Text study and the analysis of ancient manuscripts are significant ways to become more familiarized with cultural and literary backgrounds of a language. The study of Iranian ancient languages will provide us with more information about different semantic and syntactic layers in the construction of these languages. The Khotanese language is one of the eastern middle Iranian languages. Since this language has been studied and researched less than other old Iranian and western middle Iranian languages, the present article aims to studyCoordinate and subordinate compound sentences in the Book of Zambasta, chapter 2. The Book of Zambasta is one of the major works of literature in Kholanese language which is an original and indigenous compilation that describes the Mahāyāna school of Buddhism doctrine. Studies prove the existences of three forms of simple, compound sentences in the text. In this article only nominal clauses of subordinate compound sentences are discussed. For this purpose, some sentences are collected from the Book of Zambasta, chapter 2 as examples.
