Shukria in urdu comes from shukran in arabic, maybe the tashakur comes from arabic. I dont think shukran came from persian maybe im wrong

Merci sounds like french

[QUOTE=sheenkay;100664]tashkur, is a bit like urdu

urdu is rich in dari words, it was influenced under persian.

coz farsi has loads of arabic words

merci = mercy

i think theres a difference of opinion on that. Persian is a developed language and the arabic words that came into persian were through like the islamification and through islam.

^ yep it did come from french, iranian/pahlavi accent is influenced by alot of languages

[Sheenka]

no they do have links coz we have same writing style alphabets

[eyeliner]

^ well yes, there essentially the same language. Oh and arabic script is used but it doesnt mean its linked, the only thing that links them is islam, arabic is a semetic language while persian is an iranic one

[Sheenka]

i dont say they r same langauge obviously, and ya its linked coz of islaam

[ayub]

basically Iranian Farsi sounds much better, is more eloquent and sophisticated. Dari is village language. :-)

[Sheenka]

dari means dara which is similar to village in dari

[eyeliner]

dari apparently came from darbari, thats what i heard

[Sheenka]
