The Old Avestan of the Gathas is closely related to the Vedic languages, and it is drastically different from the Younger Avestan present in the rest of the Zend-Avesta. Most of the disputes are in regards to Zarathustra's exact date of bith, ranging from 1500 to 800 BCE, but the majority of scholars would agree Zarathustra either orated or wrote the Gathas somewhere in Eastern Iran called "Khorasan". The Sassanian Zoroastrian mobed migrated from Khorasan, like Sogdia and Bactria, which historically was the hub of Zoroastrianism. Technically speaking, the original Zoroastrians were not Persians, but Persians did adopt it.
