- In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Bosnian (bosanski / босански) and Persian (فارسی / форсӣ) with Sara, a Bosnian speaker from Bosnia, and Naghmeh, a Persian speaker from Iran.

The Persian language (Farsi) is also an ancient language which has had a huge amount of impact on other languages and cultures, mainly the Middle East, as well as Central and South Asia. Classified as one of the Western Iranian languages, Persian holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Persian has strongly influenced many different languages, including numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent. Persian has a long history of literature and it was notable for being the first language in the Muslim world to break through Arabic's monopoly on writing. The Persian language has also influenced the Arabic language, although the impact of Arabic on Persian has been higher. But the influence of Persian in the Muslim world has been strong since the early days of Islam. It was even established as a court tradition instead of Arabic under many ruling Muslim dynasties.
The Bosnian language is mainly used by Bosniaks and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnian is also recognized as a minority language in Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Kosovo. - บันเทิง

To all our Persian speaking viewers, I recently took part in a video on PedramTalks. It's a channel that interviews Iranian-Canadians and talks about their achievements. Check it out when you get the chance: th-cam.com/video/3veM7aZHu9o/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to watch any similarity between Persian and sanskrit. As both are Indo-aryan branch of languages, whereas Sanskrit is ancient language used by Aryans who migrated from Caucasian region towards Iran, India, turkey & European areas.
Sanskrit is still used in India.
Thanks. 👍

Very nice video, one other thing the Ottomans brought to the Balkans is the 'Ezafe' in the Albanian language, and probably many other things.
@Shalom Shalom Namaz as known in India is the ritual prayers prescribed by Islam to be observed five times a day.
Namaskar is greetings to the person on his face.
Namaz = Pooja in Hindi.
In Bosnia Liver is also jegar we say for human liver džigera or džigara (the second word is right because it have gara what in Bosnian mean black) if i write in persian is Jegara, word Džigerica is used for bird or chicken liver.
You may do the TAMIL vs ENGLISH
It's almost 50,000 words were similar between these two languages
PROOF : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Dravidian_origin
* GO TO TAMIL SECTION *
WHY TAMIL ?
TAMIL WAS THE ORIGIN OF DRAVDIAN LANGUAGES AND
MANY FOREIGN RESEARCHERS TRIED TO PROVE THAT
TAMIL WAS THE " ORIGIN OF FIRST LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD "

A lot of Bosniaks live here in Slovenia. Here they are fourth largest ethnic group. They are our South Slavic brothers and sisters!
She look like turks tbh. Like majority of bosniaks.
@@ocho989 there is no generally defined 'look' that is suited to Turks. What you're saying is utter nonsense.

Absolutely!
Intelligent u mean like CIA?
Thank you 😊
She is for sure
@@ODOYCHEAPFRED No haha. I mean that she is very smart. I am also Bosnian, and she caught up on words waaay quicker than I did.
Using "Şalvar" for pants in Turkish would be so funny, just like when some older generations use "Pabuç" for shoes 😂 as nowadays it's more often used for slippers. Understood all words immediately as a Turkish speaker, and we also use "nine" sometimes pronounced as "nene" as grandma, as well as "nane" for mint. Well done 👏
We also use papuce for slippers, and have a lot of words from Turkish.
Cool , Turkish has many Persian loanwards
Şalvar and papuş or pabuç are persian words and papuş means footwear or foot cover which actually means shoe.
Rende de aynı
Hi yes in Turkish culture Shalvar is the name of a type of pants that's more used pyjama pants. The difference in Persian is that shalvar is used for just pants. Or you can change some names, for instance Shalvar Lee, jeans, Shalvarak, shorts.
when you are Tatar from Russia and can understand everything))
Crimean and tatarstan tatars can understand each other?
How did Persian enter Tatar?
@@ronald7373 Of course can! Crimean is more like Turkish, but generally they are very close
@@sara_s_ from antiquity, when the Old Bulgarian tribes (which were the forerunners of the Tatar people) were in close contact with Iranian-speaking tribes
You look like russian
Persians words in Bosnian are mostly via the Ottomans. In Seljuk and certain Ottoman periods the Court language was Persian (surprisingly not Turkish). It would have been also interesting to compare the cognates between the Ancient Slavic and Ancient Persian. I remember once when a Serbian girl counted to ten it sounded so much like the Persian numbers. Slavic languages and Persian both belong to the Satem family of Indo-European languages.
This was a great episode, greetings from Serbia both to Bosnian and Iranian side
Yay!
@DSX i know right .... props to Never more
Lots of love from Iran
Amazing! I speak Turkish but I understand every word! There were Arabic, Persian, Greek and even a Turkic word(kaşık=spoon). Probably all those words are pass through to Bosnian because of Ottomans.
A lot of Turkish is not just in Bosnian but Serbian and Croatian as well . Even tho Serbs and Croats try to change a lot of it as it is related to religion.
• Merhaba , Akšam , Sabah , Medresa , Dženaza , Bašum Sagosum , Dostum Sagosum , Amanet , Mezar
• Kapija , Bazar , Čaršija , Sevdah , šerbe , pekmez , Sandžak
And many many more .
You underestand every word because Turkish is not a language by itself rather it's a mix of Mongolian, Persian, Arabic and some Latin.
@@ISLAMMEHMEDOV 40% of Turkish is Farsi, and more than 30% is Arabic. Your laughter of ignorance does not surprise anyone. 🤡
Finally Bosnian!
Lu Pa why you hating??
@@elsuidaxx7106 He's not hating its true, there is no such thing as a Bosnian language.
Are you Bosnian?
@@Wolverine-ky9gk off course there is, inform yourself better and stop sharing wrong information, it is so easy to be informed nowadays, why stay ignorant
@Lu Pa muslim, catholic, orthodox. Bosnian, croatian, serbian. Bosnians are slavs who kept their heritage far longer than bulgarianised serbs.
Maybe Namaz means smth that you spread on bread because in Russian (slavic) is namazat, mazat (намазать) which means to spread, to apply
Namaz derives from Indian namaste, means reverence.
Actually mazat in your comment looked salient to me. We use mezat for auction in Turkish. We have a phrase "haraç mezat satmak" means to sell out goods with budget price,
Bosnian is heavily dependent on accent, like English.
Nāmaz is a spread, a cheese paste.
Namāz is Salah.
In serbian we also say "maziti", for petting something, like petting a dog
@Dino Jusufović most bosniaks have slavic origins. this idea of turkish origin is contemporary bosniak nationalist propaganda and nothing else. complete and utter bullshit.
@Dino Jusufović fake news

Great to learn the similarities.. super work bahador
Greetings to our Bosniak brothers and sisters from Türkiye.🇹🇷❤🇧🇦
My name is Dario and that's actually an old Persian name,but also popular in Italy ;)
Darius.
@@kiril1 Yep,that was an old king!
My uncle is from Croatia and his name is Dario as well! He says that his name is quite popular in Croatia
The original persian name was Darā. Dario is the Italian version ,Darius is the greek version of the same name! And Dariuş is the hebrew word that eventually Iranians use today mostly. but both names exist in persian!
Average Iranians unfortumatly suck in their own mother tongue! Its a shame! As soon as they hear something they think the way they using the grammar/words is the most currect persian. i studied traditional persian and also parthian avesta (old avesta) The tehranis language counld be count even as an arabic language .Their language so different than originall persian. The name is beautiful in Italian too, nice!
Sounds like Mario
The Bosniaks have much Turkish Words and much Turks Words come
from Persia and Arabia ! Nice Video ! I like Part 2 Bosnian and Persian !
Thanks, for 'part 2', we'll compare Bosnian to another language :)
Bosnian doesnt exist its serbian My greek brother
@@filiptomic6187 Bosnian does exist. Maybe Serbian is actually Bosnian? Don't continue Srebrenica here, to claim it doesn't exist is still genocide.
Remove your pfp is annoying asf you use our kutlesh sun there
@DDD DDD Macedonia is slavised not slavic just like Egyptians are arabised and not arabs and look maps before ottomans you didn't have Macedonia
Very interesting piece.
I had no idea that Farsi has a lot in common with Bosnian language.
Enjoyed!
Because the people from Bosnia und Croatia before they came to Europe were in Persia. My husband's grandfather knows that because they are stories about that...
@@nandy178 That is just old legends that the croat nationalist propaganda used to claim they are not slavic, but of "aryan" blood. It was disproven by genetic research. The most probable reason for these similarities is the fact that persians had huge influence on the ottoman empire, and many words found their way to the everyday use in the Ottoman empire (which Bosnia was a part of). A proof of that are some comments saying that all of those words also exist in Turkish language :)
@@nandy178 nope. It because Of Ottomans. Turkish already have all of these Persian origin words. Balkan Nations got this words from Turks. That's why there is common words between Persian-Turkish-Balkan languages
Farid Aryan I have studied my father’s roots! My ancient ancestor came from Khorasan, Persia about XIV century like Turkish military commander! I want come to Iran to find my roots! Btw my mother’s roots from Northern Europe Viking! I’m now from Bosnia! Very interesting history!
@@realistavelicanstveni9698 wow now that's a cool mixed heritage!
Bahador, your videos always amazes me.
Rande (pronounced in Hindi/Urdu) as Randha is an instrument used by furniture makers to scrap wooden planks. :-)
The same thing in uzbek, we call it randa.
The same thing in farsi afghan, we call it randa.
Same as Urdu رندہ , but in video they were using to chop fruits or vegetables which we use کدو کش
Bahador, make one on Bosnian and Urdu! As an Urdu speaker, I am amazed at the similarities with Bosnian already! I actually understood all the Bosnian words.
It's because they're Persian or Arabic words that are in Urdu.
@@Leo-qz2zd
You are correct.
Yaaaas! Thank you for finally including Bosnian language 😊 (so many people think that it is the same to croatian or serbian when in fact there is so much differences between them)
Oh, but they ARE the same language and it has a name - Serbo-Croatian! Unless you think that 'tap' and 'faucet', 'pants' and 'trousers' are enough differences to say that there is an American language distinct from English.
@@wyqtor stop continuing #Srebrenica here, you can't wipe out a language. It's called genocide.
"Bosnian" and "Montengran" non existent languages only made a "language" now for political purposes, no such thing in the past. I used to hate the term balkanization but now I understand what it means.
@@mattbarbarich3295 Ako bosanski ne postoji kako je onda ukinut 1910? Ako ne postoji otkud njegov riječnik napisan 1631. godine? Otkud knjiga njegove gramatike 1890. godine? Bosanski postoji stoljećima i dokje bio ukinut narod je znaoza svoj jezik. Nemate dokaza da ga negirate.

Loved it. Thank you, for long-term wandering about it,
I speak both Persian and Turkish so I understood her sentence in Bosnian! So crazy!
Are you Iranian Azeri?
Maayan Haza Yes.
because you both use Arabic word oridin
Thank you for including Bosnian in your videos. Pozdrav iz Sarajeva!
Thank you Bahador-jan and the participants.
About the sentence which the Bosnian lady said: he eats with spoon
The word "on" also exists in Persian. "On" in Persian means he, she, it. Since the pronoun is not changed according to Gender (unlike the Slavic version).
The Pro-nouns in Slavic languages are mostly close or similar to those of Persians.
Exactly. I had many Serbian Croatian and Bosnian friends and their language is very similar to Persian, beyond loanwords. That's because slavic languages and Iranic languages are of the Satem group on the indo-European tree
Loved it, as always :)
Thank you Bahador
Salwar = loose fitting trousers in Hindi or Urdu! Jigar is liver! Thanks to the influence of Persian on Hindi/Urdu so many common words we have with Persiana and Bosnian
Bahadır beyi tebrik ederim bu videoda iki dil arasındaki ortak kelimeler aslında İran'dan Türk'lere bizdende Bosna halkına geçen sözlerdir.
I'd like to see bashkir with another turkic language
Me too +++

Great video as always ! Jigar ( жигар) also means liver in Uzbek language. It’s so amazing how many languages have so many words in common but sometimes have completely different meaning to them
Same Jiger is used in Urdu too,
In bosnia we write it džigar/џигар
Džigarica/џигарица
Thank you Bahador bey for the nice video! I have few request. Can you do Turkish vs Georgian or Turkish vs Chechen. And also i heard some arabic dialects have turkic loanwords and I’m curious about them. 🙃
Thank you everyone for the support! Hvala svima na podršci 😊
Sara M proud of you sestra!
Sara M Hvala na dobrom predstavljanju bosanskog jezika!

You were great and I really enjoyed this video. And a lot of these words exist in Croatian, not as much in the standard language, but more in dialects or slangs. I'm Croatian, pozdrav Bosni!
But Sara,you've forgatten to say "ibrik " which is same in Turkish,and all the rest *(almost) salamlar fr,Sweden
In Uyghur: Randa is plainer, horaz is 🐓, badam is almond, namaz is pray, Jiger is liver.koxuk is spoon.
you got lots of Persian words too since Persians were there till Mongol invasion.

Every word in the video also exist in Turkish. Nice video.

Steven Mercado what is wrong with you? Keep your grudges to yourself. This channel is not for people like you.
@@rasoz_ is not for you either
@@stevenmercado5205 are you racist?
Quality is really good in this video, when she said the sentence it sounded similar to Persian, i think the phonetics are similar in both languages
Great video, thanks a lot 🙏🏻 Being myself Tatar, I recognize both Persian and Slavic words ❤️
Çeşmä, qoraz (dial.), barût, qaşıq, çalbar, badäm, namaz. All have the same meanings in Tatar.
"On jest" (he's eating) - this one I understand from Russian, as well as "namaz" (n) from the verb "namazatj" meaning "smear", "slasher", "grease".
I remember there was a task to deduct what an article entitled "Večernij namaz" (Evening _namaz_ in Russian) was written about. Most students answered it was about the evening prayer, but it actually was about how using a facial cream before going to bed benefits your health 😅
Interesting
Its because Tatars are Turkic and those words came to ur language throuh Turkish
it is not Slav lenguege,but Bosnian
I would love to visit Bosnia!
👍
In some Tunisian and Libyan regions, shishma شيشمه means
faucet/ tap (And Sometimes source/fountain/ spring of water)
In some Algerian regions, the word shishma شيشمه means bathroom/ WC
In Kuwait, the word shishm ششمه means glasses
Ah interesting! In Urdu چشمہ means fountain and also eye glasses. Intriguing also how in Arabic عين means river and also eye.
In Bulgarian to 👍
In Czech we have somewat similar RENDLÍK (colloquial, meaning 'saucepan'), POMAZÁNKA (noun, meaning 'spread', verb NAMAZAT with the same meaning) and ON JÍ ... (meaning 'he eats'...).
That's probably due to the history and iranian tribes (sarmatians) influence on slavic languages, btw as a Persian I adore czech Republic till the point that I feel my past life was there, of course if reincarnation would be true

Bahador jan in armenian we use the term "randa" rather for a wood polisher/grater. Could it be the same in Persian?
Yes Armen jan. The Armenian word ռանդա (randa) is derived from the same word.

I understand the suffering you went through, but with a little bit of objectivity we outsiders must say that Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin are actually one and the same language. Try to understand that there are more differences between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese than between your respective dialects.
@@nykos222 I know, I speak Spanish and English, I know the differences and similarities very well. This is simply the way of nomenclature, and the way we function. You chose not to change and it is OK. We respect you. Greetings, and so sad to see so many people against our right to call our language the way we want. IF other nations on the Balkan have the same right so do we. LONG LIVE Bosnia!
@@nykos222 make the same arguments on Serbian/Croatian videos too and not ONLY Bosnian ones. So, on Serbian/Croatian language videos, say "this is same as Bosnian". This way, you won't be biased and behave in a racist way.
Some of these words are present in Assamese also:
Barud = gunpowder
Badam = peanut, nut
Nomaz = islamic prayer
Seluar = loose pants
Xoptah = week (related, but it's a Sanskrit borrowing)
Intresting! I love India ! i knew a girl from assame when i used to live in india
Badam in Persian means Almond
That was realy awesome,ı speak Turkish so I understood all the world, also in Arabic*Syrian dialect* we use shalvar or sharval too, but just for very wide pants. we also use nana=ment \ and in some countries, we use nana also for grandmother. and liver as Kabed - كبد .
Every time i watch videos I really enjoy and I wish to participate in and compare Persian with Tajik or uzbek languages online
We also have these words in Turkish: rende (rendelemek - verb), çeşme, horoz, barut, nane, çay, pirinç, badem, namaz, ciğer, şalvar, kaşık, hafta. We bought them from the Persians and gave to the Bosnians. :)
We havent barrowed any word except maybe nane,horoz, hafta, but cay meaning litel kreek or river like yeni cay in altay mountain and like my Yakut friend says kasik is real old Turkic word still in use in asia,what about alma? Almaata in asia is it from Iran too??? Lets not underestimate our beautifull sounding Turkish l
The Bosnian Muslims speak Croatian with some Turkish borrow words
Very interesting in Bosnian "namaz" also has the meaning "to spread out". I know in Hinduism specifically and I believe I read in Zoroastrianism also, that the highest form of admiration through prostration is when one prostrates with his belly to the floor face down with the body "out spread". Another great video!
I saw some popes (christian) doing prostration lying flat down arms leg spread to ground.
@ferzy09 isnt namaz indian word namazkar?
Being that perso-mongols and perso-turks ruled much of Hindustan the Persian language became a dominant language in the courts and many different languages through Hindustan. I would definitely say it's roots are Persian. But I could be wrong, because a lot of religions come from India from Buddhism, Jainism, etc...
What an interesting observation!
I agree with Sarhad... very interesting observation ابو قسم
👍
Nice vadio.Please make about Persian and Pamiri ❤️💙
Hvala za ovaj video super je
I speak Urdu , and I understand all of those words . Making me feel wonderful that how eachother of us closed to each other.
In the Bashkir language there's a word of the same root "Shishme"
How dyou know bashkir language?
Şişme shishme is something to blow up. Like baloon or expanding a item. Expanded baloon. Şişme balon
love to iran from bosnia❤❤
Wow in Bangla week is “Shafta/Hafta/Afta” and we also say badam and namaz
I am wondering if you choose these particular words randomly or you find some words that are similar between these languages and bring them up here! It should be the second one right?
You're right. It's second :) That's my goal with all the videos. To find commonalities between people as a means of coming closer together :)
In Persian we also use nane for grandma, and I'm surprised nobody mentioned it after she said they use it in Bosnian!
The most words between Bosnian and Persian are comprehensible for Bulgarian too, I recognized them! Also I understand why ''Namaz'' in Bosnian means that think with the bread, because ''Namaz'' in Bosnian comes from the verb ''Namazati'' which means ''to smear, anoint'', we have in Bulgarian the verb ''Mazha'', which is the equivalent to the Bosnian verb, so basically yeah, I'm just saying to those who are wondering! :)
Dark gamer Shadow You are right! Best regards from Bosnia
Same in Russian language, namazat ( намазать ) means to spread , like for example a butter or jam on a bread 🍞 .
namaz is sansekret indian namasti farsi namaz
@@mmsherzad6352 The persian word yes, but the verb "namazati" is Slavic! 😉
@@roatskm2337 dude slavic languages have influenced by Iranian languages due to Iranian tribes like sarmatians immigrated to eastern Europe and mixed with proto slavs and proto Baltic people, and namaz has avestan origin (the mother of all Iranian languages) actually there are 800 words from avestan origin in Bulgarian as I've studied
In Urdu we us word رندہ (Randa) for Carpenter Plane, and word کدو کش (Kaddu Kash) for Grater.
Randa is a slang in Hindi
@@caniget600subscriberswitho5 'D' sounds like 'D' in Arabic or Persian not in English, exactly like she said Rande the only change is 'a' at the end instead of 'e'
Randa in punjabi is a small tool that carpenters use to basically grate the wood to transform it into desired form. Also it is used in jaggery making to turn concentrated sugar cane juice into small pieces. For food grater we use the term kaddoo kash
the persian girl is so pretty. hard to concentrate lol
Beauty of Iranian women is unmatched
The Bosnian too.
Scorpioron Very smart!
That feeling when you are Slovak and you think you understand almost everything the Bosnian says EXCEPT THE WORD 🤣 put a Slovak and a Persian together and we decode the whole sentence in a few sec
That's quite interesting

I'm Polish and I was thinking the same thing, only the Bosnian word sounded like "1" to me. I feel if I saw it written, I would have gotten it. But as soon as the Persian girl said "spoon", I got it.

@@sara_s_ Wrong. Serbian/Bosnian/Croatian are all the same language. The only difference is between the ijekavian and ekavian dialect and a few words. It's like saying American English is different from Australian English.
Yasin Yilmaz Bahador can call me for that two languages I’m fluent in both!
@@sara_s_ Whether or not you consider them to be the same language, my point still stands. Bosnian has plenty of unique loanwords it has borrowed from languages like Turkish and Persian. However, any Slavic-derived words that appear in both Bosnian and Russian also appear in Serbian and Croatian.
jigeritsa also exists in Hungarian zsiger (pronounced zhiger) meaning the guts, intestines
Bahador, I have a suggestion: when you compare languages within language families could you please pick words that are not loan words, i.e. pick words of the same origin.
For example in Bosnian the word for woman is "Žena" and in Kurdish (and probably Farsi also) it is something like "Žin" if I remember.
"Ž" is pronounced like the French "J" if it makes it clearer :)
One more Bosnian vs Kurdish example:
English: I know/I dont know
Bosnian: Znam/Neznam
Kurdish (and Farsi?): Zanem/Nazanem
Wow!
Chashma (in Hindi or Urdu) would mean spring 😊
In pashto in means glasses
It means glasses in Hindi too not spring
@@pinkyfinger9851 I think in Urdu it means spring and glasses
In Urdu it has both meanings,
Sun Glass and Spring,
Çaşm is derived from Persian, meaning eye, But for glass they use Çeşmek means small eye
same in Persian. Hindi is full of Persian words.
I'm from Turkey and almost all of that given words are same or have a very close cognate word in Turkish.

Because your Persian heritage....
Some of them are of Turkic root
@@stevenmercado5205 Fuck off troll!
@@stevenmercado5205 stop attacking Turkish people in the comments.
Wow! amazing video! I wonder about the roots of the words? are they Persian?
Indo European. Persian is one of the "parent' languages of the Indo European family
Many later languages have heritage from Persian.
How about Indo? Is Persian older or Indo? Thanks for the replies!
It's a mix. Most originate from Persian, but the Bosnian language also shares common words with Persian which have Arabic or Turkish roots. Persian and Bosnian have common Indo-European words, but also a lot of Persian words were used in Turkish during Ottoman times and they then entered Bosnian and other languages in the Balkans. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and Turkey was established, a lot of reforms were implemented by Ataturk and part of that was the removal of many Persian and Arabic words to be replaced with Turkic equivalents.
Bahador Alast Thank you for your perfect explanation!
Bosnian are so sweet and impressive 😇😇🥰
kindly regards from kabul.
ther are three persian poets from bosnia. ahmad soodi bosnavi and
two ladies at usmani time.
Ahmad Sudi Bosnevi was Bosnian but he was well-versed in Persian poetry and literature and actually taught the Persian language.
Bosnian sister is adorable 💖 from New York City
In bulgarian we have also ренде (rende), чешма (cheshma) spring or tap, барут (barut), бадем (badem), намазвам (namazvam to smear) it comes from maslo (butter), but also намастем (namasten) means blesed, джигер (jiger) - liver in dialect, шалвари (shalжari), хубав (hubav) - beautiful
buah *badam* in bahasa indonesia = almond ; buah means fruit ,i read 'buah *badam* ' once in an old indonesian literature book, actually i must check standard indonesian dictionary that time because i dont know what buah *badam* is 😁 i think it comes from persian? ,because many persian word in bahasa indonesia.
Dude, I'm Indian and Marathi is my mother tongue. Even I got many of the words right. Like Namaz, Barud, Salwar etc! Incredible!!
I was olso been to India, have seen many Turkic words on the menu like sabzi.kema many more, those words came from what English called "moguls" actually were Turkmener who built Tacmahal,in Turkish it means crowns place.
You probably know it because these words are commonly used in Urdu
There are lots of Persian words in Hindi.
I would like to watch Kazakh - Persian) a lot of words we use from Persian origin
I want to know if there are any major differences between Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian. They are linguistically considered to be different standards of the same language, but in what way might they become hard for people to understand? What are the dialectal differences?
Robert Sundström Very small differences! Practically same language! In the past it was basically Bosnian language but in XIX centuries in Serbia and Croatia they made standard for their language on the basis of Bosnian language! Ironically in former Yugoslavia for the sake of political reasons regime made name serbo-croatian language like Yugoslav officials language! Now we have four names for almost same language bosnian/serbian/croatian/montenegrin languages!
"Nana" in Persian also can mean grand mother. But it is more pronounced naneh or Nena in north. Interesting, both meanings were in common.
Depends where you live in Bosnia, some say nana and others nena. I say nena on my paternal side for grandmother and I noticed, every other Iranian is named Reza :))
In urdu Pakistan Nana (maternal Grandfather) . Nani (maternal Grandmother) . Da da (Grandfather) . Dadi(grandma).
@@kolobara08 😁 ya, it's the forth popular name in Iran.
We also use chashma for fountain and spectacles both in hindi.🙂
As bosinian use jigar as liver and food both ..similarly we use kaleja as heart and kaleji as chicken(non veg. Food).
I was wondering what a fountain has to do with eyes. The Persian for "eye" sounds similar.
@@pierreabbat6157 in india , if you say chasma than 100% we think about spects....only experienced person knew that chasma is also means natural fountain .even pronunciation and spellings are also remains same for both..
@@pierreabbat6157 old people still use the same logic in my village. Göz means eye in Turkish. For example, they might say "hadi göze gidelim" which means "lets go to the eye". Also they might say "suyun gözü" which means "the eye of the water". That's where water pops up from ground..
Wrong information, No hindi speaking peoples in india use chashma for fountain it's "झरना"( jharna) in hindi, first learn then speak,
The word chasma is used for spectacles in hindi not for fountains, it's used by urdu speaker in both india & pakistan.
I'm a little surprised to see the number of Persian words in Bosnian, though at the same time not that surprised given the history of Bosnia under Ottoman rule. I think both ladies in the video are very cute.
Please do a video with all semitic languages 🙏
Hey Bahador can you tell us etymology for word namaz? Because it is assumed having been passed from Persian to other languages for muslim prayer but as far as i know it is from Indian namaste. ?
The word has passed on from Persian to other languages in the last thousand years, but the root is ancient. The Sanskrit term is a cognate with Persian, both of them coming from the same root, the Proto-Indo-Iranian term namas, which goes back to the 3rd millennium BC. So it is not actually from namaste, namaste itself was derived from the same ancient term. In short, the Sanskrit and the Persian term are very ancient, and related, not taken from each other.
Bahador Alast oh ok. So namaz and namaste are from namas. 👍
Barood is in Bengali too... meaning gunpowder
Nana is Maternal Grandfather in Bangladeshi Bengali
Badam is nut. infact all the nuts are called Badam in general Bengali.
Namaz is prayer in Bengali.
Shalwar is trousers in Bengali
Hapta/shopatho is in Bengali too.
Too much Persian in Bengali I must say
@ferzy09 haptah used in local dialect like sylheti Bengali. However, in bangla, it is shoptaho/shoptah
I love the language of bosnia and the literature of Persia.
bahdoor please make kurdish and spanish pleaaaaase 😭 they sound so similar and have a lot in common
Very good!
Yep
You may do the TAMIL vs ENGLISH
It's almost 50,000 words were similar between these two languages
realy
@@mmsher7211 yep!! Mother of all languages 💖🙏💯
@@karthikeyang7673 wow very nice
How about similarities Indonesian & Japanese? :)
suka - suki desu. Not much else :)
@@wyqtor xD bro
Nana is grandma in many languages.
Badam is Almond in Tamil too.
Bulgarian: rendE - a grater, cheshmA - the water that flows in the sink, barUt - gun powder, badEm - almond, namAz - Bulgarian muslims use it for a prayer, shalvAri - traditional pants for Bulgarian muslim women.. I heard something like "hoob" in Persian that means "good"? In Bugarian "hUbav" means "nice" and it's a word of disputed origin .. You should make a video with Bulgarian/Persian :)
Thank you for this video, Bahador.
Just one correction, Bosnian is not a standardized version of Serbo-Croatian, it is and was always a language of its own.
‘Kaşık’ is of Turkic root. It’s even same in Yakut
Kaşık için Türkçeye dayanan pek bir etimolojik köken gösterilemiyor.Nişanyana göre de Kaşık kelimesinin Eski Farsçadaki Kepçek kelimesinden gelme ihtimali daha yüksek ki bugün hala muhtelif irani dillerde Kavçî/Kemçe/Kefçik gibi farklı türlerde kullanılıyor.Kaşık
Bilindiği üzere "ş" sesi ile "ç" zaman içinde mahreç yerleri dolayısıyla birbirine çokça dönüşür.Aynı şekilde Q-K ve G harfleride öyle.O halde.
Kepçek→Keçek→Keşek→Qeşek ve nihayetinde Qaşık olma ihtimali daha yüksek.
@@xwezanxwenas9237 Yakutçada dahi varlığını sürdüren bir sözcüğün taa hiç benzemeyen "kepçe" ile azıcık benzetilmesi (ki tek benzer yanı sadece aynı harf ile başlaması) bence çok yanlış ve olağan değil. From Proto-Turkic *kaĺuk (“spoon”), synchronically diminutive of قاش (kaş, “eyebrow; collet of a finger-ring; wooden bowl, small dish”).
@@kaan2716 Türkçede geçen en eski yazılı kaynaklara bakmak lazım aksi takdirde yakutçada geçiyor diye Türkçe olacak değil .Kaldı ki Sadece tek harf benzerliği değil buradaki mesele.Buradaki asıl mesele ses değişimlerin dikkate alınması gerektiği.
Kaşık kelime gayet bariz bir şekilde benziyor Kepçek kelimesine.Zaten eski Farsça da çoğu ç sesi zaman içinde mevcut İran'ı dillerde Ş ye dönüşmüş durumda.P sesleride zamanla f-v-w ye dönüş ki bazen bu w okunmayacak derecede yutulur.Yukardakilere örnek vermek gerekirse Türkçeyede geçen sopa veya çöp kelimesi Orta Farsça da Çōp idi.Bu günümüz Farsçasında Çûb şeklinde kalmıştır.Kürtçenin tüm lehçeleri de dahil Diğer bir sürü İrani dilde de Ç ile Ş ve P ile V,W ses dönüşümleri ve nihayetinde W nin okunmayacak şekilde yutulması da görülebiliyor.Çōp veya Çob
Horasan Kurmancisinde=Şûv ve Çuv
Türkiye Kurmancisinde=Şıv
Türkiye'de konuşulan güney Kürtçesine mensup Şahzeni Kürtçesinde=Ço
Gene Güney Kürtçesine mensup İran'da konuşulan Lekî Kürtçesinde=Çow
Şeklinde kalmıştır görüldü gibi Ç sesi Ş ye dönüşmüş P sesi de W-V-B ye dönüşmüş.Buna ilaveten Ş nin Ç ye dönüşümü de sık rastlanılan bir durumdur.Mesela gitmek fiili Avestacda Şıyew iken Orta Farsçada Şu+ten günümüz Farsçasında Başka kök bir fiil olan Reften/Ro Khurzuki dilinde Çu( ş ç ye dönüşmüş) Kurmancî,Lekî,Kelhurî,Feylî ve Şahzeni Kürtçe lerinde gene Çu+n ve türevleri kullanılıyor.
Şimdi bu ihtimali tekrardan Kepçek kelimesinde uygularsak.
Kepçek→Kepşek/Kewşek→Keşek Kaşık olma ihtimali gayet olağan gözüküyor.
Its funny to know how Bosniak, an ethnic group that quite recent converted to Islam ( in 16th-17th century) has preserved more islamic cultures such as Hijab compared to Iranian girl which Islamization there had already taken place in 7th-9th Century AD.
Bosniak is the whitest muslim you could ever find. They were actually Serbian or Croatian who professed Islam. They almost have the same language, gene etc.
In Urdu, Nani means maternal grandmother and Nana means maternal grandfather
