Eastern Iranian languages

Eastern Iranian languages are a branch of the larger Iranian language family, which includes languages spoken across Iran and surrounding regions. They evolved in eastern Iran and Central Asia, with notable examples like Pashto, spoken mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Balochi, used in Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. These languages share common roots and features but have developed unique dialects and vocabulary over time. They are part of the broader Indo-Iranian language group and reflect the diverse cultural and historical influences of the regions where they are spoken.
