Corrections: 4:19 I learned of some instances where Hindi can drop the pronoun, with removing them being very common within context. 5:00 With तुम क्या खाते हो it's only used in the general present form, rather than the function of both general present and progressive tenses in many other IE languages. 5:41 The infinitive ending is -dan; in many past stems you remove just -an, but as stated, many present and past stems are irregular as we see with the example verb. 6:43 ती is also for the feminine plural, and another form तीं is seen as a feminine plural in other contexts. 7:57 There's also a perfective form: हमने लोगों को पैसे दिए 10:57 A Persian loan हफ़्ता exists and is actually used more than Sanskrit सप्ताह; The word for Seven is also not "in the word," moreso derived from it, but both words are cognates.
नेपाली is also compareble to Farsi; For example when counting things, Persian adds ta in the end of the number: This is also true in Bangla. But, Hindi/ Urdu lacks this feature.
One mistake; retroflex consonants are not just 'consonants where your tongue touches the roof of your mouth'. That includes basically every consonant that involves your tongue. In retroflex consonants, the tongue is curled slightly, and located a bit further back than where most English speakers pronounce their /t/ sounds. Otherwise, great video!
Yes I also found that explanation very simplistic, but maybe he's been so concise because he expects that someone who watches this kind of videos already knows by a long time what retroflex means.
The biggest similarity is perhaps the numbers Persian - Hindi 1. yek - ek 2. do - do 3. seh - tīn 4 chahār - chār 5. panj - pānch 6. shash - chheh (Sanskrit - shash / shat) 7. haft - sāt (Sanskrit - sapta) 8 hasht - āth (Sanskrit "ashta") 9. noh - nau 10. dah - das Hindi had borrowed words from Persian. Some of the loanwords happen to be very similar to native Hindi words for example, band (Persian) vs bandh (Hindi) both mean "closed" or "tied". sar (Persian) vs sir (Hindi) both mean "head".
Also in Hindi there's Rang from Sanskrit and rang from Persian ,door from Sanskrit and door from Persian. Then there's shaakha from Sanskrit and saakh from Persian
Thnx for the video! I wanted to add that in Tajiki and Dari of persian they pronunce ق the way the arabs do so there's a difference between ق and غ.Also the pronunciation is more similar to the classical persian ,which from the hindi took words from so the words sounds more similar or indectical.For example ديل they pronounce as dil .In Tajiki variety it's written as дил,i mean they write both long and short vowels.
thanks to the man panini for giving perfect shape to samskrit and standardising it in a unique way. samskrit has created many indian languages and influenced many asian and europian languages' vocabulary.
Some of these similarities are thank to PIE and PII languages, but a large part of them is due to the influence of Persian bureaucrats brought to India by the Turkic empires on Hindustani. Also, Hindustani language was redeveloped by Turkic scholar Amir Khusrau who created Urdu language which has even more Persian loanwords.
AlsoModern standard Urdu as we know it today developed in Delhi in the 18th century,a century earlier than modern Hindi. It was called zuban maula e Urdu i.e language of the fortified city. As most speakers of these walled cities under Mughal empire were local muslims who looked up to persianate culture,the language acquired a lot and a lot of persian and by extension Arabic imprint.
Khusrow writing on the other hand not only appears more braj but while it had a lot of persian words , it was nowhere near as we have in urdu we know today,as much as found in the urdu of Ghalib for instance. He instead used some fairly sanskritised vocabulary too like prem ,nain, mad,sansaar. So I don't know what you mean by redeveloped hindustani. He is more like one of the pioneers or earliest writers of hindustani (that is if you consider braj as one of the varieties of) Hindustani
It would be great if you could also make a video on the similarities between Turkish and Mongolian. As a source, I can recommend the Etymological Dictionary of Altaic Languages and Martine Robbeet’s works.
@@tokmakchibashi That’s not enough to put them in same family all those Turk languages are under Turkic language family however Mongolian is not one of them it has its own language family If you put a Turkish person and a Mongolian person together and both speak their own language none of them will understand what both says
@@tokmakchibashi Yes because you can find many words that relate Russian and German to other European languages which makes them part of the same Indo-European language branch but you can not do the same with Turkic languages and Mongolian language which both belongs to two different languages branch which are not related to each other

Can you do Farsi vs Urdu too to show the even closer relation between the two languages
नेपाली is also compareble to Farsi; For example when counting things, Persian adds ta in the end of the number: This is also true in Bangla. But, Hindi/ Urdu lacks this feature.
Given the three major historical periods that encouraged substantial contact between these languages, substantial commonalities should be expected.
Greatest job ❤

past stems are never irregular in Persian. the past stem is always derivable from the infinitive.
