Achomi (Larestani): Can Persian Speakers Understand It?

Can Persian speakers from Iran and Afghanistan understand the Achomi Language?
In this video, we take a look at a language and culture which many people know nothing about. Achomi, which is also referred to as Larestani, is an Iranian language spoken by the Achomi / Khodmooni people (also known as Lari / Larestani). Achomi people have done a remarkable job preserving so many ancient elements of the Persian language which are no longer in use in modern Persian. In fact, their language is considered to be a living branch of the Middle Persian (Pahlavi) language of the Sassanid Empire spoken as far back as the 3rd century. Interestingly, the majority of the Achomi people are Sunni, although they continue to maintain and carry out ancient pre-Islamic Iranian culture and traditions which play a major role in defining their unique identity. They come from a historical region known as Laristan in southern Iran, and today, about half of their population resides in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman, often referred to by different names depending on the region. Although their language is endangered and in decline, I hope with such videos we are able to not only help in preserving it, but also spread awareness about it, as well as their history and culture.

The Persian language (Farsi) is an ancient language which has had a huge amount of impact on other languages and cultures, mainly the Middle East, as well as Central and South Asia. Classified as one of the Western Iranian languages, Persian holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Persian has strongly influenced many different languages, including numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent. Persian has a long history of literature and it was notable for being the first language in the Muslim world to break through Arabic's monopoly on writing. The Persian language has also influenced the Arabic language, although the impact of Arabic on Persian has been higher. But the influence of Persian in the Muslim world has been strong since the early days of Islam. It was even established as a court tradition instead of Arabic under many ruling Muslim dynasties.

Another Achomi speaker here. Growing up we spoke only Achomi in our house, we learned Farsi when starting school. Achomi is being diluted with each new generation, mainly due to the farsi dominated school and media. Nevertheless, my siblings speak with their children in Achomi at home just like we were spoken to as kids, that still gives me hope that our sweet and cozy achomi may yet survive as it has done for over a thousands of years.

This was super interesting. I’m from Bahrain and I speak a southern dialect of Persian as well, but it’s different from Achomi/Larestani. I think Achomi is specifically mostly spoken amongst the Sunni Bahraini-persians (also called Huwala) while we (Shias which are often referred to as Ajam) speak a different dialect, and I can’t really seem to find resources on which specific dialect we speak other than the fact that it’s a southern dialect, perhaps it’s closer to the Bushehri dialect but still not sure. It’s super nice to see our language actually be recognised outside our community, thanks for this informative video! ❤️

Thank you so much for organizing it and of course I thank your lovely guests for their participation and amazing contribution. The thing that was really interesting for me was that I realized Achomi also has a lot of similarities with Bakhtiari Luri (I’m Bakhtiari myself). There are numerous examples in this video alone and I think someone with a high degree of knowledge of both Persian and Bakhtiari Luri can easily understand a decent amount of Achomi. I would also love to see more of these somewhat lesser represented Iranian languages in future. Thank you all again and happy Nowruz to everyone ❤️

@@1zy ​​⁠​⁠My family is from Parwan and Panjshir. Inside and outside Afghanistan everyone calls it Farsi. The only place I’ve heard it called “Dari” is online and always by people like you who use it politically to detach Tajiks/Farsiwan from their Persian roots and history. Tajiks in Afghanistan are not culturally Persian? Let’s see, we speak Persian, celebrate Persian holidays, have persian-styled names, live in the lands of Eranshahr, started Persian dynasties (Samanid), contributed to Persian literature and music, etc. Are all Persian speaking people and countries the exact same? No, but there are deep rooted cultural, linguistic, and historical connections between all Iranian peoples and especially between the Persian speaking ones. Also you mentioned Iran-e-bozorg. I agree it won’t be happening any time soon because of how mentally divided we all are but I bet you’d be surprised how many people would be willing to unify into a Greater Iran if there was a large movement with a realistic chance of succeeding.

It's slowly but surely fading in its originating cities (Lar, Gerash, Bastak, Evaz, Khonj, Parsian and many other cities in Fars and Hoemozgan province), as families decidedly don't talk to their children in Larestani and just teach them basic Persian in order to make them feel more comfortable and avoid judgement and prejudice by others for their accents when they attend national Iranian universities and intract with people in other cities in Iran. It's sad, watching an ancient language fade, a remainder of Middle Persian nonetheless. Thank you for contributing to this language, to my mother tongue.

I grew up with them and some are still my friends. Famous last names in Kuwait include Ashkanani, Safar, Al Bloushi, Behbehani, Dashti, At Turkumani, Bou Shehri, Bahzad, Marefi, and more. As you might have noticed, some refer to different cities in Khuzestan. This is why I love Kuwait. People came from different places and settled together and built a community. It only adds diversity and cultural richness to our society.

I am from the Pars region of Iran and i never heard of Achomi dialect despite hearing small amount of Lari ppl living in Kuwait after moving their few years ago to open business. But i know the country Bahrain 🇧🇭 name is very similar to the Sasanian King "Bahram" the great which relates to the Persian Sasanian empire who defeated the African Aksumit empire who conquered the Arabian peninsula two separate times which the Sasanians defeated and pushed out of the Askumit empire from Arabian peninsula both times and forced migrated few of the main Aksumit clan's out side of their capital in Iraq to keep them in control and under surveillance which Sasanians Also placed vassal government in Arabian to prevent from being annex by African empire's again..

in kuwait they call achomi kandri ..

​@PĀRSÆ•Kôrosh•ArdâSher false, bahrain in arabic means two seas .. aksum empire only occupied little parts of yemen not even all of it .. only some small support of persians were supplied and they got removed ..

[@faresalhawaj9936]

​@@ke_ke5465 interesting. i thought Achomi and Ajami are related. turned out they don't actually refer to the same group of people.

[@PARSA.Korosh.Ardashir1]

@@deadbeat5165And the word "arabe" Means something different in Persian while you can't deny Hakhamanish and Sasanian empires who where super Powers didn't rule over your little deserts while in those time's the Arabian peninsula had few inhabitable regions which Yaman was the main power house where people lived a stationary life style unlike most of the other regions in the desert where the Bedouin Arabs lived in Nomadic style tents in deserts and Weren't accustomed to agriculture or being under One rule of law which makes a kingdom and prestige's to a Empire. Also based on Sasanian texts Persians started campaigns in different regions of Arabian peninsula against the Aksumit empire not just today's Yaman region. The Askumits Africans control most of Arabian peninsula for combined of 80 + years based on their two separate times of conquering the Arabian peninsula. there was a in depth video on English historic channel on KZbin which explained the beginning history of Arabian-peninsula and it's different Kingdom's but unfortunately it's been removed from KZbin, maybe because they mentioned Hakhamanish, Parthian and Sasanian empire's role in Arabia.

Achomi should seriously be considered if there ever is a candidate for revival of a pure persian language. It's just too beautiful and authentic.

The video is beautiful - I love all your videos about languages ​​and how we are often the same But I would like to comment correct you as a Kuwaiti. We speak Arabic, 96% of Kuwaitis are of Arab origin. But if you mean Kuwaitis of Persian origin, they are minority 4%, and this applies to all Arab Gulf countries.Either if you mean that Achomi a dialect of the Iranian language spoken by the Persian minorities in the Arabian Gulf, yes you correct Anyway there is no difference all people are equal
