I made a previous version of the video ( youtube.com/watch?v=PDpFE9TpLPw&t=0s ) a while ago (which surprisingly got popular) and with feedback from the viewers, I made some changes, most notably:

- Added captions/English translated captions for most of the languages

- Added lighter red for other regions/countries that have the same language

- Added 19 new versions

- Removed Kelartic and Kazakh, which was actually a low-quality recording of the Uyghur version.

I was gonna wait until the Central Asian languages popped up online, but with May Day coming up, I just couldn't resist. I'll probably make a new video whenever those and maybe also Somali are around
