Gathic Avestan is covered on the Avestan page. I don't see a Gathic page being created in the foreseeable future, as the Gathas and comparison with Vedic Sanskrit are the only evidence we have of its age and particular grammatical structure. I'll clean this up a little, add a few verses, some Avestan and clean it up a tad - though its not that bad now. Khirad 05:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)


I dont see any mention of the fact that some parts of Gathas are missing? --Kash 12:33, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-Zoroastrian Gathas

Gathas also feature in the Buddhist faith usually taking the form of short verses recited for the purposes of daily mindfullness. Shouldn't this get a note on this page since it is the sole one on Gathas Lostsocks 21:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
