Pahlavi - Pahlavigo

Japanese: パフラビー語 - ぱふらびーご
Pahlavi - Pahlavigo

It is a dialect of Middle Iranian, and was the language of Sassanid Persia (226-651). Its core sources are Zoroastrian texts, but it also contains secular texts. It is written in Aramaic characters, but many Aramaic forms are used as ideograms, making it a complex writing system that is extremely difficult to decipher. The name Pahlavī (or Pehlībi) originally comes from a moniker meaning "of Parthia."

Japanese:

中期イラン語の方言の一つで、ササン朝ペルシア(226~651)の言語である。中核をなす資料はゾロアスター教の文献であり、そのほか世俗的文献を含む。アラム系の文字で書かれるが、多くのアラム語形が表意文字として用いられており、複雑な書記体系をつくっていて、判読はきわめて難解である。なお、パフラビーPahlavī(あるいはペフレビー)という名称は、本来「パルチアの」という意味の呼称に由来する。
