Similarities Between Hindi and Filipino

Despite belonging to different language families, Hindi and Filipino (Tagalog), have a lot of similar words. We will showcase some of the commonalities between the two languages which come from the ancient language of Sanskrit. The language challenge will be between Krishnan, a Hindi speaker from India, and Joan, a Filipino speaker from the Philippines.
Hindi (हिन्दी) is a standardized and Sanskritized register of the Hindustani language. Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, is one of the official languages of India, Hindi is the fourth most-spoken first language in the world, after Mandarin, Spanish and English.
Tagalog is an Austronesian language, which is spoken as a first or a second language by the majority of the people of the Philippines. Tagalog is officially named Filipino in its standardized form and along with English it is an official language in the Philippines. There are over a hundred different languages native to the Philippines, and Tagalog is the one with the highest number of speakers. After Tagalog, the largest native language spoken in the Philippines is Cebuano, followed by numerous other native languages, some of the largest being Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Waray, Bikol, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Maranao, Tausug, Maguindanao, Zamboangueño, Karay-a, and Surigaonon.

It's obvious that we're not isolated. Our people are cousins of Malays and Indonesians and we can also see it trough language similarities that we have connection to Indonesian/malay and pacific languages (Because Malay, Philippine, Formosan, and Malagasy are Austronesians). We have also connections to Hindi specifically through sanskrit words and also chinese specifically Hokkien, Spanish and English through loanwords.

[@spectrfox7661]

@@BossGokaiGreen I think it's a good idea but there is less than enough direct similarities to make a video out of it in my opinion, there's enough for both people (The japanese person and Filipino person) to might be able to understand what each word means, but there is not enough to make an actual video that shows the direct or indirect sharing of the two countries. Perhaps it would be better to include this in a larger video, like Filipino compared to South Chinese and with other East Asian languages that would have shared some things with Tagalog. Things like Chaa are just directly from Chinese which in terms of comparing even South Korean and Japanese, are very commonly having chinese roots in these words rather than just with each other. It would be interesting if Bahador Alast would make even more good research to do a video like this but as of now I don't think those are enough to prove a relationship.

Hindi derived from word hindu which invaders from middle East started calling Indians we called it devnagari lipi... Bhasa=language, hindi=devnagari The word Hindi doesn't exist in our old scripts as List of Ancient Indian Scripts All Indian scripts are derived from Brahmi. There are three main families of scripts: Devanagari; Dravidian; and Grantha. There are many languages in the Ancient Indian script, such as Sanskrit, Pali, and Hindi. List of Ancient Indian Scripts There are many languages in the Ancient Indian scripts, such as Sanskrit, Pali, and Hindi. Not many people know these languages anymore. But, it’s very important to understand it because it can teach important stories that were written in these languages that no one tells anymore. These stories are related to the gods and goddess, culture, and stories about India. In India, majority of languages are written in Brahmi-derived scripts such, as Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Odia, Eastern Nagari - Assamese/Bengali, etc., except Urdu which is written in a script from Arabic, and Santhali use independent scripts. List of Ancient Indian Scripts 1. Indus Script It refers to the script used by the people belonging to the Indus valley civilisation. It has not been deciphered yet. Some people have argued that this script was the predecessor of the Brahmi script. This script is an example of Boustrophedon style as in one line it is written from left to right while in others it is written from right to left. 2. Brahmi Script Brahmi is the originator of most of the present Indian scripts, including Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, and Malayalam etc. It developed into two broad types in Northern and Southern India, in the Northern one being more angular and the Southern one being more circular. It was deciphered in 1937 by James Princep. Its best examples are found in the rock-cut edicts of Asoka. 3. Kharosthi Script It is the sister script and contemporary of Brahmi. It was written from right to left. It was used in the Gandhara culture of North-Western India and is sometimes also called the Gandhari Script. Its inscriptions have been found in the form of Buddhist Texts from present clay Afghanistan and Pakistan. 4. Gupta Script It is also known as the Late Brahmi script. It was used for writing Sanskrit in the Gupta period. It gave rise to the Nagari, Sarada and Siddham scripts which in turn gave rise to the most important scripts of India such as Devanagari, Bengali etc. 5. Sarada Script It was a Western variant of the Gupta script. It evolved into Kashmiri and Gurmukhi (now used for writing Punjabi) scripts. It was also used for writing Sanskrit. It is now rarely used. 6. Nagari Script It was an Eastern variant of the Gupta script. It is an early form of the Devanagari script. It branched off into many other scripts such as Devanagari, Bengali, and Tibetan etc. It was used to write both Prakrit and Sanskrit. 7. Devanagari Script It is the main script at present to write standard Hindi, Marathi and Nepali as well as Santhali, Konkani and many other Indian languages. It is also used presently to write Sanskrit and is one of the most used writing systems in the world. It is composed of Deva meaning, (God) and Nagari meaning, (city), which meant that it, was both religious and urbane or sophisticated. 8. Kalinga Script Kalinga was the ancient name of Odisha and this script was used to write an ancient form of Oriya. It is visually close to the original Brahmi. Oriya language presently uses a different script, which has been derived from Bengali script. 9. Grantha Script It is one of the earliest Southern scripts to originate from Brahmi. It branched off into Tamil and Malayalam scripts, which are still used to write those languages, It is also the predecessor of the Sinhala script used in Sri Lanka. A variant of Grantha called Pallava was taken by Indian merchants in Indonesia, where it led to the development of many South-East Asian scripts. It was used in Tamil Nadu to write the Sanskrit Granthas and hence, was named Grantha. 10. Vatteluttu Script It was a script derived from the Brahmi and was used in the Southern part of India. It was used to write Tamil and Malayalam. It removed those signs from Brahmi, which were not needed for writing the Southern languages. Presently, both Tamil and Malayalam have moved on to their own Grantha derived scripts. 11. Kadamba Script It is a descendant of Brahmi and marks the birth of the dedicated Kannada script. It led to the development of modern Kannada and Telugu scripts. It was used to write Sanskrit, Konkani, Kannada and Marathi. 12. Tamil Script It is the script used to write the Tamil language in India and Sri Lanka. It evolved from Grantha, the Southern form of Brahmi. It is a syllabic language and not alphabetic. It is written from left to right. According to the epigraphers- All Indian scripts are derived from Brahmi. There are three main families of scripts: 1. Devanagari, which is the basis of the languages of northern and western India: Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, Dogri, Panjabi, etc. 2. Dravidian which is the basis of Telugu, Kannada 3. Grantha is a subsection of the Dravidian languages such as Tamil and Malayalam, but is not as important as the other two Now the one has knowledge of Etymology will understand what I mean....

[@samlouis5219]

@Singh Anmol preet Yes, very true indeed. Multilingual countries have this struggle of uniting the different languages with one language while preserving all the other languages. I can say that since my own language is in rapid decline because most parents would prefer to talk to their children in English or Tagalog/Filipino now while the native language slowly dies at that generation. The good thing is that these languages are now used and taught in schools at the primary levels which is not done before (education is mainly in written English and spoken Filipino). 🙂

Before the Philippines became a Spanish colony, Arab, Indian and Chinese traders have long been in con5act with the natives.

Bahasa Indonesia has both Arabic and Sanskrit-originated words because of the balanced influence of Islam and Hinduism.

[@dickyadhadyanto4986]

Don't forget the "Baan/Baane = Pana", In Indonesian it's "Panah" and "Tara = Tala", In Indonesian it's "Antara" while the term "Nusantara" came from 2 words which are "Nusa = Island" and "Antara = Between" which litteraly mean "Inter-Island" for our Archipelago. Most of the words are understandable in Indonesia because our old Hindu/Buddhist kingdoms are responsible for exporting Sanskrit to southern region of Philippines.

[@samlouis5219]

@Dicky Adhadyanto I just want to clarify, “antara” came from Sanskrit अन्तरा (antara) which means “between”. Our word for it is "antala" which means delay (in other words, the time /between/ two events). The Filipino word “tála” (star) directly came from Sanskrit तारा (taara) which means star and is even related to the English words “star” and “asterism”. They’re kind of different. Our shared words are "bintang" and "bituin" which Joan mentioned and both are Austronesian. 🙂

Bahador Alast just love this! As a Pakistani I was able to understand most of them. Most of these these words are found in Urdu too especially Urdu songs - Dukh (sadness), Mukh (face), the Punjabi word for face is Mukhra which I am sure derived from the same root, Guru (Master), Moti (Pearl), Motiya in Tagalog is Jasminum sambac flower in Urdu and Hindi, Katha (Story), Hina/Heena is used in Urdu for the dye prepared from the plant Lawsonia inermis, Baan (bow and arrow, as in the song Nainoun ki Baan ki reet Anokhi), Tara (Star), Bhag (run). Languages are not rigid, but fluid, and many people especially poets/lyricists took good advantage of the fluidity of languages. For example - the following Pakistani song from 1953 Gumnaam film is tilted more towards Hindi/Sanskrit - Chandi ki ek jhankaar par - koi bik gaya sastey moul! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJPJkpaamsmMfpo and the following song from 1962 Pakistani film Azra, is heavily tilted towards Persian, even the music. Jaan-e-Bahaaran, Rakshe-e-Chaman which many Indians won't be able to understand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ndgZWkh76Wr6M Urdu is a beautiful combination of Sanskrit and Persian. If you take one of them out, Urdu falls apart.

Nice videos! How come when I see Pakistanis from a generation ago they don't seem as religious as the Pakistanis today.

[@shawns5599]

@@mahirhaxhiu7846 No offense taken! Actually whatever you said is true! Pakistan was quite liberal from 1940s - 1970s - alcohol was allowed, parties, clubbing, relaxed censor policies in films etc For example, when my mom was in school in 1950s, boys and girls used to study and play together what was known as co-education. Then they started to make girls and boys sit in separate rows, then in separate class rooms and then they separated them in separated schools altogether by 1980s/1990s. In Iran the Islamic revolution started in 1979, at the same time Pakistan was taken by dictator Zia-ul-Haq who started to Islamize/Wahabize Pakistan. Its after effects can still be felt to this day with the persecution of minorities, creation of Taliban, breakdown of Pakistani Film Industry (Lollywood) etc. But for the last decade or so, Pakistan is slowly recovering. Pakistan can be roughly divided into two parts - Western parts have more in common with Iran and Afghanistan and are traditionally more conservative and religious. Eastern parts have more in common with India and are traditionally more liberal. They are still religious, but not as conservative. I hope the Golden Era of Pakistan from 1950s-1970s comes back.

[@doctorbrash5068]

These are great experiments. India’s ancient Sanskrit influenced so many languages in South and South East Asia. So there are random similarities in vocabulary. For example, Indonesian language is called Bahasa, and Bhasha is Sanskrit/ Hindi for “language”. I once asked a Cambodian what’s the word for Peace in his language and he mentioned a phrase that was a version of Shanti (which is Sanskrit/ Hindi for peace). Generally, Hindi has two main varieties. One is Hindustani which is much closer to Urdu and carries lots of Persian loan words. Second version (promoted by conservative Hindus) is Sanskritised Hindi which deliberately excludes Urdu/ Persian vocabulary in order to claim more indigenous status. Sanskrit vocabulary is rooted in ancient Hindu scriptures (Vedas) and religious epics with their popular stories (about Rama, Krishna, etc). You may do an interesting comparison between Sinhalese (Sri Lankan) and Hindi. Sinhalese is deeply influenced by Sanskrit loan words. If you speak Sanskritised Hindi a Sinhalese-speaking Sri Lankan will recognise a lot of the words, but switch to Hindustani/ Urdu and an average Sri Lankan will be quite lost.

[@shubharaghuram]

First off, your videos are interesting. Coming to this specific video, the young ladies pronunciation of words in taglog was so so similar to the south indian language kannada(also the similar meaning - sanskrit I beleive is the root) which I speak. Kannada which by the way has script near similar to the language Telugu. And I guess there is a comment above mine, possibly telugite who says it sounds similar to telugu more than hindi.

7:00 - "Katha" in Tagalog is more or less means "writing", but this term is not used as much, depending on the situation probably. But we do alternate this with the synonimous "panulat", and its corresponding rootword "sulat", which means "to write" but can also mean within that context a "written letter", "penmanship", among others. Once conjugated, "sulat" and "katha" will become different yet related words, taking on new meanings. :)

It's closest translation I think would be "to author". Kathang-isip means imagination. So maybe I would guess it also translates as "to invent"

Most of them are Filipinos and we only encounter few which is not, normally that one who answered the phone are the husbands or co-workers. We can distinguished them by their accent and to make it sure that they are Filipino we asked them like "Are you Filipino?". I heard my colleague asked the person he dialed in UK and my colleague said.. Sir, Are you Filipino? and the other person on the other line says "Hindi" and my colleague suddenly laugh and said, Sir, you are joking me hahaha...

Ohh!! As someone who speaks hindi and indonesian this is very interesting! It seem like sanskrit goes to philipines first, then to indonesia, because we also have those sanskrit derived words but it’s closer to tagalog more than to hindi.

[@shekharaakula6233]

WHOA! AWESOME!

[@hrishirajrabha5415]

It must have spread through Hinduism, as we know Hinduism prevailed in almost all if not all ASEAN nation once. Testimony of the fact Angkor Wat in Cambodia is the largest Hindu Temple in the world. Phillipines it must have been similar, although there's a vast ocean in between. Certainly there were contacts or a dynasty which practiced Hinduism. And the Sankskrit became a lingua franca.

Rabha, did you know about the LCI-Laguna Copperplate Inscription? Hint: it contains Old Tagalog, Old Sanskrit, Old Malay, Old Javanese with the usage of an Indian calendar 🗓 which is the Saka calendar

[@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743]

@- king- I know that Sanskrit is a very old language so why accuse me of something that I didn’t do or say? Did you read my comment carefully?

@@BossGokaiGreen nice observations but PAN is actually from Spanish Pan De Sal - Bread with Salt. idk tho, maybe the japanese also got it from the spaniards.

Please do more! There's still many languages Filipino borrows from: Malay, Sanskrit, Tamil, PERSIAN, Arabic, Japanese, Nahuatl, Hokkien

[@Elijah-oc4km]

Japanese?

[@Variouscartoontopic]

Really not Japanese though.

[@raphoquendo7576]

The similarities are amazing ☺️

[@muizrahim861]

The Malay language has similar words with Tagalog. Witness - Saksi Sadness/Sorrow/Misery - Duka Face - Muka Teacher - Guru Pearl - Mutiara Virtuous/Good deed - Budi Word/ Say - Kata Inferior / Insult - Hina Between - Antara Divide / Split - Bahagi Start - Mula Hope - Harapan. However, there is a sentence in Malay of "Don't give up" which mean " Jangan berputus asa".

[@erlanggaalamsyah2481]

Saksi, Duka , Muka, Guru, Mutiara , Budi/Budiman , Hina , Fana ,Bagi/bagian = Indonesian

This is very interesting and one of the best educational channel on youtube. I watched all the filipino video now and I wonder if you will do filipino with arabic or japanese and other language because in school we learn that we take some of their word... all the best from philippines :)

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you! Definitely plan on doing that in the future :)

Pannai in Northern Sumatra (Indonesia) was once a thriving Buddhist kingdom of the Sri Vijayan Empire. It was attacked and replaced by the Hindu Chola Dynasty (from the island of Java). During the Chola takeover, some rulers of Pannai left with their constituents and settled in new lands. One of these islands was part of Seludung of which they named as Panay (Philippines), in honor of their land of origin. Some of these people did not stay in Panay, but moved to establish new villages in Kota Selurong (Manila), Batangan (Batangas), even all the way up to the Gulf of Lingayen, which they called Bulinaw (anchovy fish that they use to ferment in salt). Eventually, the Chola Dynasty was replaced by the Majapahit Empire-an empire more tolerant with all beliefs (Buddhism, Hinduism, Animism). The people of this empire spread and established territories in Sulot (Sulu), as well as in other islands including Sugbu (Cebu). In fact, it is believed that the founder of Sugbu is Sri Lumay or Sri Lumaya or Sri Lumayas (One Who Freed Himself, He Who Freed Himself, or He Who Fled). All of these occurred before Islam nor Christianity appeared in that part of the world! Kota Seludong/Selurong (Manila) on the other hand became part of the Majapahit empire. The last of the Majapahit ruler in Manila was Rajah Avijirkaya who was then defeated by the Bruneian Muslim commander Rajah Ahmad. *Notice the word Sri/Shri/Shree/Sree is an honorific title in Sanskrit denoting wealth or nobility which is the origin of Filipino marker word “Si”.

Hi Bahador, I am a Bengali speaker, from India. Would love to see Aakash in more videos. Bengali language is not only Sanskrit based but has adopted words from Persian and other East Asian languages as well.

[@Variouscartoontopic]

Bengali is one of the most unattractive languages on earth

[@gallegojake]

Sri Vishayan Prince came and settle and build his kingdoms and brought his language and culture, prior to the arrival Islamic missionaries and the Hispanic takeover. You may find Hindi words aswell in the Cebuano/"Shebuano" language aswell even in the Waray, Bicol, Panay and other parts of the archipelago.

[@troillandford7679]

[@VK-zc2un]

The Hindi speaker tries to sound smart but he overly-limited and narrowed his definitions of words. The host and the Filipina girl were spot on and matched a lot of conjugated! Great video!

[@obettargaryen7994]

I see Joan, I clicked the thumbnail. Gosh! I have a huge crush on her! I gush everytime I see her. Lol Apart from that, I really like this channel. I'm learning a lot!

From my perspective as Cambodian and Thai speaker, I can understand around 80% of those words. Hope one day, there will be a video of Cambodian (Khmer) with Sanskrit, Hindi or Thai.

[@chonchankakada2406]

Some of this word also has in khmer but a little different in pronunciation. Saksei mukh tukh puthi katha dara

[@rohitchaoji]

One of the most interesting things I notice in these videos is how phonemes change with language and how it can make understanding or speaking foreign words with the same origin a little difficult. Such as, I noticed that Filipino "h" and "kh" are not that easy for me to differentiate when a native speaker is speaking with good flow of words.

[@samlouis5219]

Tagalog has less phonemes than Sanskrit so a lot of the sounds get "simplified". For example, Tagalog doesn't have aspirated consonants like "kh" and "bh" so they get broken down into separate syllables. "Mukh(a)" becomes "muk-ha" while "bhaag(a)" becomes "ba-ha-gi". Meanwhile, Malay/Indonesian completely drops the aspiration: "mu-ka" and "ba-gi". 🙂
