Old Persian
Ancient empire's language was a crafted tool of power and unity, not just communication

How did Old Persian's role as an imperial language influence its development compared to related languages like Avestan and Vedic Sanskrit?
It was standardized and simplified for official inscriptions to unify the empire, unlike the more religious or poetic uses of its relatives.
It remained unchanged and purely religious like Avestan, without adaptation for administrative use.
Old Persian was primarily a spoken language with no formal written tradition during the Achaemenid Empire.
