  • Domari and Sanskrit are both Indo-Aryan languages. Domari, which is sometimes referred to as Middle Eastern Romani, is spoken by the Dom people, a nomadic group originating from the Indian subcontinent who migrated and settled in the Middle East many centuries ago. In this video we explore some of the commonalities between the two languages, with Shivani (Sanskrit speaker) and Kamal (Domari speaker).

    Sanskrit (संस्कृत) is one of the oldest Indo-Aryan languages. It has influenced several Indo-European, Iranian, as well as European languages. It is the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and some texts of Buddhism and Jainism. Today, Sanskrit is still spoken as a primary language in some parts of India. Sanskrit has had a significant impact on languages outside of the Indian subcontinent. Sanskrit manuscripts and inscriptions have been found in China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Mongolia, Thailand, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Japan, and other parts of the world. It is very common to find words that are derived from Sanskrit in Chinese, Sino-Tibetan languages, Thai, Khmer, and Lao. Austronesian languages, such as Javanese, Malay, Tagalog, and Indonesian, also derive a portion of their vocabulary from Sanskrit. European languages, including English, also contain words derived from Sanskrit.
    Domari is an endangered Indo-Aryan language, which is spoken by the Dom people, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. It has native speakers in numerous countries across the region such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Sudan, and Lebanon.

      Bahador plz a request ,take your time 🙏 but please I want a sankrit videos with all languages from India to English channel🌊🌀 . Bcoz all ,yes all European languages have sanskrit words in it . Lithuania ( god ) = deva , sanskrit = deva
      English = 3 (three) , sanskrit = trree
      Eng = hepta (7) , sanskrit= septa
      Eng = name , sankrit = nama
      Eng = cow , sanskt = Gau
      Eng = mother , sansk = matra
      Italian = argentine (silver ) , sansk= arjun
      French= mort (death) , sansk = mrut
      This is just the tip of iceberg.
      Plz plz plz take your time may be year/s but make sanskrit videos with All European languages . That will attract a lot of crowd both from India and Europe.
      One more 😁
      Czech = veda (science which means knowledge) , sansk= veda ( knowledge )
      Another thing I forgot to write is
      The country Syria is pronounced "Ceeria" by us outsiders but the citizens of that country call their motherland as " sooriya " , which means sun 🌞 and the land of sun and guess what Sun is called in sanskrit , yes , exactly , it's called "Sooriya"

    OMG this one blew me away. As a languages graduate, I already knew that my native language, Italian, is an Indo-European language, just like its ancestor Latin and its "old, distant cousin" Sanskrit. But wow, Italian and Sanskrit are much closer than I thought. Here's the similarities (SA/DO/IT - ENG translation):
    - sarpa/sap/serpe, serpente (snake)
    - anguli/ungil/unghia (fingernail)
    - agni/ag/igni- (prefix meaning "fire")
    - nakra/nak/naso (nose)
    - manusya/manus/umano (human)
    - treni/tren/tre (three, 3)
    - ?/pesom/piselli (green peas)
    - kastha/kast/castello (this means "castle" and comes from Latin "castrum", which sounds really similar to "kastha" and refers to Roman forts usually built with wooden walls all around)
    - vanya/vay/aria (air. Not so similar, but "anya" sounds like "aria" a little bit)
    - churika/churi/coltello (knife, "coltello" comes from "culter", Latin word also meaning "knife", very similar to ENG "cutter" as well. Not sure about this one)

    Interesting! Kiswahili similarly adds a vowel to Hindi words like safari for safar to travel and sanduku for sanduk for box.

    So what is especially interesting to me is that despite the geographical distance modern Domari seems to have developed along the same path as other modern north Indian languages which in turn developed from different versions of Prakrit (the commonly spoken later layman's versions of Sanskrit).
    Sanskrit is the standardized classical root of those languages, with its grammatical richness and preciseness making it so amazing for both poetry, as well as theological and scientific texts. But in common man's usage obviously over hundreds of years the grammar got simplified, certain sounds modified or dropped completely, first giving rise to the Prakrits and then to the modern Indian languages.
    It's just super fascinating to see how languages derived from the same root language but that developed so far apart from each other ended up with so similar or close to identical modern words (like kaan for ear, pani for water, dur for far, manus for man, ungli for finger).

    Holyyyyu... wowwww. I learned Sanskrit in middle school, and 20 yeard later, I still remember all word forms and tenses, I loved sanskrit, amazing how similar the Domari is with its root language, kudos to dimari people to retain the language after all these centuries.

    I never heard about Domari before. Even never known before about the relation between Romani and Indo people. As a Bengali speaker form Bangladesh. I understood most of the words. Most of the words are very similar to Shangskrit or Domari. Great video. Learn lot of new things👍👍

    Great video. It is amazing to note that Sanskrit is so close to the Indo-European and Indo-Aryan languages. Archaic Tamil has no relation to Sanskrit. But you will find traces in Indian tribal languages, Brahui language and the languages of ancient Sumer and the Indus Valley. What a contrast! The invading colonists, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the British, the Danish and the Belgians were all Indo-Europeans and the cousins of the Indo-Aryans. Yet they keep denying that there was no Aryan invasion. Very strange!

    As far as I can see, the Domari language is more related to the various Prakrits derived from Sanskrit rather than Sanskrit itself. It is maybe due to the the time period in which these people migrated out of India. Unlike the previous populations who might have taken up from Classical Sanskrit or Vedic Sanskrit, this one has the Prakrit as the base language and thus the Prakrit version of words.

      Prakrit was the language of common people and Sanskrit of elite class ( rulers and priests ) ...this has been the rule since ages .. thus you'll find majority of the words similar to prakrit and prakrit is nothing but easy pronunciation of Sanskrit words .

    I'm an Arab guy, but I can speak bahasa Indonesia, the word Manus & Manusya is very close to the word (Manusia) which means Human in bahasa Indonesia, that's a mind blowing! also there's a word in Arabic language which is (Manhus) منحوس which means a person with a bad luck, that's close to the meaning of the word (Human) philosophically because of the struggles he's been through in this life.
