  • In this video I talk about the Persian language (Farsi, Dari, Tajik) and what`s fascinating about it. Persian often lives in the shadow of Arabic, but Persian is a major language in its own right. *Learn Persian with Persian Pod101: ► bit.ly/Persianpod101 ◄

      It is Farsi not Persian. In the Middle East it is known as Farsi not Persian. You go to Iran, they
      all will tell you their language is Farsi and not Persian. Use of the terminology "Persian" in the
      West is politically motivated.

      What is your mother tongue and how well you understand the languages of the other ethnicals groups in your country?
      Further questions, maybe included in the question above:
      - How well understand the Dari and Pashto speaking people each other?
      - And is there any difference between Tajiks in Afghanistan and Tajikistan?

      1- my mother tongui is persian/dari/farsi but I don't understand other languages in my country such as pashtu, uzbeki, turki, etc.
      2- though pashtu and farsi has a lot of words in common, but you can't understand each other. In my understanding, most of people who speak Pashtu understands and knows persian, but people who speak Persian do not undersant pashtu.
      3- I speak in terms of accent and language. well Tajiks in Afghanistan live in different areas (Herat, Badakhshan, Panjshir, Balkh, etc.) and their accent is a little different from each other. and yeah, they are different with the Tajiks of Tajikestan. I spoke with a guy from Tajikestan last year, though I could understand easily, but there are some very old and ancient words they still use in their language and that was very interesting for me.

      @@adanesh ​To be honest, I can't remember when I heard it for the first time. I guess most people hear in Austria respectively German speaking countries think they both sound similar because they don't listen properly and don't really care. But actually the Arabic language sounds very harsh because of the many throat sounds while Persian seems more melodic and faster to me. I think arguments or discussions of a group of old Persian men sound very funny, they are kinda busy all the time ;) It reminds me also a bit of Hindi - no wonder, they are related.
      But I could never distinguish Persian/Farsi/Dari from Pashto, Tajik or Kurdish etc.
      That's why I asked you the first question.
      I have another question for you: Can you recognize German among the other Germanic languages (Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian) or is it too difficult for you, cause in Afghanistan you don't get in touch with European languages (except English) or cultures?

      Are you an actual Tajik? because Tajiks ARE Persian. Did you know Al Bukhari, Ibn Sina, and Al Khwarizmi were Persians, and Uzbekistan was Persia, it was called "Khorasan" which means 'where the sun arrives" in Persian language. Later mongols came and massacred that part of Persia killing so many Persians, and after that seljuks came inhabted those lands and those the Uzbeks today.

    I had several Iranian friends when I was in college, I learned a few Farsi phrases which I’ve long since forgotten but I remember how lovely a spoken language it was. What I especially remember about them though, is how friendly and hospitable they were. No matter what time of day it was, if you stopped by they insisted on feeding you at least coffee or tea and something to eat. I’ve lost track of them but I hope they are all doing well.

      channelthegijoeshow yes of course. But using Persian loan words is very different from using the Persian language. There are a few Persian loan words in Marathi and a lot in Punjabi but that does not mean that the entire language was used. During the British colonial process, Maratha empire was the largest in India with Marathi as its official language. Followed by the Sikh empire with Punjabi and the Rajputana with Marwadi. Only the Sultanate and Nizams used Persian in their courts...which consisted of a small portion of India. If you go to South of India, the languages are almost untouched by Persian which shows that it did not have much of an influence in the south apart from Hyderabad and Telangana. They have more English influence than Persian. Persian influenced only the North Indian languages and Gujarati. Even then Gujarati has always been a mixing pot of loan words due the mercantile trade. The most affected language was of course old Hindustani or Khari Boli due to Islamic conquest of Delhi for 500+ years.

      It mostly has to do with how often you hear the dialect spoken.

But I can tell from personal experience that with a little exposure you will understand them as easily they understand you.

      Nice one thanks for sharing. There are many English and European words of Persian origin actually. Look at Wiki, also many country names were first used by Persians, and now are their international names:
      Including followings but not limited to:
      Goryo > Koryo > Korea
      Qin > Chin > China
      Hindustan
      Arabestan (don't like this one)

      Iranian Azeris directly draw their lineage from the Turkic/Mongol confederations of Genghis Khan. That blood line has spread amongst the Iranian population, some Iranians will have Turkic and Mongol features due to this. Same as the Hazara of Afghanistan.

    I started studying Persian / Farsi yesterday, and although I was aware that it’s an Indo-European language, I was still pleasantly surprised to find recognizable cognates with English and other European languages, even though the languages diverged millenia ago.
    Take for example the word for girl - دختر - dokhtar (doxtar/doxˈtʰæɾ).
    Compare this with English daughter; Scots dochter; Icelandic dóttir; Norwegian datter; Danish datter; Swedish dotter; West Frisian dochter; Dutch dochter; Afrikaans dogter; Luxembourgish Duechter; German Tochter; Yiddish טאָכטער (tokhter); Gothic 𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌷𐍄𐌰𐍂 (dauhter); Lithuanian duktė; Russian дочь (dočʹ); Sanskrit दुहितृ (dúhitṛ).

      The correct and Native Pronunciation is best described here: " Eerun" or "Eeraan" two syllables, one sounds lie the letter "E" and the second part sounds like the word"Run". I hope now you can stop saying you Ran somewhere whenever you want to tell me you know my back home country is the one beside the country GE Bush effed up.

      In all fairness you have to consider if the speaker is using the version appropriate to the language he is speaking. He is using a common anglicized pronunciation and is not rolling the R. Similarly in english we say Italian rather than the native Italiano.

    • @flapperf4237
      @flapperf4237 8 лет назад +17

      Dean Morris The pronunciation [I-Ran] has developed some derogatory tone to it. I think we should try to pronounce it as close/acceptable to native speakers. I remember an NBA match where the commentators were a bit rude to an Iranian NBA draft. They were emphasizing that he is from [III-RRRaaannn] and surely were being amused.

    The origin of Dari language:
    When Persian empire extended from Afghanistan to Egypt and beyond, Locals came to Persepolis (the capital of the empire with their gifts to present them to the King. Because the empire was vast and when the people gathered at the capital, they could not have conversation because each spoke a different language. So, the king asked to the scholars to design a language where people would learn it and be able to have a conversation with each other when they arrived at the capital.
    The name Dari comes from Darbari. "Darbar" in Persian means Palace hence "Dar" with the "i" at the end it means "related to". "Dari" means the language belonging to Palace or Palace language.

    On thing that i want to add to this information is, in Afghanistan about 90% of people speak in Persian. Most of them are native speakers and some of them speak as second language. Moreover, there is other people who speak in other language like Pashto and Uzbeki. But they use Persian for relationship. They don't speak in Pashto or Uzbeki because one of them may know pashto or Uzbeki but both of them can speak in Persian. So Persian is the second language for them and communicate with Persian. In brief, Persian language is the academic language in Afghanistan and also most of political men and women communicate with people by Persian.
