Iran-Pakistan Cultural Exchange | Food, Language, Names, National Anthems, and More

In this episode we are doing more than just similarities between two languages, we are also going to discuss a few other things we share in common. In addition, we have an interesting surprise for you at the end. This is the first time that I, Bahador, will be one of the participants in the video, along with my wife, Shahrzad as the Persian speakers. Sara will be the moderator, while Ayesha and Iman will be the Urdu speaking participants. Mahtab, as a Persian speaker, will be part of this video as well when we reveal the surprise.

Persian also known by its endonym Farsi (فارسی) and Urdu (اُردُو‬) 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.

Thank you brother! As an Iranian, I want you to know the bond between our nations is deep, it doesn't matter who is in the government, prior to these Mullah fanatics taking over Iran in 1979, as you said Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan? Did you know that Iran during the time of the Shah had stamps created to honor Pakistan? There was a very close cultural bond! Believe me when I say that is deep. I hope you can understand us and not support this current fanatical theocracy that is basically occupying our land! We need to regain our glory again!

[@kamilkashaf2766]

Pakistan is a country that is split between Indo-Aryan and Iranian cultures (which in of themselves are linked based Indo-Iranian migrations) on either sides of the river Indus so we obviously share a lot in common with our neighbors on either side. Almost all of present day Pakistan, including western Punjab is mentioned in the Avesta as part of the Zoroastrian homeland and later on, many parts of Pakistan came under Achaemenid rule and subsequent Greek conquest. Also, the areas in Pakistan situated west of the river Indus (65% by land area) speak some form of Iranian language indigenously such as Pashto, Balochi, Ormuri, Wakhi. Infact, Pashto is descended from the language family within Iranian languages that is closest to the Avestan language. And then of course there is the larger Sistan Balochistan region that has shared borders between Pakistan, Iran and Southern Afghanistan. qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-bda6bde7c1b4bf89ed480f63c4ba98a9

@@fabeltjeskrantlezer5225 You are from Suriname which is why you only have a decontextualised reinterpretation of what it's like to be a Pakistani at best. Not to mention you are not even from that region making your claim to Pushtun heritage even more dubious. Just because your name is Khan and you feel closer to Indian heritage which you have anyway, does not mean that everyone with the same name would feel that way. Pushtuns speak Eastern-Iranian languages indigenously and most likely have Scythian origins. The closest languages to Pashto are Yagnobi and Ossetian and Pashto is a direct descendent of the Avestan language so it is very much part of the Iranian heritage. Pakistani's West of the River Indus (65% by land area) speak some form of Iranian language INDIGENOUSLY. Pakistan is 2000km west of Bihar remember. We have a whole avenue of Zoroastrian, Achaemenid, Greek and other history that is practically unknown to Bihar. And of course the Sistan basin and Balochistan are shared with Iran and Afghanistan. Pakistan is where the Indo-Aryan and Iranian spheres meet on either side of the River Indus, and we are blessed to have a heterogeneous, multidimensional heritage, and we celebrate both these aspects to our culture equally.

@@gauharvatsyayan lol in India you're being taught wrong history. Though I know urdu originated in the subcontinent that includes both India and Pakistan. There was no India before 1947. It was called the subcontinent. The east of the indus valley I mean. But urdu came into being by the interaction between the local people who spoke hindi and the Persian and Arabic speaking people from outside. So it's the amalgamation of all these languages. I bet you can't understand Ghalib and Iqbal who wrote in pure literary urdu. That urdu is more similar to Persian than hindi. The basic structure grammar is hindi but the whole lot of vocabulary is Persian. I know because I have a masters degree in urdu as well as in English literature. I also have lots of experience with hindi. Their literary vocabulary is very different from each other. Indians can't understand urdu in written form and Pakistani can't understand hindi in written form. Just like sanskrit was created by the aryan invaders in the subcontinent, urdu was created by the Muslim invaders. We know the actual history unlike your hindutva fake history .

I guess the pattern that Urdu uses more formal Persian is similar to that of Japanese and Chinese. Most Chinese characters used in Japan are not words used in colloquial language but more in poetry or formal settings. Also, similarly how English uses Latin that isn't used much in everyday language. For example, comparing Spanish and English there's agua/aqua, dormir/dormant, etc. I always liked how Persian sounded so light haha

[@AshrafAnam]

Yeah, quite right. Urdu (or Hindavi as it was originally called) was born out of the influence of 12th-13th century Persian on the developing local Hindi dialects of the northern Indian subcontinent. I have noted a lot of Chinese and Japanese words with the same spelling also sound very different.

[@SiddharthSingh-tb3ii]

@Fahad Wasi Urdu is an Indian language and will always remain one. As you pointed out, Urdu is an amalgamation of those languages and so are all of the Indo-Iranian languages spoken in India (be it Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, etc.). We do not have an official language and all languages have a place in India. For instance, because Gujarati is only spoken in Gujarat, does not mean it is not an Indian language. Similarly, Urdu is as much of India's as any other Indian language. Also, Urdu existed way before Pakistan was created. In fact, Urdu was one of the first languages to have secular origins. If you do some research, you'll find that the earliest Urdu literature actually questioned religion. So your argument that Urdu is a language just of Muslims or Pakistan, is completely fallacious. I am not saying that Urdu is not a Pakistani language. All I am saying is that Urdu is as much of India's as it is of Pakistan.

@J0nesJr these are indo aryans yes but Iranic people are also another group of aryans. These Iranic people include pushtoons tajik kurds and other Iranic groups. There were two aryan groups who migrated from central Asia. One settled in the Iran that included Afghanistan and the entire north west of Pakistan where pushtoon and baloch live. The west of the indus valley was a part of Persian empire. While the other group migrated to the sub continent. Hence the groups you mentioned have aryan ancestry. Similarly another group of aryans migrated towards west i.e Europe. Hence the same aryan DNA in Europe as well. Iranic people have more aryan DNA than the groups you mentioned. All these people you mentioned and all the Iranic people i.e pushtoons baloch kurds tajiks and some Europeans have R1a1 haplogroup which is aryan DNA. You need to do some proper research regarding genetics. Read about aryan invasion theory. Iran itself means aryan. While the old name of Afghanistan was Aryana. I'm a pushtoon. Pushtoons have some of the highest R1a1 haplogroup in the world. The highest is in Polish people. Hence Polish people are also aryan. He said aryans not indo aryans. Aryan means pure aryans. Indo aryans means aryan who mixed with dravidians. Hence the groups you mentioned are indo aryans because they're mixed with the local Indians i.e dravidians. While Iranic people are not mixed with dravidians. So they're even more pure aryans.

Oh man i love this so much my heart actually feels warmer. I am from kashmir and in medieval times it was called ' Irani-i-sani' or little iran because of cultural affinity. And ofcourse Kashmiri has so many persian AND urdu words. Love this!!

[@prateexit]

I am from India and I recently learned Urdu, looking forward to get hold of Persian too in due course, given similarities in Vocabulary and Script. P.S. Would love to visit Iran and my neighbour nation soon

I love you to o my brother 😘😘😘😘

[@MultiSciGeek]

Bro how similar are Urdu and Hindi? I don't mean the colloquial informal speech, but the news & book language.

[@shaheerkhan1746]

@@MultiSciGeek The news and book language? I'd say the book language of Urdu is definitely different than Hindi. Probably the same case with Hindi. In Bookish Urdu, we use a lot more Persian and Arabic words.

[@ahmedbilal5554]

@@MultiSciGeek Hindi has a different script of writing, whilst Urdu is written in the nastaliq script, hindi has more Sanskrit words whilst Urdu has more Persian words, also I’ve noticed that Urdu is more poetic and formal language as well

@@MultiSciGeek On day to day speaking its just like American English and British English or Turkish and Azerbaijani or Spanish and Portuguese

[@AshrafAnam]

In India (at least in the northern half where Hindi is the lingua franca), Urdu is considered the most beautiful and poetic language and someone knowing or speaking Urdu is seen as very sophisticated and a patron of arts. Songs in Bollywood films are a modernized extension of the long-living tradition of Urdu poetry called "Sher o Shayari."

I’m Arabian but that was so interesting Even if none of their words is used in Arabic but they just sound like Arabic words

[@thesmallplateau]

Nadia Khan yeah I have noticed that too!

[@rukhsanazaidi629]

Nadia Khan LOL I think you’re thinking of Hebrew. Hebrew sounds very harsh and guttural. Arabic is very beautiful for the most part...well at least the dialects I’ve listened to.

Bahador, man what an amazing video and you truly have a soul of a great explorer! I say this because you decided to zoom in on an interesting dynamic 'Indus Valley' (modern day Pakistan) has shared for centuries upon centuries with Greater Iran culturally and linguistically. Even way before Islamic inspired central asian kings started conquering Indus Valley (and then move into mainland india) the region of Pakistan has been sharing culture and language with Greater Iran since the Achaemenid empire as Indus Valley was part of western and eastern satraps and aspects of Zoroastrianism were brought into indus valley when Aryans migrated there. All of this amazing history and connection between the two region of greater iran and indus valley was ignored when British conquered india and the indus valley was lumped together as part of 'British India'. Great video, enlightening for many people who think that "Pakistan is just like India". It will start a great conversation. Thank you for this.

Muneeb Rasool so true these ancient connections have been lost to politics and recent history anyway there is a direct blood connection between the land of the pure and regal aryan heartlands of Darius or Cyrus..

[@khan0491]

Muneeb Rasool Pakistan is a mix between Iran and India. Some Pakistanis have a culture closer to Iran. And some Pakistanis (like me) have a culture closer to India.

[@FoxtrotDeltazulu]

iran will win each and everytime when pakistan is compared with india. People want to be like iran we feel pride if we can say we are similar or we learnt from iranians. India is a huge country with so much diversity, only a few parts of northern india have influence similar to pakistan, but those parts were part of pakistan for 1000 years so yea those parts of india have similar influences.

This was a really good idea to change up the format of the video, it's breathed fresh life into the series by exploring deeper cultural links between nations, which are always fascinating to see. I also liked how the order of moderator has rotated, it's nice to see Bahador having a go. The cultural links regarding poetry and language are also strong between these nations, which was good to explore, uniting through culture. Great video.

[@arminius6506]

It's very interesting in Pakistan we use "Shujaa" as a name but Bahadur as a term. In Iran it's other way around you use Bahadur as a name and Shujaa as the term.

[@zamurdjan86]

We also use Bahadur as name.

[@blackflagsofpakistantheeas9109]

@@zamurdjan86 I believe Pustun use Bahadur, while Punjabis use Shuja. Like Shuja Singh and Bahadur khan
