Similarities Between Ukrainian and Persian

Two Ukrainian speakers, Alex and Bogdan, compete against two Persian speakers, Sara and Amir. The Persian language, which at times is referred to by its endonym Farsi, is a Western Iranian language within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. It holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It is referred to as Dari in Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan. It is also widely spoken in other parts of the Central Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia. Ukrainian (українська мова) is the official state language of Ukraine originating from the Old East Slavic of the early medieval state of Kievan Rus'. The Modern Ukrainian language has been in common use since the late 17th century. In this video we explore some similarities that the two languages share, despite one being an Iranian language, and the other being Slavic.

Bahador Alast. If I am not wrong then you previously uploaded this video few months ago, but then the title of this video was Persian vs. Russian. Both White guys in this video were Russian in your previous video, but in this video they are surprisingly Ukrainian.

[@BahadorAlast]

TA Videos You're right that these are the same guys, and in this video we had a different list of words. They are Russian speakers and they are Ukrainian nationals, so they speak both languages.

[@drakeson4841]

Perhaps it is rather difficult to meet Russian students (from Russia itself) there in Toronto, I suppose. I saw only one "Serbian-Russian" video on channel, with the participation of a Russian girl student.

[@Ecolinguist]

I love the idea of looking for connections between seemingly distant languages! I was so surprised to learn how Persian and Ukrainian are related. 😂They even got the sentences right!

[@alekshukhevych2644]

Nice to see you here. Indo-Iranians is the largest non-Slavic component within the Ukrainian ethno-genesis. The slavs there heavily intermixed with Indo-Iranians...That's why ethnologists are confused whether Sarmatians were Indo-Iranians or slavs, the truth is probably they were a mix of both!

[@gaijinbot8135]

They're not distant though, they are very similar. The Scythians which were an Iranian tribe lived and settled in modern day Ukraine from the 7th to 3rd BC. Their language sounds very similar to Ukrainian and it is said that Ukrainians originated from this tribe which originated from Iranians so Iranians and Ukrainians are very similar to each other.

But this ukrainians used some russian words that are inapropriate to this translation chalenge:for exemple words such as diamond and axe-they used to translate as like in russian-almaz and tapor and not like in ukrainian - diamant and sokyra!!They confuse the languages and give to the other part of peoples that ukrainian sounds and spells and use the same vocabulary -misconfusing them !!If it's Ukrainian and Persian then the ukrainian guys must use corect vocabulary words as in standart ukrainian language not mix or choose russian equiwalents,even if they know two of them!Persian pair don't used arabic borrowings in their language , but tried to use persian words!!!For russian-persian on this chanel is speciffic video!!!

I like how you tackled actual indoeuropean common words and ancient loanwords instead of just recent loanwords and international words. "Zhuvaty" vs "javidan", "shissot"" vs "shesh sad" definitely trace back to the common indoeuropean heritage. Topor is an ancient borrowing from Iranian languages, most probably from sarmatian or even scythian since it's known in old East Slavic from it's very beginning. Kalyan is a recent borrowing from Persian.

[@MarinaandAfshinTravel]

hey bahador, this video was amazing.and i would like to suggest something, can you make videos on different persian dialects, i would like to see a video about the differences between standard persian and the bandari dialect or the Ajami or Achami dialect . thanks ,and keep up the good work.

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you so much! I have actually been thinking about doing this. We'll try to organize it, the only issue is in Canada, when people speak Persian they tend to forget a lot of the dialectal terms and expressions. For example, Shahrzad is from Mashhad and my dad is from Hamedan, but I wouldn't say either one of us speak with that accent when we speak Persian. So I am just trying to have people take part who have a really noticeable accent and are very familiar with the dialects, whichever one it may be! :)

Thanks so much! I will certainly organize it as soon as I have a fluent Bulgarian speaker in Toronto to participate! But for sure, we will do it :)

[@Raoxsttelle]

Yeah also it shoud be pretty fun to see because our dna is thracian,slavic and proto-bulgar. And proto-bulgar were most likely from iranian descendant and i belive we still have some words in common, also the same with greek and since we were under ottoman rule for 500 years we obviously picked up some turkic words and after we got liberated we didnt have many words for many things that were in existence so we took many western words as well. And the core of the language is based from Old Bulgarian - which is Old Church Slavonic - spoken from late First Bulgarian Empire to the end of The Second Bulgarian Empire(the language that is bassicaly the root of every slavic language nowdays). So basically we shoud have in common with pretty much every indo-european language and it shoud be very interesting! :D

"topor" is ukrainian word too, but it's more old or dialectal form. Now it`s not literary, but popular. Some north dialects saved [o] or the old diphtongs which did not change to [i] (see: ikavism)

[@surrealsoul9120]

A little bit hookah etimology: "Kalyan", which means "bubbling or ebullitionin Farsi has come to Russian and Ukrainian through the contacts with Caucasian peoples, who did contact with Persians for many centuries. Hookah has come to English from India due to the British colonisation of the region. The word "Shisha" means "the glass for vessels or glass part of hookah" in Persian, but through this misinterpretation it came to America as the American name for hookah

Can you do dari and farsi even though it's kinda the same.

[@BahadorAlast]

You are correct that it's the same language but they both have unique slang and phrases and I am definitely planning to do Dari vs Farsi slang challenge!
