• Pahlavi language was the language current in Iran in the Sasanian times from 226 A.D. onwards. It is a polyphonous language as the letters of its alphabets are variously pronounced. There are some words of Semetic origin in Pahlavi because ancient Iran was under Semetic influence at different periods in its history. Pahlavi is also called Middle-Persian because it stands midway between the old Persian and Modern Persian.
