Linguistic Changes in Eurasia around 500 BC
In Eurasia, the Scythians were the most recent major linguistic expansion, while Mesopotamia experienced a shift from Acadian to Aramaic. The Assyrians and neo-Babylonians used Aramaic as their administrative language, and the Persians made it their major language of administration. Imperial Aramaic became a common language across the vast Persian Empire, connecting different linguistic groups from Egypt to South Asia. This set the stage for future linguistic expansions.
