@zoolog106 without looking up any facts and going off of general knowledge, the earliest forms of the polish language probably came into being sometime between 400AD and 700AD and perhaps earlier. wikipedia or google would answer your question alot more accurately than youtube would.

When was the Polish language made?

سانئِيَمِ! سَدائِين ڪَرِين، مَٿي سِنڌُ سُڪارَ دوستَ! مِٺا دِلدارَ، عالَمُ سَڀِ آبادِ ڪَرِين؍

(شاھُ ڀٽائيؒ) “Oh Lord! May Thee Bless my Sindh with bounties in abundance,

Oh My Friend, my Beloved! Glorify Universe all with Thine exuberance.”

(Shah Bhittai: Translated by Ahmed Makhdoom)

مـُون کـي جِـيـَارِيـنِ، وايُـون وَڻـجـَارَن جـون؍

سَنهِينٸَ سوئيءَ سِبيو مۇن مارُن سِين مَنُ؍

Long Live Sindh! Long Live Sindhyata! Long Live Sindhi Nation

@origin8 this means, according to your examples you actually agree with what was said, not disagree.

[djalternegro]

@origin8 please listen to what was said. what was said was not that people who are not "similar" genetically cannot speak the same language, nor speak the same language and accompanying accents/dialects; what was said was that there is a tendency towards a common language from "genetically similar" people. since all humans are EXTREMELY genetically similar, things like language, skin color, eye color, etc. can and do quite easily vary.

[origin8]

@1:25 I do not believe genes predispose anyone to any particular language... there are numerous examples. Just look at any English speaking nation - including England herself! You have black people speaing Cockney, USA you have all sorts of races speaking English with American accents - New Zealand, Canada, Australia - lots of immigrant people with all different genes speaking English to the local standard and in the local accent.
