Similarities Between Ossetian and Persian

In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Ossetian and Persian. The Ossetian people are an Iranian ethnic group indigenous to the Caucasus. They are the only Christian-majority Iranian group today. Their language, Ossetian, is an Eastern Iranian language. The Ossetians are the descendants of the Alans, an ancient Iranian nomadic pastoral people. Many of the Alans migrated westwards along with various Germanic tribes and eventually assimilated into different European nations, but a small number of those who remained and survived the Mongol invasions are said to be the modern Ossetians. The Alans spoke an Eastern Iranian language which in turn evolved into the modern Ossetian language that shares a lot of similarities with other Iranian languages.

The Persian language (Farsi) is also an ancient language which has had a huge amount of impact on other languages and cultures, mainly the Middle East, as well as Central and South Asia. Classified as one of the Western Iranian languages, Persian holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Persian has strongly influenced many different languages, including numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent. Persian has a long history of literature and it was notable for being the first language in the Muslim world to break through Arabic's monopoly on writing. The Persian language has also influenced the Arabic language, although the impact of Arabic on Persian has been higher. But the influence of Persian in the Muslim world has been strong since the early days of Islam. It was even established as a court tradition instead of Arabic under many ruling Muslim dynasties.

I am American of German descent, but a native English speaker. I learned the Persian language in the US Military and love speaking Farsi and learning about Persian and Iranian languages. I found this segment with Ossetian to be very interesting. I am wondering if the Ossetian number for "8", 'Farast'; came from a combination of فرا and هشت. This would make sense to me as an alternate way to denote "more than eight", e.g. "nine". Even as distant as German is from Persian, there are still some German words that are PIE cognates with their Persian counterparts, like "trüg" دروغ or Joch یوغ ! Keep up the great content!

[@sagavanyellonti5663]

“Farast” literally means “after eight” in Ossetian and it stands for 9. There is another word for this numeral with more common Iranic root “næw”, but nowadays you can find it in archaic texts or in multiroot words like “næwdæs” which means 19.

If Ossetians ara a branch of the Alans, therefore they are the last link to the nomadic Scythians of the Antiquity that still exist.

That's because "khabar" is an Arabic loanword, and most cultures in the region borrowed words from it. Although I'm surprised that Ossetian has it, since they're more in the Christian cultural sphere (for example, I doubt Georgians have it)

[@ironcladstranger4559]

Such an interesting video

[@alexandersohn569]

Very interesting, in Romanian "habar" means "to have knowledge of something". So when we say "i don't know" we sometimes "N-am habar" ("I don't have habar"). The meaning of word "habar" itself is unknown to us, but only used in the context it makes sense. Also in Romanian "Ce" (che) means same as in Persian چه "what". So "Che habar" sounded very Romanian

[@alexandersohn569]

@Mehrdad the Zandik Yeah, in Romanian we don't make distinction between different "h"s. It could sound like "kh" or "x", but never like Arabic "ح" (h) or Russian "х" (kh)

[@minayedel]

The words che/chi (what) and ke/ki (who) are also Persian words that have entered into the Roman languages like Italian and Spanish since both Persians and Roans used to trade with each other centuries ago when both were strong empires. Also the word Eh in Italian is actually a Persian word,eh is '"Ast" which meanis "is", which is also pronounced eh in conversational Persian. In Persian when someone rings the door bell we as Kieh (who is it), and Italians also say the same phrase with the exact same meaning. And Chieh also is another Persian sentence ( what is it) that's entered into the Italian and Spanish languages from Persian.

Interesting and informative for all cultural explorers like me!😃🤗🤗 Number 9 in Kashmiri is like "nav" - quite same like older Persian as Sayeed said. :) However, the word "new" in Kashmiri is "nouv" and one Kashmiri name is "navsheen" which literally means "new snow". ☺☺ Dah is same in Kashmiri for 10. 🤗 Che khabar in Kashmiri becomes "kyaa chha khabar aaz?" which literally translates to what is the news today or more like what's latest? 😀 I love how we all belonging to the Iranic family of cultures and traditions share so much in common that it makes us come closer each day and embrace our oneness!😃❤

[@alonsoardjuna6690]

The number 9 in i-e languages is associated with "new", for example in English - "nine", and in Persian - "nova" - "new" as well. In Ossetian we have: 8 = ast, 9 = farast, wich means "new 8", or "more 8" : "far ast".

[@DipanjanPaul]

Kashmiri is not Iranic language btw, Kashmiri is Indic. Indic and Iranic are sibling language groups however. That makes Kashmiri as a cousin of Persian, not a sibling.

The Soviets published many linguisic studies of Ossetian, including Russian-Ossetian dictionaries.
