Why it works
The 0:00–0:18 sung example makes the viewer hear the subject before the narrator asks the question at 0:42. A playful false answer at 0:50–0:55 pivots into a language-family graphic, coinciding with the strongest replay peak at 0:53–0:59. Maps, letter cards and real speech clips then give several ways to test each claim across 52 shots.
