Written by a commended scholar, this book is a comprehensive study of the Persian language and culture. The book chronologically positions the emergence of the Persian language from its first speakers to its broad spreading through conquest, trade, and scholarship. From its humble beginnings, the author demonstrates in great detail its cultural, literary, and linguistic evolution up to its present-day use. The author asserts that the language, once spoken by only a few, served as an essential element for the spread of major religions and advanced learning in the ancient world, and survives today in the cultural exchanges of the twenty-first century.
