assimilated for speaking the national language of my country, or for choosing one language over another? Your usage of the word "assimilate" isn't quite correct here. Azeri ethnic group are Iranians, even more Iranians than Persians, we have been on the Iranian plateau for 5 millennials, our language has changed from Azeri to Turkic, when we were assimilated by survival necessity to the invading Turkic tribes from 10th c to 16th c, when the assimilation was competed and the ancient Azeri language was no longer spoken. Just giving you examples on how to use the word. Remember there has been only one country which survived 5 thousands years since humanity got so advanced and organized that decided to invade far reaching lands and create empires. Iran has been located in the middle of East and West, and started the age of empires and even one can argue globalism.

Another nice video! I'm from Afghanistan and my language is Persian. My name is Ali, an Arabic name. but my family name is a persian word 'Danesh', which was mentioned in the video and means 'Knowledge'. this shows how these 2 languages have influenced each other. I want to add another point about differences between Arabic and Persian. It is not only 'Waw' or letter (و) that is pronounced differently between these languages. there are other letters too, and actually there are letters in Persian that there is no use of them because they are pronounced exactly same. For example in Arabic, we have four types of 'Z' and they are (ز، ض، ظ، ذ) and three types of 'S' and they are (س، ص، ث) and each of them are pronounced differently from each other. like the words (ثم and سم) are pronounced differently in Arabic (Sam and Tham). In persian, though we have all those letters, but we pronounce each of them similarly and they are exaclty like 'Z' and 'S'. just like the previous example (سم and ثم), we pronounce both of them as سم (sam). and we pronounce all of (ز، ض، ظ، ذ) as (ز) like 'Z' in English. and (ت ، ط) we pronounce as 'T' and also some other letters. Thanks you for the video!

[@adanesh]

@Deyvi :v Afghanistan and Iran belong to the same country for a long time. but now are separated. so now we cannot same Afghanistan people are Iranian. But, we speak the same language yes. only dialect and accents are different. and, in some parts of Afghanistan we have languages that Iran doesn't have. like Pashtoo. Also parts of Iran has some languages that Afghanistan doesn't have. like Lor and Kurdish languages.

[@asalesmaeeli4185]

I'm Persian and I can understand most Arabic words when they are written but when they speak I hardly get any cause of the accent. I think that's the education system's flaw cause instead of focusing on teaching us Arabic that we can actually use they taught us the grammar which is useless when you don't know the vocabulary and also our education was only based on books and no tapes or videos were involved in the process so it's not a big surprise. Both languages are beautiful and I love them both

As an Iranian, I should say that the number of words we recognise when hearing Arabs speak is actually very few. Also, the advantage that similarities offer when learning Arabic is very very small. Arabic is an extremely difficult language to learn due to its complex grammar and conjugation. Farsi, as you correctly mentioned, is far simpler due to various reasons.

[@duebel735]

Thanks, very nice explanation. One thing that is mentionable: For most of the arabic loan words there actually is a native persian version, which is either used in another context or not used often because it sounds antiquitated. For example you mentioned the word for "Name" which in native persian would be "Nam". In every day slang the word "Esm" is much much more common. But "Nam" is used nearly in 100% of formal correspondences like news, books or formulae. If you would ask someone on the street "Name to che ast?", he would definitely think you are a time traveller. And the same thing happens, when "Esm" is used in a formal context

[@tirdadkashani6690]

Fun fact all the Arabic adopted words in persian have lots of original persian replacements that people just don’t use as often. For example Instead of “sobh bekheir” (good morning) we have “bamdad khosh” which is completely different in sound cause it’s original Persian. We really should go back to using our own language more.

Just to add a few notes, many of the vocabulary that is assumed to be borrowed by persian from arabic are not borrowed, but they are persian words that became arabized. Also most of the borrowed vocabulary has persian equivalents, for example, "name" is "ism" in arabic and it's used in persian aswell, but the original persian word also exists and is used which is "Naam". Also another difference is that just like there are some persian sounds that arabs don't have there are arabic sounds that persians don't have.
