Avestan language

Avestan is an Eastern Old Iranian language that was used to compose the sacred hymns and canon of the Zoroastrian Avesta. Iranian languages are part of the Indo-Iranian Language group which includes the Indian languages such as Sanskrit. The Indo-Iranian language group is the biggest branch of the Indo-European language family. Avestan contains passive morpheme quite similar to that of Gorani or Hewrami, one of two major dialects spoken today by modern Kurds in Iran and Iraq.
