ottoman upper class was all white

mostly balkan

fun fact

russian language is the most similar to sanskrit of other indo-european languages, apparently followed by greek

more than indian languages or did you just mean european ones?

of european

barely anybody in India speaks or understand Sanskrit

You're thinking of lithuanian @The Enlightened Shepherd

how do you stand with foreign languages Y'ALL

I honestly never had a deep desire to learn any other than English, unless I'm provided with an opportunity to use it

This whole learning new tongues and getting enligthened thing seemed to me as one giant yuppy scheme

Balto-slavic language kinship with indo-aryan is proof slavs aren't white

Indo-Aryans were White

My theory is they're renegade slaves from the Persian empire

Who fled west

Indo-Aryan peoples were the same thing as European Aryans

they only moved to India, hence INDO-Aryan

Mind blown

Doesn't mean that Europeans = persians

Not today in 2017

But when they split up from central Asia, with their native tongues, they were same people

And that's where we source our tongues from

That's when the whole Proto-Indo-European started splitting into branches

Maybe the Aryans weren't white

They got assimilated into white europe

Of course they are

Like the huns

Why of course

How does Vedic literature describe Aryan people

As White in skin, of course

ANYWAY

Studies had shown that Slavic people are possibly, among other peoples, also related to ancient Schytians

who were themselves, indeed of Indo-Iranian origin

White in skin

But that would mostly be true of Eastern Slavic peoples

and Western to an extent

I think the original, ur-slavic people, were pretty swarthy

They were described as such

They got assimilated into Europeans

The only description of ancient Slavic peoples describes them the same way as Goths

Untrue
