[INACCURATE] The History of the Austroasiatic Languages

The Austroasiatic languages, also known as the Mon-Khmer languages, is a major language family spoken widely across Mainland Southeast Asia and parts of the Indian subcontinent.

These languages were once widely spoken across southern China and may have been the primary language of the Yangtze civilization. It may even have once been spoken in southern Korea and Japan, but this is controversial.

This video presents the history and evolution of the Austroasiatic languages from 4000 BCE to the present.

Disclaimer: all dates are approximations, and there are many hypotheses regarding the development and classification of these languages that are not represented in this video.
