Similarities Between Sanskrit and Lithuanian 

It's because trough time our pronunciation changed a lot here is an example of how people talks in villages up to this day ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S2RCQTFX6UU.html&ab_channel=Balticfolk

congrats to India

I guess you learned Sanskrit. As far as I know, Hindi is not as similar to Lithuanian as Sanskrit.

​@@user-xn2zd7bl1uHindi is basically Prakrit+Sanskrit, Prakrit came out of Sanskrit.

​@@user-xn2zd7bl1uthose who know Hindi can understand Sanskrit too as Hindi is derived from Sanskrit.

At least you knew it was connected. I was clueless until this video popped up because I've subscribed channel. Very informative. And I'll be learning more about Lithuania now too 😊

Both are conservative and very old Indo-European languages. Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian branch was always rather closely connected and some think they have a common source later than the Corded Ware Culture. Indo-Iranians and Balto-Slavs are also R1a rather than R1b. Maybe you now all of this, but there is a reason we are similar beyond Indo-European connection. :D

Sanskrit is mother of all labguage

Authors forgot that we have samogitian lithuanian dialect that sometimes is even more similar.

The Greeks were always speaking of India as the sacred territory of Dionysus and historians working under Alexander the Greek clearly mentions chronicles of the Puranas as sources of the myth of Dionysus." Alain Danielou - 1907-1994. ~ “Is it not probable that the Brahmins were the first legislators of the earth, the first philosophers, the first theologians ? The Greeks, before the time of Pythagoras, travelled into India for instruction.” ~ Voltaire. ~ Nearly all the philosophical and mathematical doctrines attributed to Pythagoras are derived from India. ~ Ludwig von Shroeder ~ It is true that even across the Himalayan barrier India has sent to the West, such gifts as grammar and logic, philosophy, fables, hypnotism and chess, and above all numerals and the decimal system.” Will Durant - American Historian. ~ The history of how Indian fairy tales and fables migrated from one country to another to nearly all the people of Europe and Asia and even to African tribes from their original home in India borders on the marvellous. It is not a case of single stories finding their way by way of mouth ..... from India to other countries but of whole Indian books becoming through the medium of translations the common property of the world .... many fairy tales current among the most various people can be traced to their original home in India - A.A.Macdonell". ~ The oldest Greek writers, observes Sir William Jones, allow that their mythologies were not their own invention (As. Res. III. 467) ; and it is now certain that the early divinities and legends of Greece were the same that were possessed by their brethren in India. If Hegel calls the discovery of the common origin of Greek and Sanskrit the discovery of a new world, the same may be said with regard to the common origin of Greek and Sanskrit mythology “ The legends of the Old Testament - Thomas Lumisden Strange. ~ Mark Twain, American author: "India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only." ~ Will Durant, American historian: "India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all". ~ In the Vedic language we have the foundation, not only of the glowing legends of Hellas (Greece), but of the dark and sombre mythology of the Scandinavian and the Teuton" (Cox, Mythology of the Aryan Nations, I., 52, 53). ~ Takshashila University Taxila as it is called today, Takshashila University established around 2700 years ago was home to over 10500 students where the students from all across the world used to come to attain specialization in over 64 different fields of study like vedas, grammar, philosophy, ayurveda, agriculture, surgery, politics, archery, warfare, astronomy, commerce, futurology, music, dance, etc. Famous graduates of this university include the ones like Chanakya, Panini, Charaka, Vishnu Sharma, Jivaka, etc. This is the world’s oldest university. ~ India - the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contain not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all were known to the seers who founded the Vedas. ~ Wheeler Wilcox. ~ Gravitation was known to the Indians before the birth of Newton. The system of blood circulation was discovered by them centuries before Harvey was heard of. ~ P. Johnstone ~ "This is an attempt to show that the Druids were the priests of Oriental colonies who emigrated from India and were the introducers of the first or Cadmean system of letters and the builders of Stonehenge, of Carnac, and of other Cyclopean works in Asia and Europe”. Godfrey Higgins "The Celtic Druids” ~ “I take issue with the old school of thought that the cultural and civic life we Westerners enjoy originated in the works of Greek and Roman philosophers. Instead the mind and soul that inspired our words sprang from neither Greece nor Rome, but from an Indo/euro homeland located much further north. In truth according to my studies the history of we Westerners does not begin with the Greeks, we were invented along with the Greeks by Vedic poet seers through their mother tongue, Sanskrit, which evolved into Greek and Latin, which are simple phonetic variants of it.“ Franco Rendich - Indo/European etymology

Takshashila was a Buddhist University at that time The student came across the world for studies. Buddhism is the first Indian religion that crossed borders first & of course Sanskrit came later from Indo Eurasian invaders. Languages which were in india prakrut pali & Dravidian much older than Sanskrit.

Amazing, right? The funny part was that the sentences were more difficult to pick up, but almost all the words that were shared with Sanskrit, also have a counterpart in latvian. I always thought our languages were similar because we lived so nearby, but I guess it's also largely due to their common ancestry!

Are there any similar words you have to what the girl is saying in Sanskrit?

@@saloninavale3826 yes, basically Lithuanian and Latvian are as similar as Swedish and Norwegian. So it is just as similar to Sanskrit, we have words like Dievs meaning God and uguns meaning fire.

It's the basics of linguistics - if you're interested, learn it. It's a fascinating science!

Try taking a Latin class! Really helps you see language differently

Degree hogi uske pass, as simple as that

you cannot learn Sanskrit without knowing this, because in sanskrit the word changes all the time depending on its relation to other words in the sentence, and the way it changes depends on what gender it is, and same applies to verbs, etc. An English speaker cannot comprehend how specific and accurate expression can be in the inflectional languages.

Finnish speakers learn to do this in school. I wonder whether it’s because the Finnish wealth in cases demand us to be able to deconstruct it.

yes... both have their roots in "aryan migration. "

That's surprising. Is Lithuanian closer to Sanskrit than it is to Latvian?

​@@ravindra7791Thanks the great indo European milk drinkers!

​@@ravindra7791Yes, because Lithuanians use more old forms of the words.

​@@chandra_hasno. The Sanskrit speakers went from India to other countries. There are migratory evidences.

Fuk Tamil

​@@chandra_hasno even European languages aren't native to Europe like Sanskrit, they came from the Caucasus mountains.

@@MsLizzie50 The following are evidence found till date which scientifically accepted unlike youtube evidence. The most common theory is that Sanskrit was brought to India by Indo-Aryan-speaking peoples who migrated from Central Asia. These peoples are thought to have arrived in India around 1500 BCE, and they brought their language with them. The linguistic evidence for this theory is strong. Sanskrit is closely related to other Indo-European languages, such as Greek, Latin, and Persian. This suggests that Sanskrit and these other languages share a common ancestor, which was spoken in Central Asia. The archaeological evidence for this theory is also strong. There have been a number of archaeological sites found in Central Asia that date to the 2nd millennium BCE. These sites have yielded evidence of Indo-Aryan-speaking peoples, including pottery, tools, and weapons. However, there is also some evidence that suggests that Sanskrit may have developed in India from a pre-existing language. This evidence comes from the study of the Dravidian languages, which are spoken by some of the indigenous peoples of India. The Dravidian languages are not related to Sanskrit, but they share some similarities with it. This suggests that Sanskrit may have developed from a Dravidian language, or that the two languages had a common ancestor.

Lithuania is a nation that is old,it was created only a few hundred years ago basically by jews who took the minority language and forced everyone who is slavic to learn it,basically exterminating the real old languages like Samogitian because it was way to close to Russian culturally and the way language sounded,many dont know but Lithuania was created to basically be Israel for jews but it failed.For instance Vilnius used to be 70% jewish. They took the most western minority language,if you go to any museum before 16th century everyone wrote Ciricil and even before that same letters Russians had-runic.Latin letters and Christianity were introduced through genocide killing off the real culture and anyone who disagreed to convert to Judaic religion. Ukraine and Lithuania were created to be jewish land but then it failed and they are doing the same to Palestine now,I wonder if they will move Israel back to Ukraine now that it has been depopulated.Khazaria was basically old Israel,current emblems of Ukraine are Khazar.

Hi! Thanks for the comment. Yes, Lithuania converted to Christianity due to political isolation in the late 14th century. Also, the language was banned during the Russian Empire’s occupation. Nonetheless, it still persevered underground and maintained its uniqueness and conservatism throughout the ages. :)

Lithuanian is not a last surviving cousin to Sanskrit. Both languages are Indo-European and there are still a lot of Indo-European languages exist on this planet.

@@arita2002 Yes, even I'm an Indo-European speaker, what I meant is Lithuanian is the last classical/ancient Indo-European which is still living. Sanskrit and Latin, both IE, are now dead and gave rise to Romance and Indo-Aryan languages but compared to both Lithuanian has remained relatively unchanged.

I read somewhere that some of the peasants in Lithuania still secretly held on to pagan beliefs up until modern times and that now there is a movement to restore the worship of their old gods. I think it is called Rumova or something like that. This is extraordinary considering how brutally they were converted to Christianity during the northern crusades by the Teutonic Knights. They were not the last pagans in Europe though. Finland was pagan up until the 1600s. Their cousins further northhe, Saami were pagan up until like the 1800s. There’s supposedly a group in Russia called the Mari that retain their pagan beliefs unbroken even to this very day.

Same. I am also Tamil. I love both Tamil and Sanskrit (mainly because of Om Sivoham Song).

You are a political tamil. That's why you are not part of it.

@@rajadahir2066 Linguistically Tamil is not part of the Indo-European family of languages. I'm a Tamil by birth but politically I'm a citizen of India. I hope now you understand the difference between linguistics and politics.

There is two main theories of Indo-European areal origin: 1. Yamnaya culture hypothesis 2. Anatolian hypothesis If you want to discover more, you can google it))

European are Indian. Indian people went to Europe rather than their bullshit Arayan invasion theory. The ancestors of all the European today are the originally Indian. These so called historian will never do research and will never agree.

It is.

Change the word indo European to aryans. Arya is the word for these people. Arya means well cultured and well educated aka gentleman.

@@Aniruddha197 Aryas is reserved for the Indo-Iranians. Other IE people are not Aryas.

then you haven't heard danish

Try slavic -celtics, especially Irish. Preferly west and south dialects.

Thank you. gera girdėti tokį gražų įvertinimą

Thank you for such kind words. It’s nice to know that others can appreciate its beauty too ❤

yes, balto slavic languages possibly were of the same language branch and later split from each other

soa/soyan means sleep in Prakritized languages 😂

In Bengali also, ugnis is aagun.

Even your name is a sankrit word "Prashasti" which means in praise of. Fellow indians would know it from the word "prashansa"

@@Pain53924 prasasti = inscription in indonesian

As an indian I can understand meaning of your name since prashasti is also a Sanskrit word

Indonesia was ancient Vedic land, peoples names still are from that era and Bali still has culture too. It has just changed its religion and culture is still similar to India.

Big thanks and a hug from Lithuania!

Even some Georgian word is similar to sanskrit text I found almost 1/4 major language having various sanskrit words across Europe, south east asia, east asia and south Asia

... we also have 6 *cases ...

@@manfredneilmann4305 thanks for noticing the typo. But we also have 6 declensions 😅

Many of these are the same in the Slavic languages. It is also funny how dzīvot is живот (zhivot) in Bulgarian, which means "life", while in Russian живот means "belly". Life is жизнь (zhizn') in Russian.

Read about the battle of ten kings....it's in the aftermath of that battle that losing tribes moved northwards...some travelled north east to modern day Mongolia & Russia, others travelled north west towards modern day Europe & some settled near Iranian region...that's why all these regions have similar language & ancient gods of all these regions are similar. However, many European supremacists don't want to accept that and thus came up with Aryan invasion theory(which says that civilization in Indian subcontinent began after Aryans from Europe invaded it)....which gets debunked when you look at recent findings of the existence of ancient river sarasvati (found to exist thousands years earlier than so called Aryan invasion) which finds mention in ancient Sanskrit text Rigveda.

Aryans

Research Yamnaya peoples. Somewhere in the past, few thousands of years ago, part of them went West and later became Europeans we know today, another part went East, then South, and became ruling class of India. Ruling class spoke Sanskrit. Sanskrit and all Indo-European languages in Europe are sister languages.

Somewhere between iran and India, probably Afghanistan.

We call it zobs or zobi (plural). But I guess it’s borrowed from Slavs, maybe Poles.
