  1. Sardinian being the closest language to Latin is a dubious claim, as it is the last remnant of the Afro-Romance family, which was the first group of languages to diverge from that Latin spoken in Europe. Polymathy has a video somewhere explaining that the Latin of 5th-century Italy was written the same as Classical Latin but pronounced much more similarly to modern Italian.

  2. Even after our recent video, I remain stymied by friends who think Old Egyptian is a Semitic language.
