10 mysterious languages ​​are still used

Archi. Archi is the language people use in the village of Archib, in the Caspian Sea, in the south of Russia. With a population of only about 1,200 people, this is the only place in the world where Archi is used. Although there are many similarities with the other two languages ​​in the region: Avar and Lak, linguists still recognize Archi as a separate language. A special feature is that a verb in this language may have 1,500,000 ways of dividing.

Yupik . This is a common word for 5 languages ​​used by Siberian and Western Alaska residents. Each of these languages ​​has similarities, but is different. People in different regions may not understand the words they say, but because of the same sentence and phonetic structure, they can still talk. Yupik is a mixed language. Many words are created with very special meanings, and not a part of the word means, it is only meaningful when used in special situations.

Pawnee . This is the language of Native Americans, living in Nebraska. Their alphabet is quite simple: only 9 consonants and 8 vowels, but one of their words can have up to 30 syllables. It is very difficult to find a sentence without at least 1 word with 10 syllables. Now this language is being eroded. Only old people speak this language, young people tend to learn to speak English. Perhaps this language will be extinct within the next few years.

Sentinelese . This is the language we are completely 'blind' about. It is used by residents on a small island in the Indian Ocean. It is thought that the Sentinelese language is quite similar to the Andamanese (all nouns depend on parts of the word) because geographically, these two areas are quite close to each other.

Silbo Gomero is one of the most special languages ​​today. While most languages ​​include complex sounds with consonants, verbs . the language is extremely simple: it is a whistling language. Just up or down intonation can replace words. Because people mainly live in mountainous areas, whistling is a way to help them communicate well on a large space.

Xhosa. Compared to other languages ​​on this list, Xhosa has a large number of users. This is one of the most widely spoken languages ​​in South Africa. The sentence structure of this language depends heavily on the change of voice. A word has many meanings, depending on the intensity and sound you speak. It also has quite strange consonants: 18 consonants in this language are clackers. Xhosa is a language synthesized from many other languages, including English and Afrikaans.

Pirahã is their last language, this language exists. This may also be one of the simplest languages ​​currently being used: it only has 10 to 20 phonemes. In this language, almost without words of color, numbers, many indigenous people do not even need to use words to communicate with each other, instead, they use a variety of whistles and Oh yeah.

Rotokas is used by the people of Papua New Guinea. It's only about 12 phonemes, and there's no difference in tone. This language has 12 letters, no nasal sounds. Although Rotokas users can speak nasal sounds, they only speak when they want to tease the "foreign" people who practice speaking Rotokas.

Khoisan . This is the oldest language group in Africa, the language of 'cry', along with Xhosa. Because people say this language is spreading over a large area, it is difficult to study it.

! Xó (Taa) . This is the most phonetic language in the world. Some linguists say there are more than 164 consonants and about 111 sounds. They use 4 tones: high, medium, low, medium-low. Another interesting thing is that the name of this language is translated as 'human language'.
