  • History of the Persian Language in the East (Central Asia) Richard N. Frye
    History of the Persian Language in the East (Central Asia) Richard N. Frye In pursuit of this quest we must first examine the origins of the Persian language. It began as the dialect of the Persian tribes settled in the southwestern part of the Iranian plateau, and especially the dialect of the clan of the Achaemenids who founded an empire in the sixth century B. C. For more than two centuries Persian was the spoken language of the rulers of the vast empire, and the upper classes of many other Iranian peoples, as well as non-Iranian peoples, learned the language. This contributed to the breakdown of the complicated grammatical structure of Persian, as we know from the inscriptions written by the Achaemenids, and which we today call Old Persian. Even though only a small number of inscriptions have been found the disappearance or falling together of noun cases, such as the dual number, and verbal forms such as conditional clauses, reveal the progressive simplification of the language. The use of Persian by non-Persian speakers contributed to this simplification, as well as the introduction of foreign words into Persian, especially from Aramaic, which was the lingua franca of the empire. It is generally agreed that by the end of the Achaemenid Empire in 330 B. C. the Persian language had reached the Middle Persian stage, but this cannot be proved because of the nature of writing systems which conceal the pronunciation of words. As a matter of fact, as far as we know, the cuneiform system of writing of Old Persian was only used for royal inscriptions, while ordinary writing was in the Aramaic language with an Aramaic alphabet.

  • Origins of the Pashto Language and Phases of Its Literary Evolution
    Origins of the Pashto Language and Phases of its Literary Evolution María Isabel Maldonado García Bakht Munir ABSTRACT: The cultural and historical richness of the Pashto language as well as its significance within the context of other languages has been acknowledged across the world. This article explores the contradictions of various historians and philologists in connection with the origin of Pashtos as a main language of South Asia, with special reference to Semitic and Aryan theories, the process of development of its literature, the dialects of the language and its place within the context of the South Asian linguistic reality. This work also explores the evolution of Pashto literature and critically investigates a recently conducted DNA study that negates Pakhtoon’s genetic association with Arabs. Keywords: Origin of Pashto, dialectology, Pashto literature. Journal of Research (Humanities) 146 1. Introduction The language of multilingual Afghanistan is Pashto, which is not only both the national and official language of the country along with Dari but also a regional language of Pakistan, spoken in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The importance of the language became obvious at the time of the Afghanistan war. In 2012, according to Ethnologue there were 25, 500 speakers of this language in Afghanistan. Scholars of history and philology hold contradicting opinions concerning the origin of the language. This developed into two different sets of theories; the Aryan and the Semitic. In regards to the dialects of Pashto, their formation is based on various socio-cultural and economic factors, relations among the different communities and other linguistic and historical dynamics which have been fundamental during the formation stage of Pashto dialects.

  • The Thought of Sheykh Fazlallah Nuri Within the Frames of Semiotic Analyses
    ABASSY Małgorzata: Progressive or Conservative? The Thought of Sheykh Fazlallah Nuri within the frames of semiotic analyses The personage of Sheykh Fazlallah Nuri and his activity during the Constitutional Revolution belong to the most convoluted and controversial issues. In some periods of his activity Nuri supported the Qajar court whereas in others he was a proponent of a constitutional order. However, one fixed and profound pattern can be discovered beneath Nuri's attitudes towards the events of the mashrute period. It resulted from defence of the Shi‘a Islam. Sheykh Fazlallah Nuri changed his views and the tools he used to inculcate them depending on how he perceived the greatest threat for Islam at the particular moment. Semiotic analyses of Nuri's writings will allow us to describe the pattern and its configuration: the central, stable elements and the elements of secondary importance. The division between „own‖ and „foreign‖, which is specific for semiotic analyses, helps us to precise what elements, defined by Nuri as „own‖ and „foreign‖, clashed and what was the result of the encounter. Research in the Sheykh's writings within the frames of semiotic analyses will also lead to re-defining the concepts of „progressive‖ and „conservative‖. ABBASI Javad: Historical Data in Non-Historical Sources (Importance of Rashid Al-Din‟s Scientific and Theological Writings in Historical Studies) Having a precise reconstruction of the past is based on expanding references to all detailed and scattered data. Although the main part of historical materials for history of Iran has been provided in narrative sources like histories and original documents as well as letters and endowments, there are much more historical materials in other kind of ancient texts.

  • Ergativity in Bactrian
    Offprint:132 SALOUMEH Orientalia G HOLAMI Suecana LVIII (2009) pp. 132–141 Ergativity in Bactrian Saloumeh Gholami Göttingen Abstract The Middle Iranian language Bactrian is described as having an ergative construction for past transitive verbs, while the present system patterns nominatively. The aim of this article is to show the specific forms of ergativity in Bactrian. The focus will be on the different forms of subject and object marking, including the function of the preposition αβο “to” to mark the object. I will argue that apart from canonical ergative constructions, Bactrian shows neutral and tripartite patterns. These can be seen as signs of a transition of the ergative into the nominative construction. 1 1. Introduction Bactrian belongs to the Eastern Middle Iranian language group and was originally spoken in northern Afghanistan. It is the only Iranian language that is known to be written with the Greek alphabet. “As the language of the Kushan kings, Bactrian must have been widely known throughout a great empire, in Afghanistan, Northern India and parts of Central Asia.” 2 This language is attested in sources such as coins, seals, and a few inscriptions of the Kushan period “(first to third centuries AD)” 3 and also by many economic and legal documents such as lists, accounts, and letters perhaps from the fourth to the eighth or ninth century AD. A number of Iranian languages, such as Middle Persian, Pashto, Kurdish, and Hawrami, are described as having an ergative construction. According to Dixon, ergativity is a grammatical pattern in which “the subject of an intransitive clause is treated in the same way as the object of a transitive clause, and differently from tran- sitive subject.” 4 It should be noted that Iranian languages generally exhibit what is known as “split ergativity”, 5 since the ergative construction is found only in clauses based on the past stem of the verb.

The Bactrian language Bactrian is a Middle Iranian language formerly spoken in Northern Afghanistan and attested primarily by inscriptions of the Kushan period (1st-3rd centuries C.E.) and a much more substantial corpus of documents belonging to the Sasanian period and later (4th-9th centuries). Apart from one fragment in Manichaean script, all the known Bactrian texts are written in a local variety of Greek script. In this paper, Bactrian sentences will be cited in an approximate phonetic transcription. Obviously this transcription is somewhat hypothetical, but not, I believe, in any way which affects the argument to be presented here.

  • Commodity Terms in the Languages of Central Eurasia: New Interpretations from Mugh Document A-1*
    ALISHER BEGMATOV TURFANFORSCHUNG, BBAW COMMODITY TERMS IN THE LANGUAGES OF CENTRAL EURASIA: NEW INTERPRETATIONS FROM MUGH DOCUMENT A-1* SUMMARY The document A-1 is one of the least understood documents among the Sogdian manuscripts from Mount Mugh. The authors of previous editions of this document have reached the conclusion that the commodities referred to in this document are precious stones. I propose that this interpretation is potentially mistaken. By comparing textile terms, mainly in Central Asian languages, I conclude that the content of this document relates to textile or leather products rather than precious stones. Key words: Central Eurasia; Sogdians; Mount Mugh; textiles; languages and lexicon. RÉSUMÉ Le document A-1 est l’un des manuscrits sogdiens les moins compréhensibles du Mont Mugh. Les auteurs des éditions précédentes de ce document sont parvenus à la conclusion que les articles qui y sont mentionnés sont des pierres précieuses. Or, cette interprétation nous semble potentiellement erronée. En comparant les termes désignant les textiles, prin- cipalement dans des langues d’Asie centrale, nous concluons que le document concerne des produits textiles ou dérivés du cuir plutôt que des pierres précieuses. Mots-clés : Eurasie centrale ; Sogdiens ; le Mont Mugh ; langues et lexiques. * * * * I express my gratitude to Professor Yutaka Yoshida for his valuable advice and com- ments.
