  1. I've always wondered why the words for family members were so similar between these languages. Like I'm iranian but also english and Portuguese have very similar words for family members. Father= Pedar, mother= madar, brother= baradar. It's so fascinating and now i have my answer
    Edit: oh and we also have papa and others. It's so cool!
    Some parts of iran with older dialects are most fascinating to me!

  4. According to the great historian Soran Hamarash in his bok ”The Lost and Untold History of the Kurd”, the Kurds (The Zagrosians) are the oldest population of Mesopotamia, i.e., the indigenous people. However, remember that the word "Kurd" is a collective name for all kinds of Kurds, i.e., an umbrella term.

    Zagrosian/Proto-Kurdish: Spoken from approximately 15,000 to 5300 BCE. This was the oldest form of Kurdish, spoken in the Zagros Mountains and the surrounding plains.

    Old Kurdish (OK): Spoken from approximately 5300 to 3000 BCE. During this time, languages like Sumerian, Hurrian, Lullubian, Gutian, and others were also spoken in the region.

    Middle Kurdish (MK): Spoken from approximately 3000 BCE to 800 CE. During this period, the languages Median and Mannaean can be considered dialects of Middle Kurdish.

    New Kurdish (NK): Spoken from approximately 800 CE to the present day and includes today's Kurdish dialects.

    Many Kurds have historically and even today primarily identified themselves through their geographic area or dialect affiliation, such as “I am Hakkari, or I am Luri or Kalhuri or Kengir or Gutian”.
    This diverse linguistic landscape not only enriches the cultural heritage of the Kurds but also emphasizes the complexity and richness of Kurdish as more than just a language, but as a mosaic of identities and histories woven through time.

    Moreover, the Kurdish language is a giant compared to other Indo-European languages.
    According to my interpretation, Kurdish might be the foundation of all European languages, positioning it as the mother tongue for the entire European linguistic family. A recent remarkable discovery supports this fascinating perspective: a Neanderthal was found in the Shanidar Cave in Erbil, Kurdistan. This discovery, also featured in a Netflix documentary, highlights a Neanderthal estimated by researchers to be 75,000 years old, making it the oldest Neanderthal ever discovered.

    So the least that can be done to correct previous misconceptions is to officially recognize Kurdish with its own branch in the Indo-European language tree, named the Zagrosian Proto Kurdish language.

    Additionally, whether there are misconceptions or not is up for debate, but what can be certainly stated is that Kurdish has been treated distinctively by colonial powers and adapted to fit the political agenda of the region.

  5. I think the key question is, "Why?" Why did they migrate the way they did? Why so many variations, if they started from the same general point? Why are some so archaic and specific to one region or another? Why does civilization pick up and resume, all over the place, around the beginning of the 7th Century BC? These and other such questions point at a very different past than we're told.

    Homo sapiens, our species, has been around for nearly 300 millennia, but we know less than 2% of that time, and the dispersal of the PIE people took place within that tiny percentage. Something drastic happened, cut us off from our most distant ancestors, and isolated the survivors on Asia, India, and Africa, from appearances. Africa might have been an Asia-sized supercontinent, then with a civilization of its own, now buried in the Amazonian jungle.

  6. Intentionally you are not adding on the list Albania,you perfectly know that Albania is the first language in what we call nowdays Ballkan Peninsula.The root of the Indo-european Language is Albanian and Albanian people the first Farmers who entered in Ballkan……..Wrong and Awful that you doing this…..You are trying to erase the Albanian Identity and its Language Role on the other languages as well…..Poor content…..

  7. Gjuha e natyres eshte shqip dialekti gege 1000 fakte studioni Ilirishten se e gjitha per Greket imagjinare te lashte jane Iliret mitologjite Greke flasin shqip nuk kuptohen Greqisht fare jena autokton (ne tok ton)

  8. Sanskrit was a gift from Anunakis to the mortal humans. It remains more structurally correct language among majority of languages, while simultaneously being the one of the oldest language. It’s a shame English is international language when it should be Sanskrit.

  9. Edit: Please do entire videos for each of these language families.
    Original: The words for writing may be more similar than they appear. Balto-Slavic "Buky" may be realted to our word "Book", and Sanskrit "Likhati" may be related to Latin words like "Legere (to read), and Literatura".
    A soft "kh" sound is produced in the same part of the throat as the soft "g" sound of Latin. Although it is a slightly different sound, it is similar.
