When we talk about English, we often think of it as a single language
0
6864
3793
Kada pričamo o engleskom,
često razmišljamo o njemu kao o pojedinačnom jeziku,
00:10
but what do the dialects spoken in dozens of countries around the world
1
10657
4340
ali šta dijalekti koji se govore u desetinama zemalja širom sveta
00:14
have in common with each other,
2
14997
2053
imaju zajedničko jedni sa drugima
00:17
or with the writings of Chaucer?
3
17050
1930
ili sa Čoserovim delima?
00:18
And how are any of them related to the strange words in Beowulf?
4
18980
4048
I u kakvoj je vezi bilo koji od njih sa čudnim rečima u „Beovulfu”?
00:23
The answer is that like most languages,
5
23028
2243
Odgovor je da se, kao i većina jezika,
00:25
English has evolved through generations of speakers,
6
25271
3055
engleski razvio kroz generacije govornika,
00:28
undergoing major changes over time.
7
28326
2981
prolazeći kroz značajne promene vremenom.
00:31
By undoing these changes,
8
31307
2033
Kroz poništavanje ovih promena,
00:33
we can trace the language from the present day
9
33340
2439
možemo da pratimo jezik od današnjeg dana
00:35
back to its ancient roots.
10
35779
2624
do njegovih drevnih korena.
00:38
While modern English shares many similar words
11
38403
2133
Dok moderni engleski deli mnoge slične reči
00:40
with Latin-derived romance languages,
12
40536
2402
sa romanskim jezicima koji potiču iz latinskog,
00:42
like French and Spanish,
13
42938
1644
kao što su francuski i španski,
00:44
most of those words were not originally part of it.
14
44582
3141
većina ovih reči nije izvorno bila njegov deo.
00:47
Instead, they started coming into the language
15
47723
2548
Umesto toga, one su počele da ulaze u jezik
00:50
with the Norman invasion of England in 1066.
16
50271
4816
sa normanskom invazijom na Englesku 1066. godine.
Kada su Normani koji su govorili francuski pokorili Englesku
00:55
When the French-speaking Normans conquered England
17
55087
2545
00:57
and became its ruling class,
18
57632
2017
i postali njena vladajuća klasa,
00:59
they brought their speech with them,
19
59649
2144
doneli su svoj govor sa sobom,
01:01
adding a massive amount of French and Latin vocabulary
20
61793
3474
dodajući ogromnu količinu francuskog i latinskog vokabulara
01:05
to the English language previously spoken there.
21
65267
3019
engleskom jeziku koji se pre toga govorio na ovom području.
01:08
Today, we call that language Old English.
22
68286
2763
Danas ovaj jezik nazivamo staroengleski.
01:11
This is the language of Beowulf.
23
71049
2446
Ovo je jezik „Beovulfa”.
01:13
It probably doesn't look very familiar,
24
73495
2114
Verovatno vam ne izgleda poznato,
01:15
but it might be more recognizable if you know some German.
25
75609
4306
ali može vam biti prepoznatljiv ako znate nešto nemačkog.
01:19
That's because Old English belongs to the Germanic language family,
26
79915
3892
To je zbog toga što staroengleski pripada germanskoj porodici jezika,
01:23
first brought to the British Isles in the 5th and 6th centuries
27
83807
3788
koje su na Britanska ostrva u 5. i 6. veku prvi doneli
01:27
by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
28
87595
3584
Angli, Saksonci i Juti.
01:31
The Germanic dialects they spoke would become known as Anglo-Saxon.
29
91179
4722
Germanski dijalekat koji su govorili postaće poznat pod imenom anglo-saksonski.
01:35
Viking invaders in the 8th to 11th centuries
30
95901
3030
Vikinški osvajači su od 8. do 11. veka
01:38
added more borrowings from Old Norse into the mix.
31
98931
4012
dodali još pozajmljenica iz staronordijskog u ovu mešavinu.
01:42
It may be hard to see the roots of modern English
32
102943
2828
Može biti teško uvideti korene modernog engleskog
01:45
underneath all the words borrowed
33
105771
1863
ispod svih reči pozajmljenih
01:47
from French, Latin, Old Norse and other languages.
34
107634
4104
iz francuskog, latinskog, staronordijskog i drugih jezika,
01:51
But comparative linguistics can help us by focusing on grammatical structure,
35
111738
5166
ali nam uporedna lingvistika može pomoći kroz fokusiranje na gramatičku strukturu,
01:56
patterns of sound changes,
36
116904
1829
obrasce promene glasova
01:58
and certain core vocabulary.
37
118733
2442
i određeni osnovni rečnik.
02:01
For example, after the 6th century,
38
121175
2507
Na primer, posle 6. veka,
02:03
German words starting with "p," systematically shifted to a "pf" sound
39
123682
5329
nemačke reči koje su počinjale slovom „p” sistematski su se prebacile na glas „pf”,
02:09
while their Old English counterparts kept the "p" unchanged.
40
129011
4098
dok su njihovi staroengleski parnjaci zadržali „p” kao nepromenjeno.
02:13
In another split, words that have "sk" sounds in Swedish
41
133109
3868
U drugim razgraničavanjima, reči koje imaju glasove „sk” u švedskom
02:16
developed an "sh" sound in English.
42
136977
3417
razvile su glas „š” u engleskom.
02:20
There are still some English words with "sk,"
43
140394
2842
I dalje postoje neke engleske reči sa glasovima „sk”,
02:23
like "skirt," and "skull,"
44
143236
2021
kao „skirt” i „skull”,
02:25
but they're direct borrowings from Old Norse
45
145257
2731
ali one su direkne pozajmljenice iz staronordijskog
02:27
that came after the "sk" to "sh" shift.
46
147988
3793
koje su usvojene posle prelaska „sk” u „š”.
02:31
These examples show us
47
151781
1929
Ovi primeri nam pokazuju da,
02:33
that just as the various Romance languages descended from Latin,
48
153710
3918
kao što su različiti romanski jezici potekli iz latinskog,
02:37
English, Swedish, German, and many other languages
49
157628
3975
engleski, švedski, nemački i mnogi drugi jezici
02:41
descended from their own common ancestor known as Proto-Germanic
50
161603
4403
potekli su iz zajedničkog pretka pod nazivom pragermanski
02:46
spoken around 500 B.C.E.
51
166006
2848
koji se govorio oko 500. godine pre Hrista.
02:48
Because this historical language was never written down,
52
168854
3447
Pošto ovaj istorijski jezik nikada nije zapisan,
02:52
we can only reconstruct it by comparing its descendants,
53
172301
3883
možemo samo da ga rekonstruišemo kroz poređenje njegovih potomaka,
02:56
which is possible thanks to the consistency of the changes.
54
176184
3118
što je moguće zahvaljujući doslednosti ovih promena.
02:59
We can even use the same process to go back one step further,
55
179302
4369
Možemo čak i da koristimo isti proces da bismo otišli korak unazad
03:03
and trace the origins of Proto-Germanic to a language called Proto-Indo-European,
56
183671
6070
i pratili poreklo pragermanskog do jezika koji se naziva praindoevropski,
03:09
spoken about 6000 years ago
57
189741
2181
koji se govorio pre oko 6000 godina
03:11
on the Pontic steppe in modern day Ukraine and Russia.
58
191922
4590
u Pontijskoj stepi, u današnjoj Ukrajini i Rusiji.
03:16
This is the reconstructed ancestor of the Indo-European family
59
196512
4331
Ovo je rekonstruisani predak indoevropske porodice
03:20
that includes nearly all languages historically spoken in Europe,
60
200843
4528
koji uključuje skoro sve jezike koji su se u prošlosti govorili u Evropi,
03:25
as well as large parts of Southern and Western Asia.
61
205371
3340
kao i u značajnim delovima južne i zapadne Azije.
03:28
And though it requires a bit more work,
62
208711
2742
Iako ovo zahteva malo više rada,
03:31
we can find the same systematic similarities, or correspondences,
63
211453
4437
možemo da nađemo iste sistematične sličnosti ili povezanosti
03:35
between related words in different Indo-European branches.
64
215890
3974
između povezanih reči u različitim indoevropskim granama.
03:39
Comparing English with Latin,
65
219864
2221
Ako uporedimo engleski sa latinskim,
03:42
we see that English has "t" where Latin has "d",
66
222085
3605
vidimo da engleski ima „t” na mestu gde latinski ima „d”,
03:45
and "f" where latin has "p" at the start of words.
67
225690
4038
a „f” gde latinski ima „p” na početku reči.
03:49
Some of English's more distant relatives include Hindi, Persian
68
229728
3953
Neki od daljih rođaka engleskog su hindi, persijski i keltski jezici
03:53
and the Celtic languages it displaced in what is now Britain.
69
233681
4428
koji su preseljeni u deo koji je danas poznat kao Britanija.
03:58
Proto-Indo-European itself descended from an even more ancient language,
70
238109
4660
Sam praindoevropski potekao je iz još starijeg jezika,
04:02
but unfortunately, this is as far back as historical and archeological evidence
71
242769
5139
ali, nažalost, istorijski i arheološki dokazi
04:07
will allow us to go.
72
247908
2180
dozvoljavaju nam da stignemo samo do ovog mesta.
04:10
Many mysteries remain just out of reach,
73
250088
2192
Mnoge misterije ostaju van dometa,
04:12
such as whether there might be a link between Indo-European
74
252280
3378
kao što je da li postoji veza između indoevropske
04:15
and other major language families,
75
255658
2184
i drugih glavnih jezičkih porodica
04:17
and the nature of the languages spoken in Europe prior to its arrival.
76
257842
4680
i prirode jezika koji se govorio u Evropi pre njegovog pojavljivanja.
04:22
But the amazing fact remains that nearly 3 billion people around the world,
77
262522
4896
Međutim, ostaje zapanjujuća činjenica da skoro 3 milijarde ljudi širom sveta,
04:27
many of whom cannot understand each other,
78
267418
2562
od kojih mnogi ne mogu da se međusobno razumeju,
04:29
are nevertheless speaking the same words shaped by 6000 years of history.
79
269980
6380
ipak koriste iste reči koje je oblikovala istorija duga 6000 godina.
