What happened to the Persian language during Parthian times? Was that Middle Persian too? Or the language went unwritten?Cpom 20:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


A section should be added to show the relationship with other Iranian langagues, especially the northwestern Iranian languages.--DFront21 21:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parthian MP

As far as I know, very little of Parthian-era writing exists, but it's generally held that it was a Northwest Iranian language (as opposed to Southwest Iranian, which is the family of MP and its descendent NP). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasper Zanjani (talkcontribs) 16:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
