Not illustrated. 1870 Excerpt: ...we have now seen, can be sought for only during the period of the Assyrian rule, which lasted, over Iran, for 520 years (Herodotus I. 9'j), and was established as early as the twelfth century B. C., if not earlier. In the whole history of Iran, from Assyrian down to Arsacidan times, there is no other period, during which its rise and spread could be explained in any reasonable way. It is not however to be supposed, that the Iranians adopted the Assyrian language in its purity. They learned it as a conquered race learns the language of their conquerors, and mingled it with words of their own vernacular idiom; but those parts of speech which are decisive of the character of a language, such as pronouns, prepositions, particles, the most common nouns 1) There are still some bi-lingual tablets extant, in Assyrian cuneiform writing, with a transliteration, or rather a translation, into Aramaic characters and the vulgar Assyrian dialect which underlies the Pahlavi. They have been published by Sir H. Rawlinson, with an explanation, in the Journal of the R. As. Soc, new scries, vol.. pag. 187--24fi. and verbs, the declension and even some suffixes, remained Semitic. It was only in the conjugation of Ihe verbs, and in the construction of the sentences, that Iranian influence gradually prevailed. This is not surprising, for the Assyrian way of denoting tenses and moods is much inferior to the Aryan; the Assyrians used only one principal tense, the so-called aorist (with the personal characteristics prefixed), and active and passive participles, whilst the Iranians used a present and three past tenses, besides various forms of participles, and different moods, such as the optative and conjunctive, which the Assyrians could not well distinguish.

Indologist Orientalist university professor
Haug was born at Ostdorf (today a part of Balingen), Württemberg.
Martin Haug became a pupil in the gymnasium at Stuttgart at a comparatively late age, and in 1848 he entered the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, where he studied oriental languages, especially Sanskrit. He afterwards attended lectures at the Georg-August University of Göttingen, and in 1854 settled as Privatdozent at the University of Bonn.
In 1856 Martin Haug moved to the University of Heidelberg, where he assisted Bunsen in his literary undertakings. In 1859 he accepted an invitation to India, where he became superintendent of Sanskrit studies and professor of Sanskrit in Poona. Here his acquaintance with the Zend language and literature afforded him excellent opportunities for extending his knowledge of this branch of literature.
Having returned to Stuttgart in 1866, he was called to Munich as professor of Sanskrit and comparative philology in 1868. It was Dr. Haug who originally outlined the structure of the popular Sanskrit introductory books by Bhandarkar which was used throughout India in the early 20th century. Haug died in Bad Ragaz.
Haug was an orietalist, known for his works of considerable importance to the student of the literatures of ancient India and Persia.
