The unique city of Gur was the first capital of the Sasanian Empire. An unusual round shape that amazed both ancient and modern observers.

Is there any institute in Iran where students can study Pahlavi script? I believe during the Sassanid era both Syriac-Aramic and Pahlavi script were used for official use.
Recently I have found this very interesting web site that might give you some pointers..an interesting site that covers most ancient languages including Proto_iranian languages and how they actually sound to us ..they even have old Egyptian language ..






this web site talks about ancient Farsi also It is called Pasargad institute but I do not have any more info on them.. the video is about "middle Persian" language.

 


The number count in middle Persian is very similar to modern Urdu. 'Ek, Do, Teen, Char, Panch, Chay, Saat, Aat, No, Das', etc. It could be because of the Turkic-Mughal empire who chose Persian as the court and official language. Although they were Turkic-Uzbek rulers, they were heavily Persianized and ruled the subcontinent for a long time. That's also one of the reasons that Iran and Pakistan share a lot of similar customs.

I have listened to Urdu and I can understand many sentences...

Urdu/Hindi/Punjabi/Sindhi etc belong to Indo-Persian language family and derived from Sanskrit and Prakit. Ek do teen were in use long before the Mughals came to Indus. Actually, Old Avestani Persian is tge clisest language to Sanskrit and most Indus languages. The grammar and syntax are Prakrit with persian, Turkic, Sanskrit snd Arabic vocabulary on top of it.

I found that Georgian and Armenian alphabets look similar to old Persian alphabets.
