🔸In his guest blog post, Dr. Milad Abedi, a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Ancient History and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the University of Innsbruck, explores how terms that spread from Iran into numerous languages around the world reveal not only Iran’s role as a hub of international exchange, but also interconnected spaces that modern political maps often obscure.

🗺️How Loanwords travelled across Eurasia ….🎒

❗️New YouTube Video online❗️

What can words like ‘pistachio’, ‘bazar’, ‘caravan’ and ‘pyjamas’ tell us about the people, places and cultures connected to Eurasia?

In this episode, Hanna Lechner speaks with linguistic and post-doctoral researcher Dr. Milad Abedi about the fascinating world of loanwords …. and the hidden history carried within them. 💫

______________________

Long before modern shipping routes connected the world by sea, many goods, people and ideas moved across Eurasia by land - through deserts, mountains, cities and caravanserais - connecting distant cultural and linguistic communities. But these networks carried more than commodities. They also carried words. 🏕️
