Yes. Sadly, only Indo-Iranian religions live on. Armenian, Slavic, Italic, Celtic and Germanic religions are almost lost. Though their is a revival of Indo-European Religion mostly among the Slavs and Germanics.
It consisted of multiple tribes even during the Sintashta culture. It was never one single group that conquered Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and eastern Middle East.
The religion lives on but not in its original form. Reformist movements within the religion has been going on since antiquity like Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Jainism. All these have affected the religion a lot. New ideas like monism and henotheism are now more mainstream than polytheism.

So crazy how much different the western and eastern Indo-Euoprean branches sound, in one the prevalence of five or more vowels is clear, yet with this it only seemingly possess three, though that very literally is untrue of its descendants as most do have at least five vowels. However, unrelated directly to Proto-Indo-Iranian, there was also another IE language that did have three vowels, and that was Luwian, but that was much older comparatively.
This is almost Sanskrit, Pali and Sinhala.😍 Even though, I am fluent in these three languages, this is really fascinating! 💯 Now I feel like I can speak Proto-Indo-Iranian language too. 😁
It almost sounds like Serbo-Croatian too. I imagine other Slavic speakers picked up on the similarities between a Proto-Iranian and their language. This sounds more like my language then German for example. There must been a Proto-Slavo-Iranic language in the last.
@@grandmastersreaction1267 Theirs a theory that Proto-Indo-Iranians lived near Proto-Balto-Slavs. Their language contact caused a sprachbund. Meaning that they influenced each other. Another theory states that Proto-Indo-Iranians and Proto-Balto-Slavs share a common ancestors and diverged out from that ancestor.
Iranians won't find any similarities because unlike Indic languages, the Iranic languages differentiated themseleves too much from their roots. Hindi is mostly based on Sanskrit while Persian is based on Old Persian which is only a distant relative of Avestan (the Iranic equivalent to Indic Sanskrit)
As a Serbia-Croatian speaker, this sounded a lot like my language. I imagine there are other Slavic speakers that think there are major similarities between Proto-Iranian and their language. This sounds more like my language than German, so there must have been a Proto-Slavo-Iranic language in the past.
basically the same :)) in Slovak and Czech some words have changed meanings, for example >> Worm: krmis-kirminas - krmi = feeds, eats, Foot: pats-pėda - pata = heel, pôda(puda) = soil (pedo-logy :) )), To vomit: wamhati-vemti - vem = take, Wing: parnam-sparnas - pero = feather, Red: hrawditas-raudonas - ruda = ore, but also red (archaically or poetically)
Native Marathi (Indo-Iranian->Indo-Aryan->Old Sanskrit->Vedic Sanskrit->Maharashtri Prakrit->Marathi) Speaker here, learnt Sanskrit in school and Hindi as a second language. This is absolutely intelligible with the Indo-European Languages I know.
@@byron-ih2ge What kinship do we have with you?Did you take a look at the shape of your image with us?We have no similarities. Linguistic similarity only 800 years ago. The heads of the Turkic empires that popularized the Persian language in India have been found.We are very different from you in terms of race
Ngl people commenting a proto language has similarities with the language which they speak,( which is descended from the proto Language) , makes me cringe everytime
Can you please do Proto-Afroasiatic, I am somali and would like to see the similarities between my language and proto-afroasiatic. This language is one of the oldest in the world.
me to as somali i would like to see the similarties between the hametic langauges proto cushitic berber ancient egyptian it's sad the semitic langauges are more popular than the hemitic languages and also north african speakes arabic then their native languages
as a north indian who knows some sanskrit word, i have guess quite a few word's meaning accurately without looking, and some sounds and word pattern are also very similar to sanskrit, btw sanskrit is standardized by the first linguist the great ancient indian linguist Panini
Just based on languages like Latvian and Sanskrit I would guess that the actual proto indo iranian was spoken a lot faster than that reading of Schleichers fable - instead of accentuating each long word they would likely glide over them more quickly, maybe like 1.5x speed. Still, awesome job!
@Min Thant maung i didn't say this persone is a mixture of persian and indian. I said its a language. So it does't mean anything else. *READ CAREFULLY*
You see a lot of similarities between this and the other proto-languages like proto-german. It is easier to see proto-Indo-European influence over everything before it gets so distant from one another that it is hard to distinguish they all descended from the same ancestral language.
Some clear proto-Indo-Iranian and (south) Slavic cognates with same meaning or little different meaning: aj ham - ja sam -I am tuH - ti - you tatra - tamo - there tad - to - this kim, čim - kai, kaj, što, ča - what kadaH - kada - when sarwas - svi, vsi - all krdHuš - kratak -short tanuš - tanak - narrow drHgas - dug - long jan - žena - woman maHta - mati - mother kwa - kuče (small dog) krmiš - crv, črv - worm daru - drvo - tree Hasti - kosti - bones trnam -trava - grass Hajwam - jaje -egg mamsas - meso - meat kayćas - kosa - hair naHsah - nos - nose jambHas - zub - tooth Hnakš - nokat - fingernail pats - pod (actaully modern meaning is floor) janu - koljeno - knee Hantram - iznutri(ce) - guts griHwah - griva - neck mane (like in lions) Hyakr - jetra - liver Hasti - jesti - to eat pibati - piti - to drink damati - duvati - to blow smayatay - smijati - to laugh ćrnwati - čuti - to hear janaHti - znati -to know bayHti - bojati -to fear mryatay - mrijeti, mreti - to die siždati -sjediti - to sit padyati - padati - to fall down (not walking) dadaHti - dati - to give darayati - držati - to hold maHas - mjesec, mesec - moon abrHas - oblak -cloud duHmas - dim - smoke Hagniš, HaHtar - oganj, vatra -fire grHiš - gora - mountain cawnas - crvena, črvena - red kršnas - crna, črna - black nakts - noć - night jimas- zima -cold nawas - novo -new Hsukšas - sušno, sušak - dry daćšinas -desno - right Hnama - ime - name Indo-Iranian, Baltic and Slavic are Satem languages, descended from common eastern CWC dialect.
Just at a glance not strictly looking at it through linguistic point of view I can recognise a lot words from it which seem to have changed little in my language which is Kashmiri. Some have a lot although still retaining many visible features. I am sure other words are also from these but they have changed beyond recognition. Abhras-cloud is obur Sarpas-snake is sorup Trayas-three is trey retaining the r after t. Razjus/rac-rope is raze Hdants-teeth is dand Krsnas-black is kruhun again retaining the r Dacsinas-right is Daechun
There are other terms for thick, fat, that we use, which are Proto-Indo-Iranian: Dhabh-bhar = Fat/thick/heavy - to bear/carry = to bear/carry- fat/thick/heavy. Proto-Indo-Iranian. We use it in the case of a person or a cucumber. As in a thick cucumber or a fat person. Dhebh- Proto-Indo-European. Bher- Proto-Indo-European. Related terms in other languages: Debelu Old Slavic = thick. Tapfar Old High German = heavy.
The Indo-Iranian languages constitute the largest language family in the world in terms of the number of languages and speakers and geographical distribution: 430 languages spoken by 1.5 billion people in 15 countries.
One popular theory says that balto-slavic languages are more related to germanic, italic and celtic languages (north-west PIE dialect) but there are more similarities here as I see.
As a Persian speaker and also as a person who is familiar with Iranian languages i can say some words sounds like an Indian trying to speak Persian or Kurdish
Persian roots of: .madar /( Mother ).ma ( creates) + dar ( us). Pedar ( father) .pe or payidan (watches)dar(us) Bradar( brother) bro(works for) dar (us) Dokhtar( daughter) dokh( milking & sewing) dar( for us) In Persian when we want to say sth is done we say (dar / tar) eg. Dar be dar(got away from us) . sizdahbe dar ( end of nowroz ceremony when finishes or 13 days finishes for us without grief and unluckiness). Be dar ( finished for us) In tati language which is sub language language in iran when we want to say we like our daughter for love we say she is our (tar) we remove dokh from dokhtar ( daughter) and just saying ( tar).means she is just for love in our family not for working .so we say she is our( tar )not daughter( dokhtar)
This is 95% similer to samskritam language.I understant almost every vocabulari but the pronounciation is a littil bit diferent but the words are same.
Can sameone explain why Proto-Indo-Iranian language is so similar to Lithuania ??? Interesting! I'm from Lithuania (one of Baltic county) we don't know much about the history of our language and everything below ~1500 after Christ almost nothing. In our ancient history, we used the swastika symbols. Our language are very similar to Ancient Sanskrit and I see it is also very similar to Proto-Indo-Iranian language too. Can someone explain
Auis ačuas-ka sounds very similar to latín ovis equus-que. The "que" as in "senatus populusque romanus", that means the conjuction "and". Sheep horse-and.
10,000 years ago, all Indo-Europeans lived in the Aral-Altai-Afghanistan region, because at that time Europe was still under an ice cover or a frosty tundra. Aryans, Celts, Slavs, Germans, Illyrians, Hellenes, Armenians, Scythians - they were neighbors, they had similar words and the same gods. Our native land was therefore the vicinity of the "highest" mountains in the world - the Heavenly Mountains (Tian-Shan)
I'm Polish and I recognize in this old language, four thousand years old, many words that remind my words, e.g.: two, three, four, five, six, what, not, long, short, heavy, man, woman, child, hair, nose, grass, to eat, to suck, to drink, to laugh, to cut, to sit, to kill, to give, etc.
in the Proto-Indo-Iranian word "heaven" I hear the Greek word God (Theos / Zeus) and the Slavic word strange / unusual, and also the Slavic word "girl" (i.e. - divine / heavenly / goddess). Well, our ancestors lived next to each other only 4-5 thousand years ago. I also recognize Germanic and Latin words that I know.
As a Kurdish, I can say this is far from modern Kurdish,example: knee is ejno in Kurdish ,very similar to french,and foot is pe similar again to Latins, five is penj similar to slavic
I speak Persian, Russian, English and other languages fluently. I found that there are many words which are still used directly in almost original forms in both Persian and Russian up to now..
I recognize 70% of the words from knowing hindi, bengali and some sanskrit. Pretty cool.
I speak Pashto, Farsi, Urdu/Hindi. Fantastic work, Andy. Truly sounds like a blend.
As somebody who has knowledge of Persian at an advanced level and whose mother tongues are Punjabi and Urdu. I can definitely recognize cognates in all 3 languages. It’s interesting how both the Iranic and Indic branches are obviously connected through Avestan and Sanskrit and further through PII!

Another theory states that Proto-Indo-Iranians and Proto-Balto-Slavs share a common ancestors and diverged out from that ancestor.
@Harshit Rajyaguru Yes.
Yeah! It's amazing
Iranians won't find any similarities because unlike Indic languages, the Iranic languages differentiated themseleves too much from their roots. Hindi is mostly based on Sanskrit while Persian is based on Old Persian which is only a distant relative of Avestan (the Iranic equivalent to Indic Sanskrit)
As a Serbia-Croatian speaker, this sounded a lot like my language. I imagine there are other Slavic speakers that think there are major similarities between Proto-Iranian and their language. This sounds more like my language than German, so there must have been a Proto-Slavo-Iranic language in the past.
Nope. Sanskrit is closer to Slavic languages. Compared to Iranian languages. Sanskrit is especially closer to Baltic languages like Lithuanian.
It's called Satem Indo-European languages
@Arminos Bambinos saying you speak Bosnian is like an American saying they speak American or an Australian saying they speak Australian. Cmon mate.
@@FirstLast-hz8ut nope what? Both can be true. I know Sanskrit is even closer to Slavic then Iranian, but Sanskrit also comes from Iranian.
@@FirstLast-hz8ut bruh. Sanskrit IS an Indo-Iranian language. Do some research before you correct someone.
Please prepare such a video for the Talysh language. Talysh belongs to the Iranian languages. It is spoken in Iran and Azerbaijan. Thank you.

@Dude with erenophobia it's not sanskrit, you are very ignorant
Thanks for making this video. I really loved it!
Great job! Super impressed with the focus on pronunciation, as always
Sounds very similar to Sanskrit
Most of them are similar to nowadays Kurdish.
I don't think so

@@byron-ih2ge What kinship do we have with you?Did you take a look at the shape of your image with us?We have no similarities. Linguistic similarity only 800 years ago.

Ngl people commenting a proto language has similarities with the language which they speak,( which is descended from the proto Language) , makes me cringe everytime
Especially when the proto language was reconstructed by using already existing languages
@@PersianHistorian yea
@@aryyancarman705 sadly this channel's comment section is plagued by people with no understanding of linguistics
Can you please do Proto-Afroasiatic, I am somali and would like to see the similarities between my language and proto-afroasiatic. This language is one of the oldest in the world.
Yesssss
Indeed it is.It's estimated to be around 17,000-10,000 years old,making it the oldest proto-language ever reconstructed
me to as somali i would like to see the similarties between the hametic langauges proto cushitic berber ancient egyptian it's sad the semitic langauges are more popular than the hemitic languages and also north african speakes arabic then their native languages
@hitler did noting worong even phoenicians migrants before islam. But berberist propaganda wants to deny the semitic identity of the region
it's too old i'm not sure if its even properly reconstructed
Im from Iran(persia) and i proud of my country and my race Aryan...
زنده باد ایران پارسی
Indo Persians my love..... From iran❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wrong. Indo-iranian*. Don't call it indo-persian
What is "Indo" meaning ?
Fascinating how close this is to Sanskrit. Pretty much all the words are the same as Sanskrit except a letter or two are different.
Lot in common with the Sanskrit that I use. Except that there are many words beginning with an "H", unlike in Sanskrit.
Yes it’s true, because they use Sound of H instead of S. like - Saraswati in India and Haraxwati in Old irani.
I counted a lot of similarities between proto indo iranian and modern persian.
I'm from China. this video is amazing and fascinating. Hope you can do the proto Sino-Tibetan language.😁
You should re-upload the Old Persian language video.
Agreed
Sanskrit and Hindi are very similar to this, I am very much surprised by each of the word.
This is a language from which Finnish received a few loanwords from during the ancient times that we still use today.
as a north indian who knows some sanskrit word, i have guess quite a few word's meaning accurately without looking, and some sounds and word pattern are also very similar to sanskrit, btw sanskrit is standardized by the first linguist the great ancient indian linguist Panini
Just imagine.... Black is Krishna in old Iranian.... 🤯 This is beyond amazing....
Just based on languages like Latvian and Sanskrit I would guess that the actual proto indo iranian was spoken a lot faster than that reading of Schleichers fable - instead of accentuating each long word they would likely glide over them more quickly, maybe like 1.5x speed. Still, awesome job!
3:20 In india we have god "krisna" who has dark complexion.
but black is "kala" in hindi.
Actually Krishna means dark/black
@Yung booy *kaala
The very reason he was named krishna is because it means dark..
This word was brrowed into proto-dravidian since it didn't had a word for black.
This language a mixture of persian and Indian with some russian tones.
@Min Thant maung i didn't say this persone is a mixture of persian and indian. I said its a language. So it does't mean anything else.
*READ CAREFULLY*
@GeekTv For Geek No it isnt lol
@Min Thant maung i ment sanskrit and Urdu
You see a lot of similarities between this and the other proto-languages like proto-german. It is easier to see proto-Indo-European influence over everything before it gets so distant from one another that it is hard to distinguish they all descended from the same ancestral language.
It is so similar that I could call it Sanskrit
It’s Sanskrit but a bit older.
Alot of similarities between indo Iranian and hindi🇮🇳

Indo-Iranian, Baltic and Slavic are Satem languages, descended from common eastern CWC dialect.
Just at a glance not strictly looking at it through linguistic point of view I can recognise a lot words from it which seem to have changed little in my language which is Kashmiri. Some have a lot although still retaining many visible features. I am sure other words are also from these but they have changed beyond recognition.
Abhras-cloud is obur
Sarpas-snake is sorup
Trayas-three is trey retaining the r after t.
Razjus/rac-rope is raze
Hdants-teeth is dand
Krsnas-black is kruhun again retaining the r
Dacsinas-right is Daechun
Proto-Indo-Iranian for Snake « Sarpas »
French for Snake « Serpent »
There's a similarity with the number two in almost all languages
Sounds like Ossetian, especially in the middle words of sentences
Omg I felt like someone is trying to speak broken sanckrit or somethin I'm really stunned!!!
LOTS of similarities specially the numbers
This words pronounce sometimes similar like in slavic languages. 👍
Exactly👌 and im persian turkmen
Oh! Hey great grandpa! Long time since I heard from you. ( My native tongue is an indo Aryan language).
There are other terms for thick, fat, that we use, which are Proto-Indo-Iranian:
Dhabh-bhar =
Fat/thick/heavy - to bear/carry = to bear/carry- fat/thick/heavy. Proto-Indo-Iranian.
We use it in the case of a person or a cucumber. As in a thick cucumber or a fat person.
Dhebh- Proto-Indo-European.
Bher- Proto-Indo-European.
Related terms in other languages:
Debelu Old Slavic = thick.
Tapfar Old High German = heavy.
The Indo-Iranian languages constitute the largest language family in the world in terms of the number of languages and speakers and geographical distribution: 430 languages spoken by 1.5 billion people in 15 countries.
Interesting ❤️☀️💚
As Farsi speaker Iranian i understood 40% of words
I found alot of similarities in Albanian
Proto Indo-Iranian is more similar with Albanian then Persian (a decended of Proto-Iranian) with Albanian?
There's a dash of sanskrit in it too
Like what?
Because theyre both south indo-european languages
and in Serbian
One popular theory says that balto-slavic languages are more related to germanic, italic and celtic languages (north-west PIE dialect) but there are more similarities here as I see.
Similar to Sanskritam.
I can see a lot of similarities to Sanskrit and a bit of Avestan too.
As Kurdish there’s a lot of word we using
As a Persian speaker and also as a person who is familiar with Iranian languages
i can say some words sounds like an Indian trying to speak Persian or Kurdish
Bengali language took many word(and simplified) from this language 🧡
Bruh I am Bengali and indo Iranian sounds sooo strange
Persian roots of:
.madar /( Mother ).ma ( creates) + dar ( us).
Pedar ( father) .pe or payidan (watches)dar(us)
Bradar( brother) bro(works for) dar (us)
Dokhtar( daughter) dokh( milking & sewing) dar( for us)
In Persian when we want to say sth is done we say (dar / tar)
eg. Dar be dar(got away from us) .
sizdahbe dar ( end of nowroz ceremony when finishes or 13 days finishes for us without grief and unluckiness).
Be dar ( finished for us)
In tati language which is sub language language in iran when we want to say we like our daughter for love we say she is our (tar) we remove dokh from dokhtar ( daughter) and just saying ( tar).means she is just for love in our family not for working .so we say she is our( tar )not daughter( dokhtar)
It sounds like mixture of Sanskrit and Persian
Basically the title LMAO. Yeah Proto-Indo-Iranian was reconstructed mainly using Sanskrit, Old-Persian and Avestan
Italian in 2021 in numbers: similar in 75%.
This is 95% similer to samskritam language.I understant almost every vocabulari but the pronounciation is a littil bit diferent but the words are same.
কৃষ্ণা/कृष्णा (Krishna) = Black
Can sameone explain why Proto-Indo-Iranian language is so similar to Lithuania ???
Interesting! I'm from Lithuania (one of Baltic county) we don't know much about the history of our language and everything below ~1500 after Christ almost nothing. In our ancient history, we used the swastika symbols. Our language are very similar to Ancient Sanskrit and I see it is also very similar to Proto-Indo-Iranian language too.
Can someone explain
Many words are used in persian language .Very interesting!
It is 99.99% similar to sanskrit
Auis ačuas-ka sounds very similar to latín ovis equus-que. The "que" as in "senatus populusque romanus", that means the conjuction "and". Sheep horse-and.
I found a lot of similarities of Proto-Indo-Iranian. Crazy
Its so close to sanskirt , seems like just 'h' is added btw the words and rest is same.
10,000 years ago, all Indo-Europeans lived in the Aral-Altai-Afghanistan region, because at that time Europe was still under an ice cover or a frosty tundra. Aryans, Celts, Slavs, Germans, Illyrians, Hellenes, Armenians, Scythians - they were neighbors, they had similar words and the same gods. Our native land was therefore the vicinity of the "highest" mountains in the world - the Heavenly Mountains (Tian-Shan)
I'm Polish and I recognize in this old language, four thousand years old, many words that remind my words, e.g.: two, three, four, five, six, what, not, long, short, heavy, man, woman, child, hair, nose, grass, to eat, to suck, to drink, to laugh, to cut, to sit, to kill, to give, etc.
in the Proto-Indo-Iranian word "heaven" I hear the Greek word God (Theos / Zeus) and the Slavic word strange / unusual, and also the Slavic word "girl" (i.e. - divine / heavenly / goddess). Well, our ancestors lived next to each other only 4-5 thousand years ago. I also recognize Germanic and Latin words that I know.
As a Kurdish, I can say this is far from modern Kurdish,example: knee is ejno in Kurdish ,very similar to french,and foot is pe similar again to Latins, five is penj similar to slavic
Sounds like a different dialect of Sanskrit! Craaazzyyy
Damn the word for father is still basically the same across so many languages.
What do people think about Iranians
*kadáH (when) seems slightly similar to polish "kiedy" or russian "когда/kogda"
It's like Kurdish but you add "Tcha" to the end of the words.
It Is almost Almost Sanskrit man😍😍😍😍
Omg. The words are still spoken in india.
Wow.
It's very very similar to sanskrit.
Even some of the words are same in Hindi.
Proto-Uralic please :)
I'm a proud Indian hindu 🇮🇳❤🕉
The sheep and the horse
Indo-iranian = áuis áćuās-ka
Latin = ovis equusque (-que = and)
Some of the words sound Persian a little bit
Yeah, persian descended from this
Idc what you say, this is 70% similar to Sanksrit, if not the pronunciation, almost all the words have similar roots and origins.
Its so similar to hindi qnd kashmiri 😊❤
I understood 60% of it
