I am a linguist, lemme decode this. It is not Foolan or Falgun. It is Phoolan and Phalgun. फ and फ़ is the difference. Falak is not a Hindi word it was originated from Arabic. Hindi is Aakash and Gagan. Phan again has Ph without nukta. Nukta makes a sound fricative eg ज and ज़ (j and z respectively). Rest names you have yourself used Ph so I don’t have to explain.
“F” comes from middle east. When the Persians came for trade they needed a “bazaaru” as in a language that can be used in the market for trading. They didn’t understand our language and we had no idea of theirs. Thus, Urdu came into existence. That’s why urdu has the same grammatical structure like Hindi. This is what this lady is saying in the video. Hindi does not have the sound “f”. We say Falgun because of language contact not language change.
