Introduction to Avestan (repost)

Introduction to Avestan (Brill Introductions to Indo-European Languages, Book 1) by Javier Martínez & Michiel de Vaan
English, Avestan | 2013 | ISBN: 9004258094 | ISBN-13: 9789004258099 | 120 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

This Introduction to Avestan provides a concise grammar of the Avestan language, the language of the followers of the Iranian prophet Zarathustra. The grammar focuses on spelling, phonology and morphology, but also includes a chapter on syntax.

Abundant information on the historical development of the language is included, which renders the grammar very useful for students of Indo-Iranian and Indo-European. Also, a small number of selected Avestan texts is added, with a complete glossary, so that students can practise reading Avestan.
