  • The Eastern Iranian languages are a subgroup of the Iranian languages emerging in Middle Iranian times (from ca. the 4th century BC). The Avestan language is often classified as early Eastern Iranian, but this is uncertain. They are divided into a Northeastern and a Southeastern branch. In spite of this separation, Eastern Iranian remained a single dialect continuum subject to common innovation. As opposed to the Middle Western Iranian dialects, Middle Eastern Iranian preserves word-final syllables. Eastern Iranian is thought to have separated from Western Iranian in the course of the later 2nd millennium BC, and was possibly located at the Yaz culture. The largest living Eastern Iranian language is Pashto with some 40 million speakers, a major language of Afghanistan and western Pakistan.
  • Los idiomas iranios orientales son un subgrupo de lenguas iranias que emergieron en tiempos iranios medios (desde alrededor del siglo IV a. C.). El idioma avéstico es a menudo clasificado como iranio oriental temprano, pero esto no es seguro. En los idiomas iranios orientales se distingue una rama meridional y otra septentrional, pero a pesar de ello, el iranio oriental permaneció un contínuo dialecto único sujeto a innovación común. Como opuesto a los dialectos iranios occidentales medios, el iranio oriental medio conserva sílabas final de palabra. El iranio oriental se cree que se separó del iranio occidental en el curso de finales del II milenio a. C. , y estaba posiblemente ubicado en la cultura de Yaz. El idioma iranio oriental superviviente más amplio es el pastún con unos 40 millones de hablantes, un idioma mayoritario en Afganistán y Pakistán occidental.
