- Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Special Thanks to Ben Jo
Sogdian holds a unique position among Eastern Iranian languages due to its historical significance. Historically, it thrived as perhaps the most successful Eastern Iranian language, acting as a lingua franca along the Central Asian route of the Silk Road. Beyond trade, it played a crucial role in the translation of religious documents, including those of Buddhism and Christianity. However, despite its prominence, Sogdian suffered a decline following the Arab invasion of Central Asia, diminishing in influence from the late 8th century onwards. By the 10th and 11th centuries, Persian began to replace Sogdian, relegating it to the peripheries of Sogdiana. Despite its varied dialects, some well-documented and others less so, Sogdian's legacy endures through its preserved texts and its closely related descendant, Yaghnōbī.

Hi, can you share your language with us through Andi's site? Thanks

I am a Persian native speaker (no, I can't understand this language, but I recognize words here and there). I appreciate this video a lot!
You cant understand because its not your language, its derived from turkic.
@@postachamdi6286 . It's not, it's Iranic. The grammar and the vocabulary is all Iranic. It is just not mutually intelligible with Persian, since they evolved in different directions. Also, Sogdian is an East Iranian language, unlike Persian, which is West Iranian.
@@imhummingbird8043 you absolutely right
@@postachamdi6286 educate yourself on the topic.
@@postachamdi6286no it is Iranian you Turk nationalist
Мне как потомку переселенцев из Средней Азии было очень интересно посмотреть это видео 👍🏻
As a proud Iranian-Pamiri,I understood about 65% of Sogdian.My ancestors migrated deep into the mountains after Central Asia got waves of invasions by arabs,mongols and turks so not only we have preserved the language,but also a lot of the Zoroastrian customs too.
I see some turks making idiotic claims in the comments,just stop it already guys.Not in this day and age... It's embarassing.

I know Farsi and Pashto and I saw almost all the words are similar with Pashto and Farsi.
woww.. is this the original script of our manchu writing script ? I'm so grateful of your greatest achievements.
As a persian speaker
I only understand 80%numbers,60%words,and a few word in smaple text
Same. Could understand 65% if i listened really closely
Almost all of the words are pretty close to Persian language.

As an Iranian, I have complete command of Farsi, Kurdish, Balochi, Gilaki and Mazandarani languages
I did not understand a single sentence of the Sogdian language
I can understand a big chunk of it as a Persian speaker
Hello brother I want to contact you
If you learn Pashto, youll get a better grasp of Sogdian. Pashto and Sogdian are more closely related
@@amazingamx1255 Or he could just learn it's descendant language which is Yaghnobi, but it might be a waste of time because of the number of speakers.
@@yomiolokodana Yea, But you can get a descend understanding of it if you speak Pashto. In this video I highly suspect has wrong persian influences
This script is very insane 🗿🍷

I am a Bactrian/Balkhi Tajik and a Farsi speaker… I understood about 30 to 40%.
Sorry to break it for u but bactrains are pashtuns. The language was called bakhto so u can guess
Quite curious... I am german and the word "daughter" that they say "dechter" sound like "tochter" in german... Phonetically, it sounds very similar, as well as, the guttural sounds, as in german we also have some similar sounds... Amazing to hear some similar word... Languages are phantastic...
because indoeuropean language

Oh, dear Eastern Iranians. We miss you so much in the current Iran. Hope to be united soon again.
Very similar to pashto, appreciate your work
because eastern Iranian languages (pashtun, khwarezmian, sogdian , bactrian , scythian)
This language sounds prestige already 👌
The only contact I’ve had with Sogdian is an apocryphal historical novel about Li Po dictating his autobiography. He mentions some of the exotic birds he caught and sold in his youth sounded like Sogdian ritual drums.
Could you do Arabic and Aramaic, or is there one already, I feel like it was a dialect of Aramaic, than the real Aramaic language?
what the music on background?
As afghan/pashtun I understood 50%
because eastern iranian
They're my ancestors. Unfortunately, we don't know the language.

Does anyone know which script is being used for the Sogdian in this video?
syriac script>sogdian script
@@vvertyqvverty8784
Thank you so much. I had no idea.
@@RCSVirginia Syriac script>sogdian script>mongol script
as someone with knowledge of Sanskrit, many of the less obvious words were recognisable like the sogdian word for husband is wir, sounds like it's related to vira (young man, hero), wana for tree sounds like sanskrit vana (forest in sanskrit), daruka for wood is pretty much the same, and sanskrit gau and sogdian ğau are similar sounding too
😂
There is no relation between Sogdian and indian languages
Sogdians not pajeets
@@suikzaxa9593 of course not. Sogdians probably borrowed those words due to silk road.
@@vvertyqvverty8784 Come again? Didn't you Tajik/Uzbeks get conquered by Soviet? Lol.
I watched a previous video and it was so similar to Pashto. This video makes it more similar to Persian. Weird
I am Pashtun from Pakistan and i can understand 70%
I hear 30% Sanskrit words in this. God, history is fascinating.

К иранской группе относятся персидский известный на трёх стадиях развития : древней персидский, среднеперсидский и новоперсидский.
К древне персидский языки относились уже нынешней время считаются мёртвые языки:
*Бактирийский, *Согдийский *Хорезмийский
*Парфянский....
Рискуя собственной жизни не которое из древне персидский сохранились до сегодняшнего дня. К ним относится:
** пашто-
**осетинский
**памирские
**ягнобский
Древние персидский языки которые мы называли близко родственны языкам индийской, или индоарийских, группы, в которую входят, помимо современных засвидетельствованные древними текстами ведической диалект, санскрит, пали.
Вместе с индоарийскими языками иранские составляют индоиранскую, или арийскую, ветвь индоевропейской семьи языков. К последней принадлежат также языки славянские, германские, кельтские, романские, греческий, армянский?? и ряд других. Близость этих языков, проявляющаяся в ряде моментов и теперь, но значительно большая в древности, указывает на их генетическое родство.
Happy to learn more about the native language of the infamous An Lushan, very beautiful language indeed.
Nam pezda. Интересный был язык😮

Aww so similarly similar to Pashto!
Because Pashto and sogdian both are an east Iranian language and in fact Pashtos are sakas whom migrated to those land because of turkic tribes
You know more than me thx, no wonder Pashto is different language compared to its surroundings languages. Crazy how close this Soghdian language is to Pashto
@@user-oj8sh7ur4xso Soghdian and Saka were Spoken before Pashto
@@YonaPopl you could say that
And also that's the reason why some of Pashtos have blue and green eyes and are light skinned
Can you understand any of it?
Я Таджик в текстовом формате все понял Лексика -всё на древнеперсидский похожа Корни слов одинаковые Глаголы немного отличаются Но понять можно Но надо понимать тот факт что языку более 2000 лет Есть несколько Русских слов и формы глагола Есть несколько Европейских слов Любой кто изучал древнеперсидский и язык пахлави может понять согдийский
Im a North Eastern Aramaic Speaker ( Syriac) and Sogdian writing system is very similar to the Syriac writing system.
Historical they also accepted Nestorian Christianity, today, known as Holy Apostolic Assyrian Church of the East.
You're talking nonsense. Most Sogdians were either Manichaean Christians or Zoroastrians. There were also Buddhist Sogdians.
@@vvertyqvverty8784
Yes, Nestorian Christianity, a Historically called Church of the East.
@VE9911 dude , you talking nonsense
粟特人的语言
It really has similarities with Persian and Russian and it was located exactly between these two areas
nonsense. Sogdian its eastern iranian language, like scythian or old bactrian, old khwarezmian
@@vvertyqvverty8784 that's the point... Central Asia is the contact point between Persian and Russian culture. I mean it is an Indo-European language that makes contact / transition in some level with Slavic languages (and it also has similarities to other languages, like Greek)
Words like: mother, father, daughter, numbers (2, 3, 4, 5...), star, mountain, warm, name, to die
I'm not saying it is a Slavic language, but Indo-European and thus it has similarities with other languages of the family
@@leandrojulian7155 read about the Centum-Satem isoglosses and you will understand why the Balto-Slavic languages are similar to the Indo-Iranian languages. The issue here is not at all about the mythical “intersection of cultures.”
At the time when Sogdian language existed there was no such thing as Russian language and probably no Slavic languages either at all, maybe just Porto Balto-Slavic, I noticed that the word “door” in sogdian sounded almost the same with Russian word for “door”, but that has got nothing to do with Russian language influence on sogdiana, as Russian language nor Russia (Kievan Rus) were not existing at the time of Sogdiana, instead the similarities are through common Indo-European roots.
@@leandrojulian7155 Similarity between Russian and Sogd is due to the common ancestry of Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian languages cca 5000 years ago, not due to their first contact cca 150 years ago (that's when Russians reached that region and colonized it 5000+ kilometers from the Russian homeland).
You have to agree, the language sounds a lot similar to Sanskrit and Avestan
I got almost all of it, dorood az Tajikistan ba tamame Iranihae in zameen. Payanda bad Aryanam Vezh. Yazdan Ahrimanra ba qavmash nabood mesazad..
It's shouldn't like pashtoo of afghanistan for example it said za zowdig eim , in pashto it's mean I'm a zodig
Sounds like some Slavic language.
nonsense

Sogdian language is lost
It's not a living language, but it has been preserved in ancient texts, and can still be read by scholars. I'm not sure how much of the pronunciation we hear on this upload is guesswork.
@@barrymoore4470 It's descendant language of Yaghnobi still exists though, so I guess it didn't totally die out.
Sometimes it's even refered to as "Neo-Sogdian".
They were turkic with iranic like language, not everybody are iranian
How ? There language share actual connections with other Iranic languages , where do you see the Turkic in there ?
In your dreams. Stop stea.ling history.
Yeah i call this history stealing
Before the turkic migration to west there were iranic people there not turkic
They call it turkic migration for a reason
@@kingofnuggets7304 sogdians have a bit east asian blood, it means by blood they were turkic origin. Scythians, sakas and seljuks aswell, iranians are trying to steal them.
First of all we should take decision wheter turkic people are exist or not
That is very close language to kurdish kermance language.
