Avestan description
Avestan , also known historically as Zend, refers to two languages Old Avestan (spoken in the 2nd millennium BCE) and Younger Avestan (spoken in the 1st millennium BCE) . The languages are known only from their use as the language of Zoroastrian scripture (the Avesta), from which they derives their name. Both are early Iranian languages, a branch of the Indo-Iranian languages within the Indo-European family.

As such, Old Avestan is quite close in grammar and lexicon with Vedic Sanskrit. * The Avestan text corpus was composed in ancient Arachosia, Aria, Bactria, and Margiana, corresponding to the entirety of present-day Afghanistan, and parts of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The Yaz culture of Bactria-Margiana has been regarded as a likely archaeological reflection of the early "Eastern Iranian" culture descr
