Similarities Between Sanskrit and Domari

Domari and Sanskrit are both Indo-Aryan languages. Domari, which is sometimes referred to as Middle Eastern Romani, is spoken by the Dom people, a nomadic group originating from the Indian subcontinent who migrated and settled in the Middle East many centuries ago. In this video we explore some of the commonalities between the two languages, with Shivani (Sanskrit speaker) and Kamal (Domari speaker).

Sanskrit (संस्कृत) is one of the oldest Indo-Aryan languages. It has influenced several Indo-European, Iranian, as well as European languages. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and some texts of Buddhism and Jainism. Today, Sanskrit is still spoken as a primary language in some parts of India. Sanskrit has had a significant impact on languages outside of the Indian subcontinent. Sanskrit manuscripts and inscriptions have been found in China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Mongolia, Thailand, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Japan, and other parts of the world. It is very common to find words that are derived from Sanskrit in Chinese, Sino-Tibetan languages, Thai, Khmer, and Lao. Austronesian languages, such as Javanese, Malay, Tagalog, and Indonesian, also derive a portion of their vocabulary from Sanskrit. European languages, including English, also contain words derived from Sanskrit.
Domari is an endangered Indo-Aryan language, which is spoken by the Dom people, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. It has native speakers in numerous countries across the region such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Sudan, and Lebanon.

Bahador plz a request ,take your time 🙏 but please I want a sankrit videos with all languages from India to English channel🌊🌀 . Bcoz all ,yes all European languages have sanskrit words in it . Lithuania ( god ) = deva , sanskrit = deva English = 3 (three) , sanskrit = trree Eng = hepta (7) , sanskrit= septa Eng = name , sankrit = nama Eng = cow , sanskt = Gau Eng = mother , sansk = matra Italian = argentine (silver ) , sansk= arjun French= mort (death) , sansk = mrut This is just the tip of iceberg. Plz plz plz take your time may be year/s but make sanskrit videos with All European languages . That will attract a lot of crowd both from India and Europe. One more 😁 Czech = veda (science which means knowledge) , sansk= veda ( knowledge ) Another thing I forgot to write is The country Syria is pronounced "Ceeria" by us outsiders but the citizens of that country call their motherland as " sooriya " , which means sun 🌞 and the land of sun and guess what Sun is called in sanskrit , yes , exactly , it's called "Sooriya"

Oh wow Bahador, dombari is a tribe in Maharashtra. These are the long lost cousins of the dombari people. Marathi has almost all of the words. This is amazing. Makes me wonder that the resanskritization of Marathi and domari language migration happened at the same time. Maybe if Shivani Gurjar who seems to be a native speaker of Marathi, would have done a video of comparing with Marathi and Domari. Seems a good comparison

OMG this one blew me away. As a languages graduate, I already knew that my native language, Italian, is an Indo-European language, just like its ancestor Latin and its "old, distant cousin" Sanskrit. But wow, Italian and Sanskrit are much closer than I thought. Here's the similarities (SA/DO/IT - ENG translation): - sarpa/sap/serpe, serpente (snake) - anguli/ungil/unghia (fingernail) - agni/ag/igni- (prefix meaning "fire") - nakra/nak/naso (nose) - manusya/manus/umano (human) - treni/tren/tre (three, 3) - ?/pesom/piselli (green peas) - kastha/kast/castello (this means "castle" and comes from Latin "castrum", which sounds really similar to "kastha" and refers to Roman forts usually built with wooden walls all around) - vanya/vay/aria (air. Not so similar, but "anya" sounds like "aria" a little bit) - churika/churi/coltello (knife, "coltello" comes from "culter", Latin word also meaning "knife", very similar to ENG "cutter" as well. Not sure about this one) Love from 🇮🇹
