		Chorasmian, also known as Khwarezmian or Khwarazmian, is the name of an extinct northeastern Iranian language closely related to Sogdian.
		The language was spoken in the area of Chorasmian/Khwarazm on the northern banks of the river Jaxartes in Transoxiana (part of the modern Republic of Uzbekistan).

		His work on Sogdian, Chorasmian, and Ossetic is especially important.
		In 1933 he led an expedition sponsored by the Russian Academy of sciences to the ruins on Mount Mug in Tajikistan, where a large archive of Sogdian documents from the 8th-century reign of De@wa@æt^± was discovered.
		By investigating these glosses Fre¥man reconstructed the Chorasmian language (see CHORASMIA iii) of the 13th century, which had almost been lost.

	Chorasmia
		The first of these is the fact that ancient chronographers knew a Chorasmian era, that dated back to 1292 BCE.
		The second indication is that according to the Gâthâ's, Avestan texts written in the fourteenth or thirteenth century, the prophet Zarathustra was protected by king Hystaspes of Chorasmia.
		Not much later, the Chorasmian kings started to mint coins, which were inspired by the coins of the Seleucid kings and -after c.240- Bactria, which was ruled by people who claimed Greek descent.

	Osprey Publishing - Sassanian Elite Cavalry AD 224—642
		Heavy cavalry (with armor for man and horse) was an early tactical answer to the fast and agile mounted bowmen of the steppes.
		Chorasmian heavy armored cavalry may have used the tactics of close order attack (see Michalak, 1987, p.74).
		Its adoption by the heavy cavalry of the Achaemenids was the first true representation of the prototype "knight." Persian Azat knights often settled their disputes with cavalry and it was here that the Zoroastrian concept of Farr (divine glory) and north Iranian warfare evolved into the man-to-man joust.

		Hecatseus of Miletus, who was contemporary with Darius Hystaspis, made the Parthians adjoin upon the Chorasmians in the account which he gave of the geography of Asia.
		But, in the first place, the existence of isolated nationalities, detached fragments of some greater ethnic mass, embodied amid alien material, is a fact familiar to ethnologists; and, further, it is not at all certain that there were not other Turanian races in these parts, as, for instance, the Thamanasans.
		Competent enough to maintain themselves against the comparatively small tribes in their near neighborhood, the Chorasmians, Hyrcanians, Arians of Herat, Bactrians, and Sagartians, it was not possible for them to make an effectual resistance to a monarch who brought against them the entire force of a mighty empire.

		The development of the four scripts of Pahlavi type, with their varying orthographic and calligraphic rules, was governed not only by inner dynamics but also probably by a strong tendency among chanceries and scribal schools to distinguish themselves from one another.
		Whereas books in Late Chorasmian are written in Arabic script, Middle Chorasmian inscriptions (less precisely called "Old Chorasmian") are written in a script of the Pahlavi type (see CHORASMIA iii).
		Middle Chorasmian is, however, attested mainly through coin legends (Va¥nberg), a large number of dated inscriptions in ink on ossuaries excavated at Tok Kala (Tolstov and Livshits; Gudkova; Henning, 1965), and inscriptions on silver vessels, some of them dated (Henning, 1965, p.

		The Achaemenians, Sogdians, Chorasmians, and Armenians, all Zoroastrians by faith, had their own names for their months.
		There are indications that it was done during the reign of Artaxerxes II (405-359 B.C.E.), and that naming the months and days in honor of deities were adopted from the Egyptians.
		The names of the Gahanbars, and those of the Vedic, Achaemenian, Sogdian, Chorasmian, and Armenian months show that the names of the pre-Zarathushtrian and Gathic months must have been based on the seasons and social activities, and not on deities.

		Russian archeologists have found Scythian war-horses almost perfectly preserved in frozen barrow tombs in the Altay Mountains; they show that as early as 500 BC the nomads were selecting for tall, "dry," fast horses, similar in all respects to the Akhal Téké.
		These war-horses of Central Asia became famous throughout the ancient world, and were known variously—depending on time and place—as Median, Bactrian, Sogdian, Hyrcanian, Chorasmian, or Parthian.
		A Chinese emperor of the second century BC sent a party to Central Asia to bring back what the Chinese called "the horses of heaven" or the "thousand-li" horses, so called because they could run a thousand li without tiring and, according to the Chinese account, sweated blood.
