IRANIAN: SOGDIAN & YAGHNOBI

[@ami_nolove]

Hello everyone from Tajikistan! 🤍🇹🇯

What a great idea for a video. Watched with pleasure and gratefullness

[@daryush55]

The reading of the Rostam Fragment was done by Eran ud Turan / Nadeem Ahmad several years ago. It is probably not the most up to date rendering especially as at the time he didn’t have access to any recordings of Yaghnobi or any Pamiri languages.

[@vonPeterhof]

broke: calling Yaghnobi "the only living descendant of Sogdian" woke: calling Sogdian "Old Yaghnobi"

[@Davlavi]

Another great comparison and contrast.

[@KurtusCobainus]

It seems that about half of this comment section is trying to claim that their language is the closest in sound to Sogdian, and it's honestly kind of funny. Mfs have the Persian empire and stuff, so be happy please with what you have. We have no idea what the Sogdians really sounded like anyway, so who knows, but Yaghnobi will still be it's only official descendant no matter what.

Can I have a video about the Yaghnobi and Ossetian languages?

[@yaqubebased1961]

IMO, all speakers of Iranic languages should speak as if reading poetry. The music should never be forgotten. Why? Because all of our forebears were warrior poets who tamed and rode horses, hunting for their families and waging war in the names of their kings and gods, and indeed eventually the most glorious and _Xradmand_ of them realized the one and only truth that is _Xwādāi ī Xwādāiān,_ and the evil that is Υμι!ωυν, and thus trusted their sons with destroying it, given time. They loved us. They were truly Aryan (free) and happy, because they figured out the everlasting truth of Love (and thus, life). Their secret? Purity of faith, strength of will, and love for their kin, neighbors, lands, and above all, they possessed fatherly wisdom.

Sogdian sounds a lot like Proto-Germanic to me 😐

[@imrukiitoaoffire1908]

With the addition of /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ like sounds, but you are very much correct! It does have a very Proto-Germanic sound.

[@naturbursche5540]

Because the Scythians were speaking Germanic originally 😎

[@klinzatvorovich4503]

@@naturbursche5540 yes, of course, it's just an accent)))! imho

[@indianboy59]

Indo-European connection. At one point the Scythians also lived in the Modern-day parts of Ukraine where they may have interacted with the Eastern Germanics.

[@imrukiitoaoffire1908]

@@naturbursche5540 An interesting perspective, when you consider just how much actual Proto-Germanic itself was influence by native Paleo-European (Pre-Aryan/PIE) languages of the area, languages related to Etruscans. Whence how the word for gods is nigh identical in both Etruscan and Old Norse; Aesir, or something of that sort of spelling.

[@somedude6683]

Yaghnobi sounds a little bit like Pashto.

[@sriramnatarajan3335]

Sogdian has very similar rhythm and words to Sanskrit. Surprising how close early Indo-Iranian and Indo-Aryan languages were to each other.

[@rayanmoradi1189]

Interesting, to me it sounds like Sogdian sounds more closer to modern Kurdish, while Yaghnobi sounds more close to Persian/Dari. Not saying they actually are those languages, but just what their phonology reminds me of... My native language are Luri, Persian and I can understand Sorani well, that's how I can relate... Yaghnobi and Ossetian are the closest living languages to the old Scythian/Sakâ languages and dialects!

[@azizmurodhusenov]

Thanks for more useful information. Its notable to say my mother language is Yaghnobi. Please correct your pronunciations before to make reels and don't misspell words. Nearly i don't recognise my native language.

[@tuanacgl4697]

@@billsidiqi57 (My native language isn't English, so sorry for the way I express myself.) There are many languages spoken in India and the bordering neighbouring countries. What do you mean, there is no such thing as "Indian language" when the majority of the population speaks Hindi? If you are from India and you speak another language, that means you still speak a language that belongs to one of these language families- Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Dravidian, Austroasiatic, right?

It's terrible that these languages were lost to Turko-Mongol Tatar savages from Siberia. It would be great if Indo-European tongues survived to this day....

[@whitewater9963]

Yaghnobi isnt lost. It’s still spoken in Tajikistan, and is the descendant of Sogdian. Moreover the Turks have been living with Iranians and other Indo Europeans for thousands of years as neighbours and have both influenced each other. Many Turkic peoples both ancient and modern had Iranian lineage and viceversa. For example Ashina who was the leader of the Gokturks is said to have been partly a Scythian (Iranian) - his name is actually Iranic not Turkic. Moreover Proto Iranians were living in central Asia which is the homeland of Turks, so they have been heavily influenced by Turks. The line between Turks and Iranians (esp east Iranians) and other Indo Europeans (Tocharians) is actually really blurred - so calling one a savage is calling the other a savage as well.

[@Tsukonin]

Yeah, but how do you think indo-european spread so far and wide and so rapidly? By being "savages" exactly the same way the Turko-Mongols did thousands of years later.

[@naturbursche5540]

@@whitewater9963 From my linguistic research, most Scythian word samples we are left with (mostly from Pontic Scythian though, but also central Asia) are actually Germanic. A few words seem to be of Turkic etymology and even less words (and mostly personal names) seem to be of Iranian origin. Keep in mind the ancient authors generally equated Scythians and Goths. I have a theory that Turkic languages come from a "kentum language", Proto-Germanic to be specific. I wonder how this all ties together, but I guess the historic reality must be very complex.
