Similarities Between Ukrainian and Persian

Two Ukrainian speakers, Alex and Bogdan, compete against two Persian speakers, Sara and Amir. The Persian language, which at times is referred to by its endonym Farsi, is a Western Iranian language within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. It holds official status in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It is referred to as Dari in Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan. It is also widely spoken in other parts of the Central Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia. Ukrainian (українська мова) is the official state language of Ukraine originating from the Old East Slavic of the early medieval state of Kievan Rus'. The Modern Ukrainian language has been in common use since the late 17th century. In this video we explore some similarities that the two languages share, despite one being an Iranian language, and the other being Slavic.
