Ancient Languages

[Rhila]

Hello OT,

this video from YouTube about ancient languages ​​created with the help of artificial intelligence:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc22W3bos64

the old English is shocking, how is that possible??
and i can't understand any of all the other languages.
only few words from Phoenician language.

[Rhila]

i can understand few words of the Old English after hearing it multiple times.

I struggle to understand old french, it's really nothing like modern french.

The Old English sounds like Dutch/German but also like Icelandic with the th and rr sounds. 🤔

what about the old Japanese at 2:26 can you understand it?

What about caveman grunts

HUU PUUUU

It’s amazing how much of the Latin language survived and remained the same throughout history.

Sadly this entire video is a lie. The only AI generated thing about it is probably the weird face lipsync.

The "Old Norse" is not even actually Old Norse. It's audio ripped from an Icelandic TV skit about Vikings. Compare the audio in that video to this one, it's literally the same:

Don't know enough about the other languages to speak on them but I know the Old English is also from an uncredited source. But that one is at least actually Old English.

By the way, I was actually recommended the video linked in the OP several months ago. The description used to advertise a cryptocurrency but it seems that was removed from the description now. Shady channel overall.

Yeah i think Phoenician in the video Rhila linked was litterally just an arabic dialect, it sounds far too close to arabic for instance. Just like Ryukyan language sounded just like Japanese, i recognised one or 2 words at least..

figures, that explains the wildly varying audio quality, which with the evidence at hand can be assumed to come from different sources, some maybe recorded on cheap mics by language enthusiasts (the buzzy ones).
same goes with the random presence of music and ambiance in some of the clips but not in others.

that said, still an interesting topic, and on that topic:

Old English's closest cousin is Frisian.

Anyway, I've always loved the old poem The Wanderer, long before Tolkien borrowed parts of it.
