Scythian
The Scythian languages (Dutch: Scythische talen) are a language family native to Europe, Persia and its peripheries, and northern South Asia. In modern times, the languages have spread to Tauland, Oceania, and the Americas. This group is also sometimes referred to as the Aryan languages.
The term 'Scythian' was coined by Dutch linguist Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn, who proposed that several languages of Europe and Asia were related. Generally, the Scythian languages are divided into seven branches; Aegean, Aryan, Baltic, Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Italic.
