Similarities Between Romanian and Persian | Indo-Europeans family | History

Hi Friend !!!

Feel free to share your knowledge with us.. we Like it when you do ;)

Our ancestors,the Proto-Romanians and then the Vlachs were nomadic shepherds and horse breeders roaming much of Central and Eastern Europe,in Czechia and Slovakia there's even a Vlach autonomous region !

I have discovered now that you upload two videos. One by one. That was very interesting. Basically I known little bit about Iran. Greetings Guys :)

[@thelifeofyelna]

Yes I didn’t want to overload information. some people might not be interested in History… Thanks for watching both !

[@andreiciobanu1325]

Hi. I've seen your clips for the first time today, so I asked you about your origin at your first clip (after that one I've seen that one about Romanian music, than this one), and now here I see also the answer to my question there. I don't know if you heard of the most fampus and knowledgeable historian of the world, a Dutch citizen born in Romania, but in his serie about the world history, he also made a documentary about the history of Parthia/Farsia/Persia, which is so long that he had to split it in four parts, episode 15-A, 15-B, 15-C and 15-D, in which he documentes the ancient relations between Romania (Dacia) and Persia ("iran" as name is relatively new in history). If interested, check at my clips here the short clip called "Trailer scurt la episodul 15-D". Underneeth you have the link to the whole serie. Before that, think well if you prefer the red or the blue pill (like in the Matrix movie), if you get my drift. Cheers! PS: Only episode 15-D is fully bilingual (English translated, plus Romanian explained), but Alex could help you understand the other 3 also.

As far as I know, "Iran" is the name of the country in Farsi language, while "Persia" is the name in (ancient) Greek. Also, Ottoman Empire fought many wars against Persia (and the border moved a lot), but they never conquered Persia; the modern border between Turkey and Iran was established only in the 1920's.

[@stefaniate]

That was such an interesting video! I also love history, but I had only a vague understanding of persian history and culture, about them not being arabs, and about the great persian empire !

[@thelifeofyelna]

Glad you enjoyed it and this has be informative .

[@David.Guia_EUROPOL.TheHague]

@@thelifeofyelna See my last upload, oploaded just now, about the Dacia - Iran/Persia connection. It' s a clip from Dacia/Romania, from a history fan. See the pinned comment too, or the clip description.

[@Ben-jd6mu]

Romania was apart of the Persian empire under Darius the great which is why there are so many similar words.

[@ionelghiorghita688]

Wrong, Darius never conquered the main Dacians lans he just crossed thru Scythia minor (today Dobrogea in România amd Bulgaria, a very dry land the rest of the Dacians lands was covered by forests and no-one dare to cross it. Even the romans needed to build a bridge in the other side of the country closer to the Sarmisegetuza capital of Dacia) . He also conquered the south Danubian Thracians in today Bulgaria. The languages are coming from an older common language used in the North of black sea and close to the sanskrit language.

[@HumanitarianTeam]

What region do you mean by "South Europe?" From my understanding, the original migrations began in Central Asia

[@andreiciobanu1325]

Yelna is a short modern version of older "Yelena" (very common slavic/schythian name), or "Elena" in Romanian. "Scythian" is a modern English term for the ancient eastern Dacians with their falxes, which were made of scythes ("coasa" in Romanian). See on the net wat is falx. The ancient eastern Dacians (now the Russians and Ukrainans) were called "sakka, saka, saca, sece(rari)". An agricultural tool which looked more like a short falx, than a modern (almost perfect round) sickle, "secera" in Romanian. See the serie I told you in my other comment.

[@thelifeofyelna]

Yes thats correct about my name 👍🏻

[@behnoodfathi7236]

Btw Daas means Coasa in Persian. Also using -ian in the end of the word is typical way in Persian language to plural a word (e.g Derakhtan (trees), Khersan (beers, actually this word u can find it in Romanian too, urs)). So to me, Dacians can mean people who had Daas or scythes in their hand, most probably they got to know how to farm an agricultural land besides using it for defense equipment too. Anyway, Persian and Romanian shares a great deal of word similarities as they both are from the same family group (final example: Kur or koor in Persian means blind, which I believe would be the same as Romanian)

[@David.Guia_EUROPOL.TheHague]

@@behnoodfathi7236 Thank you very much for your input. Blind" in Romanian is "kior", it is now written "chior", but read the same: kior. The world famous serie "Noi Arianii Daci" proves quite a lot of things about the Persians versus Dacians (once the same nation, culture, language, traditions, clothes etc.). Darius 1 was also Dacian, from Scythia, and his ancient portrets shows him as a red haired man with a typical Dacian/Phrygian helmet, with the top of it pointed foreward. Also the typical Dacian cap (seen allover the ancient world, see also the Trajan's Column in Rome, full of Dacians wearing that cap) has the same top of it ponted foreward, the same like the cap of the Dacian/Scythian Mitra (see his ancient sculptures), initial name "Badea Mitra" (means the "handsome shepperd" called Mitra) known also as Badheo Mitra (ancient indian version), also known as Maitreya Buddha, Buddha, SakiaMuni Buddha (Sakia = Scythian, Muni = wise man, teacher), GautaMa Buddha (Gauta/Gautar = Get, Geat, Goth, Gothar, in India called "Jat", reads the same as the Romamian "Get", Get = Dacian) etc. See the quatrilogies of episode 14 and 15 of the serie I mentioned above. There are many facts about the Persians, from ancient Sumer to today Persia. Some episodes are so long that they are splited in 2, 3 or 4 clips per episode. I saw in the serie also input from history teachers from India, about Jats (reads the same as Gets/Geţi in Romanian/Dacian, it's another name for the Dacians) and their language, culture, clothes, legends, gods etc.., all identical to those in Romania, Dacia, up to today. Even the original name of Shiva (which is " Rudra") exists in Romania. "Baba Rudra" (indian "Father Rudra/Shiva", meaning "the father of rain/water) remained up to today in Romania as "Papa Ruda" (oftem written in one word) as the father of rain. There is an ancient song "Paparuda" to sing it and call for rain. Anyway, the serie I mentioned above is very interested, esspecially if seen in order. PS: The Dutch language (from Holland) contains over 1000 Romanian/Dacian words, plus expressions, traditions, legends etc., including the Dacian/Phrygian cap, called in Holland the "Volendamse Hul", woth it's top pointed foreward, also in it's holy/religios version with wings on the side, now those wings look different, hardly wings.. By the way, the word "Dutch, reads exactly as the Dacian word "Daci", in english "Dacians". You can find any episode from the serie I mentioned above ("Noi Arianii Daci") on the net, and underneeth there the link to the whole serie.

[@andreiciobanu1325]

@@behnoodfathi7236 Yes, you are very right. David Guia too. I also seen that serie. Everybody should watch it. It's full or real evidences about everybody and everything, from all historical era's, from the creation of the Universe up to today. Thank you for the info. If you have some more, it would be excellent.

[@andreiciobanu1325]

@@thelifeofyelna I see that David Guia answered to the other user here with some info, maybe you are interested in that info, if you are interested in the connection Romania - Iran, you should definitely study the serie "Noi Arianii Daci". I've seen it, I download it, it's the best history documentary serie I have ever seen. i also seen there about "Arie", greek version "Aries" (see that in the zodiac) which is the origin of the world Ariens, english written Arians (sometime as "Aryans") but read the same as Ariens. Arie was initial the god of the shepperds, and at the invasion of the Sea Peoples, hw became the god of war, Arie, griek "Aries", later shortened in Ares. His sign were the Ram horns. As Zeus, Amun etc. The same arian sign as Alexander the Great etc. See that serie. Your husband does not know much history, so it seems. "Dacians were a small part of the Tracians"??? "The Germans = Nazis"😉😂🤪?? Nazi (plural "Nazis" in english) is the short version of "nazionalist", meaning "nationalist". For example the Americans (who place their flag allover the place, including garages, clothes, shoes, socks etc..) are 10 times more nationalist/nazi than the Germans ever were. And the Thracians NEVER existed! "Thracians" (as "scythians") is a made up english word. The original name was Traxus/Traxi (singular/plural). It was a greek nickname given to the Gods of War (Dacians), from their greek god of war Trax. And in ancient times there were no names, but descriptions, which in time, in history books, became names. It is much wiser to study history before talking to people about it. (This about your husband. Not about you)

[@doruvlahu3365]

Persian history in brief . A few thousand years ago , the Parthians left the mouths of the Danube and finally arrived in the territory called Iran today . The Parthians are not the only Aryans who leave from the mouths of the Danube . After the great Wurm glaciation , when vegetation began to take the place of ice and snow , the inhabitants of the Carpathian and pericarpathian areas began to swarm , repopulating Europe and even reaching China and India .

Orb means blind in Romania.......There are similarities in every languages to a certain minimal extent

[@behnoodfathi7236]

@@robb5828 Hi man. Sure in every language there could be similarities, but here there is diff, which is here is not minimal but indeed huge influence. The diff is that ethymologiest consider the languages that spread all over Europe to be linked to wider family language called Indo-European, meaning all European languages with plenty of reasons and evidences are linked to one another, more specially linked to its root as Iranian languages. The reason it is called Ino-European because this branch of family-language were spread from India to all over Euroup, pointing its geographical distribution over thousands years rather than its mother root in Iranian plateou. The mother of all those languages are linked the Old Persian or Avestan languages that carried out by Dacian to Europe. Dacian were branch of Aryan (Aria) people who settled in Iran and later in India, and other groups of them from Cascedaus and central Asia through black sea went to Europe. Basically for every words in Romania the etymologist can recosntracut the equivalent words in Persian for you. Thosuands of words we can name which is out of the scope of this answer to share, but feel free to simply search and find the dictionary for it even in internet. Despite what public thinks, Arabic is not the some root as all European language for example, it is from Proto-Semitic languages, which is hell diffenet worlds. Although nowadays Persian use Arabic alphabet for writing, but they put their language after Arab Invasion into those alphabet, like Tajiks speaks Persian but write it in Russian alphabet but it is Persian language. Or I can write Romaina in Persian alphabet but it does not mean it is not anymore Romanian language, writing is a method to show your words but not the language for example. Since you mention Orb, let me reconstruct this for u: Orb --> Orbit --> Orchid (latin) --> Orchideh (Persian), pointing in today Persian a flower that resemble the eyes, specially the blue Orchideh as resembling the blue eyes. I assume your lack of knowledge perhaps about this leading you think simple and generalize which could be understandable, but for this case, I hell suggest you have a little research, you will see many other words too, it is much more than what you called minimal. (another example: apa (romanian), aqua (Spanish) ---> Aba (Persian means water). The words Danube = Dan + Aba = Dan (it is suffix in Persian used for place, u can find in in many cities in Iran even today, this turned in English to town, u can also find it in many other place names in Europe like Denmark or London or etc) + Aba (water), from Persian empire point of view in 500 BC when they name that area was people live next to water and they called it Dan (place) + Aba (water).

Its alright I already said at the beginning I am not sure about the information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
