In the twelfth episode of the podcast #"Dingo" from Radio Farda's podcast series, we continue our exploration of Old Persian, examining its structure and grammar. We'll uncover the roots of some modern Persian words in Old Persian, discuss numbers and names of seasons in this ancient language, and read excerpts from the Ganjnameh inscription in Hamadan and a tablet discovered in Persepolis from Xerxes. Produced and presented by Mani Parsa, with contributions from Shahryar Siami.
