First Victim of Death (1894) - Cyril Kutlík

[along-the-silkroad]

Inscription in Elamite, in the Xerxes I inscription at Van, modern-day Türkiye, Achaemenid, 5th century BCE. The Elamite language is divided into several historical phases: Old, Middle (its “classical” period), Neo-, Achaemenid, and a possible late stage sometimes called Khūzī. The best-documented form is Achaemenid Elamite, widely used in the Achaemenid Empire for inscriptions and administration, especially in the Persepolis archives, which contain over 10,000 tablets from 509–457 BC.

Earlier stages, particularly Old and early Neo-Elamite, are poorly attested, while Neo-Elamite represents a transition between Middle and Achaemenid forms. Evidence suggests Elamite may have survived beyond the Achaemenid period, as indicated by later names, classical texts, and possible references in Jewish and Near Eastern sources.

Between the 8th and 13th centuries CE, Arabic writers describe a language called Khūzī in Khuzistan, possibly a late form of Elamite. It was reportedly still spoken around the 10th century but likely became extinct by the 11th century.
