Similarities Between Persian and Croatian

[@BahadorAlast]

I just want to point out that I made mistake regarding the root of the word "dugme". It is derived from Ottoman Turkish and ultimately comes from Proto-Turkic. For any suggestions or feedback, please contact us on Instagram: instagram.com/BahadorAlast

one of the most accepted theories attributes the origin of Hrvatska to an Iranic people, Sarmatians

[@greggor07]

Rik P It's not one of the most accepted to be honest. It's about as accepted as the Gothic theory...meaning It's pseudo-scientific woo from the 90s, when the right wing government was pushing all kinds of nonsense just to try and "prove" we're not Slavs. And all with the purpose of distancing us from the Serbs as much as possible. Maybe we are from Iran, but in that case, so are all the other Slavs, and in fact could be all Indoeuropeans. Nothing special about our small tribe.

Hi, love from Iran too. Do you know Croatians are originally from Iran? by a simple search you can realize this fact? Kharavat is a place in North East of IRAN. .........

[@hosseinmoeini1428]

@Siniša Vuco it's oblivious that every nation have been under influence of neighbors. such as Iranians which mixed with other nations . خراوات is a Persian word which pronounces like Croat. Croats are originally from north east of Iran which nowadays named Khorasan. I was there about 5 years ago and I saw a city which it's name is Kharve. when I read a text on the net about origin of Croatians I really surprised with this resemblance. If you pay attention to the type of clothes and the face of Croats you can realize my view.

As a Turk I knew I would know all of the words even before I watched the video. We have too many Persian words in our language and with the Ottoman Empire all those words also got into Balkan languages, so the Ottoman Empire and Turkish were like bridges between Persian language and the Balkans. I can see similar stuff in other videos like Persian vs Greek, Persian vs Serbian etc.

Iranian and croats BROTHERS FOREVER

[@craigtucker777]

The premise is that the Croats are originally non-Slavic people with an Iranian heritage, who later adopted the Slavic language. The proponents of this view can be called Pre-Slavists. ... A major part of this thesis is based on the similarity of ancient Indo-Iranian names with the modern Croatian term for Croats “Hrvati”.

[@Mokh7777]

Croatians are known to be descendants of the great Iranian Sarmats. The name croat comes from the Iranian kravat. They were later slavitized, but their Iranian/Aryan ancestry makes them an ancient people and also blood brothers of Iranians.

Croat = Hrvat or in old Croatian Horvat And it stands for Hor/Sun and Vat/Land which has it's roots in the old Dari language spoken in the Persian Empire. Croatians were located in the area of Helmand which is in todays Afghanistan.

[@crazyplayer14komes86]

Persian -Kuc =House Croatian-Kuca =House Or Persian Number one 1 Jedande and in Croatian Jedan And the Dalmatian people in todays Croatia had their very own Language. It had no slavic roots at all. More of Latin. The last Person beeing fluent in that language died around 1890.

[@rdtgr8]

This is simpler: Sanskrit Svarvat "sunshining", Svaru is "sun light", from which Slavic pagan god Svarog_. U/Va is interchanged in IE, so Svarvat = Survat = Hurvat / Hrvat

[@rdtgr8]

However Horvat may also be from related stem: Ukrainian Keruvaty means "to rule, to manage", Kerivnyk (Kerovanik/Kerunik - ova/iv open to close syllable change) "chief, manager". If we change nik suffix for equivalent tel (Kerovatel/Kerutel) we'll receive Latin Curator/Procurator (pro- means "via, over" so Procurator is Curator of Curators, or Supreme Curator, Supreme Administrator of Roman province). Greek Demo-Kratia is also the same stem. This Krator/Curator/Kerutel goes to Indian Kshatriya and Avestan Xshatra (Avestan is known for its R/Sh interchange the same like in Polish, so Xshaatra = Xraatra, btw now you see why U in Slavic KerUtel/KerOVAtel because Iranian AA which in Persian is pronounced close to O always goes to Slavic U/Y with exception if the word ends with AA - then will be A) which is source for Persian shaax (king of Iran). So you see in this case Xorvat means "ruling" or "ruler". However these stems are related because original meaning is from sunRISE. Ruler is Higher than people, he is Risen.

Historical studies indicate that the Croats started migrating from the Iranian homeland to Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia about 3,000 years ago. However, a much larger migration took place about 1,700 years ago. Probably the reason behind this migration was the suppression of the followers of Manichean faith during the Sassanid era. The said scholar LSO says that the word Serb has also Iranian origin, which can be recognized in the word "Charv" meaning cattle.

[@stefanijaharris7566]

A great format, interesting to watch. Most of the common words are relatively late borrowings by Croatian speakers from Persian, through Turks who used to occupy the next door Bosnia. However it would be interesting to find out how much vocabulary Croatian and Iranian have in common that goes back to their common Proto-Indoeuropean origin. They say that the Early Persian was very similar to Sanskrit. Croatian shares some grammatical features and vocabulary with Sanskrit. Therefore it must have some similarities to the Early Persian. In addition, Croats although classified as Slavs, at least in part have Sarmatians, an Eastern Iranian people, as their ancestors. It is possible that the Croatian language was formed as a result of melding of Slavic and Eastern Iranian linguistic influences.

[@teovu5557]

since i dont see anyone mention it but the name croatian or Hrvati is said to come from an Iranian(sarmatian)word as well as Serb. Many believes that it might not be of native Slavic lexical stock, but a borrowing from an Iranian language. Common theories from the 20th and 21st centuries derive it from an Iranian origin, the root word being a third-century Scytho-Sarmatian form attested in the Tanais Tablets as Χοροάθος (Khoroáthos, alternate forms comprise Khoróatos and Khoroúathos). Max Vasmer first considered it as a loanword from Old-Iranian, *(fšu-)haurvatā- "shepherd, cattle guardian" (formed of Avestan pasu- "cattle" and verb haurvaiti "guard"), later also from Old-Iranian hu-urvatha- "friend" comepared to Hrvat(croatian self ethnonym) as Croatians were first mention in Eastern Europe in the Sarmatian region in the 6th century.

[@filippavlakovic4478]

actually, from what I have heard...first Croats came from Persia

[@CroPersian]

Indeed, many Croatians have told me about that as well! I am vey compelled to believe the notion, as evident by the similar tribal music, traditional tribal costumes, foods, and even looks. My Croatian fiancé always gets mistaken for being Iranian in Iranian stores. We look like brother and sister. What is interesting to note is that I instantly felt like he was from the same blood when I met him. I had a sort of instinctual feeling without knowing where he was from! So cool :)) I also read that the Iranian Scythians/Sarmatians inhabited Eastern Europe, and a lot of the Zoroastrian burial sites are dispersed there, along with other ancient Iranian artifacts. Greetings brother, God bless!

[@barbaricvm0]

True,its the Iranian Croatian origin theory.It's yet to be confirmed but if this is true then that would mean Serbs are the ancient Serboi.The nomadic/sarmatian tribe known to Romans.If this is true then,that would be such HUGE news,it would fix relations between Serbia and Croatia by 10000%.I hope i can live long enough to see the day when this theory is finally confirmed.

[@Markov092]

Croats are Slavonic people and Slavonic are most similar Indo-European language group to Indo-Iranian. Slavs and Aryan people even share same root paternal gene - R1a.

I am a Vietnamese lover of history and cultures. I have respect and love for both Iran and Hrvaska. One of my Czech friends told me that Czech History books claim that the Czech people came from the Zagros Mountains of Iran. I guess most if not all Slavs came from Iran?

I speak Arabic and I guessed most words 0:44 kalup - Qalib (container), and if you remove the vowels "Qalb" it means heart 1:50 for some reason I guessed it, not sure but in Iraq they call it "digma" 3:07 Kaves, Qafas in Arabic and it means cage 5:43 Dud, I thought it was Dud which in Arabic means worms, but Tut in Arabic also means berries 7:40 Dzep, the pronunciation is exact same as the Croatian, and it means pocket, immediately guessed it 12:00 Barot, in where I live they call it Barod or Barot which means gunpowder 15:24 Badinjan, eggplant

[@Mokh7777]

The problem is the person who conducts these videos are not a linguist, so they will only use words that have entered from one language to the other, instead of doing actual cognate words in languages of same family like persian and french which both are indo-european and would have tons in similiarties. So for example, instead of doing words like genou, qui, que, chose, in french which have same cognates in Persian, or dialects in parts of Iran like Gilaki and Luri which make mother father water pronounce as mer per au (similar to french mere pere eau), they will do like merci, ascenseur, sechoir which are french words that have entered into persian.

[@dymytryruban4324]

Persian and farsi are one👍

[@10fatfingers38]

As a Croatian, this is my view on this. The languages may have some similar words but If you were going to do sentences, it would be completely different. No hate tho

[@BahadorAlast]

Of course. Same goes with all the videos on this channel.

[@annabieber139]

The reason why these languages havr similarities is because many words in Croatian language are taken fron Turkish, and Turkish language has taken words feom Persian or they both share the same word .

67claudius This is kind of misleading. We do have persian loanwords (via ottoman turkish), but they represent a small part of our vocabulary, especially in the standard language. In this video they used almost exclusively persian loanwords, not words with obvious PIE rots like "jetra".
