The book chronologically positions the emergence of the Persian language from its first speakers to its broad spreading through conquest, trade, and scholarship.

The author asserts that the language, once spoken by only a few, served as an essential element for the spread of major religions and advanced learning in the ancient world, and survives today in the cultural exchanges of the twenty-first century.
