Similarities Between Persian and Albanian

In this language challenge, Klajd (Albanian speaker) faces Mahtab (Persian speaker) with a list of words and phrases that share a common root between the two languages. Persian and Albanian are both Indo-European languages that have some similarities in their vocabularies. Albanian occupies an independent branch within Indo-European languages. It is an official language in Albania and Kosovo and has minority status in Macedonia, Italy, Romania, Montenegro, and Serbia. Persian (Farsi) is classified as one of the Indo-Iranian languages, primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, as well as some other regions in the Middle East and Central Asia.

You should do one with Albanian and Romanian. Albanian has a lot of similar words to Romanian due to the ancient Illyrian/Dacian connection. In fact the capital of Romania(Buchurest) comes from an Albanian word Bukurështë(meaning, "it is beautiful") the two languages split after Latin influence came into Romanian 2000 years ago.

Love that Albanian guy and I'm from Serbia. By the way almost all the words that were in Albanian we use them too in Serbia. For example Fukara means bad, sleazy, uneducated people, not poor people. We use Dembel to describe a lazy person, even though we don't use it as an adjective but as a noun. Also we use čizme, patlidžan, baba (which means grandmother)...

Epiri Cham But you are wrong about ancient Greek god names. They All have meanings in Greek , and the etymology (etymology is a Greek word of course , I suppose you understand what it means) of all the Gods names is from simple ancient Greek words. As an example : ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝ (poseidon) ΠΟΣΙΣ + ΕΙΔΩ (river/waters + responsible ) for more Greek names etymology see www.diakonima.gr/2014/08/12/%ce%b5%cf%84%cf%85%ce%bc%ce%bf%ce%bb%ce%bf%ce%b3%ce%af%ce%b1-%ce%b5%ce%bb%ce%bb%ce%b7%ce%bd%ce%b9%ce%ba%cf%8e%ce%bd-%ce%bf%ce%bd%ce%bf%ce%bc%ce%ac%cf%84%cf%89%ce%bd/ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑ (Demeter) ΔΗ +ΜΗΤΗΡ (earth + mother) So stop spreading false claims. Some scholars of the late 19 century believed that Albanian language comes from the ancient Aiolian dialect of the Hellenic languages (of course it has deviated a lot and has incorporated several Latin and Slavic words) , and there is a book from 1902 that has a lot of hints and proofs about it . Here is the book link www.scribd.com/document/76844618/%CE%91%CE%BB%CE%B2%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AC-%CE%AE-%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CF%84%CF%81%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%82-%CE%B6%CF%8E%CF%83%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B5%CE%BA%CF%84%CE%BF%CE%B9-%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82-%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%BB%CE%B7%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%AE%CF%82-%CE%B3%CE%BB%CF%8E%CF%83%CF%83%CE%B7%CF%82

That the same for the word “Qika” which means Girl

[@iskandarding5396]

A lot of these words would sound much more similar if the Afghan or Tajik pronunciation was used here instead of Tehrani/Standard Iranian. For example, 'castle' is pronounced as 'qala' in the eastern pronunciation rather than 'qale', and 'sock' is joraab rather than juuraab.

[@mznor6372]

Huge work u do bahador ❤️ Sweet and i think when we have so much words in common with another nations means we have a lot of gene in common. So racism is totally nonsense. Love your work. movafaq bashi

[@BahadorAlast]

mz nor Sepas az shoma :) Really appreciate that. We post a new video every week. Hope you enjoy our future works, we'll be expanding to include several different languages as well :)

[@AliReza-vi3kp]

Good video bro .. in my opinion if they're quiet sometimes just put a really low background music

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you! Yes, I agree with you. I have been doing that with the more recent videos.

[@user-cb6sj7jk6s]

You should do Kurdish (both Kurmanci and Sorani) and Farsi! Sorani Kurdish is much more similar to Persian and actually soo different from Kurmanci Kurdish so that would be interesting

[@BahadorAlast]

mediya You're right! The only thing is my Sorani Kurdish speaking friends speak Persian as well, so it would be tough to make it a challenge haha, but I will definitely do a Kurmanci Kurdish and Persian video :) ... Thank you and if you have any other suggestions or feedback, please make sure to contact us on Instagram, because KZbin comments can easily get missed. Shahrzad: instagram.com/shahrzad.pe or Me: instagram.com/BahadorAlast Thanks again :)

[@arzhangemamifar7702]

did you come up with the Idea or saw it somewhere else ? at each case you have done a GREAT job and it's good that you dont take sides and if you do you do it for the guests side .

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you! :) ... We just thought of it because of all the words we'd come across when hearing different languages. haha I agree, I don't take sides, but if I do, it's just in a joking playful manner because we're friends. I do try to be as neutral as possible!

[@theillyri8339]

These words are used by Albanians but we know they're slangs and we have Albanian versions of them.

[@rmadankan]

These are great videos Bahador, I would just add one suggestion that you may need to change the rule such that players get point if the other party is able to make a correct guess. In this way, you would end up promoting the similarities between the languages. Great videos anyways! :+1

[@BahadorAlast]

Thanks a lot Reza :) ... I am not sure if I understood correctly regarding the points. So are you suggesting we should give a point to the party that says the word, when the other part gets it correct? Thanks again.

[@rmadankan]

I guess what I am saying is sth like this: team A says the word in their native language, and if team B could guess the word, then team A would get the point. This way, you would direct the competition toward finding the similarities, rather than differences.

[@Energy_69]

Few Albanian words used here are actually borrowed from Turkish or Persian. ie: Kala (Castle). Albanian Gheg word is Keshtjella..

[@alpaktuna]

Hi Bahador! I really enjoy these videos. It goes to show that we can appreciate similarities more than differences, and they bring people together. Is it possible that you'll be making a video comparing Turkish and Persian? I know that in Turkish there are lots of Persian loanwords, so it would be really neat. Thanks again.

[@alti73]

they are both indo-europian languages of course there are some similar words

[@Faisal-gn3gt]

As an Arabic speaker, I understand most the words except few words. It is the same similarities with Arabic

[@quickfacts-for-you]

Many of those words if not all of them are in fact Persian words that were introduced to the Balkans during the Ottoman invasion of the Balkan by the modern day Turks. I keep on explaining to my fellow Serbs that in fact many of the words that they think are Turkish are actually Persian.

[@ramaluigi6846]

Exactly! Ottoman turkish was heavily influenced by persian. Even when Ataturk tried to purify today’s turkish, it still ended up with a lot of persian words. That ought to tell you something about how impactful the persian world was before the turkic peoples started their migration and conquests!

[@qoqqoq124]

NICE VIDEO RESPECT TO PERSIAN PEOPLE. Both indoeuropean languages but the Albanian guy is picking up all loan words from ottomans, he is not saying Albanian words.

[@fazrazfarzam4688]

Those aren't "Ottoman" words, they are Persian words that the Ottomans took from the Persian language.

[@5starmelody]

Nice video! Nice try but from linguistic prospective I am sorry to say that it doesn't meet any scientific requirement, 90% of all words were of osmanli and Arabic roots, which words are loans from the ottoman times and are widespread in Balkans including starting from Greece to Romania in the north. I was surprised by the word Ku which really might have some importance from linguistic point of view, and the word nakhordam also for having the hor and hord inside respectively where hor in slang albanian can mean eaten and hord in might count in greek for being related with the hort-eno verb meaning getting full after eating.

[@askaazadiiran4985]

[@BahadorAlast]

Georges Petko We're planning to do a video with Greek, comparing it to Persian. Other than Armenian, and perhaps Turkish, what other languages do you suggest we compare Greek to?

[@ervinzefi8662]

Bahador Alast Mainly Turkish because they ( Greeks ) also have adopted Turkish words.

[@YorgosEU]

U can't compare it to any other. Is a unique language branch. We have Italian and Turkish words in our vocabulary but they r so few that it wouldn't matter

[@Gutians]

Ervin Zefi no it isn't, Turkish is mostly a mix of Persian and Arabic

[@ervinzefi8662]

@Shqiptar Per jete For us in Albania , it was adopted from the Turkish oppressors . We were never invaded from any arabic countries . I don’t really know the origin of the word , but we adopted it from the Turks , just like other bullshit too. Some of their shitty culture and music .

You aware that most of these similar words are neologisms, similar in Japan and Guinea Bissau. lol Also similar words entered languages through the Ottoman Empire. Some basic research is needed, not to embarrass yourself.

[@marionicolasmartin]

Al Green it does not matter if they are .They are still found in both languages

[@autochthonous3141]

The truth is that most of the "Albanian" words he mention are originally Turkish not real authentic Albanian ! But as a matter of fact Albanian is part of Indo-Europian language and Persian as well is part of Indo-Iranian which is branch of Indo-Europian language ! Another fact is that Albanian language is one of the most unique derivatives of Indo-European languages ​​that has preserved its authenticity since antiquity
