53 MORE PERSIAN WORDS AT THE END OF THIS PAGE
if you google for "avesta cognates" (there is a website with a chart of 75 avestan words similar to English words), or "Dictionary of most common avesta words" , interestingly you will find that those avestan words are too similar to today's English words , like these avestan words : year (yare) ,arm (arema), you (yuzh), he (he) ,we (vae) ,fresh (frasha) , win (van) , three (thri) , gape (gapa) ,path (pathan) , now ( nû), not (nôit) ..and many more....these similarities are mind-boggling , specially considering the distance between Iran and England...of course other languages like Latvian and lithuanian have a lot of similar words with avestan and sanskrit languages too.

53 MORE PERSIAN WORDS AT THE END OF THIS PAGE
if you google for "avesta cognates" (there is a website with a chart of 75 avestan words similar to English words), or "Dictionary of most common avesta words" , interestingly you will find that those avestan words are too similar to today's English words , like these avestan words : year (yare) ,arm (arema), you (yuzh), he (he) ,we (vae) ,fresh (frasha) , win (van) , three (thri) , gape (gapa) ,path (pathan) , now ( nû), not (nôit) ..and many more....these similarities are mind-boggling , specially considering the distance between Iran and England...of course other languages like Latvian and lithuanian have a lot of similar words with avestan and sanskrit languages too.
My resources : Google translate , Wiktionary (translations part of every word in wiktionary has translation of each word almost in all languages), also many other sources,also i have discovered many of these words connections by myself...
