Yoruba (/ˈjɒrʊbə/; Yor. Èdè Yorùbá; Ajami: عِدعِ يوْرُبا) is a language spoken in West Africa, primarily in Southwestern and Central Nigeria. It is spoken by the ethnic Yoruba people. The number of Yoruba speakers is roughly 45 million, plus about 2 million second-language speakers. As a pluricentric language, it is primarily spoken in a dialectal area spanning Nigeria and Benin with smaller migrated communities in Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.
OK, a little background here this dude, named Paul. He does videos breaking down the way different languages all over the world structure sentences and convey ideas. He’s done hundreds of videos at this point covering both well-known and lesser known languages all over the world.
I think it is so cool that he gave AAVE (a.k.a. Ebonics) the same grammatical explanation of how the mechanics of the dialect work with consistent rules across a variety of different sentences. I loved its explanation of how verb forms are consistent inside of a single tense but do change from one tense to another in a way that I might not have thought about.
I really love that he used his ability (linguistics) to talk about this. I had heard people tell me that AAVE has consistent rules but I never had someone explain it in a way that I totally understood what they meant. There were so many of the eureka moments in this video. I can’t recommend this enough. This video makes an ironclad case that AAVE is a distinct dialect of English and is definitely not simply “proper English spoken badly“ as many people erroneously try to make a case for. It is a dialect with consistent grammatical structures. I love this video. I can’t recommend it enough.
Langfocus’s video about the Albanian language!
Ok not to be a linguistics nerd but there's this really cool channel I found on YouTube called Langfocus and it has some incredibly interesting videos!! You should check it out if you're interested in languages and linguistics ☺️
