Southwestern Iranian languages Old Persian is an Old Iranian language, a member of the Southwestern Iranian language group. As an Iranian language, Old Persian is a member of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. Old Persian subsequently evolved into Middle Persian, which is in turn the nominal ancestor of New Persian. By the late Achaemenid period (4th c. CE), the inscriptions of Artaxerxes II and Artaxerxes III differ enough from the language of Darius's inscriptions to be called a "pre-Middle Persian," or "post-Old Persian."[1]
