IRANIC: PERSIAN & ORMURI

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Persian, also known as Farsi in Iran, is a major language of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian language family. It serves as the official language of Iran and has official status in Afghanistan (as Dari) and Tajikistan (as Tajik). Persian has a rich literary history dating back over a millennium, with renowned poets such as Hafez, Rumi, and Ferdowsi contributing to its legacy. Written in the Persian script, a modified version of the Arabic script, it is spoken by over 80 million native speakers and is known for its influence on neighboring languages and cultures in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Persian's vocabulary and grammar have remained relatively stable over centuries, allowing modern speakers to understand classic Persian literature with relative ease.

Ormuri is an Eastern Iranian language spoken by the Ormur people, primarily in the Baraki Barak district of Logar Province, Afghanistan, and in the town of Kaniguram in South Waziristan, Pakistan. It is considered a highly endangered language, with only a few thousand speakers remaining. Ormuri is notable for its unique linguistic features, which distinguish it from other Iranian languages, and it has preserved archaic elements that provide valuable insights into the historical development of the Iranian language family. Efforts to document and revitalize Ormuri are ongoing, as the language faces the threat of extinction due to the dominance of Pashto and other regional languages.

This video is created for educational, language awareness, and language preservation purposes. It aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to viewers, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different languages and their unique characteristics. By raising awareness about linguistic diversity, the video seeks to foster a greater respect and recognition for various languages, particularly those that are endangered or underrepresented. Additionally, it contributes to the preservation of languages by documenting and sharing linguistic knowledge, thus ensuring that these languages and their cultural heritage are not lost to future generations.

i always assumed Ormuri was a dialect of Pashto without ever hearing it. But hearing this althought it has many similarities with Pashto, its surprisingly different.
Note:Maaf, janat, barkat, dunya, fitnah, ameen are Arabic loanwords, not Iranic
