Scythian languages
The
Scythian languages
( or ) are a group of
Eastern Iranian languages
of the
classical
and
late
antiquity (
Middle Iranian
)
period
, spoken in a vast region of
Eurasia
named
Scythia
. Except for modern
Ossetian
, which descends from the Alanian variety, these languages are all considered to be extinct. Modern Eastern Iranian languages such as
Wakhi
, however, are related to the eastern
Scytho-Khotanese
dialects attested from the kingdoms of
Khotan
and
Tumshuq
in the ancient
Tarim Basin
, in present-day southern
Xinjiang
,
China
.
