Their numbers are ALMOST similar to Kurdish numbers, but I know we all share the same linguistic Indo-European heritage with each other. Lots of love ❤️ to Latvia 🇱🇻 and Lithuania 🇱🇹 ❤️and all Baltic people❣️♥️

[@ibrohimh9976]

The white Aryan invaders spread their language to the ancestors of the peoples of Zagros and modern Iran.

Their numbers have almost no connection with kurdish numbers. They seem similar, but they have no connection with each other.

Polish-Latvian similar word pairs: 🇵🇱 ogień 🇱🇻 uguns (fire) 🇵🇱 wilk 🇱🇻 vilks (wolf) 🇵🇱 śmierdzieć 🇱🇻 smirdēt (to stink) 🇵🇱 siano 🇱🇻 siens (hay) 🇵🇱 siać 🇱🇻 sēt (to sow) 🇵🇱 szyć 🇱🇻 šūt (to sew) 🇵🇱 śmiać się 🇱🇻 smieties (to laugh) 🇵🇱 lód 🇱🇻 ledus (ice) 🇵🇱 zima 🇱🇻 ziema (winter) 🇵🇱 śnieg 🇱🇻 sniegs (snow) 🇵🇱 bez 🇱🇻 bez (without) 🇵🇱 ziemia 🇱🇻 zeme (land) 🇵🇱 dym 🇱🇻 dūmi (smoke) 🇵🇱 jezioro 🇱🇻 ezers (lake) 🇵🇱 Zima bez śniegu 🇱🇻 Ziema bez sniega (Winter without snow)

[@minimodecimomeridio4534]

In Latin (more distantly related than Polish and Latvian): fire - ignis wolf - lupus (same root but barely recognizable) sow - semino sew - seco winter - hiems snow - nix land - humus smoke - fumus I may have forgotten to mark the long vowels. Sorry about that 🙂

Интересное совпадение целого предложения, хоть и маленького. Хотя сравнивая русский с латышским, мало знакомых слов найдёшь.

[@Riot076]

I especially love the words in Lithuanian that at first glance don't really look similar to the words in Polish meaning the same thing, but have some logic behind them that's tangible to me as a Polish speaker once I learn their meaning. For example the word "ruduo" meaning "autumn". In Polish it's "jesień", but "ruduo" makes perfect sense, 'cause it's very similar to the word "rudo", which is an adverb meaning "ginger" (as a colour, not a spice), or maybe the more fitting word here would be "russet"... which is the general, stereotipical colour of the landscape in autumn. "Mėnulis" is also a fun word, 'cause it - again - doesn't look like our word for "moon", which is "księżyc", maybe slightly closer to "miesiąc", which is an outdated word for moon, which currently means "month", BUT it's super easy to associate it with the werb "mienić się", meaning "to glitter", so in my mind the word for moon in Lithuanian sounds kinda like "the one that glitters" or sth like that. There's also the verb "žiūri" (that's 3rd person plural indicative I think), which technically looks nothing like Polish "patrzeć" (to look/stare), BUT a more archaic verb meaning the same thing in Polish, now used mostly by older people, not everywhere and mostly in a mocking manner would be "ziorać". There's the verb "mirti", meaning "to die", which may not look so similar at first glance, but shares the same stem, Polish just adds the prefix "u" to mark a change of state (from alive to dead) I think, making it "umierać"

Extraordinarily, despite a separation of centuries from when the India Aryan languages broke away from each other, and thousands of miles, I, as a speaker of an Indo European family language from northern India can clearly understand the numbers, and even some words from the text. Like at 1:25 it seems to me the Lithuanian word for status “padetis” is cognate to Sanskrit and Hindi ”Pad”, which means “status”, or “position” or “rank”. Status itself also has a cognate, with the word “stithi”, which means “situation”.

На слух одинаковы, но я думала, что они практически идентичны и по написанию, но оказалось, что два разных языка☺. Латышский больше похож на славянские, чем литовский. У литовского мне кажется сохранились более архаичные формы слов близкие и к изначальным праиндоевропейским, не зря он всегда находится в первом списке сравнения наряду с санскритом.

Латыши исторически были видимо в большем контакте со славянами, точнее с кривичами. Русские по-латышски переводятся как krievu

Wow! Do they sound so Slavic because of their relatiom to the Slavic languages, or is it a situation similar to Basque and Spanish, where they only sound similar due to geographical proximity?

[@Que-wh5ok]

The Baltic and Slavic languages used to be one whole, but separated a couple of thousand years before our era, so their similarities are quite understandable.

[@nasirdjedi8962]

@@Que-wh5ok it's not jus lexical simikarity though. Latvian's phonology and cadence sounds very Russian. I would have expected them to diverge in that respect, since ProtoBaltoSlavic was spoken several thousand years ago.

@@Que-wh5ok They separated 6/7 centuries ago, not thousands of years ago.

[@simeongorbunkov631]

Кто тебе сказал эту чушь? Славянские и балтские языки происходят от общего предка, который именовался балтославянским языковым континуумом, и разделились на балтскую и славянскую ветвь приблизительно 2000 лет назад. В виду отсутствия письменных источников той эпохи, мы можем его лишь реконструировать. Но с уверенностью можно сказать, что прабалтские этносы и праславянские на диалектном уровне различались уже тогда.

It’s true. First syllable only in Latvian, with so few exceptions I cannot even remember one. Besides, Latvian and the Finno-Ugric languages have many more similarities. Throughout history, Latvia has been tied closer to its Northern neighbours than Southern.
