<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Persian has lost most of its simple verbs in the past 12 centuries gradually and the number of its simple verbs is less than 250 in modern era. Instead, it normally makes compound
verbs to refer to actions. This language was heavily affected by Arabic in the last 12 centuries and it borrowed many words from this language.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">My question is: Could we assume that contact with Arabic has caused the decrease of producing/using simple verbs in Persian? Do you know any similar case of language contact effects
in other languages? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
