Parthia (2): the empire
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. [eng]

ПАРФИЯ
В древности территория, расположенная к юго-востоку
от Каспийского моря, которая с 6 в. до н.э. и вплоть до завоевания
ее Александром Великим числилась провинцией Персидского
царства. После смерти Александра Парфия входила в состав
государства Селевкидов, приблизительно до 250 до н.э., когда
начался период ее подъема. [rus]

Persian language
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. [eng]
