Avestic refers to the language used in the Avesta, just as Vedic (an old Sanskrit language) is the language of the Vedas. It is not known whether this language had a proper name. This language appears as a liturgical language. It belongs to the Indo-Iranian language group, and is closely related to Sanskrit. It comes from ancient Eastern Iran (now Afghanistan).
