Similarities Between Persian and Urdu

In this language challenge, two Urdu speakers from Pakistan, Rabia and Sara, compete against two Persian speakers from Iran, Shiva and Shahrzad.
We explore the similarities between the two languages with a list of words, phrases, and sentences. There are many similarities between the two languages, but are they similar enough to be intelligible to one another?

Persian (Farsi) and Urdu are both Indo-European languages and are both classified as Indo-Iranian. Persian is an older language, primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as other parts of the Middle East, Central and South Asia. Urdu, however, is a relatively newer language, created in the late Middle Ages along with Ottoman Turkish, and Chagatai, as a new Islamic literary languages modeled after Persian. They are regarded as "structural daughter languages" of Persian. Modern Standard Urdu is a Persianised and standardised register language of the Hindustani language. It is the official national language and lingua franca of Pakistan. In India, it is one of the official languages recognized in the Constitution of India, having official status in the five states of Jammu and Kashmir, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand, as well as the national capital territory of Delhi. The Persian language has also led to the formation of several newer languages in West Asia, Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia. For centuries prior to the British colonization, Persian was widely used as a second language in the Indian subcontinent.
Note: To the concerned viewers, our Pakistani friends in this video also had tea, they finished theirs prior to recording and left their cups in the living room.

Persian is taught in many Pakistani schools, my mother is fluent in persian and my grandmother was iranian from Isfahan but her family later moved to Multan Pakistan. My grandfather was a baloch as well hence I can understand balochi as well as some parts of Persain. My Fathers mothers side however were Indian rajput who moved to Pakistan after partition and my fathers father was an arab hence my father is fluent in fousca arabic and since he lived in KPK he can speak pashto and learnt farsi as well. And also since we live in Lahore now, Punjabi is also in our dictonary. After saying all of this, I just realised I come from a very linguistic family and I am very proud of that. Lots of love from Pakistan to Iran💖

@@mosawerarianfar9341 unfortunately Iranian Persian are most ignorant of Parsi language. For your education, Pashto, Tajiki, Uzbek, Hindi, Urdu, Turkey, Kurdi, Azeri, Dari and Parsi are all one language that called Persian. The differences are the tones, dialects and pronunciations. We Afghans understand fluently Urdu, Hindi, Uzbek, Tajiki Pashto and Kurdi because our Dari Parsi is more mixture of old Parsi and new Parsi. Where is Iranian Parsi speakers have difficulties understand others because they have been isolated in Iran. We clearly see in this video that these two Iranian girls have difficulty understanding the very basic Dari/Parsi words that the two Pakistani girls are saying.

Arabic is the ancient root language of this tropical region, which dates back from prehistoric tribal era of the past Arab tribes. Tropical deserts have taught Arabs the patience and contentment since past tribal Arab cultures, which is reflected in all Prophets of this tropical region from Noah to Ibrahim to Moosa to Eisaa & to Mohammed. All these Prophets were white brown of the tropical complexion. Arabic language is the ancient and root of the regional languages. I am not an Arab. Our laws of conserving forest, greenery, mountains, deserts etc to its unexploited natural order is actually a compulsion from Nature to maintain life form to its Natural state & order,, implicitly. For biological life form, there is no substitute to the Nature. We'are devastating Nature by building Industrial Continents. Moral: Conserve Nature & Primitive Cultures.

Irfan Ahmad Wani You're absolutely right. I definitely want to do videos involving the Kashmiri language. The only reason we haven't already is because I don't know any fluent Kashmiri speakers in Toronto. I know Kashmiris who were born here and they don't speak fluent enough to participate in these challenges. If you know anyone who speaks fluently in Toronto and would like to participate in a future video, please contact us on Instagram since KZbin comments can easily get missed.

8:10 “piyaz” specifically means “white bean salad” (with chopped onions) in Turkish. Although when I hear it, I only think about the beans not anything else :)

[@ArniPara]

Here's a quick (OK, on reflection, not so quick) thing about Farsi and Urdu. The way voewels are pronounced in Urdu goes closer to Hindi. So, even when the word is written exactly in the same way as in Farsi, Urdu will pronounce it differently. For example, بلند. In Farsi it will be pronounced as BOland (land pronounced like the English word land). In Urdu it will be pronounced as BUland (land pronounced like the land in EngLAND). اردو is written in exactly the same way, but becomes Ordoo in Farsi and Urdoo in Urdu. There's a set logic to what vowel in Farsi becomes what vowel in Urdu and then the game becomes much much simpler. I admit it might be a more fun game not knowing this though :) As for the word Baran, it's in a famous song I'm sure all Pakistanis would know - Dama dum mast qalandar. It says "Panjawa mein baran aai bhala jhulelalan".

[@omairkhan4747]

In that song, the word is not baran.. it is balaa(n).. it is a Punjabi word that means fire up/ light up.. so the poet is saying that 4 lamps are already being lighted there and I am going to light up the fifth one..

[@ArniPara]

[@meehanparast]

That's because you're Iranian yourself. The word "Iran" comes from the word "Aryan", Iran means land of Aryans. A large portion of Pakistan is made up of ethnic Iranian people. The main language of that region was Persian until the British Empire intentionally changed it to break the link between our two regions.

[@meehanparast]

+Aryan Warrior "Persia" was the name Westerns called Iranians since the time of ancient Greece. Iranians always called themselves Iranians, this is not a new thing. There were also Aryan tribes which moved to India, hence the similarities in ancient culture, however the ancient Aryan tribes in India predominantly intermixed with the local non-Aryan Indians producing a hybrid race but you can still find many pure Aryans in India.

[@meehanparast]

+Aryan Warrior You may be correct, the exact origin of Aryans is a disputed subject anyway and it's not relevant to my point, and yes there are also many non-Aryans and mixed people in Pakistan as well since it is a heterogeneous country like India but as I said in my original comment "A large portion" of Pakistan is still Aryan if not pure then at least predominantly. Pakistan has little to no Arabs though since there has never been a large mass migration of Arabs in that region.

[@meehanparast]

+Aryan Warrior The original invading Arab army did not even reach 20,000 in number, it then gradually grew as they converted non Arab locals and had them join their ranks. There were many people who immediately converted and joined ranks with the invading Arabs. After conquest the Arabs were mainly in charge of the military and administration. There is no recorded historical mass migration of Arabs in these regions and any small amount of immigration would have been absorbed into the local population by now to the point of being irrelevant genetically. Also correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there a significant population exchange between Pakistan and India after the division of that region?

Urdu and pure Hindi are fake languages - the real language was HINDUSTANI derived from khari boli which was spoken in the middle-ages in UP. Just as the English colonialist used to converse with the locals like - "Tumhe kya problem hai", the Mughal colonialist used to converse with the locals like - "Tumhe kya takleef hai". Only the vocabulary - 'takleef' is replaced as all the grammar and composition of HINDUSTANI language comes from Sanskrit and vocabulary from Sanskrit, Persian and a bit of Turkish and Arabic. In the above sentence - the words tumhe, kya and hai comes from Sanskrit. If you start conversing in English by replacing the English vocabularies with the Urdu vocabularies like "What is your takleef?", "What are you khaying?" and "Don't bol me this." and call it a new language called "Uinglish" then it won't really become the new language. By replacing more and more of Hindustani vocabularies derived from Sanskrit and replacing it with Arabic, you are not helping the language evolve. How would you say - "Tumhara naam kya hai", "Tum kaha ja rahe ho", "Tum kab aaoge", "Mujhe kal kaam pe jana hai". There is not a single foreign vocabularies in the above sentences - all are derived from Sanskrit.
