I knew the language probably spread there but didn't think it would ever hold out to this day, considering it's been so long since Alexander's Empire.

King Sinhabahu banished Prince Vijaya and his team from the kingdom (For this reason, some Sri Lankans are reluctant to accept Vijaya as a their ansestor) . Their ships sank near Sri Lanka and they were able to swim to Sri Lanka. When he laid his hand on the shore, his hand was covered with copper. Copper in Sanskrit is called "Thamba" . known as copper "Thamba" in also Sinhala. Hence he called Sri Lanka "Thambapanni". At that time, "Yaksha people" of North Indian Aryan origin lived in Sri Lanka. Prince Vijaya married a Yaksha women. Her name was "Kuweni". There were constant clashes between Vijay's group and the Yakshas. Vijaya's group who were angry with Kuveni for being a Yaksha woman lied to Prince Vijaya about her. Prince Vijaya believed them to be true and Kuveni was banished from the palace. She went to the Yakshas. Because she was married to Prince Vijaya, she was killed by the Yaksha people who were angry with her. Her son and daughter escaped and they are ansestors of Vaddas (aborgines). The Veddas also have the genes of the Deva people who lived in the hill country. Prince Vijaya and his team married with South Indian princesses. But Vijaya had no children. After him, Sri Lanka was ruled by his ministers. In 437 BCE Prince Pandukabhaya became the king. He was half yaksha-half Bengali. He could united Yakshas and Bengalis. He made the Sinhala nation. Hence he is known as the first Sinhala king.

The Devanagri Script in which Sanskrit and Hindi are written in very complex and sophisticated, It writes every word as it is pronounced which no other script does. How come a group of nomadic people who invaded India according to the Aryan invasion theory have such a advanced script and language, because the Aryan invasion theory is false. Sanskrit originated in India and it is the language of the Sindhu valley civilization, the most advanced of the time which built brick houses when the world was living in mud/wooden houses. Sanskrit is the language of the gods and the mother of all languages. And Hindus are the true Aryans.

@@prateekatt Indo-Aryans were slowly migrating into India during the late Harappan period. By 1500 BCE, they had completely settled there. In that time period, Proto-Indo-Aryan evolved into Vedic Sanskrit and the people who spoke it were Aryans mixed with the previous inhabitants of India, from whom they incorporated lots of cultural aspects. So by 1500 BCE, they had formed an advanced Indian Culture and had started to compose the Vedas. By 500 BCE, Sanskrit had already began to evolve into local dialects called Prakrits. The oldest written form of any Indo-Aryan language we find in India are the edicts of Ashoka from around 250 BCE. They were in Magadhi Prakrit and were written in the Brahmi Script. This is the oldest deciphered script in India and is the ancestor of all the modern Indian Scripts, even the South Indian scripts, even though their languages are unrelated to any Indo-European languages. From Brahmi, evolved Northern Brahmi > Suraseni Brahmi > Nagari > Central Nagari > Devanagari. Devanagari script became recognisable by 1300 CE. So Devanagari wasn't the script used by the Aryans, and they didn't even use its ancestor, Brahmi, during the Vedic period. So they had more than a thousand years to develop the Brahmi Script from scratch. And also, developing scripts from scratch is super easy for even a single individual, and I have done it many times. The Koreans also did it. So it would be a piece of cake for an advanced culture with a thousand years at hand. Remember, they had already become an advanced culture by 1500 BCE, after migrating, mixing with the locals, adopting many of their traditions, and adjusting to the standards of a metal using, agricultural civilisation. Also, they didn't even need to make it from scratch. As I said, they definitely mixed with and adoption many traditions of the Harappans. So it is possible that they might have learnt their script as well, just like how the Akkadians learnt cuneiform from the Sumerians, which continued to be the major script of the Middle-East for centuries after the Sumerians, even though the Sumerians soon went extinct. So, Brahmi could even be a descendent of the Indus Script. In that case, they would have just borrowed their writing system from a previous civilisation, just like how the Akkadians did, instead of making it themselves. So overall, there is absolutely no reason why a civilisation deriving it's cultural roots from an ancient nomadic tribe cannot have a sophisticated writing system.

Interesting to see this as my someone of eastern iranic ancestry (Afghanistan). Being a possible descendant of these tribes and peoples is very interesting despite the conflicts and marginalization and influence of other groups such as arabs and turks which have kind shifted our identity a bit since then.

The west/east PIE split is very ambiguous, and I don't know what it's based off of. It's certainly not based off of Satem/Centum split, because Proto-Indo-Iranian ultimately comes from Abashevo and Potapovka, which was located in the northern eurasian steppe, and came from Corded Ware. Also, with the map it's hard to pinpoint the exact location of the languages, and it seems quite unnecessary. You should/could have used the Mercator or Equirectangular projection instead. Iranic languages seem to have spread as far east as west of lake Baikal, as evident by the Tashtyk and Karasuk findings. It's not certain the language the Wusun spoke, but they're widely believed to have been speaking either an Iranic or Agni-Kuchean language, not Indo-Aryan. The Mittani speaking Indo-Aryan also seems quite a stretch and it could have been that their names were just unrelated cognates or that it originated from Armenian or Anatolian languages. In Khotan, Kashgar, and Tumshuq, basically everything west of the Yarkand River, Scythian was spoken, and it's believed that Khotan may have been originally Indo-Aryan speaking but were eventually settled by the Saka. Also, in the Ferghana Valley, the city of Cyropolis had been inhabited by greeks since at least Lydia was annexed by Cyrus, so the area should have been greek speaking sooner. In the Dnieper, (central Ukraine), several Greco-Scythian tribes were observed by Herodotus, and he calls their language a mix of Greek and Scythian, the Geloni. In classical (Pre-Christian) Armenia, various Iranic languages were spoken as a court language depending on whichever Iranic empire was dominant at the time because since after the Kingdom of Urartu, Armenia was ruled by Iranian dynasties until the Islamic conquests. The Armenian Arsacid dynasty for example, had the most profound effect on the Armenian vocabulary and grammar, and nowadays Armenian is used as a source to decipher Parthian.

The Gaullish language spoken by Gauls, called French today, influenced latin and other people. As well as modern French for agriculture and war, as well as places' names over the whole territority of France for cities, villages, etc.

Interestingly, 5-6 thousand years ago in Eurasia (excluding the Far East) there were many tribes and languages, of which almost nothing remained. Basques in the West, the peoples of the Caucasus, something northwest of the Himalayas. We know about the rest only by the results of excavations. Who they were is unknown. And the rest was filled out by representatives of 4 language families. The Indo-European peoples have the largest territory. Semites spread from the Sahara to the northeast, Turks from the Mongolian steppes to the west, and Finnish peoples to the west from the Ural Mountains.

Could have been done better in regards to the Iranic branch after 1000.Persian was the languague of the court and administration for most regions from Bengal bay to literally modern day Bosnia,yet you just colored central Asia with shades of dark green in the time frame of 1300-1900.I mean it was literally the official languague of India for example till 1830s.

Think about the Anatolian part of Turkey: it is outside modern conventional borders of Europe, but it has had a history fully intermingled with that of Europe and some of the oldest IE languages (maybe the very origin of IE family) were indigenous of Anatolia. Nevertheless, it has lost its IE character, because of events which happened in middle age and modern age. And that's really a remarkable fact...

It is very likely that Yuezhi's language is not Indo-European, but Sino-Tibetan. Dunhuang in Gansu may be the dividing point between Indo-European and Sino-Tibetan. Before the Huns, the nomadic group in the Hexi Corridor is probably one of the ancient Qiang people

Very well done ! However i think there should be italic & germanic in Africa today (due to french & english being official languages) and maybe also indo-aryan in the Gulf (a lot of indian immigrants). Is there a reason why they aren't depicted?

​@SaxonThrashQueen That doesn't matter. They're still spoken by large parts of the populations. Did you mean because they're not the first language of most people? In that case, then yeah, that might be a considerable argument.

It's likely that the northern subgroup of the Aunjetitz culture 2200 v. u. Z. spoke an early form of protogermanic idiome. The people of the Jastorf culture, the Lausitz culture and the early Przeworsk culture are also likely to have spoken proto germanic idioms. On the assumption that the first sound shift in the west of the Germanic language area did not occur until the 1st century BC Has taken place, but could also proof that Cimbri and Teutons spoken a late form of Proto-Germanic/protoceltic. And the Cimbri wars proof that some germanic tribes and celtic tribes fought and settled together in major units since 130 v.u.z (Kimbern, teutons, Ambronen, Helvetier, Boier) so they had to understand each other.

I like how starting from 5:35 you can see something taking over the steppes and soon after the Roman empire collapses

YES YOU FINALLY DID IT!!!! I LOVE THIS.

I love how the Basque language has managed to hold out all this time.

Keep in mind that a split in a language group (for instance from 1500 B.C, like... the transition phase, from Indo-Iranian into Indo-Aryan and Proto-Iranian respectively. or for instance from Proto-Balto-Slavic into Proto-Baltic and Proto-Slavic respectively), does NOT in any way indicate a LOSS of mutual intelligability between the two groups that split. What the transition era indicates however, is that certain linguistic FEATURES of a given set of languages (either Baltic, Slavic, Indo-Aryan, Iranian respectively), by let's say around 900 B.C (600 years after the first split respectively), would have and would possess clear-cut distinguishable linguistic features in one group/set of languages that are no longer present (or have evolved differently) in the other splinter group-set of languages. But even by around 900 B.C for instance, a proto-Slavic speaking tribe would have LITTLE problem (at most) to communicate with the proto-Baltic speaker, as even though certain major linguistic changes have occured, there would still be so many vocabulary cognates and mutual physically-close contact in terms of proximity. A proto-Balt would have probably had occasional circumstances where he or she would communicate with a proto-Slav and they would at times possibly even learned new vocabulary quickly from each other, as the Proto-Baltic and Proto-Slavic (even after the split in circa 1500 B.C) had 70% of the core vocabulary very very similar, and their ethnic cultures would have still been very influenced by each other's presence constantly, thus ensuring both cultural and linguistic understanding. It wasn't until Poland officially into Catholicism in around 1000 A.C (because of Polish King Mieszko who converted to Catholicism at that time), that Poland would have undergone a major cultural shift, and also when Lithuania later converted into Christianity at around 1400 A.C or so. So cultural or religious change has the highest amount of linguistic changes as well, thus impact heavily on mutual linguistic intelligibility.
