The Mazanderani language, casually spoken | Negar speaking Mazanderani | Wikitongues

The Mazanderani language is spoken by over 2 million people, primarily in Mazanderan Province, Iran. An Indo-Iranian language, it is related to Farsi, as well as hundreds of languages from India.

More from Wikipedia: "Mazandarani (مازندرانی) or Tabari (تبری) is an Iranian language of the Northwestern branch, spoken by Mazandarani people. As a member of the Northwestern branch (the northern branch of Western Iranian), etymologically speaking it is rather closely related to Gilaki, and also related to Persian, which belongs to the Southwestern branch. Though the Persian language has influenced Mazandarani to a great extent, the Mazandarani language still remains as an independent language with a northwestern Iranian origin. Mazandarani is closely related to Gilaki and the two languages have similar vocabularies. The Gilaki and Mazandarani languages (but not other Iranian languages) share certain typological features with Caucasian languages (specifically South Caucasian languages), reflecting the history, ethnic identity, and close relatedness to the Caucasus region and Caucasian peoples of Mazandaranis and Gilak people."

I'm glad this video has sparked conversation even if it is about my name rather than the language I'm speaking.
I think the main thing to keep in mind when watching videos on a channel that is about different languages and different people groups and their cultures is to distance ourselves from our anglocentric, francocentrinc, germanocentri, etc view and to embrace others as they are.
I understand if someone has been sensitized to a word because it looks like another word but not all that shines is gold(!!)
Negar is not a cognate of the n word. It is not even from the same language family.
Even then you have to keep in mind the word "Negro" is still used in most romance languages to refer to the color "black". So please keep your petty jokes at the door and if you're still confused about anything, a simple google search will do you good!

As a mazani myself, I find her to be *very* fluent 👌👌👏👏

I am a native Balochi speaker. Balochi is also northwestern branch of iranian language. I understood a lot of things she said.

I’m Iranian I speak standard persian. From what I understand she was in the metro wearing headphones and she heard something that sounded familiar around her. and she found it was a women speaking mazandarani. I assume she talked to the women couldn’t fully understand that part but then her last point was that it’s a small world.

As I was listening to you, I noticed so many similarities with Gilaki :)

I still remember going to mountainous areas of Mazandaran around Babol and they told me they speak Gilaki.

Thank you for making this. I love Gilan and Mazandaran. Our Tabarestan ancient home.

This language sounds beautiful. I could listen to this lady all day even if I don't understand a word!

I'm ethnically mazani but my parents didn't teach me the language. That's why I understand her words perfectly but can't speak it myself😞 She's so fluent.

[FrancisMichaelCedenoReyes]

I want to learn mazandarani language, please.

[km.scrivo]

I had heard that Mazandarani is almost a completely different language when it comes to Persian, and it holds a more conservative way of speaking as opposed to todays Farsi (without outside - Arabic - influence) and my goodness it is so beautiful 🥹

[SpaltonTAG]

I can kind of understand her as a Dari Speaker

[FrancisMichaelCedenoReyes]

Hello could you please teach me the mazandarani language?
