Domari, which is sometimes referred to as Middle Eastern Romani, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Dom people, a nomadic group originating from the Indian subcontinent who migrated and settled in the Middle East many centuries ago.

Bahador plz a request ,take your time 🙏 but please I want a sankrit videos with all languages from India to English channel🌊🌀 . Bcoz all ,yes all European languages have sanskrit words in it . Lithuania ( god ) = deva , sanskrit = deva English = 3 (three) , sanskrit = trree Eng = hepta (7) , sanskrit= septa Eng = name , sankrit = nama Eng = cow , sanskt = Gau Eng = mother , sansk = matra Italian = argentine (silver ) , sansk= arjun French= mort (death) , sansk = mrut This is just the tip of iceberg. Plz plz plz take your time may be year/s but make sanskrit videos with All European languages . That will attract a lot of crowd both from India and Europe. One more 😁 Czech = veda (science which means knowledge) , sansk= veda ( knowledge ) Another thing I forgot to write is The country Syria is pronounced "Ceeria" by us outsiders but the citizens of that country call their motherland as " sooriya " , which means sun 🌞 and the land of sun and guess what Sun is called in sanskrit , yes , exactly , it's called "Sooriya"
FAB vor 2 Stunden Bahador Sir Please do a Lithuanian and Sanskrit comparison Video Lithuanian is oldest secluded Baltic language it may have a lot of similarities with Sanskrit/Prakrit/Pali 5
On RU-vid we understand some of basic Romani words. I come from a part of India which is 1000 -1200 Km away from where the Romanis are likely to have migrated. Still can understand
@@mysteriousDSF There is no standard Romani. So it will be different place to place. Modern Languages were standardised first with Grammer, dictionaries, literature, newspapers than later on with Radio and TV news. Romani does not have any such structure.
Bahador Sir Please do a Lithuanian and Sanskrit comparison Video Lithuanian is oldest secluded Baltic language it may have a lot of similarities with Sanskrit/Prakrit/Pali
@@kc4276 Absolutely incorrect. It's because it was a same language about 10000 years ago. The reason for similarity as pointed out by main comment is because about 5000 years ago sanskrit was separated from rest of these languages and Lithuanian is also similarly very old therefore not experiencing much change and having similarity to sanskrit.
My fascination has always been with the similarities among all the humans especially the languages.. I love this exercise.. I constantly pay keen attention to other languages always trying to find similarities.. I recently learnt that a lot of Finnish words are variants or derived from Sanskrit as well, unlike the popular opinion that Finnish is not an Indo-European language. This shows enough study has not been done
I was waiting for this video for a long time, thank Bahador Alast. I'm waiting for any videos on Sinhala language an indo aryan language spoken in sri lanka 🇱🇰.

@@sonasandhuji yes, I am good in shudha Hindi (mostly affiliated with Sanskrit) and Sanskrit. But that has nothing to do with the claim modern day English is western Germanic language with many words almost 40% words from French and 35% from German still they are separate languages and speaker of one can’t understand other.
Wow! So that's where the word "ignite" comes from. Just found out here that the agni word in Sanskrit you used which is cognate with Latin ignis is how English ignite comes from. Simply amazing 👍
Yes, nice spot.. To throw in another widespread similarity, there is at 17:00 ašta (Domari), asti (Sanskrit), ast (Farsi), est (Latin), ist (Deutsch) is/ exist (English).. all meaning is/to be/exist.

I am a roma (Gypsy) from Italy ! mostly of the words spoken , actually I used within my family. Welcome Domaris and Indians ! Mirè pral (Are my brothers )
As a gujarati speaker I can understand all the words in Romani, now I feel like learning your language can you suggest me where & how to start ? 😃 Love from India ❤️
I am Rom (gipsy) from Slovakia and i understand almost every word from sanskrit and from domari language with little changing in the words and when they said sentences it was quite difficult to understand but its good to know that we have lot of word same or similar And again thank you for good video (sorry for my english)
In ( Maharashtra state) India, we called them dombari (gypsy) . They plays gymnastic games on roads in villages, earns money and travel to next village for next show. Feeling sad for their poor family status as in this modern era
I am also marathi language speaker,when I find this whole video I come to know that some words are very similar to marathi like ,pani,sap,dur, nak, aag ,kan and manus, and some words r similar to hindi like ungli, varsh,dur sap, aag... Obviously sanskrit is mother language of all those Indian languages bt it was really amazing to know that domari is also similar to our languages... Want to know more words from domari...
Sanskrit is very similar to Germanic languages as it was the Invading Aryans who conquered India that introduced Sanskrit which is derived from German. Sanskrit was never an Indian language
Greetings from us Sinti people to all Domari-Roma, Indians , Pakistanis. Kamal ans Shivani did a very good Job🧡 Dom People are the last Indian Tribe who left India, Sinti were the first Indian Tribe. I am so happy to see you here 💜 and to note nope Sinti are not Roma.
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ yeah my ancestors are from Sindh former Dynasty of Raja Dahir, 90% of our vocabularies is based on Sanskrit. But the most Sinti in my Age can't speak their language anymore ...unfortunately!
Wow, thats totally new thing to me. Feel like I am getting introduced to my long lost cousins. 🙏 I will try to update myself with Sinti, Roma and Dom community and will try to spread this awareness here with my fellow Indians. A small step to give due to our lost family members. May lord Shiva bless you guys with alot of happiness 🙏🙏
Domari..is almost like marathi. We still had Domari people in Maharastra,India till the 80s. They were nomadic people visiting different towns and cities.. Amazing how sanskrit binds people across the world.Truly a 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.
Domari is more closer to daughter language of sanskrit like Hindi, Marathi , Gujarati, Bengali .. This is the most amazing episode till now Thanks for introducing us about Domari language.
A few months ago I had commented on the possibility of doing a side by side with Sanskrit and Romani --- extremely excited to see the comparison between Sanskrit and Domari. Thank you for preserving these wonderful cultures!
Actually I think it seprated during times of prakrit development from sanskrit because he is literally speaking hindusthani (precursor of hindi and urdu) but in very weird accented way.
Oh wow Bahador, dombari is a tribe in Maharashtra. These are the long lost cousins of the dombari people. Marathi has almost all of the words. This is amazing. Makes me wonder that the resanskritization of Marathi and domari language migration happened at the same time. Maybe if Shivani Gurjar who seems to be a native speaker of Marathi, would have done a video of comparing with Marathi and Domari. Seems a good comparison
Hi there Nikhil…I’m Konkani and I found many domari words Similar in my language.Also that you mentioned about a tribe in mhaharashtra made me more curious and I’m going to look into it. Thanks.
Love this. My family are Sinti/Romungre both from Hungary....both being famous as musicians and entertainers. I've performed my whole life and continue to do so at age 69 I can understand so much...makes me happy and proud of our origins. There are many dialects and each of our languages..very beautiful.
I'm a native bengali and It's surprising to know these domari words are very close to bangla/bengali and our language is originated from snskrit and much more older than hindi or urdu ❤
because bangla and hindi both originated from sanskrit and no both originated at the same time. i don't know why you bengali have always a way to feel superior there is no need of it. you can respect all.
@@friendlyatheist9589 we do respect all languages. Rather, i think hindi/urdu speakers think it in that way of superiority. We Bengalis had to shed blood for our own language, that's why may be we are a bit of conservative about our language.
@shochindas316 afaik bengali and other regional languages hv an intermediate relation with Sanskrit, rather having developed as dialects from prakrit. Prakrit being the predecessor of Hindi in ancient period.
@Abhishek shukla every language of indo European is Indo Aryan first 🙄 , I have talked to slavic person here ( as par I researched oldest ethnicity is Serbians of slavic) and in Vedas they being mentioned as srbinda ( he said Srbenda mean a big Serb or great )
@Abhishek shukla indo Aryan scriptures contain almost all tribe/ clan / ethnicity ( mentioned) that existing in Indo European culture even mention how they split up from us by either battle or migrations
I'm from Indonesia, and I can understand some of the words, because we have the similar words with similar meaning in bahasa Indonesia. I think those words are from Sanskrit. At least three words that i can relate to, bayu (wind), warsa (year but in archaic and special form), and manusia (human).
Also same are strre wife Rahasya Rahasiya (secret) Putra Putra son Raksha raksha protect Rakshas raksasa (bad natured being not actually demon) Ank ank numbers ......
again, because Sanskrit influence, we also have those similar words in bahasa Indonesia, some of these are high language/literature terms : native Indonesian word in brackets 1. *warsa* = year (tahun), as in dasawarsa (sepuluh tahun) = 10 years 2. *bayu* = wind , (angin) 3. *manusia* = human (orang) good to know Domari language ♥️ that i never heard before

@Srijesh bhoopati interesting..I just assumed it as it was in the South .. anyway .. Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam all are Dravidian .. I speak kannada.
@Srijesh bhoopati oh you're one of those nuts that thinks tamil is the oldest language in the world 😂 .. btw if the aryan-dravidian theory is right it doesn't mean humans evolved in tamilnadu 😂 if aryans have central asian ancestry the Dravidians have African ancestry.. so what's this shit about half of the people not being from this country ?
To whomsoever it may concern... "Aryan migration theory is fake and proven" And if you can proof Aryan migration theory correct then, one organisation called "Jaipur dialogues" has Indian Rupees 10 million as prize money, you are most welcome to participate with all evidence and take home this big amount. All the best.
@Srijesh bhoopati yeah .. you validate your linguistic knowledge using Modi 😂 who is suppose to be what ? a linguist ? and I'm the ignorant prick ? .. as I said if the aryans are Central asians you tamils are African descendants so .. atleast there is the sentinalese Islands people to prove that .. sanskrit is a beautiful Indo-european language with sisters going upto Germany .. I'm a proud kannadiga but also a proud hindu .. you are a delusional victim of Dravidian movement and South separatist propoganda .. we kannadigaas and the telugu people will never support your absurd tamil supremacy fantasies .. f*ck off
I wasn't even aware that such a language as Domari existed. It's like a sister to the Indian languages presently spoken in India like Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali etc. As usual both guests were great! Thanks, Bahador, for introducing the Domari language and the people! 😊
@@bhaveshrajaiya1146 buddy Urdu was created by mixing Persian and Hindi so no wonder it feels Hindi is close to Urdu since Urdu is the child if u consider the mix of Persian and Hindi as marriage.

I was hoping someday you include a Roma / Doma language and you finally did 👏 I literally had zero knowledge about both Sanskrit and Domari and watched the whole video because lately I've been very curious to learn about the Romani people and how they lived through their travel from India to Europe. Well done guys 👏 I hope someday you will compare different Romani languages.. It's so underrated and people lack knowledge about the Roma culture. PS : I love how nobody used the term "Gypsy" which is considered offensive in English. In case people were wondering what Roma / Doma means It's what we know more commonly know as "gypsy" but please use Roma / Romani instead of that's word (It's what that people want to be called). Peace from France 🙂✌
'Extended Indian family' will be right term. 🙏 I expect oneday, Indian Government anxd Authorities give recognition to our lost family members, be it Sinti, Roma or Doma people. May they all live happily and with love. May Lord Shiva give them all the happiness. 🙏🙏🙏

though we grew up speaking Turkoman language in North Iraq, I used to hear Domari spoken by 'Karach' people and always sounded like Indian, as we used to watch Indian movies and picked up some words that also sounded like Kurdish or Persian

Dom people in Syria and Lebanon are often called 'Nawar". They are great people in fact and it is unfortunate that throughout the Middle East many people do not know about them despite their sizeable numbers.
Is that a derogatory term ? Seems like that Nawar word must be Arabic in India we have a rhyming word Gawar which for a person is derogatory. (There is a vegetable as well by same name)
You guys are geniuses:-) Sanskrit is so difficult! I try to learn a few words and sentences in Hindi but only through the Roman alphabet. I confess I like how Hindi sounds more, I love when the words don't end in a vowel, as when they say Ganesh, instead of Ganesha, Kam instead of Kama, etc.
OMG this one blew me away. As a languages graduate, I already knew that my native language, Italian, is an Indo-European language, just like its ancestor Latin and its "old, distant cousin" Sanskrit. But wow, Italian and Sanskrit are much closer than I thought. Here's the similarities (SA/DO/IT - ENG translation): - sarpa/sap/serpe, serpente (snake) - anguli/ungil/unghia (fingernail) - agni/ag/igni- (prefix meaning "fire") - nakra/nak/naso (nose) - manusya/manus/umano (human) - treni/tren/tre (three, 3) - ?/pesom/piselli (green peas) - kastha/kast/castello (this means "castle" and comes from Latin "castrum", which sounds really similar to "kastha" and refers to Roman forts usually built with wooden walls all around) - vanya/vay/aria (air. Not so similar, but "anya" sounds like "aria" a little bit) - churika/churi/coltello (knife, "coltello" comes from "culter", Latin word also meaning "knife", very similar to ENG "cutter" as well. Not sure about this one) Love from 🇮🇹

This is insane, I am a Bangladeshi, who speaks native bangla, and i know that it brances from sanskrit, but knowing we have so many similarities with Dommari caught me blindsided.
Arayans came to india from the same region genetic studies have proven that. Therefore not just words but also concepts of worship are in similar range.
I was so amazed with the duo played the word game! Damn so many similarities!!!!!!!!! In Indian culture, we have a noble saying, "Whole world is a Family". So true in many ways!!
Surprisingly as a Russian I guessed right half of the words. The other half I could see how we could potentially have related words. Sentences were the hardest.
That’s is because Sanskrit and Russian are very similar, for exp: eto nosh dom (In Russian), Etad Nash Dham (Sanskrit), in English this sentence is “This is my home/residence ” , so Russian and Sanskrit speakers can understand each other at least 60-70% of time ! Interesting right !!
@@ns012k what on earth! 😂 Etat Nash Dham??? That’s not Sanskrit. etad is Sanskrit, the rest is not. The Russian phrase is also incorrect. Russian speakers can not understand Sanskrit 80% of the time! Unless you are reading out numbers from one to ten or something. I am a native Russian speaker, who has studied Sanskrit for 4 years.
I find it charming how they assist one another with tips and hints to come up with the meanings. Two very encouraging and knowledgable people. I love these videos Bahador, thank you for making them.
I speak fluent Romany- it is so exciting to understand the Sanskrit words. Sometimes it is easier to understand the Sanskrit words than the Domari words and sometimes the other way around. However, I totally understand both - Sanskrit and Domari. I am so happy to know that the Romany language kept its Sanskrit roots.
I could get most of the words.. almost 95%. I understand Hindi and my Mother tongue is Tulu/Kannada , one of the South Indian languages. I am always delighted watching these linguistic exchanges between 2 different cultures
Wow that's so interesting. I've been waiting for so long to hear/see this comparison. But there's something more interesting about this video. I'm from east Europe and my dilact has more in common with the sanskrit pronunciation than domari and sanskrit. I didn't expect that in the beginning of this video. I would love to make a comparison video between my dialect and Doma dialect or Sanskrit or even hindi
I enjoyed learning about Domani people and their language, its really interesting how similar Domani language is to the modern Indo-Aryan languages in the sub-continent. I really loved Shivani from the Sanskrit and Malay video, she is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
I am a native Punjabi speaker and fluent in Hindi. What I picked from Domari language is that most of the words are pronounced excatly the same as in Punjabi language. Thanks for the video.
Tamil speaker here and I recognized a lot of the words that are similar in Tamizh such as 'dura' vs duraka = far. Very impressed with both of them, esp the young lady who is able to speak a language that has been long called 'dead' (It isn't). Beautiful connection, both of you! Love, from Sweden!!
@anon my Hindi language is also filled with urdu, farsi words. zarurat-avashyakta, shayad-sambhavtah, wajah- kaaran, maafi-kshama, istemaal-prayog, qamayab- saphal, ishq-prem, zyada-adhik,sirf-keval. Just because Bollywood promotes urdu in the name of hindi.
@Universe that doesn't justify that Tamil is older than Sanskrit. Yes it is Oldest SURVIVING language and I am proud of it. But Vedic Sanskrit if far older than it, it was spoken even when there was no writing system hence most of its literary work transferred from generation 2 generations through Shrutis(listening).
Coz domari romani migrated during turkic islamic massacres in 12th century onwards. Then awadhi gujarati was common people language. Sanskrit was anyway court language. Its prakrit roop existed even in ancient times with paishachi (which is believed to be common folk language in sindhu sarasvati civilization) etc India always was a sparchbund. Multiple related language families. Since after africa India has ancient genepool of humans both mitochondrial or y chromosome DNA
As far as I can see, the Domari language is more related to the various Prakrits derived from Sanskrit rather than Sanskrit itself. It is maybe due to the the time period in which these people migrated out of India. Unlike the previous populations who might have taken up from Classical Sanskrit or Vedic Sanskrit, this one has the Prakrit as the base language and thus the Prakrit version of words.
@@PS-ej2xn like Nose.. Narka is Sanskrit, Nak in Domri, Naak in Hindi, Naaka in Odia Snake.. Sarpa in Sanskrit, Sap in Domri, Saap in Hindi, Saapa in Odia..
Prakrit was the language of common people and Sanskrit of elite class ( rulers and priests ) ...this has been the rule since ages .. thus you'll find majority of the words similar to prakrit and prakrit is nothing but easy pronunciation of Sanskrit words .
We in Indonesia so many words derived from Sanskrit(we say Sangsekerta),through the age of Hinduism kingdom... We say human as manusia... Even our nation pillars Pancasila from Sanskrit words...

This is such an amazing concept. Yes showing the commonalities between languages is showing the connection between humanbeings and cultures that have emerged over time.
Me being a Sanskrit student for 5+ years, domari sounds very similar. It's great to know about other cultures rather than fighting with differences. Stay safe!
Great video!!!! 💯 So many words from Domari seemed almost the same as the words that are seen in Marathi and Hindi from the Sanskrit words, for example like Sap (साप), kaan(कान), and for Hindi like Ungli(उंगली), Pasom like Pas(पास). Amazing video! Interesting to see links between Sanskrit and Domari! 😊👍
What is 'pasom'? As an urdu and hindi speaker, I can confirm that words like 'saap' (سانپ) 🐍, kaan (کان) 👂, and ungli (انگلی) 👆 exist in urdu as well. Also the hindi spelling of snake is 'साॅंप' not 'साप'
@@tazziiieee I was referring to the Marathi spelling of Saap (snake) 🐍 which is indeed साप, and the spelling you referred to, साँप, is the Hindi spelling, which has a nasal sound in it unlike the Marathi spelling. Also he said that pāsom means 'at me', now if we think of let's say 'I have a book', we will say 'ek book (kitab/pustak) mere *pas* hai' in Hindi. I am referring to the word pās पास پاس because the termination '-om' sounded more like a possessive ending for the word and I felt that pāsom would mean 'near me' literally 'my near' if we think of Farsi this makes more sense. Think of 'my book' in Hindi we say मेरी किताब (मेरा पुस्तक), and in Urdu میری کتاب , and in Farsi there are two ways one is kitab-e-man کتابِ من or kitabam کتابم, similarly considering the latter form(kitab+am), taking the word pās, adding a termination such as '-om' would mean "near me" *(pās + om)*. Hence when I thought of the word "pāsom" I thought of it with two parts "pās" and "-om" with the first part meaning pās (near) पास پاس as we would use in Hindi/Urdu and the second part as a possessive termination meaning "of me", as a result I thought of it as "near 'of' me/ my near/ near me", just the way we say मेरे पास میرے پاس (mere pās).

Being a Welsh/English native speaker, I guessed most of these words correct but don't know how. Maybe because I have a little knowledge of Urdu and Persian but many words have cognates in Celtic languages too.
Connection between far apart languages never ceases to amaze me, but it's real. Us Hungarians separated from our sisters Mansi and Khanty 1,500 years ago but recently as I researched these languages a bit I realized astonishing similarities in grammar and vocabulary. So cool!
@@siddharthpillai8177 Not quite. You are missing the time scale here. PIE is a logically constructed language based on Vedic (most cognates) and other IE languages. Time scale is 3 to 5k years. Time scale for Domari or Romani should be 1k years.
I am Bulgarian and found some of the Sanskrit words similar to words in Bulgarian: - ostha (Sanskrit for 'lips') - usta (Bulgarian for 'mouth') - ustna (Bulgarian for 'lip') - kastha (Sanskrit for 'wood') - kashta (Bulgarian for 'house') - sarpa (Sanskrit for 'snake') - sarp (Bulgarian for curved knife like snake which was used in the past to cut wheat in the fields); - trini (Sanskrit for '3') - tri (Bulgarian for '3').
Thank you ,such a wonderful video . despite being Arab ,I enjoyed it lol . It's interesting that some words also sound close to English ,like Manus and manysha ,in English it's man ,huMan . Agni/Ag like Igneous /ignite . but no wonder since they have a common origin ..Indo-European languages . Kan in Turkish is blood while in Arabic :قان -Qaan means : Dark red! ,we use to describe that shade of red (An adjective) . When I heard Nakra I thought it's the same as Nakhra ,the state of being picky ,ill-tempered etc ... cuz I know this word from Hindustani songs ,,I don't know ,maybe people with attitude ,they lift up their nose as a sign of arrogance lol ,that's why Nakhra and nakra sounded almost the same! I have a question please : @5:39 ,the word varsha means year or rain ? ,cuz I found that varsha means rain or rainfall ,while varsh means year in Hindi/Sanskrit like in Domari . P.S : I love Hindustani languages and I can understand some Hindi/Urdu to some extent "thanx to films and serials lol" ,I know that Barsat means rain rain season (there's also baarish for rain) ,so I think it has a common origin with the word Varsa "Varsati-to get wet " in Sanskrit ..Somehow the v became b and we got Barsat .
Arabic language has different accent & consent, meaning other than sanskrit. It's written in right to left side This scripe called " Khagoshthi" Developed by a Indian sage, more than 6 thousands years ago
There are two meanings for Warsham, one is year and the other is rain, the same as in our native language Malayalam, which has a lot of Sanskrit vocabulary.
As a native hindi speaker (from Rajasthan) it seems to me that most of the hindi language has replaced sanskrit based words with persian and Arabic words. For example in our day to day lives, we don't use vayu (sanskrit)for air, but hawa (persian) and saal (persian) for year instead of varsha (sanskrit) And many more like that.
Very true im a pahadi girl living in Hyd most of the north Indian languages words replaced by urdu or persian words. But in telugu there are many Sanskrit words. along with dravidian words still in use. Like annam, ratri, udayam, devudu, kopam, anandam, dhairyam etc.
Thank you, Bahador for the great work you are doing. I am a linguaphile from the Maldives. I am a native speaker of the language of the Maldives - Dhivehi - which is one of the two Insular Indo-Aryan languages.
Great job Shivani. And Bahador too. Many years ago, looking at a breakfast menu in Rome, I was stunned to see how many Italian words are similar to Sanskrit. Same in Germany. The national airline Lufthansa really means lufto hansa, or flying swan as in their logo.
@@shivanigurjar13 My late dad, an author of 33 books pointed out to me, when I was a teenager. My dad trained in economics had a life long fascination with words and Indo-European languages. Between our Calcutta and Berkeley houses he collected 300 dictionaries in different languages. He has 33 books at Amazon -- one of the top three Bangla writers.
No. Despite the obvious similarity. The real meaning is Luft+Hansa. Where Hansa is not the Sanskrit swan, but derived from Hansa aka the Hanseatic League, a medieval commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Central and Northern Europe.
@@upresins Its not right. The confederal Hansaetic League cities of which Hamburg was a crown jewel, did not survive after 18th century. The airlines is a 20th century enterprise.
I think bahasa Indonesia more relates to Sanskrit. Bayu (Indonesian male name) : vayu = wind Warsa : varsa = year (In Indonesia dasawarsa mean 10 years) Manusia : manusya = human In Mahabharata story there is a figure called Karna. And he was born out of his mother's ear. And Karno (javanese male name) means ear. In Ramayana story, the youngest sister of Rahwana is Sarpakenaka. Sarpa means snake and kenaka means nail. Agni (javanese female name) means fire.
I never heard about Domari before. Even never known before about the relation between Romani and Indo people. As a Bengali speaker form Bangladesh. I understood most of the words. Most of the words are very similar to Shangskrit or Domari. Great video. Learn lot of new things👍👍
Being an Odia speaker, I can understand everything, but my case is that all words are same with that of Sanskrit, even the last sound of "a" at the end just rounded to ô/aw sound. Odia is the only indo-aryan language that don't have Schwa deletion like Sanskrit, all other indo-aryan languages have schwa deletion. Also, some words have more retroflex sounds, like anguli is Aanguļi in Odia( the l is a retroflex sound here). I had never heard of Domari or even, indigenous communities of Indians living outside India except the Indian diaspora in the Caribbean, North and South America and the South-east Asian countries like Malaysia. Well, it is Interesting to know.
@@adityav.joglekar3343 not completely though. The very first word for lotus is Kamala is Sanskrit, kamaļ in Marathi but still Kamaļa in Odia( l in Sanskrit is normal l, but retroflex l in Marathi and Odia). Although, Marathi retains the actual inherent vowel (ə) of Sanskrit which Odia doesn't ( it has short ô/aw as the inherent vowel), Marathi doesn't have the inherent vowel in every word due to Persian influence, but still a large % doesn't have schwa deletion. Even, when you speak Marathi in fast pace, the last vowel is dropped frequently. But, Odia does not, every letter in a word has the inherent vowel and it is still pronounced, be it slow or fast paced.
The Odia people (Kalinga people) were sailors and went to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia by sea from India around 800bc. There should be research on comparison between Sinhalese and Thal with Odia. It will be interesting video to watch.
@@infinite5795 the inherent vowel being absent from Kamal in Marathi is a good point but that’s an exception. Almost any other word ending in अ that I can think of retains the schwa - eg artha, vyartha, sambandha, prashna. We do not delete it even in rapid everyday speech. In fact we add it even to some words borrowed from Persian - eg karz becomes karja
I am an Indian Syleti (it's also regarded as a dialect of another Indian Language called Bengali) I am actually quite fascinated to see how much Domri is similar to Syleti. Considering Domri has Indian origin it should not be surprising. Since I am hearing this language for the first time and the language belongs to a different country now, that is why I am shocked. It's wierd how connected the entire world is.
@@rrsharizam Looklike impossible, Sanskrit have enormous literature,both written and passed down by memorizing from old to new generations, the people from the Indian continent taken for slavery have same linguistic roots.
Holyyyyu... wowwww. I learned Sanskrit in middle school, and 20 yeard later, I still remember all word forms and tenses, I loved sanskrit, amazing how similar the Domari is with its root language, kudos to dimari people to retain the language after all these centuries.
I'm from Poland :) Ošt - usta in Polish - sounds familiar Vay - in Polish it's wiatr, but the verb may be closer - wiać, where ć is just an ending, so "wiatr wieje" (wind is blowing - our j is pronounced like y) - sounds familiar Manus - it's like man in English. In Polish the closest would be mąż (presently meaning a husband, but a man in old Polish), but there's still a difference Ag, agni - in Polish it's ogień Sarpa - nothing similar to Polish, but it's like a serpent in other European languages (it's wąż in Polish)
@@दीपकनागर-थ5छ I know, but it's a risky word in Polish. It literally means "naked" (woman). I think the names of a legendary pair of Naga man and woman were translated as "Nag" and "Nagini" to avoid this confusion. So these words went completely different ways in our languages.
sanskrit = deva(god ) , Lithuania = deva (god) sanskrit = trree(3) , Eng= three sanskrit= septa ( 7) , Eng = hepta(gon) (seven sides) sankrit = nama , Eng = name sanskt = Gau , Eng = Cow , sansk = matra, Eng = mother Sanskrit= bhratra , Eng = brother sanskrt = arjun (silver), Italian= argentine Sanskrit= serp( snake ) , Eng= serpent Sanskrit = punch ( means five 5) , English= punch ( which needs FIVE fingers ✊) Sanskrit= Manu , Eng = Man Sanskrit= treekonmeti , Eng= trigonometry sansk = mrut(dead) ,Frech = mort This is just the tip of iceberg. Also Eastern European festival "Maslentisa" has a similarity with indian festival Holi . The name derived from a fire women (same ) ,the timing ( Feb/March same ), both marks end of winter ,both has wood burning .
@@mindreader9874 no :) though you're pretty close. Most of Polish people, though not all, are Roman Catholics, and so am I. So maslenitsa is not my tradition. We've just had Christmas, like in many other countries. Orthodox christians will celebrate Christmas on January 6. And I've checked that Maslenitsa is a sort of good-bye to winter, celebrated in the end of February and beginning of March.

@@bhaveshrajaiya1146 yes you are absolutely correct, just look at these sentences: Yeh bohot mushquil he यह बहुत मुश्किल है Iski kya zarurat he इसकी क्या ज़रुरत है These sentences/ Hindi in a nutshell is disguised in Devanagari (samskrutham script) but actually Urdu
Video was great, thank you for sharing this,here words from domari were so similar to Marathi language than sanskrit, although sanskrit is mother language here, Also I would like to add here, there is one tribe in maharashtra known as "Dombari" ( it's extinct now) ,these people were nomads basically and use to travel from one village to the other performing acrobatics. Name here in marathi " dombari" and Morden name " domari " is very similar too.
Exact words were going through my mind when I was reading your comments. I had Sudanese students as PGs in Pune city they too had similar words as "kuthmir for kothimbir","Misar for Masur(dal)* "Wafalya for boil"and so many all are similar marathi words. I wonder if Mr. Bahador would be able to manage a session with Sudanese language.
I had Sudanese. PGs in Pune city they had many Marathi words.Wonder whether similar session would be possible with Sudanese language as Sudan is exactly opposite to Maharashtra geographically and this would be easier to Ms.Shivani as she seems to be familiar with Marathi.
Domari is very similar to Gujarati, my native tongue. I live in New York and once on a local train there was a group of Domari people speaking amongst themselves, and I could understand about 60% of the conversation
@Kamal- .Dombaari is Maharashtra's nomadic tribe. All the words that you used are in Marathi (State language of Maharashtra). Dombaari are mostly found in South and Western part of India, mostly in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra. In the past, Dombaaris by profession use to skin the dead cattles and use it to make percussion instruments- drums. Hence drums in various forms are called- Damru, Damara, Duff, Duffli, Dhol and so on. Dombaaris also were musicians and performers because of their expertise in percussion instruments. The Romanis In Europe on other hand, though also a nomadic tribe of India are mostly are from Northern and Eastern parts of India. They are recognized by various names across India- Banjaras, Vanjaris, Lamanis, Gor Benarasi, Kolhati, Mukeri, and Multani (Now in Pakistan). By profession they were lifestock breeders and traders.
Perfect, being from Maharashtra I could relate most of the words. This girl is also being from Maharashtra could relate the domari ( Dombari) words easily, sheer coincidence I would say. Had any tribe defected from India two thousand years ago it would have been possible to easily correlate with Sanskrit, but this tribe they moved thousand years ago, by then Marathi had developed quite well. Being Marathi I could relate most of the words immediately. The moment you said 'Dombari ' everything started to fall in place.
