You don’t hear this often, but the Farsi we speak in Afghanistan has a bunch of words that actually come from Hindi. Stuff like kachaloo and charas—you’ve probably used them your whole life without thinking twice. Here are five that aren’t Persian at all. Think I’ve missed any? Let me know. #hindi #persian #sanskrit #afghan #afghanistan #history #etymology #learning #afghanhistory #india #indian #indianhistory #farsi #dari #indiagram #persia #historygram #historyofindia #art #mothertongue #literature #persianliterature #indianliterature #english #ancienthistory
