Excerpt from Grammaire du Vieux Perse
Le simple rapprochement du vieux perse et du persan moderne montre comment on a passé d'une langue du vieux type indo européen à une langue de type tout moderne. Mais, en même temps, on aperçoit déjà dans le perse de l'époque de Darius les amorces de presque tous les développements ultérieurs, dont on obtient ainsi l'explication historique.
