    As an Arab to me Persian sounds distinctly different unlike say Aramaic.

      As an Eastern European American, to me, spoken Persian phonetically sounds like Russian (perhaps same sounds and phonemes, but, of course I can’t understand it)

        There’s probably some shared cognates, Persian has one that I know of with English.
