Aryan bangar: The spread of Aryan -speaking peoples from

The spread of Aryan -speaking peoples from the Pontic-Caspian steppes into South Asia and Iran facilitated the development of various languages in the Indo-Iranian family, reflecting the deep cultural and linguistic impact of Aryan migration on both regions. Use of Aryan to designate a "white non-Jewish person, especially one of northern European origin or descent" entered the English language from German, [1] after this meaning was introduced in 1887 and further developed by German anti-Semitic propagandists in the context of a so-called " Aryan race". [21] . The Aryans were an Indo-European group whose arrival in the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE fundamentally transformed the region’s cultural, linguistic, and religious landscape. Aryan is probably one of the most misused and abused words ever to come out of the field of linguistics. What the term Aryan actually means and what it has come to mean are two vastly different things.
