The new issue of the Journal of Iranian Linguistics<\/em> has been released. This issue, which constitutes the second volume of the journal, was published in July 2025. Edited by Vardan Voskanyan and published by Yerevan State University, the journal features five articles by international scholars, each dedicated to topics related to Iranian languages, both past and present.<\/p>

This issue opens with an article by Nima Asefi, presenting an edition of document Berk. 25 and revised readings of three other texts from the \u201cPahlavi Archive of Hastijan.\u201d Drawing on meticulous linguistic and palaeographic analysis, Asefi reconstructs administrative terms, toponyms, and land management structures in late and post-Sasanian Iran, emphasizing the importance of this corpus in the history of Middle Persian documentation.<\/p>

In the following article, Jakob Halfmann investigates the etymology of the New Persian word malang<\/em>. He traces its origin to a Bactrian loanword derived from the Indo-Iranian root mad-<\/em> meaning \u201cto become intoxicated.\u201d<\/p>

Next, Youli Ioannesyan examines the use of progressive tenses with the auxiliary verb d\u0101shtan<\/em> (“to have”) in Persian and related Western Iranian dialects spoken within modern-day Iran. Based on extensive dialectal data, he argues that these structures\u2014absent from Dari and Tajik Persian\u2014are native innovations unique to Iranian varieties inside the country. This article challenges previous claims of external influence and offers a dialectological reassessment.<\/p>

The fourth article presents Midhat Shah\u2019s comprehensive study of Persian loanwords in the Kashmiri language. He explores the phonological, morphological, and semantic adaptation of these loans, revealing the depth and complexity of Persian-Kashmiri interaction. His work fills a long-standing gap in Indo-Iranian studies.<\/p>

Finally, Artyom Tonoyan analyzes a rare linguistic artifact: the Lord\u2019s Prayer translated into Caucasian Persian (Tati) and written in Armenian script. Through transliteration, translation, and commentary, Tonoyan offers a linguistic and historical interpretation of the text and its context. This article contributes to the study of Caucasian Persian dialects and highlights the role of the Armenian script in preserving Iranic minority languages.<\/p>

Like previous issues, this volume emphasizes linguistic diversity, historical interaction, and dialectal innovation within the Iranian language sphere.<\/p>
