Was haben Deutsche und Afghanen gemeinsam?🇩🇪🇦🇫 (Die Antwort wird euch schockieren!)

0:10 If I say Afghanistan, what do you think of? I'll give you 5 seconds to think [music]. And now I'll give you 5 seconds to think about Germany . What were you thinking? You have thought of many things, but not that these two peoples could have something in common . That's why in this video we ask ourselves the question: what do these two peoples [music] have in common? In short, both the Afghans and the Germans were one and the same

0:57 [music] people about 5500 years ago. We know that this people existed. But we do not know what it called itself or what it was called by other peoples. Today we call it the [music] Indo-Europeans. The Indo-Europeans migrated from their original homeland, the area marked here, in various directions to the east and west about 5500 years ago . But why do we actually call them Indo-Europeans? This is very easily explained. The modern-day descendants of the Indo-Europeans extend from India to Europe. To be precise, all the

1:42 peoples and cultures you see marked on the map here are related to each other because of their Indo-European [music] origins. This video is about the Afghans and the Germans. The Afghans come from the Persian branch of this people and the Germans from the Germanic branch. The ancestors of both Afghans and Germans have changed significantly over the course of 5,500 years and have mixed with other cultures and peoples. But since they were once one people, there must have been something in common. Today we look at what has remained common practice . What defines a people? a common genetics, language, history

2:28 or culture. In today's video we look at the common linguistic remnants of the two cultures [music] . First of all, Arabic is not the language of Afghanistan. Some people mistakenly believe that the native language of Afghan women is Arabic, as Afghanistan was conquered by Muslim Arabs around 1300 years ago and they converted to Islam at the same time , which has had a major influence on them linguistically, culturally, religiously and also partly genetically , which is why they may appear Arabic at first glance . However, they are not Arabs in origin. This is Afghanistan. Afghanistan can be divided linguistically into two large groups. In the south of the country,

3:16 Pastu is mainly spoken, and in the north, what is also called Afghan Persian. Both are related languages. Today we will look at Dari and see what similarities it has with German . Dari uses the Arabic alphabet, which consists of 28 letters . Since the Arabic alphabet did not initially have all the sounds required to represent the Tari, the Afghans added a few sounds . Therefore, the Tari alphabet has 32 letters. The Arabic alphabet is also read from right to left. Not like our alphabet from left to right. Since not all viewers of this

4:02 video can read the Arabic alphabet , I have translated the following words and sentences from the Arabic alphabet into our Latin alphabet . For example, this S and this K become a K and so on. Let's go. You, you, my husband. Name Name Name is a word that is increasingly being replaced in everyday spoken Dari by the Arabic word is , which also means name in Arabic . However, the word “Name” can still be found in old stories, on

4:48 documents or on identity cards . Mouse, [Music] Mosch, Star Zara. [Music] Short [Music] Kutter new Now. Nau is also a word that is increasingly being replaced in everyday language by the Arabic word Jedit , which also means new in Arabic. [Music] Mother

5:33 Modar Brother [Music] Parodar Daughter Duch. What is interesting about this word is that both German and Tari have retained the sound. In other Ino-European languages ​​this has been lost, such as in English daughter. It is also interesting that the German word Tochter ends with er, but in modern standard German it is pronounced with an A at the end . The written version with er at the end indicates that it used to be pronounced that way. So, the next time you write a word like that, remember that you are actually writing an outdated version of that word [music]

6:21 . It's almost better [music] Betar. No or no? [Music] No, as warm as a man [Music] Martu Band. [Music]

7:06 Band Band is still used today in Dari as in German. For example, bracelet on Darie is called Dust Band. Dust does not stand for the arm, but for the hand. And band means exactly like in German band, so to speak hand band in Dari. The word band also appears in Dari in the word for belt, which shows that this word has not changed to this day, both in pronunciation and meaning . Sech shesch Lippe Lapp. Pay close attention. Then try to translate the following sentences and words

7:53 to [music] . This is a sentence in modern current Dari and here is its translation into our [music] letters. Name Man Max [Music] Ast. Well, any ideas yet? Here is the solution. Could you understand it? [Music] And another one. [Music] Duchiman as duchter

8:44 [Music] Patarast. Only the word “du”, which in German becomes “dein deine” or “ derer”, is slightly different. According to the motto, you daughter for your daughter. The Tari or Wise Persian has lost its cases over time. It is the same in other Indo-European languages . In Spanish you also say “du” to say yours, yours or yours. And also in Italian Duo or Dua. [Music] There are of course further overlaps with other Indo-European languages, but that is a topic for another

9:30 video. Did you understand any of the words and sentences mentioned in this video ? [Music] To return to the question at the beginning of our video, the Germans and the Afghans not only share a common history, but as we have seen in this video , they still share a common vocabulary to this day . Which is quite interesting considering that these languages ​​diverged in different directions about 5500 years ago . But why Afghanistan and Germany? I could have also used Iran instead of Afghanistan as a comparison for this video, since Persian is also spoken there, or Austria instead of Germany. However, the comparison between a country like Afghanistan and Germany is even more

10:16 striking, as these two peoples could not be more different today. [Music]
