Similarities Between Sanskrit and Persian

Persian and Sanskrit share a common origin and have a very ancient connection. Their common ancestor was Indo-Iranian, which later branched off into Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages. In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Sanskrit (संस्कृत) and Persian (فارسی), with Aanandi and Arnika representing Sanskrit, and Aryana and myself on the Persian side. Though we compared Sanskrit to Modern Persian for a wider reach, the words have entered modern Persian through Old Persian and as you will notice in the video, Old Persian and Sanskrit were much closer in terms of sounds, syntax, grammar and alphabetical order. Please note, that these words did not enter Persian through Sanskrit, as some people falsely claim in the comments, but rather, they share the same root and have a common origin.

- Thirst and thirsty, respectively - Sanskrit तृष्णा. Persian تشنه (teshneh)
- Newborn - Persian نوزاد (nozaad). Sanskrit नवजात (navajaata)
- Fifth - Sanskrit पंचम (panchama). Persian پنجم (panjom)
- Name - Persian نام (naam). Sanskrit: नाम (naama)
- Leather/skin - चर्म (charma). Persian چرم (charm)
- Nature - Persian سرشت (seresht), Sanskrit सृष्टि (Srishti)
- Knee - Sanskrit जानु (Jaanu). Persian زانو (zaanu)
- Milk - Persian شیر (sheer). Sanskrit क्षीर (Ksheera)
- Water - Sanskrit आप् (aap). Persian آب (aab).
- Cloud - Persian ابر (abr). Sanskrit अभ्र (abr)
Additional words that came up in conversation were names of body parts like prushtha/posht, angushtha/angosht.
Words under consonant change: Saptaha/hafte, Swapna/khwab and Swasru/khwahar.
Some other words that we discussed: names of animals such as ewe (mesh/meesh), mouse (mooshak/moosh), camel (Ushtra à oshtor à shotor), jackal (shrigal/shoghal).
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.
The Persian language (Farsi) is also an ancient language which has had a huge 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 numerous Turkic languages, as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent. Persian has a long history of literature and it was the first language in the Muslim world to break through Arabic's monopoly on writing. It was even established as a court tradition instead of Arabic under many ruling Muslim dynasties.

Persian and Sanskrit share a common origin. They are both Indo-Iranian language, a branch of the Indo-European language family, which later formed into Indo-Aryan and Iranian (Iranic) languages. These similarities and common words are not the result of Persian being influenced by Sanskrit, as some people falsely claimed in the comments, but rather, they share the same root and have a common ancestor. Be sure to follow us on Instagram and send us all your questions, suggestions and feedback: instagram.com/bahadoralast/ And no, I am not Zoroastrian. Since this question is frequently asked in the comments, I just want to clarify that this symbol, Faravahar, while it is a Zoroastrian religious symbol, is also an Iranian symbol used by millions of Iranians who are not Zoroastrian. You will see it in many non-Zoroastrian households, inside and outside Iran, and many wear it as a necklace or have a tattoo of it. Regardless of one's religion, Zoroastrianism plays a huge role in shaping the culture and identity of Iranian people today. Many Iranian Muslims, Baha'is, non-religious, and atheists consider Zoroastrianism to be a part of their identity, especially its important concept of "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds", which we are reminded of when we see the Faravahar. I don't usually have this as my background in other videos, however, for this video, I figured it was relevant, so I sat in that part of the living room. For all those who asked, the wall art behind me is from Oriavi. They have a lot of beautiful Persian items. This is their website: oriavi.com/

It's quite weird and interesting to watch this as a Lithuanian and a language nerd, because so many words you discussed are immediatly recognisable to me. Shaakhaa - Šaka (branch), basically identical to Sanskrit and Persian. mosht/muShTi - mušt/mušti, Persian is similar to dialectal Lithuanian where we'd say mušt and Sanskrit is similar to proper Lithuanian mušti, but in Lithuanian this means "to beat" and not "fist". trishna - troškulys (thirst), more similar to Sanskrit than Persian. Swapna - sapnas (dream) Swasru - sesuo (sister) Some others weren't as similar, like naam and naama (name) don't have a cognate in Lithuanian. The word for name is vardas which is from the PIE word for "word". Charma/charm (leather) doesn't have a cognate again. Leather/skin is "oda" in Lithuanian, which is related to the Sanskrit word for armor and probably had a the meaning of pelt/animal hide in Proto-Baltic, as the Finnish borrowing vuota means exactly those things. And other things you discussed, like grammar similarties are very much same, like a singer and painter would be daininkas, dailininkas, with a -kas/-kė ending added, similar to Sanskrit. A very interesting video, always fun to hear how these words changed over many millenia from when our ancestors went seperate ways, and not just read about them. Thank you, Bahador!

For instance: one small city = (eno) malo mesto, two small cities = (dve) mali mesti, three small cities = tri mala mesta, so endings are different in adjectives and nouns for one, two and three/four and in Slovenian even between four and five and more, for instance five small cities = pet malih mest. And this is only nominative case, Slovenian has six cases and in all cases dual is preserved. Dual is preserved also in verbs, for instance: I watch = (jaz) gledam, we two watch = (midva) gledava, we tree (or more) watch = (mi) gledamo, you watch = (ti) gledaš, you two watch (vidva) gledata, you three (or more) watch = (vi) gledate, they two watch = (onadva) gledata, they three (or more) watch= (oni) gledajo.

I would love to see reaction of our brothers/sisters from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey who speak Farsi and/or languages influenced by Farsi after hearing some Marathi words(influenced by Farsi). The GREAT part from the video is Arnika has explained everything in detail: how change of letters in the words can result in words from different languages and what is the exact pattern of this transformation/exchange. This was explained very beautifully with examples. I have never seen such a GREAT explanation before.

[@markomiljkovic1137]

Sanskrit with Slavic languages should be good

[@dymytryruban4324]

"Tvaya" means "by you" in Sanskrit and sounds very similar to Russian "твоя" which is a feminine form of "your(s)" "Prapata" is "пропасть" in Russian or "przepaść" in Polish.

[@dymytryruban4324]

@Blue Wind Are you aware that in Russian, vowels "о", "е" sound differently, when not stressed? Therefore "твоя" sounds like "тва'jа" in Serbian. Also if you are curious, try to translate words "понос", "пролив" and "майка" from Russian.

[@icxcnikasrb]

Just compare numbers in Serbian, Russian and Sanskrit

Slavic has its roots from tamil, check Marak zalem for more proofs

Nice video. The Way of pronouncing words in Afghanistans Persian is much closer to Sanskrit and other Indo-European, because in Afghanistan Persian was a little far from Arabic and less Arabic influences.

The Persian gets closer to Sanskrit if you look at Old Persian (and sometimes Avestan) forms. Modern Persian obviously compounded differences from PIE and the cognates get less recognizable. Just like Hindi/Urdu has compounded differences and many otherwise-related words sound very different.

Thanks Arnika ma'am you took this video to whole another level. There are so many ways to understand the similar patterns and vocabulary that so many languages have. We have a word Kameez for shirt in Hindi, Urdu, Persian and in spanish they call it camisa. (Keamiza) similarly Father, Pedar, Dukhtar, Daughter etc are prime examples.

[@ved6961]

Kameez is a Urdu Word not in Hindi

[@user-vg9fw6pe1x]

This is incredible and you've shown us such deep connections. I request you to do a Sanskrit-Russian similarities video. I likely requested earlier and then started learning Russian. I am just amazed at how many similar words and grammatical concepts there are. I'm sure many indians would understand and go bonkers on hearing the Russian "Priyatnava apetita" (bon appétit) because priyatna is a Sanskrit word. In fact some intonations in Russian are strikingly similar to Marathi and other Indian intonations.

[@gordonfreeman1842]

You see the dark-skinned black-haired descendants of Slavs. Their ancestors were not racist and mixed with the Dravidian race. Now the descendants don't look like whites. This will be a lesson for those who do not understand the consequences of interracial mixing.

[@tdshyt4412]

(correct me if typed any mistake) Many people in the comments are saying that this video is a nice evidence of aryan invasion theory/aryan Dravidian theory which is total nonsense to weaken indian integrity. Before just using this theory it is important to know how it originated(linguistic similarities) and also why is it in existence (just to weaken indian integrity and promote conversions). See any of these ↓ videos to get some knowledge and know some facts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYbKoHaEqdGXmbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn29lnqEhbt9hMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKPKamuMjL5ml8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZaYmmuOicuegLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5PWqpxqr757hpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoWTZqVui6tmbMk Don't be one sided think on both sides. Finally be on the right side. And my opinion is that aryan invasion is false and a reverse is true that is out of india migration. Some points to support out of india migration: 1. Similarities in the languages spoken. This supports aryan invasion theory also but, you can see that sanskrit is more organized than all those related languages. You can say that it was organized later when aryans came to india. But, every sanskrit word has a root word (Dhaatu). And every dhaatu represents a property. So all the words that have a same dhatu must have the property that the dhatu stands for. All this cannot be organized from a language which already has words for each thing. Even the alphabets of sanskrit are so much organized (according to the region of throat where each alphabet is pronounced and how it sounds when you speak fast or be lazy) 2. Many civilizations around the world are connected with india for a long time and many of them share many similarities.you can see that the names used in the west are very much derived from indian names.You can relate most of their names to sanskrit origin. 3. Sanatana dharmic civilization has a great effect on both bible and Quran. Many practices of christians and muslims are just transferred from their ancestors (who according to my opinion are directly related to sanatana dharmic civilization) __________________________________ I believe that the whole world used to follow the same religion/culture once upon a time and changes occured overtime. That all of us come from a single culture and we should be united by seeking truth rather than thinking that someone is high or someone is low . Those who believe in the aryan invasion theory just don't get offended but think yourself. You don't need to answer me but you must question your self and also find the answer. Tip: say yourself that you stand with truth but don't say what you stand with is truth. _________________________________ ( I request bahador to pin this comment if you really want to present this even just as the other side of the argument). No offence. We are all one and finally, Satyameva jayate.

@@tdshyt4412 Aryan invasion is true. Dark skinned people are the original inhabitants of India. Dark skin signifies living close to the equator. Light skinned Aryans arrived much later and therefore are still lighter in complexion to the tribals and Dravidians of India.
