Mystery languages! (Inspiration from Langfocus)

Hi!

I haven't been posting for a long time now, and I see that my viewers are increasing. So I decided to post something I have never done before: The Mystery Languages! Paul from Langfocus has done this and I also wanted to try this. Unfortunately, I have got only text and no audio.


1. Ikinagagalak kong makilala kayo.
This means, "I'm pleased to meet you"

2. Nakaagaw niya ang aking mga cookies.
This means, "He stole my cookies"

(NOTE- The sentences given here and the next ones could be wrong. If there is any error, then please tell me by commenting)

The language is Tagalog, the national language of Philippines(It is also known as Filipino). It is an Austronesian language, meaning that... Okay. I've never had an experience with another Austronesian language before, I've only experienced Tagalog.

Was that too easy for you? Well, let's get to the next one. I'll use the same sentences, as I can't generate(what a word) more of them.

1. ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളെ കണ്ടതിൽ സന്തോഷം സുഖമാണ്
ñān niṅṅaḷe kaṇṭatil santēāṣaṁ sukhamāṇ.
2. അവൻ എന്റെ കുക്കികൾ മോഷ്ടിച്ചു
avan enṟe kukkikaḷ mēāṣṭiccu.

Xhosa! It is a language spoken in South Africa(and I believe Zimbabwe too) it has three clicks, x, c, and q. Have you ever learned a click language before? If not, this is a good place to start! As it is a Bantu language, it will be easy for you to learn other Bantu languages.



How many did you get correct? Were you close? Were you like, "This language is spoken in this place? Hope you liked playing this game, and very soon, I might make a part 2!

The Irish Language

 The Irish Language is a Goidelic language, a language branch from the Indo-European language family. Some people call it Irish Gaelic to not get confused with Gaelic, which is Scottish Gaelic. It's called 'Gaeilge' in Irish, and although its name (in English) come from where it's spoken (Ireland), it's a minority language! It has fewer than 100,000 speakers, and if you really want to make Irish survive, then I recommend that you learn Irish and then become an Irish teacher.  What is the majority language, then? Yup, it's English!  It is among the national languages of the EU. Which is very impressive for a language which has less than a million speakers.   The fate of the language was influenced by the increasing power of the English state in Ireland. Elizabethan officials viewed the use of Irish unfavourably, as being a threat to all things English in Ireland. Its decline began under English rule in the 17th century.
