Can Kurdish & Persian Speakers Understand Mazandarani?

[@BahadorAlast]

Hope you enjoy this week's episode as we feature the Mazandarani language for the first time! Mazandarani, known by its endonym as مازرونی (Mazaruni) is classified as a Western Iranian (Iranic) language, belonging to the Caspian branch, and thus sharing a lot in common with other Caspian languages such as Gilaki, Talysh, Deilami, and Semnani. Please follow and contact us on Instagram if you have any suggestions or if you speak a language that has not been featured before and would like to participate in a future video: instagram.com/BahadorAlast

If you learn their family names and the names of settlements they lived in the western coast of India, you will come across names like Kermani, Shirazi, Ispahani, Gilani, Zanjan, Sari, etc. Of course Parsis today have totally assimilated themselves within Indian society and forgotten their Persian language and other aspects of culture except their religion Zoroastrianism!

@@bhka6423 Different Parsis will tell different stories because they came to India from different parts of Iran at different times and periods. Yes it’s true many have adopted Indian names but there’s also many Parsis who have retained their Persian names. 1 very good example I can give you is the name Perizaad Zorabian, a small time Bollywood actress.

@Ardas Donemy Hey, this is misinformed. Reza Shah spoke Mazandarani and lived in his birthplace of Alasht, in Savadkooh of Mazandaran until he was in his late teens and joined the Qajar military. A majority of Mazandarani people are “Pan-Iranist”, meaming they are proud of the Iranian people. Even the Pan-Iranism movement was started by an Azeri and a Mazandarani together. Reza Shah loved and cherished all Iranian people and had plans to assimilate Armenia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kurdistan back into Iranian territory to help develop them. My family is from 2 villages over to Alasht, where Reza Shah was born. We frequently went to that village for Sizdahbedar. Please, do some research before you blindly mention unrelated facts.

Guys, I am fond of the toponomy of the Iranian states. And I noticed a very interesting detail. In Iran and in Eastern Tajikistan (Pamir), the -vand root is very common. I know that Iran has places like Alvand, Damavand and Merivand. Settlements and mountains with a similar name are found in my region, in the Pamirs. For example, in Darvaz and Vanj there are villages and mountains with the following names: Nulvand, Kaivand, Rovand, Van-van. Also in Wakhan there is the Zugvand area. Maybe a similar toponymy is found in other Iranian-speaking regions, but I have not met. What do you think this means? How are villages, cities and mountains with a similar name translated?

[@marmary5555]

You could be correct! Some Mazenderanis are said to have settled in the region from Greater Khorasan (present day Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan).

[@bublick76]

Yes, most of the Western Iranian peoples most likely migrated to the Middle East from the territory of Southern Tajikistan, Northern Afghanistan and Eastern Turkmenistan

[@Hermesborugerdian]

Vand is a suffix. In fact the Persian word for “Suffix” is literally “Pas-vand” which mean post-vein (branch/root/birth/origin). To this day most Lorish tribes have -vand at the end their tribes; Dalvand, Beyranvand, Sakvand or even many Persian surnames feature the same suffix. It’s most likely an Indo-European cogent with the prefix “Van”.

@@maxpayne3628 You're correct. I'm not denying what you have read. Even the Hindu rulers of Kashmir used Persian words extensively as their regimes were touching the boundaries of modern day Afghanistan, a bit of Iran, some parts of Turkey etc. So, yes the Kashmiri language has been highly influenced by Persian speakers. Ottoman Turkish also has had an influence because Turks mixed with the local people of rural side of Kashmir.

I had great difficulty with this one. Mazandarani is not very similar to Kurdish. I did get the words once he explained them himself, because we have those same words in Kurdish but they’re not pronounced the same way

[@marmary5555]

also, Parham speaks the Saravi dialect of Mazandarani which is quite easier to understand for someone who doesn't speak Mazandarani. So imagine if you had to hear the dialects of Ramsar, Amol, Babol, Firuz kuh, etc You wouldn't understand a word of it. Bottom line is, just because Mazandarani is a separate language, doesn't mean it should automatically be connected to Kurdish. So I wish people would stop assuming that it should be related to Kurdish, or understood by Kurds. Most Mazanderanis feel no particular connection to Kurds.

hamjavar might be originally hamjaar "هم جار", Ja'ar meaning up in Mazani and Gilaki languages. In villages on the hills (like Masooleh), neighbors would share roofs, or Ja'ar.

Another similar example is the village Javaherdeh "جواهرده" which was originally "Jordeh", Jor being the Gilaki variation of the same Jaar.

I think it would be nice if you could compare the Zaza language with Ossetian or some Pamir language, since the Zaza language, according to my observations, is the most independent northwestern Iranian language and has some similar vocabulary with the Ossetian and Pamir languages. Moreover, this vocabulary is absent in Persian or other Kurdish dialects. You can compare some similar words such as long (darg), heart (zerd, zur, zarday) and other similar words that sound similar to zazaki, Pamir or Ossetian

[@bublick76]

I wanted to add something. I think the lexical similarity of Zazaki with some Eastern Iranian gives us reason to believe that this particular language is a descendant of Parthian, which, as we know, was localized on the easternmost periphery of Western Iranian languages ​​and had an influence from the Saka-Massaget languages. By the way, the Pamir languages ​​themselves are descendants of the Sako-Massaget dialects. A number of scientists believe that the Pamiris who speak the North Pamir languages ​​(Rushan-Shugnan languages) may be the descendants of those Sako-Massagets who migrated to the Pamirs from the territory of southern Turkmenistan and Iranian Khorasan. There, the ancestors of the Pamirians could contact the Parthians. I think this explains a lot.
