The 'Western Iranian languages' are a subgroup of the Iranian languages, attested from the time of Old Persian (6th century BC).
The two sub-branches are:

★ Northwestern Iranian languages

★ Southwestern Iranian languages
The opposition of these two dialect groups is apparent already in Old Iranian times, from the opposition of Old Persian and Median.
