Persian

"A Look At: Persian" -- Persian, a language with wide influence across much of Asia, has a lot of basic words that sound like English but mean something completely different. (Corrected from an earlier version of this video)

Great videos! I am a big fan of your channel. So informative and equally fun. I'm very interested in languages and linguistics. Some small corrections - 'Farsi' is pronounced far-see (as with these English words) with a tapped r, and (you probably know this), short a is always as in (American/British) English 'man'. A perk for American English speakers trying to learn Iranian Persian is that the vowels are quite the same in the standard pronunciation :D And the words Tajik, Tajiki and Tajikistan have 'a' pronounced like 'aw'.....actually 'aw' in British English, the same as the vowel in 'or'. A distinctive feature of the Tajik version. So Tajikistan is 'taw-jick-is-tawn' (an English spelling approximation).

The word 'بعد ' is not pronounced same az 'bad'.farsi is pitch-accent so in many word with sayng the vowels (specially long vowels) on high or low pitch the meaning would be completely different.
