Similarities Between Persian and Georgian

Despite belonging to two different language families, due to millennia long intertwined relations, there are many shared words between Georgian and Persian. These relations go as far back as the Achaemenid (هخامنشیان) times. Centuries later, throughout history, the Persian language and culture had a lot of influence on Georgian. In fact, Georgian literary works such as Shota Rustaveli's famous Georgian medieval epic poem, The Knight in the Panther's Skin, Vepkhistqaosani (ვეფხისტყაოსანი), contain the names of Iranian heroes borrowed from the Shahnameh, the Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi, considered to be the national epic of Greater Iran.
In today's video we compare some of the common terms between the two languages with a list of words and sentences.
If you speak a language that we have not featured before and would like to participate in a future video please follow and message us on Instagram: / bahadoralast
The Georgian language (ქართული ენა) is a Kartvelian languages and the official language of Georgia. Old Georgian, from as far back as the 5th century, is still in use today as the liturgical language of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Old Georgian is the ancestor of what eventually developed into the modern Georgian language in the 18th century. Georgian is the only language from all the Kartvelian languages that has an old alphabet and literary tradition.
The Persian language (Farsi) is 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.

Man, Iranian hegemony in the Caucasus was no small deal! As an Armenian speaker, I knew all these words despite half of being slang or in everyday lexicon.

[@davitpetrosyan7565]

That's because that words entered the georgian through armenian. Armenia and Persia represented a common cultural space, while Georgia was Armenian vassal state. Didn't you noticed, that most of georgian versions of words sound more in the armenian manner.

[@donmarley69]

@@davitpetrosyan7565 Yes, but the Iranian connection continued with strong relevance until the Russians arrived. Georgian Kings like David II had Persian names like Emamqoli Khan in the 17th century as well as other Kings who also converted to Islam at various times. This was more a result of direct Iranian influence rather than Armenians being a cultural transmitter which was more likely in the medieval period. The Armenians were still probably transmitting Iranian and other cultural influences to the region because of their urban and mercantile role in Georgia which continued until the early 1900s but surely less than the southern Khans and Beylerbeys pressure on the Georgian kingdoms. The period of Irano-Turkic rule of the Near East and Armenia is unfortunately little studied and understood as if its some dark ages -it may be but still worthy of study. It is in fact the time period where Artsakh and Syunik maintained the last bits of Armenian-led political hegemony among of course, the smaller scattered autonomous territories laying within the Ottoman Empire as well.

[@davitpetrosyan7565]

@@donmarley69 I'm not agree that Armenia is studied a little, I was thinking the same a time ago but now I think it is studied enough. I could be agree with you about Georgia, but most of loanwords of iranian origin are actually not Farsi, but Pahlavi, so they were borrowed at least before 622 ad. Also huge part of loanwords are borrowed from Avestan language, which is not direct ancestor of Farsi, but absolutely another branch of iranian languages. That means, that both Armenia and Parthia/Persia inherited that words for spiritual reasons, while Georgian never was of part of it and could get such a words only from Armenian. Again, I'm not talking about all the words, but nearly most of them. There are also words that entered to caucasus directly, but there are too few of them.

[@donmarley69]

It’s very likely. I guess a Georgian linguist who knows Iranian languages can best decipher which words entered the language how and when? I assume it’s a mix but I can’t say for sure. The Armenian connection is there no doubt even until the end. However, I still believe the late medieval and early modern periods are not well understood by most and especially Armenians. This is in fact when large segments of the region were islamified, regions ethnically cleansed and we went from dozens of small to large Turkic and other Muslim states consolidating into two then three imperial centers.

[@eagleeye182]

@@davitpetrosyan7565 Are you on drugs? Georgia was Armenia`s vassal state? LMAO And when exactly was Georgia Armenia`s vassal state? Armenia didn`t even exist as a unifided state for centuries! Armenia was Georgia`s vassal state for a very long period of time! Stop spreading Armenian lies here! Your kings and noblemen would come to Georgian kings for help! David IV aka David the Builder kicked the Ottomans out of Armenia and after that, Armenia became a tributary state to Georgia! During the reign of Erekle II, Armenia was eastern Georgia`s vassal; at that time, it was called - the Erivan Khanate. Shah Abbas I relocated 300,000 Armenians from Julfa in 1604 and other places and resettled them in Isfahan, in new Jufla and he did it due to mercantile purposes. He used Armenians to sell Iranian silks to Europe. What kind of 'common, cultural space' are you talking about? You`re not much of a historian. One more thing, if it hadn`t been for famous Georgian ghulams, Armenian silk merchants wouldn`t have attained so much economic power and prestige.

What a nice video. Thanks Bahador for promoting peace and focus on similarities of nations. Was shocked by some negative and aggresive comments though. Why get political all the time? Persia, Midya, Babylonya - have influenced the whole asian/caucasian/middle eastern region for good. Culture - poetry, music, architecture flourished. Georgians still bear a grudge on Iran I see, but if not Persian influence there would be no beautiful poetry because during mongolian invasion that lasted for hundreds of years there, there was created no piece of art. I love history and languages so much, been enjoying these videos a lot, thanks again.
