The Persian Language and What Makes It Fascinating

- 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 ◄

I am from Afghanistan. I have spoken with Iranians and Tajikis and we could understand each other easily. the accents are very beautiful.
Persian is the language of Art, Love and poet.
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?
@@StefanFuchsreiter
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.
Tashakor!! 😊🙌🏼
@@StefanFuchsreiter I also have a question. When you heard Persian and Arabic for the first time and you did not understand which one is which, did u feel both of them are similar?
I want to know that are spoken arabic and persian very similar to each other for a foreigner?
@@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?
Thank you for this amazing video! I am an Uzbek from Uzbekistan, but I am also a Tajik speaker! I have read Shahnameh, Firdowsi, actually it was in school curriculum! I love the Persian language, and have roots from modern day Iran! There is no other language in the world more beautiful than Persian/Tajik! ❤❤❤
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.

Outdtanding presentation. I am 86 years old and am almost motivated to start studying Persian.

It's very good dear Richard.
What's your purpose of learning Persian?
It's worth it just reading Hafez, but then again it's mot just him you can read... there will be a world of poetry
Richard Wilson good luck 👍
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.
Finally someone who knows the diffrence between persian and arabic🙂❤

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.
If you wanna learn Persian I can help you I am gonna be teaching Persian in my channel
Thanks its in every Persian blood hospitality from the hard
Here I learned a lot about history of my country language (Persian) from a non Iranian scholar! Well done Paul, you are fantastic.
Thanks, Ahmad! I appreciate the kind words.
Farsi in my opinion is the most poetic language I've ever heard.
Sorry, Arabic Fus'ha
Sweetest language I ever heard
Very close to my mother tongue balochi
Some time ago, I read a comment saying that Persian sounded like the language a dragon would speak.
I love irani poetry 😍🤗persian language ❤👌👍
language of Firdausi, Rumi and Hafeez...world literature
As a native Persian speaker, I'm here to tell you that Persian poems are so, so beautiful. I mean, you can't find anything like them anywhere. I'm so happy that Persian is my first language so that I can read them all and enjoy them. And I'm so happy that you made this video. Thank you! It's nice to see someone acknowledges the difference between Persian and Arabic. Arabic almost has nothing to do with our language.
I'm from Pakistan and Farsi was the official language of United Hindustan for many centuries...Our qawals and singers still sing Persian songs and we enjoy them a lot..We have many Persian proverbs and words in our languages..I have studied Persian grammar and I'm learning more vocabulary and I love poems of Jami, Rumi, Iqbal, Ameer khusro etc...Ameer khusro is such a different thing because he has mixed Farsi with Urdu in such a way that you will enjoy the chemistry...We have Farsi as a subject in an optional course our curriculum..Most of our religious and poetic work is still in Persian...In Almost every religious school, Persian is a compulsory subject..That's one fact that I wanted to share because I think the statistics in this video is wrong..No one speaks Farsi in Pakistan and India but at least between 10 to 20 million people can understand Farsi...
Arabic is a complete language though.
(I'm an Iranian btw)
I am grateful to my dear Iranian friend here in California who introduced me to the beauty of Persian poetry. Even though in English translation, it was still so beautiful, I can only imagine what it's like in the original language. She also introduced me to some wonderful Persian music.
Yup I agree with you its such a beautiful language with Most meaning full beautifully Rhyming Poems , Urdu had a great Influence of Persian.
Pakistanis can read Persian easily (and Arabic as well ) cause of a common script.
And to some extent I can guess What a Persian Person is speaking. I would say its a Delicious & Cute language. Urdu Poems are also very similar to Persian, Poetry of Alama Iqbal (our national poet) is My favorite with a Beautiful & revolutionary meanings and effects on Our society and Muslim World. he also wrote a lot in Persian
I'm happy you guys are finding Persian and its poems enjoyable! :)

BTW.. Persian was used as a court language in India up until the late 19th century. Indian and Pakistani courts still use many Persian legal jargon during proceedings,
Persian was court language in Northern India not in South India or Maharashtra.
Only in Muslim sultanates and Mughal empires. Not by the Travancore, Maratha, Rajput and Sikhs.
+Vaibhav Shah even in the British courts my friend.. "Tazirat e Hind", which means Indian Statute, "Zer e Dafaa" which means under section, "Mulzim" which means accused, "mujrim" which means convicted.. So on and so forth.. I'm sure u must be familiar with these Persian terms which are still used
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.

As a Persian I'm very satisfied with this video and wanted to thank you fro making it! It's very educational to those who have no clue about Persian. I also assumed you were Iranian because I usually don't see others talk about Persian so I was even more glad to find that this wasn't the case and Persian must have interested you enough to make multiple videos on!
Even Persians have names like Mitra ? Its a very common name in India and comes from old Sanskrit.
@@ranjitneelakandan9551 Yes because it's origin is Indo-Iranian we refer to it as a Persian name, though the name isn't among the most common ones

Thanks for the video, enjoyed it quite a lot!
I really like how Farsi sounds, soft and beautiful in my opinion. I had some Persian friends in Cyprus. Greetings frkm Cyprus!
The difference between Farsi and Dari is similar to the difference between American English and Scottish. The Scots can very fluently understand the Americans, but an American would have a hard time understanding Scott. Just as an afghan would easily understand an Iranian, but an Iranian typically would have more trouble understanding an Afghan.
Exactly as an afghan I understand whatever an Iranian says but they don't get properly what I say.
Actually, I have no problem understanding Afghan people.
@@sael52 just as some Americans don't have a problem understanding Scott's speaking English. But not the norm
It mostly has to do with how often you hear the dialect spoken. Afghan Persian speakers have had more encounters with Iranian Persian speakers (Tehrani dialect in particular) on average than vise versa. But I can tell from personal experience that with a little exposure you will understand them as easily they understand you.
@@parhamrahimi8050 I grew up with Afghans and Iranians. Afghani people typically understand Iranians far more easily than Iranians understand them, exposure or not..
woww, as a native Persian speaker and an Iranian, I am so impressed by the accuracy and eloquence of your presentation. Also the way you differentiated Persian from Arabic was something exceptional among non-Persian speakers. Thank you.

Shah Mat means the king is helpless.
It is a common mistake since "mat" means dead in Arabic but the source is Persian and not Arabic.
If it was "mord" originally then it's logical. Chess was introduced to Europe via the kingdom of Al-Andalus in Spain, where the Arabic speakers probably corrupted "mord" to "mat" to keep the same meaning but in Arabic, while still maintaining a similar sound to the original word.
In Arabic, we say كش ملك "kish melik" which is rather malformed but means roughly "chase king".

i was going to say that shah mat is arabic but you cleared that out for me. thanks mate ;)
''maat'' is persian for ''shocked''! not ''maat'' in arabic/verb//meaning ''died''!

Im also persian too! I love it when it gets brought up because I feel more proud to be persian!
Remove arabic completely from the language and your names. Until then it is impure and bears marks of islamic slavery that your ancestors had to go through.
Also, stop using that arabic script. Use the pre-islamic script that developed for persian language.

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).

thank you man your informations are totally right and i can approve them as a persian. nice content hope to see more of these wish you luck
Thank you Paul! You’re information is inspirational ! :)
I think it is pronounced [E-RAAN] rather than [I-RAN] as I have heard from native speakers.
It has to pronunciations: eeraan or I-ran. Just like Iraq: eeraq and I-raq. Both are acceptable. George Bush always said I-ran!
native speakers can't know...persian has no short i anymore. Some european languages still have those short and long U,i,o etc. It seems that iran was with short i, but modern persian ha non of those distinctions anymore. Too bad because many iranians in europe can't get the hang of these letters lol
anyway when someone says"Iran" I always reply" Where to"?
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.
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.

البته واژه "عجم" معنای جالبی نداره و عرب ها به هرکی که در بلاد نزدیکشون(بعد از اسلام و به دلیل فخرفروشی از این بابت که قرآن عربی و پیامبر عرب هست) عرب نبوده این صفت رو میدادن به معنی گنگ و کسی که نفهمه و طبق گواه خیلی از کارشناسان تاریخی و ادبیاتی این بیت شعر رو به فردوسی به دروغ نسبت دادن
سس ماست داداش
That was very nice 👍🏻

I've just learned that our German Schachmatt sounds exactly like the original Persian word.
Sounds like Russian "shakhmati".
In Polish it sounds "szachmat"
actually its arabic and persian (shah=king of persian) (mat= the past verb of dead in arabic=died )
In Polish it sounds pretty the same like the orginal phrase. Do English speakers call Persian kings ''checks''?
Built of 2 persian words: Schach= shah=king and Maatt=shocked. which means together the shocked shah= game over:)
You explained fully to undrestand other people with Persian
Thank you with your full information
Thank you so much for introducing Persian ❤️❤️
l speak Kurdish , love my Persian brothers and sisters
Tnx sister viva aryan peopel بژی کورد
kurdish is a farsi sub branch language .and kurds are iranain. no mater where the live.
We love you too my friend
@@alpha-hl9dy Keep Crying:)
@@alpha-hl9dy that is so stupid of you to say. Kurds are not Iranians but rather just in the same language family.
Persian is something like French of the east. It is the language of the literature. If you would try to learn the history of Turkish people, you should learn Persian too.
French is Persian of the west.
Bro the language of literature in Europe, is german
@Bahraini Girl zaboni faronsavi zebotar ast nisbat ba forsi barodar!
@Bahraini Girl i said french is more beautiful then persian
@Bahraini Girl i wrote it in persian because i thought 😂 you are persian , sorry pls
I really enjoyed every second of this. so true and useful
Great video. Thank you so much❤👏🏼
Persian language is the language of poetry. Don't forget reading the beautiful and thought provoking poems of Omar Khayyam, Hafiz, and Rumi. The poems of love.
Heeeeey, as a german...I have to defend our status as "the language of poets AND big thinkers" (we are greedy like that) by listing Goethe, Grimm, Heine, Rilke, Tucholsky, Schiller, Brecht, Lessing, Kästner, Busch, Ende, Mann, Marx, Engels..Nietzsche, Kant, von Braun, Benz, Fraunhofer, Zeiss, Porsche, Einstein, Koch, Zuse, Humboldt and all the great chemists i forget every time
@@YeeSoest Goethe was very much influenced by Persian poets. But yes German has a lot of poets too.
@Anton Boludo Watch this poetic short film in Persian: czcams.com/video/ivfTrElqUV8/video.html
I want to learn Persian to gain deeper knowledge of Persian history and culture!
Hi Paul, how are you? I'm Iranian and I would be glad to help you learn Persian. This is my Skype ID= mohammadreza.khaani
The morphology/grammar is actually in the level of Modern Scandinavian languages; only the script looks difficult to a Westerner. For a written beginner's medium, I'd suggest Wheeler Thackston's "Introduction to Persian", or the Lonely Planet Farsi Phrasebook (the 2008 version at least).
Looking forward to talking to you

I really like the way that you compared and contrasted the different versions of Persian across Iran, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. I speak the version of Persian that is the native language of Iran and can concur with the idea that there is a strong indo-european influence for Iranian Persian. For example, the word for "thank you" and "elevator" are both derived from the French language. I do not speak Dari or Tajiki, but I have heard my friends use it before and agree with your point that they are rather mutually intelligible. Whenever I hear them speak these Persian varieties, I am able to understand a few words here and there but know that if I was a native Persian speaker and had more experience around these varieties then I'd be more successful in understanding those languages. In addition, it is very interesting to me that these varieties of Persian are more mutually intelligible among formal speakers rather than casual speakers. I believe that it would have something to do with the formal speakers being more educated and literate, hence allowing them greater exposure to these varieties. I would also like to highlight your proper historical research on the origins of the words "Parsig" or "Parsik" and how those were the original names for the Middle Persian language before the Arabian conquest. I was hoping that you would continue your conversation about that topic and include that people say "Farsi" to describe the Modern Persian language because the Arab conquerors changed the name since there is no letter "P" in the Arabic language. Overall, I think your video was great and commend you for your research on such a rich and diverse culture.
Your research is really good. Well DONE
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.
Love this!
Thanks Bro im iranian and i didnt know this myself 🤣🤣🤣
Well said! I think it's totally true because dari language and Afghanistan placed between Iran and Tajikistan.
Wa Assalamu alaykum from Turkmenistan my Farsi brothers, lots of Farsi words are in Turkmen too.
and many turkish word in farsi. it is amazing when learning turkish language and read shared words.

Yes, ihis videuo is educational... And interesting, lively and fun! Enchanted and subscribed !
This video is nice and true.
I am an Iranian and just I can say thank you for introduce my 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.
Well said mate!
Facts. I know pashtuns who cant speak pashto but speak farsi. Those stats he gave in the video of just 25-30% speaking farsi in afghanistan is inaccurate. Pretty much everyone knows farsi
Thanks for wonderful presentation about Persian language.
You're welcome, I'm glad to hear that.
***** That`s an interesting idea.
Wawwww Paul I'm so excited cause I found your channel. Appreciate you cause you published lots of information about my country. Love you from Iran 🇮🇷❤🤝
If you need another information& also cultures about my country you can tell me❤
Hello, I am an Afghani living in Iran. You said that 25-30% of Afghans are Persian speakers, but the reality is that 70% are Persian speakers.
تشکر که در مورد زبانم ویدیو ساختید🇦🇫🇮🇷🌎Thank you for making a video about my language.
I’m Persian but unfortunately I didn’t know most of the information you gave about my language. So glad for your useful information ❤️
Really sorry. I'm Persian, and my parents taught me ow to speak our language.

You explained well 👏👏 Subscribed
Thanks! And welcome!
I am learning Farsi as a native Punjabi. Some words are as they are in English. Brother=Brather برادر, mother=mather مادر, father=Pathar پدر, better=behter بہتر etc. The "is" word is also quite like the Persian "est" است. Although it is more alike to the German one.
Edit: Daughter = Thokhter (دختر)
Bad = bath (بد) *voiced 'th'
balcony = balakhaneh (بالاخانه)
*'th' spelling which I have used in above words sounds closer to English voiced 'th' as in 'the', although some may argue that 'd' should have been used.
Wow, also "is" in French is "est"👌🏽 so cool
+Arslan Ahmad in Latin it is "est"
GehtEuch Nichtsan
There are no standard romanized spellings for Farsi words nor is it possible because of illogicalities in English spelling system. e.g. come, done have the same spelling pattern as more, bore, bone and gone still they are pronounced differently. So I have written the romanized spellings in my opinion. Please see the standard Farsi words written by me, which are accurate.
Secondly the 'd' sound in English is retro-flex but in Farsi that exact sound is not present. To me the english 'th' sound as in 'there' sounds more like persian 'd'. That's why I have used it. Thanks for the feedback :)
+Arslan Ahmad yes same in urdu(my language) and arabic as well
people of other languages dont really understand that romanizing middle eastern languages doesnt really represent the sound
like you said, the "د" is more like the hard "th" in english and the "ت" is more like the voiceless hard "th" in english
also we have ڈ ,ٹ and ڑ which have no english equivalent
+namn in Arabic we don't have ڈ ٹ ڑ
During the time of Zaratustra, people start learning to tell each other SEPAS before saying goodbye. It means not to forget to pass on the 3 things: Right thoughts, Right speech, Right action 😊

Hi dear friend; I am Iranian and now I am watching your video. I was very happy. And I subscribed. Thank you for introducing our history. But without our history, it is older than you think Also, I would love to know what country you are from 🙏🏻💚
I'm American, from Kentucky, and I have long thought that Farsi is the most beautiful language to listen to. And Iranian food is the most delicious.
I'm a native Kurdish speaker that would like to learn Farsi and I'm blessed I think with the fact that Farsi is so closely related to Kurdish. I plan to learn it after finishing my French/German courses
Both Persian and kurdish are Iranic so theyre close.
+Darius Ashkani yes exactly. Any idea how long it would take for me to learn Persian? I now already I'd say around 10-20%+ of it..
You Kurds are one full leg of the Persian Empire hence one full leg of world's largest Empire to this date subjecting 44.48% under its rule, without militarily enforcing them. Persian is Kurdish and Kurdish is Persian. Peace.
farsî gelek (zor) ferqî niye li gel kurdî. 40-60% kelîmey kurdî û farsî her yêkin. min kurdî Rojhelatim ama 5 salim bu çûma bakur wa li bakurî kurdistan min farsi fêr bum. tu ditwanî ba 2 mang farsî fêr bî. ama yasta min alfabî farsî nazanim
+Mirko H. Gosh I think you can pick it up in a matter of couple of months lol..I've read that Kurdish and Persian have 80% lexical similarity.. but also a lot of words are the same it's just sometimes you guys pronounce it so differently from us Persians. You are a kurds from where? Obviously not Iran b/c you'd already be fluent.. I think depending on which Kurdish dialect you speak probably will make a difference as well. Nevertheless all the Iranian-Kurds are your best bet if you want to learn
Thank you. I am learning persian/farsi but I had no idea about its history. I loved you objectivity and clarity. Congrats!
The history of Iran really makes sense, trust me on that. However that I myself hate to read history at all...
Its fantastic to learn Persian. 👍💖 u can read and learn about Persian empire and literature....its amazing
What a wonderful and educational video. Thank you
Ok 🙌
I learned more than i basically knew about my own language
So i appreciate you 🙏
