Middle Persian is the Middle Iranian language/ethnolect of southwestern Iran that during Sassanid times (224–654 CE) became a prestige dialect and so came to be spoken in other regions of the empire as well. Middle Persian is classified as a Western Iranian language. It descends from Old Persian and is the linguistic ancestor of Modern Persian.
Middle Persian consisted of several dialects and variants. One of these variants was called Pahlavīk (Pahlavi) which stands for Parthian, and refers to the Middle Persian that was the language of the Arsacid Dynasty. Another variant of Middle Persian, known locally as Pārsik, was the official language of the Sasanian Dynasty. Most scholars refer to the latter variant when using the term "Middle Persian".
The native name for Middle Persian was Pārsīk (later Pārsīg) translating to "language of Pārs". It consists of Pārs (local name of the Persis province) + adjective suffix -īk ("having to do with"; from PIE -(i)ko and related to Greek –ikos, French –ique, Slavic –isku; e.g. Āsōrik "Assyrian", etc.). The word is consequently the origin of the native name for the Modern Persian language—Parsi or Fārsī.

Professor Albert de Jong - Professor of the Study of Religion, Leiden University Centre for the Study of Religion Their masters’ voice? The genesis of Zoroastrian Persian literature Abstract: In spite of its obvious drawbacks, Zoroastrian Middle Persian in the Pahlavi script remained the chief vehicle of Zoroastrian literary production for centuries after the Arab conquests. It is attested not only in the production, in the ninth century, of a whole library of priestly texts (the “Pahlavi books”), but it is also well attested in documentary (legal, economic) texts and in inscriptions. The production, both in terms of copying old texts and of composing new ones, of this literature in its own script continued for centuries, but came to be accompanied by the production, first, of literary te...

Persian (/ˈpɜrʒən/ or /ˈpɜrʃən/; فارسی fārsi [fɒːɾˈsiː] is the predominant modern descendant of Old Persian, a southwestern Iranian language within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages. It is primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan (officially known as Dari Persian since 1958 for political reasons), and Tajikistan (officially known as Tajiki Persian since the Soviet era for political reasons), and some other regions which historically came under Persian influence.
