Line 32:
"The Sintashta culture is regarded as the origin of the Indo-Iranian languages." This is an unproved and unprovable, thus unscientific, claim. The only correct way would be to cite the author of that claim, in particular to convey his arguments. Anything else is not tolerable. Notwithstanding that I myself tend to this view, I would never dare to state it in the manner written here.[[User:HJJHolm|HJJHolm]] ([[User talk:HJJHolm|talk]]) 06:59, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
== This part is pure fantasy ==
This part is pure concoction and misinterpretation of indian vedic texts and has not been verified by any archaeologist, can you please quote any archaeological work done in this sintashta culture which supports this theory of indo iranian culture?
as far as im aware the biggest authority on vedic texts are the the indian hindu scholars themselves, but none are quoted which can show that vedic texts match with this sintashta culture
''Proto-Indo-Iranian ethnic and linguistic identity
The approximate present-day distribution of the Indo-European branches of Eurasia:
Indo-Iranian
See also: Indo-Aryan migration
The people of the Sintashta culture are thought to have spoken Proto-Indo-Iranian, the ancestor of the Indo-Iranian language family. This identification is based primarily on similarities between sections of the Rig Veda, an Indian religious text which includes ancient Indo-Iranian hymns recorded in Vedic Sanskrit, with the funerary rituals of the Sintashta culture as revealed by archaeology.[12] There is however linguistic evidence of a list of common vocabulary between Finno-Ugric and Indo-Iranian languages. While its origin in the Ural region may ascribe the Sintashta culture exclusively to Indo-Iranian ethnicity, interpreting this culture as a blend of two cultures with two distinct languages is a reasonable hypothesis based on the evidence.[13] From the Sintashta culture the Indo-Iranian languages migrated with the Indo-Iranians to Anatolia, India and Iran.[14][15] From the 9th century BCE onward, Iranian languages also migrated westward with the Scythians back to the Pontic steppe where the proto-Indo-Europeans came from.[15]
