Similarities Between Persian and Indonesian

In this episode, we compare two languages belonging to separate families, Indonesian and Persian. We explore the similarities between the two languages which are the result of historical contacts between the people of Indonesia and those from the Middle East.

Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia) is an Austronesian language, a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language has been used as a lingua franca in the archipelago for centuries. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.
The Persian language (Farsi) is classified as one of the Western Iranian languages. Persian has had a huge impact on other languages and cultures, mainly in the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia and holds official status is Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Persian has strongly influenced numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent, eventually reaching Southeast Asia as well. 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.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.

FYI, "piala" also means bowl/cup in Indonesia. It could be translated both as "cup"/ "bowl" (container that can be filled with water, used for drinking usually made of metal) and "trophy" (as what the guy tried to guess). Indonesian Christian/Catholic community should be familiar with the other meaning of piala as cup/bowl. The word "piala" is used to interpret/translate the word "cup" from the Bible (Hebrew: "kos") into Indonesian Bible. It can be found as well in KBBI (Indonesian Official Dictionary/Thesaurus) that "piala" can be interpreted as cup/bowl and trophy.

can we please stop saying bahasa for Indonesian? I mean you can say either "Bahasa Indonesia" or simply "Indonesian". "bahasa" means "language" and the word is used in many different "bahasa": bahasa thai, bahasa bangla, bahasa jawa, bahasa ambon, etc.

[@giorbymiranda]

xolang yeeess right?? I hate this too but to be fair the word "bahasa" alone depending on context has become a colloquial word for "Bahasa Indonesia."

[@Abelion_Jayakerto]

don't forget for some portugis and dutch words in bahasa indonesia

[@pualamnusantara7903]

In Indonesian, we say "Ustadz" and "ustadzah" only for someone who is very knowledgeable in Islam. We say "ilmuwan" for someone who is very knowledgeable in general things, mostly in science or mathematic. But both words came from Arabic/Persian, which is "ostad" (استاد) and "Ilmu/alim (علم)".

[@satellite964]

Ustad is less about knowledge and more about mastery, like a master of a musical instrument. Enlightenment vs Mastery.

[@muhammadraditz5074]

bahasa inggrisnya keren ..

[@renddiraya4464]

yeah maybe that's the only definition that indonesian people know so far.. I think the real meaning of the word is the same with "Guru".. someone who have a lot of knowledge... that's the real meaning..

[@GoodBoy-cy9tj]

Hamen ilm hai is bat ki janab, your accent, culture, language, diversity very similar to India, I think Indonesia is second most diverse country after India. Persia shares border with India before partition, so it is common having similar language in neighbouring countries.

Thai (Siamese) also has several Persian cultural elements including language, architecture, cuisine, as a result from trading between Persia and Siamese kingdom for more than 400 years. The greatest Thai noble family “Bunnag” (บุนนาค) is descendant of a Persian merchant “Sheikh Ahmat” from Qom who permanently settled in Siam and served the king as a nobleman since Ayuttaya period (Yothia).

[@amdperacha]

We use almost all of the words in Urdu which is not surprising since most of our literary and artistic heritage is inspired by Persian language

[@suyashneelambugg]

And this makes them similar? If indonesia speaks Urdu? Do they even know the origins of the language? Do they even know who they were just 700 years before when islam didn't land at their shores? You're not even neighbours for FS. The similarity between Iran and Indonesia is because Indonesia had its people converted to Islam which brought in foreign language. Just because Indians speak English doesn't mean there are similarities between India and every english speaking country.

[@suyashneelambugg]

And the word Bahasa comes from the Sanskrit word Bhasa meaning "language". (Chinese travellers came to Indonesia to learn Sanskrit in the Hindu temples before travelling to India). You have Ramayana Plays "Ram leela" which is what is called cultural similarity down to the roots. Oh and if you didn't know, Urdu was born out of Hindu and Muslim Soldiers interacting in the Mughal army. The Language originated near Bareli in Uttar Pradesh in North India. So all your so called similarity with Persia is because you speak a borrowed language. I am sure there is the real Bahasa which has nothing to do with Urdu.

[@ebparsa]

@@suyashneelambugg You're mixing up a lot of things. When it comes to Pakistan you can blame the Mughals and when it comes to Iran we can blame the Arabs as Islam was not brought to our countries in a peaceful manner but you cannot extend that to Indonesia as they were conquered neither by Persians nor by Arabs.

[@nazmulbhuiyan1982]

Sanjay Gurung Most North East Indian languages, Singhalese, and few South East Asian languages evolved from Pali. I speak Bengali. Long time ago Hindu priests did not honour Bengali as a literary language, but once people started writing in it, they felt the need to translate Hindu religious texts into Bengali, and in doing so they also injected lots of Sanskrit words, and that's why all the Pali derived languages have so much Sanskrit in them.

Riyandi Darmawan Putra 70% of official indonesian language is arabic language. It is logical because when bahasa indonesia is born, 95% of indonesian people is a muslims. So the new language is created circling around islam. But that is not what indonesia practiced until these day. The only indonesian who speak bahasa indonesia for every single day is only the batavian races and the north west sundanese. Except from these two, the indonesian people speak their internal races language. The batakian is speak batak language, the javanese they speak java language, the bugis they speak bugis language so on and on.

[@risanupara7977]

Ankit Zee There is no such things called original indonesian language. Indonesia is not suppose to be born in the first place in my opinion. Should have been stayed in state of many kingdoms who live in peace neightboorhood. Not in the same government right now. It's so messy and dissorganize. This idea of united kingdom of nusantara as a republic called indonesia is a mess in the first place. Too much tribe, too much island, too much different language, too much missunderstanding between these people. They always fight because of uncontrolable missunderstanding. "Too much cook in the kitchen". Bumbunya kebanyakan, sakit perut dan bikin mau muntah. These bahasa indonesia is created afterwards. Not in there in the first place. We the indonesian people have our "own" language. So we need to create a new language to unite us. That is bahasa indonesia. It is containing 4 language. Majority is arabic. A little bit english and india language. And a great amount of melayu language. That is bahasa indonesia. It's not original language. It's born after thousands years later. It's crappy anyway. The language is too short, did't devide between a man and a woman grammatically, There is no explanation about time. Past, present, and future gramaticaally is no where to be found. Too easy too missunderstood. Honestly it is not a tidy, compose, compact, beautifull language to learn. But anyway, the language is already been born, so if anybody wants to learn it just for fun it is no problem, just having fun and learn the language for fun.

Please do Similarities Between Arabic and Indonesian

[@BahadorAlast]

I definitely plan on it! For any future suggestions, can you please contact us on Instagram so we don't miss your comments (because that happens a lot on KZbin where comments go unnoticed).

you should do similarities between Nepali and Indonesian as well! it's soo similar.

[@fyoloswaggins5203]

Slight shifts in the meaning of the words are so cool. Like pahlevan, in one language it means big and strong, in another it means hero in my language it means wrestler.

[@soundingsea3419]

bro..gandum bro..GANDUM!, ROTI GANDUM = wheat bread, but i completely understand as an Indonesian, wheat (gandum) is not so popular here as food ingredients. and Bahador, if want to make challenge like this which is include Indonesia,please do with the Dutch, we got so many loan words from them and i'm curious how many of them still use in their daily life (dutch)

[@SantomPh]

soundingsea the problem with doing a Dutch/Indon video is that the loanwords are exactly alike. We are used to similar not totally identical words.

[@rosyidharyadi7871]

haha, yeah, I was gregetan (how do you say this in english?) when he couldn't catch that word with obvious clue.

Nice video, Salaam from Indonesia

[@mohi5628]

Good job! as someone who speaks both languages I believe there are way more to go such as: jinazah, bandara, masharakat, akibat, jumat, etc. but there are some funny ones too: for example fig in Farsi is 'anjir', while the word anjir is informal way of saying 'anjing' in Bahasa Indonesia and that is a swear word which literally means dog. Having said that, I know that some may say the above words are mostly Arabic originally, but we should take the fact that a lot of words in Farsi and Arabic are used interchangeably into account, as these two cultures swapped a lot of literature from ancient times, and such words have already became Persian and Arabic as it's been hundreds that they're used and started to gain more cultural value and meaning in each context rather that their original ones!

[@minaal-lami2855]

Moh Mohi Wow! That's interesting.

[@yuliusandrian2748]

really anjir have some meaning in farsi? hahaha anjir lah

[@blckmmb3384]

anjir hahhahaha

[@muhammadaqsho5933]

Njiiirrrr..... 😂🤣

[@zurielarts4650]

I don't think anjir is a swear word though, more like "damn". It's not that strong.

[@indra_susanto.]

Interesting video

[@rothmolysim1088]

Bro, can u do an episode for Khmer and Thai? We’re very similar in terms of Sanskrit and Pali loan words.

[@andreasmrt]

Interesting!! Cheers from Bali

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you for watching!

[@wahyuarifraharjo1904]

Reza or sometimes Riza, and Pahlevi, are very common names in Indonesia. Anyway, the similarities are shocking!

[@rezabesak1258]

Hey what happened?

[@fahrazi9564]

Soraya Lutfi Rafsanjani

[@stevanruutana4913]

Yay! You guys did it! Hahaha

[@narumondanauli2845]

Popular Persian words in Indonesia are "anggur" (grape), "gandum" (wheat), and words related to maritime (nakhoda, mualim, syahbandar). The name "Reza", derived from Iran's former leader Shah Reza Pahlevi, is very popular here. "Reza" is the way Persian pronounce Arabic "ridha" or "reda".

[@nawsigowreng8926]

[@kazisumon608]

[@bkashdeshar9068]

We nepal also have a same word anggur which means grape

[@muhammadaqsho5933]

I think it’s sanskrit

[@Abc-fk6gm]

Bro Angur is Sanskrit word and it is used in north indian languages

[@Private.R]

Angoor is a Persian word for grapes, Sanskrit word for grapes is Draksh/Drakshafal.

Congratulations on your engagement

[@rdtgr8]

Piyaale = Russian piala / пиала (however meaning may not be completely the same), porsesh = Russian s-prositi / vo-proshati "to ask", vopros "a question", It may be not connected but Russia's principal sea port on Pacific coast is Nakhodka ;)

[@Samba000007]

Piala = trophy

[@rdtgr8]

Modal Skill In Russian "trophy" (Cup) = kubok. And piala is "bowl". It's closer to Persian meaning as far as I understood

[@Samba000007]

Spasiba brother... Greetings from Indonesia I love to learn many languages

[@HerryNovri]

The original meaning of Piala in Indonesian is luxurious cup. Since many trophies were in form of cup, then the word become the same as trophy.

[@hoathanatos6179]

Yeah, porsesh and prositi are also related to the traditional Germanic roots for questioning, asking: Frag-, Fråg-,Frig-, where initial Indo-European Ps turn into Fs in Germanic languages and Germanic languages belong to the Centum branch which uses g ,k, ch while Persian and Slavic languages belong to the Satem branch and use z, s, sh in the same roots i.e. I=Ego, Ich, Ek, Ik, Eg, Ig, Uk, Jag, Jeg, and many have dropped the Velar in their evolution so you get I, Eu, Yo, Io, Je; and then in Satem you have I=Az, Es, Ash, Jas and then Ja in many Slavic languages that as well have dropped the final s just as Romance languages have dropped the g. In Latin you have Precari-to ask earnestly, to pray, or to implore, and from that in Italian you have Pregare, Prier in French, and the English Pray, while in Sanskrit you have the verb Prchchati and the noun form Prasna and in Avestan you have Peresaiti and the noun Frashna, and in Lithuanian you have Prashyti. It is an extremely ancient root related to asking and inquiring that can be found in most Indo-European languages.

[@hdersoz]

Pahlawan (which is written as "Pehlivan" in Turkish) is literally used as the wrestlers of traditional wrestling games but we can also use the term to describe a male who has a huge body as in the saying "a man like a pahlawan". By the way Mahtab (as in Turkish Mehtap) which means "the moonlight" is a very common female name in Turkish...

[@darknesslight9630]

Hakan Ersöz Pahlawan and mahtab are persian words. I saw some turkish drama and many of names of people were persian.

[@ismayanasusanto467]

Aynen abi.. ama Bizim tam olarak Pahlawan derken = Kahraman demektir... çok kullanılır.. hatta Türkiyedeyken pehliven kelimesini hiç duymadım sjshshshs

[@hosseinsadeghi2468]

There are also Turkish names in iran like yashar, aydin, peace and love from Iran
