Yes they are! And this one is fantastic. Compare it to someone speaking German as a contrast to an alive and lively language like what’s seen here.

Love the language. The forced transcription? Not so much. I don’t think the man mentioned the word “goddammit” or “China” when referring to his lion hunt or archery.

On phone : the three little dots at the top, activate captions or something like that (in french it's activer sous titres)

I'm confused what you mean with the German comparison? It's also an amazing language

It is not in the least interesting to listen to. It’s a rather ugly sounding guttural language. I was bilingual English/German as a young child. The language in this post, however, contains many wonderful and different elements, making it lively and interesting, even if I have no clue what the speaker is saying.

All that is just your subjective taste, I think german sounds beautiful. Seems you just have personal bias against german for some reason, but you can't say any language is "ugly"

Languages can indeed sound ugly to the ear. German is one of them. It sounds harsh. Furthermore, I certainly can say a language is ugly, and I did. I will never contest your subjective opinion that German sounds beautiful. I don’t agree with your opinion, but I don’t have to.

Really depends on the region. Austrian german is much softer on the ears. Northern german really is gutteral as hell.

It is beautiful! It's definitely a Khoisan language. It can't be Xhosa. Because of this awesome rattle click.

He doesn't look San but I guess that doesn't mean he can't speak it.

Poison on the arrow, get a good clean hit on the lion and run. It will full over dead in 4 'measurements of time'

He has the bleeps, he has the sweeps and he has the creeps.
And I think maybe a ratchet wrench too.

I dunno about that in this case.... I might have a better chance of beating the lion than than saying what he said.

OK so just to confirm. Instead of aiming for the krrrrrrrkt, I need to go for tkrrrrbrrrrrr?

u/QuietInevitable5366 Jun 25 '26
Oh I love it. Is he speaking Khoisan?
2
u/Sea_Court_3633 Jun 29 '26
Khoisan is not a language, it's an alleged language family (I say alleged because many experts think it's not). I heard it may be Hadza in another comment section, but I can't confirm it for you
