The Parthian empire was the most enduring of the empires of the ancient Near East. After the Parni nomads had settled in Parthia and had built a small independent kingdom, they rose to power under king Mithradates the Great (171-138). The Parthian empire occupied all of modern Iran, Iraq and Armenia, parts of Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and -for brief periods- territories in Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.

Although much of the Middle Persian literature was translated into Arabic, the bulk of its writings was lost during Islamic times. In Middle Persian times phonetics changes greatly: e.g., Indo-European g'h which became z in Old Persian now turned into d; s > h, kw > sp > s , etc. Much influence it suffered from Parthian and other neighbor languages, and certainly from Arabic. The morphology now becomes completely analytic, loses genders and cases, many verbal forms.
