This article, while dealing with the position of Balochi language among Iranian languages and dialects, and the expression of a kind of structure of this language, has made a comparative study of twelve Persian-Balochi words which have been used in Ancient Persian transcripts. This study is around the meaning of words most of which are not actively used in modern Persian. In addition, some of them have less evidence in past Persian texts, especially works related to the Khorasani style. The words discussed in this article are as follows: Bazhr, Qalandar, Haraj, Totoq, Zadeh, Lebāsāt, SoɁlook, Khasm, Qallaash, Vāy, chāk, tāmāt.
