The way you styled the borders of the Achaemenid Empire was sooo unique. Instead of some cookie cutter borders from online they are blurred and still represent the rough area of conquest, also ofc the dark area being the homeland and light area being foreign areas so nice touch!

It is fairer to say that Persian already had a writing system adopted from a Semitic language. Then, it could influence Arabic, which was going through changes to cover a wide range of cultures with different interpretations of pronunciations. So, it seems Persian influenced the Arabic script system while it was adopting it as a new writing system.

Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu all are shared by one alphabet, with small differences. they all have one ancestor alphabet that they are using today. there is lot of evolution on to this parent alphabet. we cant clearly say Persians had first used this alphabet and later Arabs adopted it or vise verse. but possibility is there becoz of Persian Empire.

Because at the time of the arrival of Islam and during the Rashidin and Umayyad caliphate's, the Persian language was completely banned in Iran for almost 200 years. And people could not write anything and only talk to each other secretly. Until the Taherid Dynasty gained independence from the Abbasid Arabs. The Persian language was revived and became the official language, but the people had forgotten Their alphabet !

Persian here! I do want to mention that the Perso-Arabic script developed alongside the Arabic script, so it is more accurate to say they both share common origin, being the Hejazi Kufic script, making them more so "cousin scripts". They aren't entirely cousin scripts, but they sort of act like it. This is why the Persian ک looks different to the Arabic ك because they evolved separately from the Kufic script. It is generally why it is called "Perso-Arabic". Beyond that, amazing video! Subscribed!

Even a kid knows this. The Persians are Aryans the Arabs are Semites. When Semitic-Arabs conquered Iran the process of Semitization was initiated into the script, culture, names, etc. if not ethnically on a large scale. Yet the Persians a great civilization maintained their Aryan religious Zoroastrian past and celebrate Navroz (New Year) and Persian remains an Aryan (Indo-European) language with some Semitic words which it has picked up with the advent of Semitic-Islam. The Semites (Yehudi-Arabs) are children of Abraham (Ibrahim) Persians are surely not.

Now, as you will see in the comments, many argue the Persians are to be credited for the Arabic script too. This does not align with the info I aggregated for the video on the origins of the Arabic script. This being said, I appreciate these are merely hypotheses and nothing is set in stone, at least for now. However, the Persians did greatly contribute to the development of the script as it is today, including the dots. The only thing I can say is that in all geographically close areas, a continuum of influences will always exist. Thank you for your nice comment.

My language- Punjabi, has two scripts. One of them is written with the help of Arabic-Perso Script, called Shahmukhi Punjabi.

Saying "Persian is Arabic" is like saying Tibetan is Hindi( although Tibetan script bears little to no similarities with Devanagari script of Hindi), because they are derived from a common source. We Hindus use different abugidas since the 2500-2800 years to read our 5k-6k old religious Hindu literature, each abugida is completely different in shape and look, but bears similarities with Sanskrit alphabet( we call Hindy alphabets as Varnamala generally aka garland of letters). Hindi language loans a lot of Arabic/Persian words, we place a dot( Bindu in Sanskrit, Nuqta in Arabic) to the most related letter phonologically while writing that exact symbol nowadays, but since our languages originally don't have sound values for those foreign letters, we pronounce them with the closest native equivalents. For writing x in Persian, ख/kha in original Hindu/Sanskrit script changes to ख़. For writing ghayn in Arabic( idk about the sound, but Arabic speakers please confirm if its pronounced that way), we simply add a dot to घ/gha sound of Sanskrit to form घ़/ ghayn. Mind you, this is for transliteration of Muslim literature into Indian languages, but Hindus don't read about these symbols generally or don't pronounce them, because its not present in our original alphabet. Indian muslims learn Arabic/Persian in their religious schools in perso-Arabic script, so they can pronounce them.

But we see more of Sanskrit and Prakrit words used in our Indian languages in media, singling out Persian and Arabic words. This is all due to Nativisation efforts, personally I don't see anything wrong in this. Native equivalents must be cherished before anything and this has nothing to do with enmity via religion, but even European words are discouraged while writing in Hindu scripts aka Abugidas/lipis. More old words are brought to circulation that way.

But all these sounds that are found in Persian are also found in many modern Arabic dialects. Like چ (ch) sometimes as تش it exists in a lot of dialects like iraqi/gulf and Maghrebi arabic... as for گ (g) It is found in almost all dialects : in gulf/ Yemeni its ق or ج , in Egyptian it's ج, and in Moroccan it's ڭے/ڭ and algerian i's ڤ. As for ژ (dj) , دج or just ج in msa It is an original sound in Classical/standard Arabic, contrary to what some people think. Therefore, we find it widespread in some dialects, such as Najdi, and also some Maghrebi dialects.As for پ( p), it is found in some few Arabic dialects in its native form. In the dialect of northern Morocco and also in some Iraqi dialects.. while ڤ (v) ,( "و" in Persian), is the only sound that is not found in any common Arabic dialect natively, and I still do not know whether it is found in Maltese, Cypriot, or the dialects of Central Asia.

Many of those dialects adopted those sounds from either Persian, or other non Arab languages in close proximity. Take the name of the famous dish کله پاچه for instance which is a Persian word but also known and used by Iraqis and other Arabs since they also eat the dish. When talking about Arabic, we must consider the classical form that is found in historical literature since thats the formal version and the version that the Arabs historically spoke (or atleast much closer to it). Classical Arabic contains neitherچ، پ، ژ، گ، since these sounds are not native to it. Other Semitic languages contain some of these sounds but not Arabic. Additionally, i think you are misunderstanding what ژ sounds like. ژ sounds like the French Je, also how some chinese names like zheung are pronounced. This sound is not existent in classical Arabic, or any Arabic for that matter.

But I still don't understand the difference between it and "j" (ج), Is it a softer version of it? and Yes, you are right that must of these sounds are not native to the original language and are a result of contact and influence from other languages, but the “گ” sound (also چ maybe) is definitely a natural development of the Arabic language, as there are Isolated dialects that close to classical Arabic within the Arabian Peninsula that have that sound, such as Yemeni. This natural shift occurred because in some dialects, the "ق" was found difficult to pronounce, so it became "گ", and also the same thing happened to the "ج" in some other dialects, as it became "گ".Also, when I said that the “p” is natively present in a few spoken Arabic dialects, i meant by it that it was not because of loanwords (Like the example you gave, and by the way, I didn't know it because I am not an Iraqi or a Gulfian ) , but rather by some native Arabic words in which the "b" is turn into a "p" for example "təpchi" (تپچي) in iraqi from "tabki" in MSA which means (She cries /You cry) or "mpaɛzən" (مپعزن) in northern Moroccan which means "arrogant".In this case, this is certainly the accent influence of languages other than Arabic, such as Persian, Kurdish, and Aramaic for Iraqi. As for northern Morocco, this change is due to Latin, Punic, and also Old Spanish.

From what I read, it seems like the Maghrebi dialect borrowed the ژ phoneme from French, and the Hejazi dialect got it from Persian. Also, those examples you provided of native Arabic words in which other phonemes get replaced by پ، گ، چ، ژ are very interesting.

Here are some examples~ mother: mâdar, father: pedar, brother: barâdar, daughter: doxtar I was amazed by how similar these words are to english. Also, since Old Persian and Avestan are Iranian languages, they are rlly similar to the Indo-aryan languages in vocabulary. Compare the words above to Sanskrit mā́tṛ (mother), bhrā́tṛ (brother) and so on I'm currently learning farsi and a lot of it is very easy for me bc of the similarities with Hindi and Urdu, which i can understand. But ofc most of these similarities are due to borrowings from Persian. Not everything is a borrowing tho, such as the numbers, which are very familiar to anyone who knows Hindi/urdu. It's always fascinating to see how similar numbers are to each other in indo-european languages, since they're (for the most part) all inherited from the same set in PIE

You could write English in the Arabic script if you wanted to - I believe other Indo-European languages like Albanian and Bosnian were at times written with Arabic script -during the Ottoman Turkish occupation as Turks then as well wrote in Arabic script. Even Indonesian languages (Javanese) once written in Arabic script. The same thing was done with Cyrillic when Russian owned a slew of countries in central Asia and the far East.

Bonjour. Il y a les sous-titres en français sur toutes mes vidéos :) Les avez-vous activés ?

This clip is entirely misinformation! Current Persian language alphabet has evolved from the Iranian Pahlavic alphabet.

I don't think saying Persian script derived from arabic is accurate...the extra letter found in farsi are also used in many different arabic dialects...in the ild time arabic was not the classic arabic we know today they were like dialects some of them had those extra letters some didn't...and the the alphabet they established that had 28 letters was just conventional to be the best because it was unnecessary to have extra letters that only few minorities used ... Like the soung /g/ ڨ we just write it as ق or ڨ گ even that ڨ گ are not conventionally in the arabic alphabet yet most of us already know people use them and therefore understand them ..also the sound / p / is not present in the arabic alphabet yet most of us can pronounce it and we have it in our dialects especially north africans they can speak any language perfectly... So it's more about who was in charge of making the rules they often do not know about other tribes abd dialects...you know harsh desert vast land there were many people living without the ruler knowing about them And what I like about Persians is that they are nice and. They don't feel bad or get offended when someone tells that that script is arabic script...they are proud of themselves

I don't understand you. Persian writing came from Arabic, that's obvious, you can look at their earlier writing systems to compare.

Those were actually Iranian letters from Sassanids not Arabic.

Adding letters in the Latin/Roman alphabets doesn't stop them from being Latin/Roman so I don't understand why simply adding few extra letters by basically adding extra dots to some existing letters the writing system will stop being Arabic. Calling modified Arabic script as Persian doesn't make sense, at best Perso-Arabic seems fine.

Arabic numerals were named as such because the western world came to know those numerals through arabs. But they were originally from India and arabs learned it from India. Decimal system these numerals represent is invented and used by India from where arabs learned it.

The day the great Persians fell stupidly to adopt the Arabic religion and culture, that day marked the beginning of the downfall of once the world center of knowledge. And it would never be the same until they get ride of the Arabic culture and religion.

If there is a name for Iranian language in English, and this presentation is in English, then use it.

The Persians did not only take the Arabic alphabets but also many Arabic words form the Persian language! Arabic letters were practical and simple to use. The Persians were part of the Arab Empire and very close to the Capital city. Many elite Persians lived in the Arab world and totally adopted Arabic and Arab culture. Also, Persians were Muslims and learned Arabic to understand the Quran! 🧡

hahahaha yeah sure, the way they killed off the rashiduns, plus the offspring of the prophet, plus the ummayads. and dont forget that the abbasids were persians. lying about the past is not very nice of you.

The story you told is definitely not bad for a child who needs easy stories. But in order to understand why there is the idea that Persian has been influenced by Arabic, you have to go back to the Sassanid period, when all the languages of the region were heavily influenced by Persian and Pahlavi, and later these Persian words re-entered the language by changing their form in Arabic. They became Persian. The subject is complex and specialized and definitely not suitable for children.

So called Arabic numerals are known as that but that number system was adopted by them & introduced to the West.....taking credit for achievements or cultural appropriation isnt just a recent /modern phenomena ! The 10 base system & computation in columns of 10s 100s 1000s etc , the use of the decimal point & the numerals 1- 9 were invented in Ancient India as was the concept of figure 0 to represent nothing/Zero. The Arab invasions & conquests into the Indian subcontinent made them aware of the simplely superior mathematical power of the Indian system compared to the Roman numerals & system generally used. The numerals in use now across the world-are nothing to do with neither the Arabic or Farsi language scripts. And yes Farsi developed within the Indo-European language family.

Good content but dismal images

Pahlavi leads to confusing the readings.

You're wrong arabic uses persian language, during the arab conquest of persia when arabs conquered iraq they came across lakhmids which were persianized arabs who adopted a modified version of the pahalvi scripture aka ( din dabiri avestan scripture). They called this scripture kuffi which they later modified more by adding dots and a persian official who later converted to islam wrote the standardized quran that muslims to this day use. The reason Iranians still use this alphabet even after the end of language war was because of this same reason. Din dabiri which is an avestan holy scripture dates back to 1800 bc and parthians and sasanians incorporated as the official national writting system while still using aramaic and hindu and armenian scriptures for local vassals. Even the word خط in arabic meaning font is of persian origins.

A very simple answer to this question would be: Umavid and Abbassid caliphs prohibited the use of Pahlavi. You failed to mention that and it's disappointing.

@Alborzhakimi7010

29 күн бұрын

The answer is far from simple. The Umayyid caliphs changed the formal language to Arabic and prohibited the use of Pahlavi in the public sphere, but this was a couple hundred years before Persians adopted the Arabic script. The Abbasids on the other hand, did NOT prohibit the pahlavi script and even allowed Zoroastrian priests to write theological treatises in Middle Persian. Some Abbasid caliphs even allowed debates between Zoroastrian scholars and Muslim scholars to take place in their courts, which was then documented by each group in their respective languages (middle persian being one of them). Here is a quote from an article on Brill titled “Fashioning Persian Identity: Asadi’s Staged Dispute between a Zoroastrian and a Muslim” “After the conquest of Persia and the start of the conversion of Persians to Islam in the seventh century, debate poems came into vogue in the intellectual milieu and at the élite courts of the Abbasid period (750-1258). At gatherings organized at the courts or mansions of the aristocracy, religious leaders of various communities were invited to debate controversial religious subjects (Griffith; van Berkel; Bauer, 172-82). Such contests took place between members of the Zoroastrian communities and Muslims or Muslims and Christians, Manicheans, or Jews. These debates, which belong to the genre of apologetic literature, have survived in both Middle Persian and New Persian. The fact that disputations became popular during this period shows how religious communities in the early Islamic Middle East responded to the rise of Islam. The Arab-Islamic invasion of Persia created a very complex situation for Persians as they processed the socio-political transformation and the integration of Islam in their lives. “ This tolerance towards Middle Persian was only continued and even amplified during the Iranian Intermezzo period where dynasties like the Buyids, Samanids, etc… allowed the publishing of Middle Persian texts along with New Persian ones. It was during the Iranian Intermezzo period, where Iran was either under fully sovereign rule from the caliphs or defacto sovereign rule (depending on which part of iran and which year), that the Arabic script was adopted. It was the Tahirids who were defacto independent from the Abbasids who first made the change to the Arabic script formally. To simplify this complex matter by sayinf the Abbasids prohibited the use of Pahlavi would be foolish. In fact, there is a Middle Persian text called the Gizistag Abalish which documented a debate between a Zoroastrian priest and a heretic dualist (zandik) in the court of al mamun. You can find more about that text by reading the following paper: A Zoroastrian Dispute in the Caliph’s Court The Gizistag Abāliš in its Early Islamic Context Christian C.

Any reason beyond the political prohibition would sound foolish to me no matter how many documents you provide. The history is written by the winners AKA the Muslims (both Arab overlords and locals) who had the upper hand. You may argue that the written form of Middle Persian didn't have a strong backbone even in the Sassanid era but to say that the Arab Caliphs didn't ban the use of the Pahlavi script is just a big fat lie.

There is no such thing as Arabic Alphabet. At the time of Mohammad there were only 17 people in Hejaz who could read or write and they wrote in Koufi. Koufah city was in Iranian territory and koufi alphabet was developed based on Aramaic alphabet by Iranians and used alongside Pahlavi alphabet and was used in Anbar province of Sasanian empire which is now in Iraq. After Sasanid empire, Iranian used Koufi alphabet instead of Pahlavi and then transformed Koufi with adding wolves and dots to it and used it. You couldn’t possibly have Arabic alphabet before even have an Arabic civilization; so how could they have Arabic alphabet? You need to research more bro 😎
