tried to make this clear. When we listen to these now-dead ways of speaking, our brains want to fit their features into modern categories, so we can hear other modern ways of speaking within them. When I listen to some reconstructions of early modern English (often a dialect that would have been spoken in London, it's important to say), for example, I hear all kinds of things. I can literally see my brain scrambling for something "I know". In one sentence the speaker can sound like they're from the north of England, the west country, northern Ireland, southern Scotland, or certain areas of north America. But it does not just sound "american" to me. But yeah, of course we should expect that the most influential area of the English speaking world for hundreds of years would make sounds who's echoes we still hear in English speaking dialects and accents from around the world to this day. Furthermore, we should expect such an area to be the most quickly changing itself

i'm not putting a heap of effort into this, but i got really curious, and this is what an hour or so of research got me. honestly this would've been great to put in the video. PART 1: "GAY" c. 500 BCE - Proto-Germanic *ganhuz, meaning "fast". Of uncertain origin. c. 800 CE - Frankish *gāhi c. 1000 CE - Old Occitan "gai", meaning "lively" c. 1200 CE - Old French "gai", meaning "merry" c. 1300 CE - Middle English "gay" c. 1700 CE - English "gay" starts to take on (often sexual) connotations of hedonism c. 1930's CE - English "gay" starts to be used to refer to homosexuality PART 2: "RADIO" c. 1 CE - Latin "radius", meaning "ray". Of uncertain origin. At some point, a derivation of this, "radio-", is imported into modern English as a prefix, apparently used in words relating to broadcasting. c. 4000 BCE - Proto-Indo-European *kʷel-, meaning "to turn" c. 500 BCE - Ancient Greek τῆλε, meaning "distant" At some point, this was loaned into French as "télé" c. 4000 BCE - Proto-Indo-European *gerbʰ-, meaning "to carve". Inflected to produce *gr̥bʰéti, "carving". c. 2000 BCE - Proto-Hellenic *grə́pʰō, meaning "to carve" c. 500 BCE - Ancient Greek γρᾰ́φω, meaning "to write" At some point, this was loaned into French as "graphe". This then became a suffix for certain instruments used for writing. 1793 CE - "Télé" and "graphe" are combined to make "télégraphe" by French scholar André-François Miot, to make a name for the newly invented Chappe telegraph. 1838 CE - By now, "telegraph" has been accepted into English as a loanword to refer to devices which transmit messages over long distances. Samuel Morse uses this word to describe his electric telegraph (I doubt he was the first to do this), and this use has since supplanted the prior. c. 1900 CE - Around this time, the prefix "radio-" was added onto "telegraphy" (a modification of the prior) to form "radiotelegraphy". This was, soon after, abbreviated just to "radio". PART 3: "DETECTION" c. 4000 BCE - Proto-Indo-European *teg-, meaning "to cover". May have originally been *steg-, and lost the initial *s due to rebracketing. c. 1 CE - Latin "tegō". This was modified with the negative(?) prefix "dē-" to form "dētegō", "to uncover" or "to reveal". This in turn was modified to create a noun, "dētēctiō", meaning "revealing". At some point, this was loaned into English as "detection". PART 4: "AND" c. 4000 BCE - Proto-Indo-European *h₂énti, meaning "near" (among other things). Locative of *h₂enti "front". c. 1000 BCE - In Pre-Germanic Indo-European, the word would have sounded like "*ánti" c. 500 BCE - Proto-Germanic *andi, meaning "and". This shows an irregular application of Grimm's Law. c. 1000 CE - Old English "and" PART 5: "RANGING" c. 4000 BCE - Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ-, meaning "to straighten" c. 500 BCE - Proto-Germanic *rinkaną. An adjective was derived from this, *rankaz, meaning "upright". c. 400-800 CE - Frankish "rank", meaning "straight, upright" At some point, this was loaned into Vulgar Latin to make "rancus" c. 1200 CE - Old French "reng", meaning "place, position". This was modified to make a verb, "rengier", meaning "to arrange into lines" c. 1300 CE - Middle English "rengen" Over time, this evolved into the modern English verb "range". The gerund of this verb is "ranging". PART 6: "GAYDAR" 1940 CE - "Radio detection and ranging" is made into an acronym, "radar" c. 2000 CE - "Gay" and "radar" are merged to create "gaydar"

In places like Japan or Turkey, commoners just didn't get family names at all, and in places like England and the Netherlands, we used old Germanic (modern day icelandic) sirnaming conventions, I.E I am my father's son. But at some point these areas had permanent sirnames forced upon them, and a lot of the time people didn't know what to make their sirname. Most either kept their grandfathers name or used their job, but if you were a farmer (which most were) you wouldn't use that, you'd have to make something up. There are a lot of sirnames born from people just making shit up for their sirnames, and given that they were allowed TOTAL freedom in doing this... Remember when your 8 year old brother first was allowed to choose his username on COD? And he named himself buttslapper? You all know something like that. Peoples sirnames became peoples internet names of the time and they'd just do what was funniest.

Great video! This is the exact kind of thing I also like to think about. Here's a word with a fun history: 'soyjak', ("referring to a drawing (or type of drawing) that resembles an effeminate man in a particular artstyle"). I'll talk about the history here: Soyjak is a neologism (i.e. recently coined word) that was formed as a combination of two other words: 'soyboy' ("effeminate man") and 'Wojak' (I'll explain below). Soyboy is a portmanteau of 'soy' ("soy sauce", itself made from soybeans) and 'boy'. The etymology of 'boy' is already talked about in this video, so I'll skip over that. Soy first came from China, both literally and as a word, as 醬油 [ jiàngyóu ] ("soy sauce", literally translated as "thick sauce" + "oil"). It was then taken into Japanese around the 1400s as 醤油 [ shòóyú ] (The meaning never changes). Interestingly, it was taken as an orthographic borrowing, which means that the characters remained the same, but it was pronounced according to the new language's rules. There was then a dialect in Kagoshima which presented it as そい [so̞i], which was then topicalized as そや [soya]. From here the Dutch borrowed it as 'soja', via the contact that occurred via European trade. Finally, it entered English around the 1670s as the 'soy' we all know. 'Soy' would be combined with 'boy' to create 'soyboy' sometime in the 2010s, as a derogatory term. It probably came about due to the notion that men who preferred soy were weak, as well as the (incorrect) thought that the phytoestrogen in soy would "feminize" men. The double "-oy" sound probably also helped boost its popularity. Wojak also has an interesting history. In the way it was used to form 'soyjak', 'wojak' refers specifically to a drawing of a bald man, named after the user who reposted it online: 'Wojak'. The user posted it (or reposted, I'm not sure) on a German imageboard called "krautchan". This isn't technically relevant, but I wanted to mention it. As the user was Polish, their username almost certainly came from the Polish word "wojak", which was an informal term that meant "soldier". So, there was the Proto-Indo-European root '*weyh₁-' ("to chase away; to suppress or persecute"). Via '*woyh₁-o-s' it was inherited into Proto-Baltic-Slavic as '*wajas' ("soldier"). This leads to '*vojь' in Proto-Slavic ("soldier") and then to the (obsolete) Polish noun 'woj' ("warrior"). Separately in Proto-Slavic, there was '*-akъ', which denotes a carrier of property. This descends into '-ak' in modern Polish, which is used to form demonyms as well as various colloquial nouns. Thus, 'woj' and '-ak' would combine to make 'wojak'! Admittedly, this is surface analysis, and it would probably be more accurate to say that wojak derived as a whole from '*vojakъ' (itself seen as *vojь + *-akъ, which I just talked about), but it doesn't matter too much. So, yeah. From here, 'soyboy' and 'Wojak' combined to make 'soyjak'! Hella neat. Edit: KZitem messed up my formatting and deleted a bunch of words >:( I'll do my best to fix the issues but I might miss some of it. If it happens again I'm sorry.

My favourite bit of etymology in Polish is "raz" In old Polish is meant somethingl like "strike" It morphed into some words that make sense with it: - Zaraza - Infection - Urazić kogoś - to hurt someone's feelings - Obrazić kogoś - to insult someone - Porazić kogoś - to electrocute someone It also started to mean something quick, so we got: - Za raz - in a second - Od razu - right away - Raz Raz! - Something to say to make someone quicker - Raz - "one" instead of "jeden" in certain situations. "One, two three!" is "Raz, dwa, trzy!" And then some evolutions I don't understand: - Raz - "My first time" - "Mój pierwszy raz" - Razy - "3 times 2" - "3 razy 2" And my favourite part relates to the first list Obrazić also used to mean "to chip" and wooden statues were called "obraz" Wooden staues were important for early slavs, so the Polish started calling all visual art "Obraz" But now it only means "painting"

Yes some angry adults are always into punishing some children, when they pronounce it the wrong way, but we wouldnt have thousands of languages in the world today, if people didnt pronounce words in wrong way or bit diffrent way. Pronouncing word wrong way already gives some language evolution, if that words gets traction in the society its used in, so there is no need to punish children for pronouncing word incorrectly, when that would make just some words super old bland and boring to use.

I believe that the noun farm is mostly derived from Old English feorm a feast related to the verb feormian to sustain feed, feormehām a farm as in place where food is grown possibly merged in pronounciation with both the verb and the previous noun. The only one of these that seems to have not merged in pronounciation is feormere Modern English farmer. The modern sense of the noun farm seems to have been influenced by an Old French word however this word appears to be of germanic origin

ok this video has impressed me SO MUCH ahhh WOW you're a geniusss I have a few comments/feedback so I hope I remember them all lol 1. The literally one way that this incredible video that could've been improved is... slowww down my friend!! I promise you that giving 1 extra second on each stage of each etymology (and maybe 2 seconds when there are extra interesting notes) will not make the video boring at all, but will instead will make it a bit less intense and prevent having to pause every so often! 2. I LOVE all your pronounciations, especially the PIE, that 'language' is so weird it sounds like an indigenous american language haha 3. I do remember vaguely from Vsauce's video that the term selfie came from Australia, but ARMIDALE?!? REALLY?? that small town away from the coast? wow thats so interesting! 4. I absolutely adore the inclusion of the 'light-up map', thats so genius and is an amazing format that you and/or other linguistics youtubers could also do. Maybe its already a thing, Im not sure I've ever seen it though. 5. The only pretty big mistake in the video... I had no idea where pog came from before this video but I looked it up because a 'Passion', Orange and Guava juice didnt seem quite right! And yes, I was right that it is Passion FRUIT in the juice, not just Passion haha. Looking up the etymology of Passion Fruit is super interesting and complicated by itself, so this pogchamp etymology is truly truly wild. Do you think there's any current colloquial word with a more complicated etymology?! EDIT: I checked again and you did write (fruit) in brackets I see now! But wikipedia claims that passion fruit is a direct translation of the Latin genus name that came from Christian missionaries. It is sourced very well too on wikipedia, have a look, super interesting! "The term 'passion fruit' in English comes from the passion flower, as an English translation of the Latin genus name, Passiflora... Around 1700, the name Passiflora was given by missionaries in Brazil as an educational aid to convert the indigenous inhabitants to Christianity: its name was flor das cinco chagas or "flower of the five wounds" to illustrate the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection, with other plant components also named after an emblem in the Passion of Jesus." The English language is absolutely wild and this video is so well done. The views are well deserved!

Boy isn't probably from indoeuropan origin, but finnougric. In protouralic the word for boy is "poji" and most finno-ugric languages share some transformations of the word. The word boy has probably been adopted by germanic people from baltic finns (In estonia poeg and in finnish poika). That is why only germenic people use some form of "boy", but not other indo-european languages.
