Really? I thought the elamites were btfo by the median steppeniggers. Persepolis doesn't even become relevant until 550BC, before that capital was ectabana in central/northern iran.

Low quality bait.

Why did Persians adopt Aramaic? Was it because semitic languages are superior?
>>
>>2748421
They used Imperial Aramic specifically because Aramic was the most common spoken tongue in the Levant and most of the rest of the Near East at the time. Same reason why Alexander's short-lived empire used Aramic along side Persian and Greek and the Seleucids retained that same policy after him, and the Parthians and Sassanids after them.

It was a common binding language that was intelligible with most other Aramic dialects and language variants and made governing and trading easier between various groups.
