      @@qfzyhclqujd6530 Wusun is the Sinicized name for a tribe that was referred to in the west as Issedones and by the Turks as Ashina. This name likely derives from an Indo-Iranic term meaning 'horsemen' (Asi or Osi from a word like 'Ass' for horse or donkey), and many nomadic Indo-Iranian tribes had similar names, such as the modern Iranic Ossetians (also called Asi or Alans). The Wusun were at least partly absorbed into the Gokturks. The Kyrgyz, a modern Turkic tribe who live in approximately the same location as the Wusun, carry 63% haplogroup R1a, which is the predominant haplogroup found in Indo-Iranic and Balto-Slavic peoples. I've also read some texts that claim that the Bashkirs descend from the Wusun. Bashkirs primarily carry a mixture of haplogroups R1b and R1a.
      Also read:
      A genetic study published in Nature in May 2018 examined the remains of four Wusun buried between ca. 300 BC and 100 BC. The sample of Y-DNA extracted belonged to haplogroup R1. The samples of mtDNA extracted belonged to C4a1, HV6, J1c5a and U5b2c. The authors of the study found that the Wusun and Kangju had less East Asian admixture than the Xiongnu and Sakas. Both the Wusun and Kangju were suggested to be descended from Western Steppe Herders (WSHs) of the Late Bronze Age who admixed with Siberian hunter-gatherers and peoples related to the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex.

      ​@@qfzyhclqujd6530 According to the genetic research and linguistic evidence, the Wusun were originally much more similar to Pashtuns or Russians than Mongols or Tungusic people. They did later mix with various tribes that migrated from farther north and east in Siberia, who were probably somewhat intermediate to Ostyaks (haplogroup N) and Yeniseians (haplogroup Q), but could have also had some component related to Mongols. That mixed group became a core, around which the Turkic ethnic families formed.
      At the time of the Wusun, Mongolic people were mostly limited to east of the Baikal rift area and in what's now called inner-Mongolia within modern China. Later in history, some Khitans (related to Mongols) migrated west and were absorbed into the Kazakh turks. Eventually, Mongols rose to dominance in the Altai, pushed out most of the remaining Turks from 'outer-Mongolia' and then the Mongol Empire followed from there.

    For those of who don't know what happened suddenly around 14th CE. Those were the Romani people, of Western Indian origin (probably of a western clad of Rajasthani people) who were forced to migrate to the West by the subsequent raids by the Arab Caliphs and other Parso-Turkic sultans in the West of India during the middle ages, somewhere between 6th to 11th century AD.

      Sinhala language was made by Elu Prakrit aka Sinhala Prakrit with influence from Pali and Sanskrit. However, Sinhala language has it's own unique features like ඇ (æ) and ඈ (æ:) vowels and half-nasal sounds ඟ (ňga), ඳ (ňda), ඬ (ňda), ඹ (ňba) and ජ (ňja) which aren't in any other Indo-Aryan or Dravidian languages.

      For one, Punjabi has much less speakers. Pakistani govt counts all natives in Pakistan as Punjabi speakers but this far from true. Saraiki and Pahari-Potohwari languages are verifiably different. Pakistan's Punjabi numbers are completely hyperinflated. Additionally, India's Punjabi numbers are deflated. Indian Punjab split on the basis of Hindu-Sikh regions which affected their linguistic relations as well. Many Hindu Punjabis reported their mother tomgue as Hindi even when they couldn't actually speak it, a large fraction also eventually gave up on Punjabi for Hindi. Crucially, mainly Hindu Punjabi former refugees from Pakistani Punjab settled outside of Indian Punjab, including Delhi, Haryana, UP, Himachal, Jammu Kashmir, etc. They too eventually lost their language or report it as Hindi mostly. Ethnically speaking, India has about 45+% of Punjabis and Pakistan has the remaining but Pakistan hyperinflates Punjabi's numbers like crazy because Islamabad doesn't bother.

    • @didd2810
      @didd2810 9 месяцев назад

      Bhojpuri is much higher than reported. This is because majority Bhojpuri speaking areas in East UP report their language as Hindi even though their mother tongue is Bhojpuri. This is not the same for West Biharis who only report Bhojpuri. Accounting for this change, Bhojpuriyas are actually one of the largest ethnic groups in India. The only question is if Bengalis are more than them or not, I can't say for sure.

    • @didd2810
      @didd2810 9 месяцев назад

      Hindi-Urdu is nowhere as big. Its largely limited to urban speakers in North Indian cities or urban folks of mixed ethnox backgrouds. In any rural setting, majority of the population don't speak either even when they report or govt presents like that. Rajasthani, Awadhi, Braj, Malvi, Haryanvi, Kannauji, Bundeli, Bagheli, Chhattisgarhi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Khorta, and all Pahadi languages from Jammu Kashmir to Uttarakhand make this list.

    Wusun is unclassified Indo-European ethnic group, but were more likely closely related to the Sogdians (who spoke an Indo-Iranian language).
    The first attestation of Wusun isn't until the 2nd century BCE, so I'm not sure how you're getting Wusun languages in the Indo-Aryan video thousands of years before the Common Era.
    Similarly, Nuristani is a separate branch off of Indo-Iranian than either Indo-Aryan or Iranian/Iranic Languages. If anything, it should be in both videos, and then disappear as Iranian does in this one and Indo-Aryan does in the Iranian languages video.

    Nuristani languages aren't considered Indo-Aryan anymore. It was a much older theory. Nuristani languages were earlier thought to be part of "Dardic" languages of Indo-Aryan which themselves are also very divergent from other Indo-Aryan languages and there was also a debate over them for a long time whether they even belonged to Indo-Aryan themselves. Later studies revealed that Nuristani forms it's own seperate branch within Indo-Iranian. A third branch of it seperate from both Indo-Aryan as well as Iranian branch. That is because it shows fundamental features that are unique to it and those don't exist in other two branches.
