Is it related to the Russian word земля?

[-] iraniangoalsdotcom@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

From earlier زمی‎ (zami), from Middle Persian zmyk' (zamīg, “earth”), from Proto-Iranian *jáHs (compare Northern Kurdish zevî, Northern Luri زمی‎ (zemi), Avestan 𐬰𐬃‎ (zā̊)), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰžʰáHs (compare Sanskrit क्ष (kṣa)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm (compare Russian земля́ (zemljá), Latvian zeme, Latin humus, Ancient Greek χθών (khthṓn)).

apparently so, that's pretty cool.

on the other hand, Persian and my language use a lot of Russian loan-words too

can't believe Persians had so much influence in this world XD

[-] thefreepenguinalt@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago

No, it wasn't the Persians, as "Persian" wasn't even a thing during Proto-Indo-European times. It's similar to calling them "Russians" or "Germans" or "Swedes"

Oh Aryans? I think these words were introduced by Aryan migration into India.

"Aryan" is kinda a loaded term, ever since a certain Austrian painter used it for his racial propaganda

Aryan is a loaded term to the westerners. It's like saying Swastika is a loaded thing in the West. In the east millions of hindus/buddhists use swastika as a symbol of devotion to god/karmic cycle for 3000 years. Our marxists journals and marxist historians always write about aryan migration and etc. They themselves wrote in the ancient sanskrit that Northern India is Aryavarta , why should I change my history for a man living in other side of the world genociding jews.
