Leiden University, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL), is looking for a
to work on
**“Sogdian and Bactrian wanderers: Linguistic contacts of Sogdian and Bactrian in the Tarim Basin”**
as part of the ERC-funded project The Silk Road Language Web.
In “Sogdian and Bactrian wanderers”, the linguistic influence of the Middle Iranian languages Sogdian and Bactrian in the Tarim Basin is to be investigated systematically. Both languages are not native to the Tarim Basin, but were extremely influential, as evidenced by many loanwords and names. It is known that Sogdian was spread by Sogdian traders, who also settled in different places throughout the Tarim Basin. Bactrian was the language of the Kuṣānas, but it is not well understood how exactly it reached into the Tarim Basin. While Sogdian and Bactrian influence in Tocharian is recognised, no systematic investigation exists. Although similar influence is to be expected in Khotanese, little research has been done on the topic.
