Abstract
In comparison with other Iranian languages (e.g. Avestan, Old Persian, Pahlavi, etc.), Khotanese language has received little attention and not many studies have been investigating it. Moreover, in the studies due on Khotanese language, the discussion on pronouns has always been in the margin of the discussion on nouns and adjectives, and has not received much attention. The present study focuses on pronouns in Khotanese language which includes different types of pronouns and the related tables, conjugational features and comparison of Khotanese with other languages, i.e. Old Persian, Avestan, Sanskrit, Sogdian and Ossetian

Keywords
