1.1. The language Old Persian (OP) is an Old Iranian language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. Speakers of Proto-Iranian may have migrated southwest around 1000 bce from Central Asia. In 843, the Persians are mentioned in an Assyrian inscription as Parsua, who live in the vicinity of Lake Urmia. After a further southward migration they settled in southwestern Iran, giving their name to the region which still bears it today (OP Prsa, Modern Persian Frs, Greek Perss)
